Agrapart Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Terroirs Grand Cru NV (6x75cl) Inc. VAT: £404.17
NV	Agrapart Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Terroirs Grand Cru NV (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (94) Agraparts’ NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Terroirs F13 is – as usual for this cuvee – sourced roughly half-each from two vintages (here, complementary 2009 and 2008); grown entirely in Avize, Cramant, Oger and Oiry; vinified roughly one-quarter in demi-muid; and aged one year longer sur latte than their “7 Crus.” Effusively sweet and musky floral perfume suggesting heliotrope, narcissus, and lily-of-the-valley along with sourdough-like, pungent yeastiness and malted grain are allied in the nose to intimations of chalk dust, sea breeze and white peach. Lusciously juicy, fresh white peach and grapefruit are threaded on the polished palate with piquant peach kernel, pungent suggestions of sprouting grains, chalk, and salt. The sense of tension and vivacity here managing to harmonize with textural richness and caress is quite remarkable, especially considering that we’re only on the second rung of Agrapart’s portfolio. The finish engages imagination, salivary glands, and olfactors in equally strong measure, a suggestion of chewing peach fuzz and germinating sprouts compounding the sheer invigoration conveyed by this sensational value. (And bear in mind that this tasting note was made from a bottle that had only been disgorged a week before!) Plan to follow it for at least 4-5 years. Pascal and Fabrice Agrapart farm 24 acres morsellated into more than 60 parcels the length of the Cote des Blancs, overwhelmingly planted with selections massales (principally of the family’s own, generations-long devising) rather than clones. Viticulture is clearly a meticulous concern, and while this estate doesn’t subscribe to any labels, it has a lot in common – including absence of herbicides or pesticides; generally minimalist cellar protocol; manual- and in some instances horse-plowing – with soil-conscious growers of officially organic or biodynamic persuasion. “It’s in warm, dry vintages with low acidity that you most see the effect of working the soil and making the roots go deep,” opines Pascal Agrapart, adding “I recently had a wonderful experience with a 1976 that was still full of vivacity.” Vinification is majority in tank for the two least expensive bottlings, but otherwise in old demi-muids in which primary fermentation is spontaneous and generally leisurely, with malo-lactic conversion initiated via a vinous starter to insure steady completion. Agrapart’s 2012 vins clairs and 2011 reserves, incidentally – wine isn’t assembled and bottled here until the end of the summer – were delightful and fascinating when tasted from barrel this June. There was noteworthy clarity, vibrancy and complexity to every wine I tasted here in June and thereafter, so it would have broken my heart not to be able to report on the non-vintage wines, but to do so, I must confess I’m walking close to the line of the conventions I established for my reports, because neither disgorgement dates nor lots are actually indicated on the label or bottle here, but rather on the top of the cork, with the months assigned consecutive capital letters, followed by the last two digits of the year in which the wine was disgorged. This means you’ll either need to buy and remove the cage from the first bottle or get some cooperation from your merchant if you want to know when the wine was disgorged (and as at other addresses, this won’t always be a reliable indicator as to the base wines in question, because Agraparts disgorge their “7 Crus” and “Terroirs” bottlings monthly). 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Champagne	6x75cl	1	94 (WA) Read Review/Description	Inc.

Agrapart Les 7 Crus Brut NV (6x75cl) Inc. VAT: £332.58
NV	Agrapart Les 7 Crus Brut NV (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (93) Based on the 2019 vintage and disgorged in April 2022, Agrapart's NV Brut 7 Crus wafts from the glass with scents of crisp green apple, freshly baked bread, white flowers and buttery pastry. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, it's an ample, incisive wine, with racy acids and a saline finish. When the range begins like this, you know you're in the presence of one of Champagne's greatest producers. 2 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Champagne	6x75cl	2	93 (WA) Read Review/Description	Inc.

Agrapart Mineral Extra Brut Grand Cru 2012 (6x75cl) Inc. VAT: £1,062.18
2012	Agrapart Mineral Extra Brut Grand Cru 2012 (6x75cl) Vinous (95) The 2012 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Minéral is superb. Powerful and ample in the glass, the Minéral is both broad on the palate and also somehow incredibly refined in feel, an appealing combination to be sure. There is so much to admire in the 2012, including its exceptional sense of total harmony. Dried flowers, almond, mint and dried apricot are all nicely layered in the glass, but again, it is the wine's poise that is truly mesmerizing. The Minéral is a blend of old-vine fruit taken from sites in Avize (Les Champboutons) and Cramant (Les Bionnes). Dosage is 5 grams per liter. Disgorged: May 2018. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Champagne	6x75cl	1	95 (VN) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £1,062.18
Agrapart Mineral Extra Brut Grand Cru 2013 (6x75cl) Inc. VAT: £686.58
2013	Agrapart Mineral Extra Brut Grand Cru 2013 (6x75cl) Vinous (94) The 2013 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Minéral is powerful, ample and generous. All of the natural richness of 2013 comes through in this striking, layered exquisitely beautiful Champagne that melds together the essence of top sites in Avize (Les Champboutons) and Cramant (Les Bionnes). Dried citrus, lemon oil, almond and savory herbs add striking shades of nuance throughout, but what is most remarkable about the Minéral is the interplay of textural richness and energy. A Champagne of total seduction, the 2013 simply has it all. Dosage: 5 gr/L. Disgorged: May, 2019. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Champagne	6x75cl	1	94 (VN) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £686.58
Agrapart Mineral Extra Brut Grand Cru 2014 (6x75cl) Inc. VAT: £650.58
2014	Agrapart Mineral Extra Brut Grand Cru 2014 (6x75cl) Vinous (94) The 2014 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Minéral is a powerful, intense Champagne that captures all of the natural power of these old vines in Avize and Cramant. Aptly named, the Minéral is infused with tremendous mineral and soil inflections that give a real feeling of gravitas. Crushed rocks, slate, chalk and citrus accents are some of the many nuances that emerge with a bit of time in the glass. This release is fabulous. It is also a reticent wine, though, so at least a year or two in bottle will help soften. Dosage is 3 grams per liter. Disgorged: April, 2020. 2 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Champagne	6x75cl	2	94 (VN) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £650.58
Agrapart Venus Brut Nature Grand Cru 2013 (6x75cl) Inc. VAT: £1,460.58
2013	Agrapart Venus Brut Nature Grand Cru 2013 (6x75cl) Vinous (96) The 2013 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Vénus is a gorgeous and eccentric wine. Sweet floral and minty overtones give the Vénus its distinctive high-toned profile. The richness and depth of this Chardonnay from a parcel planted in 1959 that has always been manually farmed, comes alive with a bit of time in the glass. The Vénus is such a special Champagne, as it is elusive and constantly changing in the glass as it shows a different side of its personality with each taste. I very much admire the sense of precision here. Vénus remains one of the most distinctive wines in all of Champagne. No dosage. Disgorged: May, 2019. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Champagne	6x75cl	1	96 (VN) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £1,460.58

2015	Agrapart Venus Brut Nature Grand Cru 2015 (6x75cl) Vinous (95) The 2015 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Vénus Grand Cru is sublime. Lemon confit, menthol, dried herbs and white pepper all meld together in the glass. More of a wine than Champagne, the Vénus is creamy and open-knit, with lovely freshness and plenty of character. No dosage. Disgorged: May, 2021. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Champagne	6x75cl	1	95 (VN) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £1,160.58
Aile d'Argent 2017 (6x75cl) Inc. VAT: £786.47
2017	Aile d'Argent 2017 (6x75cl) James Suckling (95-96) The impressive ripeness and intensity combined with elegance and finesse are what make this wonderful white. Honeysuckle, apricots, glazed grapefruit, spices and nutmeg. Medium to full body and fleshy fruit that’s lifted by the delicious acidity to the long finish. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Bordeaux	6x75cl	1	95-96 (JS) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £786.47

2020	Aix Coteaux d'Aix en Provence Rose 2020 (6x75cl) Vinous (90) Pale, shimmering orange. Bright and focused on the nose, displaying fresh red berry, nectarine and orange zest aromas, with floral and mineral overtones. Strawberry and nectarine flavors show good depth and a bracing jolt of juicy acidity. The floral note repeats on the lively finish, which lingers with very good tenacity. - Josh Raynolds 2 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Provence	6x75cl	2	90 (VN) Read Review/Description	Inc.

2018	Alain Burguet Gevrey-Chambertin Symphonie 2018 (12x75cl) Vinous (90-92) The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin "Symphonie" (tasted with classical piano tinkling away on the radio as I sat in their office!) has a delightful red cherry and bergamot bouquet that unfolds seductively in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Very harmonious on the finish, which feels caressing. This comes highly recommended. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Burgundy	12x75cl	1	90-92 (VN) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £765.34

2019	Alain Chavy Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatieres 2019 (6x75cl) Vinous (92-94) The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru has a cool as a cucumber nose, Zen-like, opening reluctantly to reveal scents of wet limestone, flint and a touch of chalk. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, harmonious and focused with orange zest towards the effervescent finish that lingers in the mouth. One of Chavy’s best offerings this year - excellent. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Burgundy	6x75cl	1	92-94 (VN) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £499.67
Alain Voge Cornas VV 2016 (6x75cl) Inc. VAT: £374.87
2016	Alain Voge Cornas VV 2016 (6x75cl) Jeb Dunnuck (93-95) Voge's old vine cuvée, the 2016 Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes is a head turner that balances loads of clean, classic Syrah fruit with the textbook pepper, mineral and garrigue character that's the hallmark of the appellation. Full-bodied, elegant and balanced, with present yet fine tannin, it's going to be accessible in its youth, yet cruise for 10-15 years given its balance. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Rhone	6x75cl	1	93-95 (JD) Read Review/Description	Inc.

Alain Voge Cornas VV 2017 (6x75cl) Inc. VAT: £568.07
2017	Alain Voge Cornas VV 2017 (6x75cl) Decanter (96) Vines with an average age of 60 years from lieux-dits Combe, Patou, La Côte, Les Mazards and Chaillot provide the fruit for this Cornas. It spends 20 months in barriques, around 20% new. There are multiple layers to the aromatic palate: rosemary, thyme, herbal bitters, blackberry, blackcurrant and loganberry. A medium-bodied, concentrated but unforced wine with no excessive extraction, a subtly spiced finish and sinewy, brushed tannins. Detailed, focussed, structured and textural, this is captivating and true to its terroir. 2 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Rhone	6x75cl	2	96 (DC) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £568.07

2017	Alary Cairanne Rouge L’Estévenas 2017 (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (95) The 2017 Cairanne L'Estevenas has indeed turned out to be super. A 50-50 blend of Grenache and Syrah, it shows more of the Syrah side at the moment, with floral notes, peppery spice, black olives and licorice all making appearances on the nose. It's medium to full-bodied, with a supple, creamy feel and a rich, chewy finish. Impressive! Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Rhone	6x75cl	1	95 (WA) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £310.07

2017	Alberelli di Giodo Nerello Mascalese 2017 (6x75cl) James Suckling (95) A strong and dense Etna red with plums, dark berries, orange peel and lemons on the nose and palate. Full-bodied. Layered and flavorful. Juicy fruit. Needs time to open, but great potential from these ancient vines. Better in 2021. 4 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Sicily	6x75cl	4	95 (JS) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £324.47

2015	Albert Bichot Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Chabiots 2015 (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (90-92) The 2015 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru les Chabiots has an attractive nose marked by scents of morello cherry, wet limestone and almost Alpine-fresh aromas. There is something airy about the aromatics here. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, cohesive in the mouth with fine structure on the finish that maintains commendable precision. This will be well worth investigating once in bottle - one of Bichot's more sophisticated offerings in this vintage. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Burgundy	6x75cl	1	90-92 (WA) Read Review/Description	Inc.

2016	Albert Bichot Clos-de-la-Roche Grand Cru 2016 (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (91-93) The 2016 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru was picked on 28 September, includes 30% whole bunch fruit and matured in 40% new oak. It has a clean, fresh and vibrant bouquet with red cherry, cranberry leaf and fine mineralité coming through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, impressive depth, quite saline in the mouth with a pinch of spice/black pepper toward the finish. This is a well-crafted Clos de la Roche that should age with style. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Burgundy	6x75cl	1	91-93 (WA) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £1,168.07

2019	Albert Bichot Domaine Long-Depaquit Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 2019 (6x75cl) Vinous (92) The 2019 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a crisp, focused bouquet, still quite backward, featuring citrus lemon, lime zest, crushed rock and a very light smoky note. The palate is more impressive, displaying fine concentration. This Les Clos is slightly waxy in texture with a brisk, quite spicy finish that lingers in the mouth. Very fine. 4 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Burgundy	6x75cl	4	92 (VN) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £463.67

2016	Albert Bichot Domaine Long-Depaquit Chablis Grand Cru Moutonne 2016 (6x75cl) Vinous (91-93) Fuller cloudy medium yellow. Reticent nose hints at lemon, orange and anise, with an element of minerality providing lift. The broadest and richest of these young 2016s but not yet filled in, with yellow fruit and citrus zest flavors complicated by a sexy element of spicy oak. The tangy finish features a touch of youthful bitterness but spreads out nicely on the back end. This more serious grand cru will need time. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Burgundy	6x75cl	1	91-93 (VN) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £962.87

2019	Albert Bichot Domaine Long-Depaquit Chablis Grand Cru Moutonne 2019 (6x75cl) Decanter (95) Moutonne is one of Chablis' finest expressions and the 2019 will be another in a long list of memorable vintages. Although not the final bottling, it is clear that there is great power here, combined with finesse and a lightness on its feet. Savoury, umami, notes on the finish. Wood is a little evident now but will integrate beautifully once in bottle for 6-12 months. A lovely example, both powerful and restrained. 2 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Burgundy	6x75cl	2	95 (DC) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £896.87

2016	Alberto Burzi Barolo Capalot Vecchie Viti 2016 (6x75cl) Vinous (92) The 2016 Barolo Capalot Vecchie Viti is dark, beguiling and very pretty. Rose petal, orange peel, cinnamon, kirsch, sweet red cherry and sweet pipe tobacco give the Capalot striking aromatic nuance and a real sense of exoticism that is quite inviting. Medium in body and constantly changing in the glass, the Capalot captures all of the complexities that make Nebbiolo and Barolo so fascinating. The tannins need time to soften, but there is plenty to look forward to once that happens. 24 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Piedmont	6x75cl	24	92 (VN) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £400.07

Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia 2014 (6x75cl) Inc. VAT: £379.67
2014	Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia 2014 (6x75cl) James Suckling (93) On the nose this may not be a dramatic wine, but it's fresh and floral. It has a quiet confidence that is missing in many of the 2014 Barolos. On the palate, the turbocharger kicks in. The wine's impressive tannic power leaves most of the competition behind it, but there's real finesse at the long finish. Drink after 2020. 3 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Piedmont	6x75cl	3	93 (JS) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £379.67

2013	Aldo Conterno Barolo Cicala 2013 (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (95) The 2013 Barolo Bussia Cicala is a beautiful wine with impressive depth and a profound sense of sharpness. This part of the Bussia cru sees a mix of clay soils (40%) with limestone (60%). In a sense, Cicala is the most indicative of the greater Bussia cru both in terms of its geological properties and its general taste profile. You get a lot of fruit in this wine followed by tannic firmness and evident power. Together, the wine presents balanced results. The alcohol here is 14.5% and I'm told that the upcoming 2016 vintage is almost a full degree stronger. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Piedmont	6x75cl	1	95 (WA) Read Review/Description	Inc.

2014	Aldo Conterno Barolo Colonnello 2014 (6x75cl) Vinous (92) The 2014 Barolo Colonnello is dark and inward. Succulent black cherry, smoke, leather, licorice, menthol and dark spice all run through this unctuous, super-concentrated Barolo. In most vintages, the Colonnello is a bit more aromatic and light on its feet, while the 2014 is a decidedly rich, heady wine, and yet all the elements are in the right place. 5 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Piedmont	6x75cl	5	92 (VN) Read Review/Description	Inc.

Aged 20 months in 70% new French oak and put together by Philippe Melka and Michel Rolland, it has an incredibly pure, full-bodied, massive yet weightless style that I suspect couldn’t be achieved anywhere outside of Napa Valley. Cassis, blackberries, leafy herbs, lead pencil shavings, and tobacco leaf are just some of the nuances here, and it’s full-bodied, deep, and concentrated on the palate while maintaining an ethereal, seamless, utterly perfect balance between its fruit, alcohol, tannins, and acidity. As good as it gets, it needs just 2-4 years in the cellar and will evolve gracefully for at least 20-25 years. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	California	3x75cl	1	100 (JD) Read Review/Description	Inc.

Agrapart Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Terroirs Grand Cru NV (6x75cl) In Bond: £319.66
NV	Agrapart Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Terroirs Grand Cru NV (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (94) Agraparts’ NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Terroirs F13 is – as usual for this cuvee – sourced roughly half-each from two vintages (here, complementary 2009 and 2008); grown entirely in Avize, Cramant, Oger and Oiry; vinified roughly one-quarter in demi-muid; and aged one year longer sur latte than their “7 Crus.” Effusively sweet and musky floral perfume suggesting heliotrope, narcissus, and lily-of-the-valley along with sourdough-like, pungent yeastiness and malted grain are allied in the nose to intimations of chalk dust, sea breeze and white peach. Lusciously juicy, fresh white peach and grapefruit are threaded on the polished palate with piquant peach kernel, pungent suggestions of sprouting grains, chalk, and salt. The sense of tension and vivacity here managing to harmonize with textural richness and caress is quite remarkable, especially considering that we’re only on the second rung of Agrapart’s portfolio. The finish engages imagination, salivary glands, and olfactors in equally strong measure, a suggestion of chewing peach fuzz and germinating sprouts compounding the sheer invigoration conveyed by this sensational value.

2012	Agrapart Mineral Extra Brut Grand Cru 2012 (6x75cl) Vinous (95) The 2012 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Minéral is superb. Powerful and ample in the glass, the Minéral is both broad on the palate and also somehow incredibly refined in feel, an appealing combination to be sure. There is so much to admire in the 2012, including its exceptional sense of total harmony. Dried flowers, almond, mint and dried apricot are all nicely layered in the glass, but again, it is the wine's poise that is truly mesmerizing. The Minéral is a blend of old-vine fruit taken from sites in Avize (Les Champboutons) and Cramant (Les Bionnes). Dosage is 5 grams per liter. Disgorged: May 2018. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Champagne	6x75cl	1	95 (VN) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £868.00
Agrapart Mineral Extra Brut Grand Cru 2013 (6x75cl) In Bond: £555.00
2013	Agrapart Mineral Extra Brut Grand Cru 2013 (6x75cl) Vinous (94) The 2013 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Minéral is powerful, ample and generous. All of the natural richness of 2013 comes through in this striking, layered exquisitely beautiful Champagne that melds together the essence of top sites in Avize (Les Champboutons) and Cramant (Les Bionnes). Dried citrus, lemon oil, almond and savory herbs add striking shades of nuance throughout, but what is most remarkable about the Minéral is the interplay of textural richness and energy. A Champagne of total seduction, the 2013 simply has it all. Dosage: 5 gr/L. Disgorged: May, 2019. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Champagne	6x75cl	1	94 (VN) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £555.00
Agrapart Mineral Extra Brut Grand Cru 2014 (6x75cl) In Bond: £525.00
2014	Agrapart Mineral Extra Brut Grand Cru 2014 (6x75cl) Vinous (94) The 2014 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Minéral is a powerful, intense Champagne that captures all of the natural power of these old vines in Avize and Cramant. Aptly named, the Minéral is infused with tremendous mineral and soil inflections that give a real feeling of gravitas. Crushed rocks, slate, chalk and citrus accents are some of the many nuances that emerge with a bit of time in the glass. This release is fabulous. It is also a reticent wine, though, so at least a year or two in bottle will help soften. Dosage is 3 grams per liter. Disgorged: April, 2020. 2 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Champagne	6x75cl	2	94 (VN) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £525.00
Agrapart Venus Brut Nature Grand Cru 2013 (6x75cl) In Bond: £1,200.00
2013	Agrapart Venus Brut Nature Grand Cru 2013 (6x75cl) Vinous (96) The 2013 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Vénus is a gorgeous and eccentric wine. Sweet floral and minty overtones give the Vénus its distinctive high-toned profile. The richness and depth of this Chardonnay from a parcel planted in 1959 that has always been manually farmed, comes alive with a bit of time in the glass. The Vénus is such a special Champagne, as it is elusive and constantly changing in the glass as it shows a different side of its personality with each taste. I very much admire the sense of precision here. Vénus remains one of the most distinctive wines in all of Champagne. No dosage.

2015	Agrapart Venus Brut Nature Grand Cru 2015 (6x75cl) Vinous (95) The 2015 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Vénus Grand Cru is sublime. Lemon confit, menthol, dried herbs and white pepper all meld together in the glass. More of a wine than Champagne, the Vénus is creamy and open-knit, with lovely freshness and plenty of character. No dosage. Disgorged: May, 2021. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Champagne	6x75cl	1	95 (VN) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £950.00
Aile d'Argent 2017 (6x75cl) In Bond: £642.00
2017	Aile d'Argent 2017 (6x75cl) James Suckling (95-96) The impressive ripeness and intensity combined with elegance and finesse are what make this wonderful white. Honeysuckle, apricots, glazed grapefruit, spices and nutmeg. Medium to full body and fleshy fruit that’s lifted by the delicious acidity to the long finish. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Bordeaux	6x75cl	1	95-96 (JS) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £642.00

2020	Aix Coteaux d'Aix en Provence Rose 2020 (6x75cl) Vinous (90) Pale, shimmering orange. Bright and focused on the nose, displaying fresh red berry, nectarine and orange zest aromas, with floral and mineral overtones. Strawberry and nectarine flavors show good depth and a bracing jolt of juicy acidity. The floral note repeats on the lively finish, which lingers with very good tenacity. - Josh Raynolds 2 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Provence	6x75cl	2	90 (VN) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £169.00
Alain Burguet Gevrey-Chambertin Symphonie 2018 (12x75cl) In Bond: £611.00
2018	Alain Burguet Gevrey-Chambertin Symphonie 2018 (12x75cl) Vinous (90-92) The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin "Symphonie" (tasted with classical piano tinkling away on the radio as I sat in their office!) has a delightful red cherry and bergamot bouquet that unfolds seductively in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Very harmonious on the finish, which feels caressing. This comes highly recommended. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Burgundy	12x75cl	1	90-92 (VN) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £611.00

2019	Alain Chavy Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatieres 2019 (6x75cl) Vinous (92-94) The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru has a cool as a cucumber nose, Zen-like, opening reluctantly to reveal scents of wet limestone, flint and a touch of chalk. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, harmonious and focused with orange zest towards the effervescent finish that lingers in the mouth. One of Chavy’s best offerings this year - excellent. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Burgundy	6x75cl	1	92-94 (VN) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £403.00
Alain Voge Cornas VV 2016 (6x75cl) In Bond: £299.00
2016	Alain Voge Cornas VV 2016 (6x75cl) Jeb Dunnuck (93-95) Voge's old vine cuvée, the 2016 Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes is a head turner that balances loads of clean, classic Syrah fruit with the textbook pepper, mineral and garrigue character that's the hallmark of the appellation. Full-bodied, elegant and balanced, with present yet fine tannin, it's going to be accessible in its youth, yet cruise for 10-15 years given its balance. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Rhone	6x75cl	1	93-95 (JD) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £299.00
Alain Voge Cornas VV 2017 (6x75cl) In Bond: £460.00
2017	Alain Voge Cornas VV 2017 (6x75cl) Decanter (96) Vines with an average age of 60 years from lieux-dits Combe, Patou, La Côte, Les Mazards and Chaillot provide the fruit for this Cornas. It spends 20 months in barriques, around 20% new. There are multiple layers to the aromatic palate: rosemary, thyme, herbal bitters, blackberry, blackcurrant and loganberry. A medium-bodied, concentrated but unforced wine with no excessive extraction, a subtly spiced finish and sinewy, brushed tannins. Detailed, focussed, structured and textural, this is captivating and true to its terroir. 2 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Rhone	6x75cl	2	96 (DC) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £460.00

2017	Alary Cairanne Rouge L’Estévenas 2017 (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (95) The 2017 Cairanne L'Estevenas has indeed turned out to be super. A 50-50 blend of Grenache and Syrah, it shows more of the Syrah side at the moment, with floral notes, peppery spice, black olives and licorice all making appearances on the nose. It's medium to full-bodied, with a supple, creamy feel and a rich, chewy finish. Impressive! Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Rhone	6x75cl	1	95 (WA) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £245.00

2017	Alberelli di Giodo Nerello Mascalese 2017 (6x75cl) James Suckling (95) A strong and dense Etna red with plums, dark berries, orange peel and lemons on the nose and palate. Full-bodied. Layered and flavorful. Juicy fruit. Needs time to open, but great potential from these ancient vines. Better in 2021. 4 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Sicily	6x75cl	4	95 (JS) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £257.00

2015	Albert Bichot Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Chabiots 2015 (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (90-92) The 2015 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru les Chabiots has an attractive nose marked by scents of morello cherry, wet limestone and almost Alpine-fresh aromas. There is something airy about the aromatics here. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, cohesive in the mouth with fine structure on the finish that maintains commendable precision. This will be well worth investigating once in bottle - one of Bichot's more sophisticated offerings in this vintage. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Burgundy	6x75cl	1	90-92 (WA) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £917.00
Albert Bichot Clos-de-la-Roche Grand Cru 2016 (6x75cl) In Bond: £960.00
2016	Albert Bichot Clos-de-la-Roche Grand Cru 2016 (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (91-93) The 2016 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru was picked on 28 September, includes 30% whole bunch fruit and matured in 40% new oak. It has a clean, fresh and vibrant bouquet with red cherry, cranberry leaf and fine mineralité coming through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, impressive depth, quite saline in the mouth with a pinch of spice/black pepper toward the finish. This is a well-crafted Clos de la Roche that should age with style. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Burgundy	6x75cl	1	91-93 (WA) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £960.00

2019	Albert Bichot Domaine Long-Depaquit Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 2019 (6x75cl) Vinous (92) The 2019 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a crisp, focused bouquet, still quite backward, featuring citrus lemon, lime zest, crushed rock and a very light smoky note. The palate is more impressive, displaying fine concentration. This Les Clos is slightly waxy in texture with a brisk, quite spicy finish that lingers in the mouth. Very fine. 4 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Burgundy	6x75cl	4	92 (VN) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £373.00

2016	Albert Bichot Domaine Long-Depaquit Chablis Grand Cru Moutonne 2016 (6x75cl) Vinous (91-93) Fuller cloudy medium yellow. Reticent nose hints at lemon, orange and anise, with an element of minerality providing lift. The broadest and richest of these young 2016s but not yet filled in, with yellow fruit and citrus zest flavors complicated by a sexy element of spicy oak. The tangy finish features a touch of youthful bitterness but spreads out nicely on the back end. This more serious grand cru will need time. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Burgundy	6x75cl	1	91-93 (VN) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £789.00
Albert Bichot Domaine Long-Depaquit Chablis Grand Cru Moutonne 2019 (6x75cl) In Bond: £734.00
2019	Albert Bichot Domaine Long-Depaquit Chablis Grand Cru Moutonne 2019 (6x75cl) Decanter (95) Moutonne is one of Chablis' finest expressions and the 2019 will be another in a long list of memorable vintages. Although not the final bottling, it is clear that there is great power here, combined with finesse and a lightness on its feet. Savoury, umami, notes on the finish. Wood is a little evident now but will integrate beautifully once in bottle for 6-12 months. A lovely example, both powerful and restrained. 2 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Burgundy	6x75cl	2	95 (DC) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £734.00
Alberto Burzi Barolo Capalot Vecchie Viti 2016 (6x75cl) In Bond: £320.00
2016	Alberto Burzi Barolo Capalot Vecchie Viti 2016 (6x75cl) Vinous (92) The 2016 Barolo Capalot Vecchie Viti is dark, beguiling and very pretty. Rose petal, orange peel, cinnamon, kirsch, sweet red cherry and sweet pipe tobacco give the Capalot striking aromatic nuance and a real sense of exoticism that is quite inviting. Medium in body and constantly changing in the glass, the Capalot captures all of the complexities that make Nebbiolo and Barolo so fascinating. The tannins need time to soften, but there is plenty to look forward to once that happens. 24 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Piedmont	6x75cl	24	92 (VN) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £320.00

Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia 2014 (6x75cl) In Bond: £303.00
2014	Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia 2014 (6x75cl) James Suckling (93) On the nose this may not be a dramatic wine, but it's fresh and floral. It has a quiet confidence that is missing in many of the 2014 Barolos. On the palate, the turbocharger kicks in. The wine's impressive tannic power leaves most of the competition behind it, but there's real finesse at the long finish. Drink after 2020. 3 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Piedmont	6x75cl	3	93 (JS) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £303.00

Aldo Conterno Barolo Cicala 2013 (6x75cl) In Bond: £530.00
2013	Aldo Conterno Barolo Cicala 2013 (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (95) The 2013 Barolo Bussia Cicala is a beautiful wine with impressive depth and a profound sense of sharpness. This part of the Bussia cru sees a mix of clay soils (40%) with limestone (60%). In a sense, Cicala is the most indicative of the greater Bussia cru both in terms of its geological properties and its general taste profile. You get a lot of fruit in this wine followed by tannic firmness and evident power. Together, the wine presents balanced results. The alcohol here is 14.5% and I'm told that the upcoming 2016 vintage is almost a full degree stronger. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Piedmont	6x75cl	1	95 (WA) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £530.00

Aldo Conterno Barolo Colonnello 2014 (6x75cl) In Bond: £630.00
2014	Aldo Conterno Barolo Colonnello 2014 (6x75cl) Vinous (92) The 2014 Barolo Colonnello is dark and inward. Succulent black cherry, smoke, leather, licorice, menthol and dark spice all run through this unctuous, super-concentrated Barolo. In most vintages, the Colonnello is a bit more aromatic and light on its feet, while the 2014 is a decidedly rich, heady wine, and yet all the elements are in the right place. 5 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Piedmont	6x75cl	5	92 (VN) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £630.00

Alejandro Bulgheroni Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 (3x75cl) In Bond: £890.00
2019	Alejandro Bulgheroni Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 (3x75cl) Jeb Dunnuck (100) Pure perfection in Cabernet, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Alejandro Bulgheroni is all varietal and comes two-thirds from Oakville with the balance from sites in St. Helena and Rutherford. Aged 20 months in 70% new French oak and put together by Philippe Melka and Michel Rolland, it has an incredibly pure, full-bodied, massive yet weightless style that I suspect couldn’t be achieved anywhere outside of Napa Valley. Cassis, blackberries, leafy herbs, lead pencil shavings, and tobacco leaf are just some of the nuances here, and it’s full-bodied, deep, and concentrated on the palate while maintaining an ethereal, seamless, utterly perfect balance between its fruit, alcohol, tannins, and acidity. As good as it gets, it needs just 2-4 years in the cellar and will evolve gracefully for at least 20-25 years. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	California	3x75cl	1	100 (JD) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £890.00
