One has to pay up for serious white Burgundy these days, so the wines I recommend from this region are truly world-class and worth every penny. Of course, the 2021 Anjou Blanc Cady (HH&C – now sold out) is more appropriate for everyday duties while not dropping your standards of taste and elegance, but when […]
Stop everything and buy a case of this wine. It is one of the year’s great discoveries, and it continues an unbroken 30-year record of HH&C sniffing out bargain-priced, unmissable, killer-quality Bojos for our delectation. With Pinot-like intensity and peppery, granite-y Gamay flavours, this stunning red wine is packed with blackberry tones and leafy hints. […]
Blend – 91% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot. What a wine! The volume of fruit and the amplitude of flavour both start off on maximum impact and then they don’t drop in the slightest until the very end of the finish. This wine is packed with incredible energy and this force of character […]
I love introducing people to English wines they might not know, like this perfectly formed sparkling white from a small producer. Victoria Moore, www.telegraph.co.uk, 23st Dec 2022
Sister property to Ch Carbonnieux. Good price! Ready and round and full of flavour. Classic Graves with freshness. Jancis Robinson, www.jancisrobinson.com, 3rd Dec 2022
Saline and minerally and recognisably varietal without any exaggeration. Not overpriced. Should interest any fan of relatively ripe Côte Rôtie. Jancis Robinson, www.jancisrobinson.com, 3rd Dec 2022
377 m is the elevation of these organic vineyards. Subtle, fresh and classic without being at all fusty. Great stuff! Jancis Robinson, www.jancisrobinson.com, 3rd Dec 2022
Noirien’s price dips down to a mere £22.50 by the case, making this one of the country’s most competitively priced, seriously delicious Pinots. Noirien is Paul and Caroline Scorpo’s ‘entry-level’ red wine, and it is stunning, lively, juicy, ripe and feisty. It is also pinpoint accurate to its variety and its region! Noirien is an […]
An unusually characterful white based on a grape variety that’s a member of the greater Pinot family, grown round the mouth of the Loire. Usefully low in alcohol. Jancis Robinson, www.jancisrobinson.com, 26th Nov 2022
Not the tightest texture – in fact rather loose – but you can really enjoy the heart and soul in this wine. And the balance is about right. I would happily go to a long reception where this was served. Need I say more? Jancis Robinson, www.jancisrobinson.com, 19th Nov 2022
Jerez has witnessed many incarnations as a wine producing region. From the first signs of civilisation in the Phoenician period to the post-industrial age, there have been many twists and turns to match any wine region in the world. Today Jerez is in a healthy position to reassess its future and return to the qualities […]
Our Buying Director, Siobhán Astbury reports : 2010 was the first vintage that we shipped from Seguin-Manuel. The property was founded in 1824, however its links with Burgundy vineyards date back as far as 1720. The business was bought by Thibaut Marion in 2004, his ambition being to breathe new life into the domaine. Thibaut comes […]
A gorgeous claret from a small château that has the same owner as Château Carbonnieux. Victoria Moore, www.telegraph.co.uk, 4th Nov 2022
Textbook chianti: pure, delicate but intense. As good with ragu as with a roast. Fiona Beckett, www.theguardian.com, 21st Oct 2022
The Amontillado is smoky, raspy, tangy and orange skin-soaked with invigorating freshness and natural balance. It is undoubtedly the most head-turning example of this style I have ever tasted. Matthew Jukes, www.matthewjukes.com, 26th Oct 2022
