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.

"...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.

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.

 "It's elegant, fresh and fragrant, with a hint of grapefruit and exotic spices. Exquisitely delicious and remarkable value for an English sparkling rosé."

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

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. ...

Classic Pauillac power and elegance in a fabulous 2016 vintage now coming into its own. Ripe blackberry, sage, rich cedar, earthy notes, firm tannins, solidly structure but still light on ...

"...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..."

Delicately aromatic with citrus, blossom and white peach notes alongside honeysuckle. The palate is fresh with apple and peach fruit, notes of hazelnut and a long, persistent finish.

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?"

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

Warm, buttered brioche character beautifully balanced by a citrus zing of acidity.

A fine expression of Cabernet Sauvignon grown in Chianti Classico area of production. The unmistakable salinity and minerality of the terroir showing beautifully. A must try for cab sav fans. ...

On the palate a creamy, round texture, with refreshing redcurrant, raspberry and cherry flavours enhanced by notes of brioche and leading to an elegant, silky, invigorating finish.

What does this one tastes like? Glorious! Dark, rich, juicy, mouthfilling with a beautifully-judged, delicately grippy structure.
