his really is a very elegant wine, with a definite nod to the great wines of Puligny-Montrachet from where it has emerged.

"...one that FVD's Esme Johnstone, à la sungazer, believes is richer and more profound than the 2020 incarnation and already very approachable."

A classic Pauillac expressed entirely through estate vineyard fruit and by the same winemaking team as châteaus grand vin label itself.

Another very pretty, expressive 2021 with pronounced blackberry and plum aromas and an underlying green-leaf freshness.

Expressive, vibrant nose with perfumed, floral notes enhancing blackberry, mulberry and plum aromas. Mint, mocha and exotic spice layers unfurl, leading to a rich, spicy, robustly structured palate.

Michel Guilleminot Blanc de Noirs comes from the very south of Champagne in the beautiful Vallee de l'Aube. A lovely single grower champagne made by the 4th generation Guilleminot family.

Pale gold in colour with citrus, toasted almonds and floral aromas. A full-bodied, creamy palate with nutty and lemon citrus notes. Good value and unmistakably serious white Burgundy.

Pale colour, with a lifted fresh apple and greengage nose. Bouncing energy, good acidity, faintest gunflint, but above all really appealing fruit.

Rosé champagne has a cachet and excitement about it, perhaps because it is rarer. The Guilleminot Rosé champagne made with their own Champenois pinot noir is a real treat.

Chablis, especially 1er cru Chablis, is a ‘must buy‘ in what has been the greatest Burgundy vintage for some time.

Jancis Robinson, author and FT wine critic, has written "Nyetimber really is the Krug of England. Or should we say Krug is the Nyetimber of Champagne?"

From below Nuits, aged in older barrels. Incredibly concentrated purple despite 30% whole bunch. This Bourgogne has a powerful bouquet of dark raspberry fruit, but not heavy and not over ...

"The best vines in the vineyard have produced a sensational, crimson, light, brambly red wine with a hint of raspberry and silky tannins."

A superb cuvée blended with a majority of fruit from the Durots vineyard in Volnay, this showcases lifted aromatics, crunchy red fruit and a mouthwatering spine of acidity.

Taken from the estates best plots and aged on its lees for five years. This prestige Blanc de Noirs will challenge many of the Grandes Marques on everything but price. ...

One of the great new generations of small growers in Burgundy. Here, nectarine, honey and butterscotch notes leap forth with a notably lifted vibrancy and zing.

"...look no further than the Champagne Arlaux 1er Cru Grande Cuvée Brut NV. It really is astoundingly fine, all baked apple, honey and toast with the finest of mousses..."

Elegant, delicate and fresh, it works particularly well with richer foods.
