Magnums of wine

"...a resolutely Right Bank blend of 90 per cent Merlot/10 per cent Cabernet Franc despite coming from the Haut-Médoc..."

"The Sumeire family have been making wine here for 800 years so it's fair to say they know what they're doing..."

From their glorious 200-acre estate just SE of Bordeaux, a refreshing, classic blend of (mostly) sauvignon blanc/sémillon that is crisp, fruity and alarmingly easy to drink.

Alessandra Casini Bindi Sergardi's Achille is a lovely fruit-led sangiovese from her estate outside Siena.

As rich, generous and rewarding as one would expect from Hubert de Bouard of Ch. Angélus fame and former Cheval Blanc legend Dominique. A cuvée of serious pedigree.

From one of the most creative of new generation Piedmont winegrowers comes a Barbera d'Alba of exceptional finesse and elegance. Structured, bold, expressive - delicious.

A barrel-aged syrah, bursting with ripe bramble fruit. Deep ruby in colour, with a pronounced aroma - perfumed blackberry fruit at first, with flavours of opulent spice and roasted coffee.

Another fine vintage for Andrew McIness’s Ramafort, the 2016 takes the ripeness and expression of the excellent 2015 and adds a nudge more structure and texture.

Marlborough in mind and body, but Burgundian in spirit. 15 months spent in new and second fill French oak barrels.

A delicious Beaujolais made by the Loron family from hand-picked 100% gamay grapes at the lovely 18thC Château de Fleurie. The 2019 vintage achieved had a coup de Coeur.

Lovely ruby red sheen, real purity and freshness. Aromas of red berry fruit, plum and raspberry, notes of coffee and tobacco, a touch of truffle perhaps and herbaceous element on ...

The biggest, and most structured wine in the Clayvin portfolio, the syrah requires a little time, but has enormous potential. Powerful, dark and intense with a noticeable pepper and spice ...

A fine expression of Sangiovese. Intense bright red fruit with perfectly judged oak gives a lovely polished character. Enjoy with red meat or traditional Tuscan dishes.

The palate follows the nose with ripe, crisp orchard fruit, poached pear and apple leading the charge with a smooth creaminess to the lengthy, dry finish, which is punctuated with ...

A fine blend of chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier with delicate fizz and a light creamy finish. Why pay a lot more for Moët & friends?!

From the Côte Chalonnaise and what is one of Burgundy's asceding regions thanks to warmer weather and a community of great new winemakers.

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.

A mouth-watering 100% Pinot Noir rosé aged for three years on its lees before being released to enhance its flavour. Dry, crisp and scrumptious.

Beautifully matured and with six years in the making, is at its perfect peak of maturity and will continue to develop.

"Medium-bodied with nice vibrancy and freshness, it offers approachable tannins with a lift to the finish."
