Serious St Joseph from south, in fact from the respected Cornas producer Domaine Lionnet. Very pure and bright on the nose, dark cherry and earth notes, wild herbs & violets too, very intense with a great backbone of...(read more)

The Padelletti 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is the most delightful release I have yet to taste from this historic winemaking family. No doubt there are many other great wines in this estate's past, given that it s...(read more)

£58.95 £49.95 by the bottle
£53.95 £47.95 in a case of 6*

Lots of earth, meat and spice with cherries and spices. Bark and mushrooms, too. Medium-to full-bodied, deep and dense, but not heavy, with lots of forest fruit at the end. Rather unique. Sangiovese made first in stainle...(read more)

Broad and expressive on the nose - full of white blossom and warm straw - but so incredibly focused on the palate; the texture here is gorgeously weighty. Bright and vibrant, full of pithy lemon, peach, with a hint of ha...(read more)

A supple wine - Melted tannins with a balance of freshness and fruit. Light on the palate but a long finish. A very, very good Bordeaux.

A sumptuous and easy going Merlot, filled with southern French sunshine, sleek and glossy with cassis and dark chocolate, there are notes of violet, graphite and dark plum in the shapely framed palate.

Tim's Bugalug Shiraz is always such a cracker of a wine. Richly endowed with gorgeous blackberry and dark mint chocolate, Tim manages to strike a beautiful balance between flavour intensity and delicious freshness.

57% Pinot Noir, 28% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Meunier. Complex and rich but restrained too. Delicate mousse with an impressive lightness of touch, which comes partly from its being very dry, but it’s full flavoured in the mi...(read more)

Another delightful scented and supple red from Benoit Amirault. This cuvee plays up the floral aspect of Cabernet Franc, with violets to the fore. Some blue fruit, then blackcurrant, tobacco and mocha. Succulent and smoo...(read more)

Coffee grounds and fresh acidities that give a sense of momentum through the palate, this is well made and precise, with good balance. Recommended, from François and Guillaume Thienpont.

This is pure and classic Bordeaux. A delicious elegance delivers the crisp dark red berry fruit. Seasoned perfectly with lovely cedarwood notes and a sprinkle of clove spice. This is drinking brilliantly now - and tradit...(read more)

Another sensational release from Castagnoli, with more muscle and power in 2020 than the more delicate elegance of 2019. The hallmark freshness of Castagnoli does still shine through wonderfully. Detail and finesse are m...(read more)

Vanessa Cherruau is somewhat of a maverick - making this gorgeous red on the famed slopes of the Hill of Chaume - an appellation classified only to produce sweet white wines (Quarts de Chaume Grand Cru and Coteaux de Lay...(read more)

The Seguin wines are so easy going and deliver such drinking pleasure. This is textbook with gun-flint, gooseberry and freshly mown grass with an undercut of something a little more tropical. Supple and fresh in the mout...(read more)

*STAR BUY IN THE TIMES*. "Elegant, racy, very pale pink from the Les Diables stable with a tasty, cassis palate and zingy, garrigue herb finish." Jane MacQuitty.

Mainly the two Tourigas. Oak, some old. Correct but tastes as though it’s making way for more expensive blends. A bit sharp. 14%

Raspberries, blackberry, liquorice, herbs, violets. Nice grip and power in the mouth, deep dark fruit core, blackberry, plums, anise, chocolate, violets, blueberry, herbs. Great tannic grip, purely fruited, aromatic and...(read more)

2018 has produced some seriously lovely wines at many levels and this is one such example. Well endowed with cassis, plum and tobacco. In the mouth it has ripeness balanced by a lovely frame of fine tannins, notes of smo...(read more)

This wine originates on granitic soils in the municipality of Lantignié. Beaujolais is in such a sweet spot at the moment with a run of cracking vintages highlighting the exquisite value on offer. Domaine Rochette...(read more)

From just outside Lecce in the heart of Salento comes this cracking example of Primitivo. Bright and perky this has a fine zippy line that makes it not only food friendly but very moreish. Cherry skin and cooked damson a...(read more)

From a small family-run Domaine in the heart of Chenin Blanc territory, (Coteaux du Layon) this is a beautifully crafted Crémant de Loire. Traditionally made (bottle-fermented) sparkling wine which is vinified fro...(read more)

Wow. Every sip here is a thrill. The Latitude is a very dry blend of 100% Chardonnay from Vertus (this is in fact an extra-brut), elegant and pure flavours, making for an interesting contrast to the Egly-Ouriet style. Br...(read more)

70% 2017, with 30% reserve wines (20% 2015). This fine dry Blanc de Blancs keeps all the airiness of the classic Cote des Blanc villages (it's made from Oger and Avize), while having a rounded mid-palate thanks to the ge...(read more)

Tasted alongside the 2018, the 2019 Bourgueil Malgagnes is the more impressive of the pairing. It has greater power and concentration due to tiny yields (around 25hl/ha) and retains its red fruit character but with more...(read more)

100% Chardonnay from premier cru vineyards in Vertus, Oger, Avize and Cramant. Lightly clarified juice goes into wooden vats and casks. Spontaneous fermentation and natural malo. Wines are aged on lees, unfiltered and un...(read more)

Clean, luminous, refreshing and super-professional, this is a tremendous wine with uncommon value for money from a region where average bottles of wine seem to cost the earth!
