Burgundy

One of the greatest domaines in Chablis. Founded by William Fevre in 1957, its vineyard holdings include 12 hectares of premier cru and 16 hectares of grand Cru vines. The domaines fruit is harvested by hand, a rarity in Chablis, and rigorously sorted at the winery to ensure the highest quality. In recent times the amount of new oak used has been cut back and today the average age of the barrels in the cellar is five years. From the Petit Chablis to the domaines six Grand Cru wines, the quality is superb and the range from Domaine William Fevre is a benchmark for the wines of the region.

Domaine William Fevre has led the Chablis revival over the past decade with its refined, full bodied, dry white wines, all 100% Chardonnay, of course, as this appellation is devoted entirely and solely to this great white grape variety. 

Chablis is the northernmost wine region in Burgundy, which produces only Chardonnay. The cooler climate gives these wines crispness, acidity and a flinty minerality.

This premier cru Chablis shows a pronounced nose of fruit and flowers, with lovely freshness and a subtle mineral touch. The palate is generous, with lovely roundness.

A great full bodied, dry white from one of the most revered vineyards in the world.

Les Clos is one of the great whites of the wine world and this is a highly sought after, great expression of Chardonnay from its northernmost outpost, Chablis, north east of Paris. 

100% Chardonnay from 25 to 30 year old vines grown organically and planted on shallow clay-loam soils in the small town of Saint-P?re, facing South-East / South-West. Manual harvesting, sorting in the vineyard and pneumatic pressing of the whole bunches. Natural settling by gravity. Aged on the lees for 10 months. Bottled after a light filtration, just a micro-dose of sulphur.

Pear, honey, brioche, candied citrus fruits on the nose leading to a palate where beautiful minerality perfectly balances the richness of the grape variety. A long saline finish wraps things up nicely.

Very pretty pale golden yellow in colour with light greenish glints. Bright, luminous and limpid. The nose is young, fresh and vivacious in a whirlwind of floral, fruity scents. The taste is lively, pleasant and perfumed, revealing lemon and verbena on a fine mineral background. We discover the pleasure of drinking for sheer enjoyment. The finish is pleasant leaving the mouth tingling with an airy freshness.

Elegance in the bottle, this silky red Burgundy is dense and vibrant; walking a fine tightrope of fresh acidity supporting the full body and impressive layers of flavour. It is made by the father-son winemaking team, Hubert and Laurent Lignier, who together manage nine hectares of vineyard land, from which they make 24 wines at regional, village, premier and grand cru level. 

Their vineyards hae ploughed since the 1990s with no use of weedkillers and insecticides, which is, in their words "In order to favour microorganism and therefore the essential balance for the vine’s growth. Since 2011, we use organic protective treatments."

Excellent Chardonnay from the Puligny-Montrachet appellation in the C?te de Beaune. This is a crisp, dry wine. The nose shows notes of lemon and a subtle, chalky minerality. The palate is crisp, with a malic apple acidity.

Ch?teau de Puligny has benefited in recent years from the arrival of winemaker Etienne de Montille in 2001. Drastic lowering of yields and the reduction of oak has resulted in an increase in quality. Consequently, the wines of Ch?teau de Puligny exhibit great concentration and elegance. 

A light ruby colour in the glass with gentle red berry and subtle earthy aromas on the nose. On the palate the wine is light with an elegant and refined mouthfeel and gentle red fruits flavours. Precise winemaking resulting in quality Pinot Noir.

A rare French Pinot Noir made in tiny volumes - only 437 bottles were produced. It comes from one of the best vintages on record and is available only online and at the Domaine Thomson cellar door in Central Otago - as well as three precious bottles we have managed to secure for Regional Wines & Spirits.

This sumptuous savoury wine has delicate floral style with notes of smoked meat and mushrooms-meet-earthy fresh forest aromas. This is an outstanding red from a small winery in Central Otago, Domaine Thomson, whose owners also have a small amount of highly prized land in Burgundy, France; home to the grapes in this great wine.

Trapet-Rochelandet is a small winery with a big name in Burgundy, which has been owned by the same family for many generations and produces elegant Pinot Noirs with silky structure and longevity. This is a beautiful age worthy wine that can last the distance and also drinks beautifully now; especially great when paired with slow cooked duck confit.
