Vinous (93)
The 2016 Barolo Cerretta is gorgeous. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, flowers and white pepper give this aromatic, mid-weight Barolo a real feeling of finesse that also comes through in the silky red berry fruit flavors. There is just enough grip to give the mid-palate and finish energy, but overall this is a relatively approachable Barolo that will drink well with minimal cellaring.Inc. VAT£370.40 -
Wine Enthusiast (96)
Aromas of menthol, dark spice and rose form the enticing nose. Showing its Serralunga pedigree, the palate is youthfully austere but incredibly refined, delivering ripe raspberry, Morello cherry and licorice along with hints of coffee bean and hazelnut. A backbone of fine-grained tannins provides firm support. Drink now–2047.Inc. VAT£327.23 -

A dense, powerful wine, the 2012 Barolo Prapò shows plenty of Serralunga muscle. Iron, smoke, licorice, herbs and a host of savory notes underpin a core of intense dark red stone fruit. The 2012 exudes virile intensity from start to finish.Inc. VAT£393.89 -
Vinous (93)
Germano's 2013 Barolo Prapò is an ample, broad-shouldered Barolo with plenty of Serralunga power and grip. Sweet red cherry, plum, menthol and licorice flesh out in the glass. Even with all of its obvious intensity, the 2013 has a good bit of aromatic lift that adds brightness. The 2013 spent around 45 days on the skins and was aged in medium-sized casks. It should be approachable with just a few years in bottle.Inc. VAT£396.29 -

Vinous (94)
The 2016 Barolo Prapò captures all of the wild, unrestrained character that is so typical of wines from this district of Serralunga. Dried herbs, menthol, underbrush, licorice, pine, cloves and incense play off a core of dark fruit. Virile and imposing, with plenty of clout, the 2016 is super-impressive in the early going.Inc.

The 2011 Barolo Serralunga is a little bit richer and more textured than the 2010, with silky tannins and lovely overall balance. Lifted, perfumed and supple, the 2011 should be approachable upon release. This is a very sexy, racy entry-level Barolo from Sergio Germano.Inc. VAT£225.85 -

Sergio Germano’s 2016 Barolo del Commune di Serralunga d’Alba is soft and fruity yet classically leaning in build, which makes it extremely appealing and an excellent choice for near-term drinking.

Wine Enthusiast (95)
Aromas of underbrush, crushed mint and new leather mingle with a whiff of wild rose.

Wine Enthusiast (99)
Enticing aromas of rose, iris, wild berry and spice appear in this gorgeous red. Combining structure and finesse, the delicious palate delivers ripe raspberry, Marasca cherry, star anise and pipe tobacco set against a backbone of firm, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it impeccably balanced while a tangy mineral note lingers on the finish. While it's still quite young, it already shows class, pedigree and excellent aging potential.

(3x75cl) 2022Experience the splendour of fine white Burgundy wine with the Eugenie Chassagne Montrachet Perclos 2022. Exquisitely crafted amongst the verdant slopes of Chassagne-Montrachet, the vines enjoy perfect sunlight exposure, caressed by nurturing winds that embody the Burgundian terroir into each grape. This opulent wine is an homage to the unparalleled winegrowing and winemaking practices revered by Domaine Eugénie, an estate founded in 2006 by François Pinault. The tasteful derivative of Chardonnay grapes, this entrancing elixir showcases a vibrant spectrum of flavours. Indulge in the melange of creamy lemon curd, ripe green apple, toasted almonds with a spume of minerality, precisely encapsulated within a firm structure that promises remarkable ageing potential. You can be certain: Eugenie Chassagne Montrachet Perclos 2022 is more than just a wine. It is the spirit of Burgundy, captured in a bottle.

(6x75cl) 2006Wine Spectator (92)
Rich and generous, with vanilla and milk chocolate accenting black cherry, plum and mineral flavors. A powerful red, this is balanced and long, with a sweet, spicy aftertaste. Best from 2011 through 2024. 35 cases imported. -BSInc. VAT£2,133.24 -
(6x75cl) 2008Vinous (94+)
Good medium red. Subtle, pure, high-pitched aromas of black cherry, blackberry, violet and licorice. Chewy, intense and penetrating, with plenty of stem-driven energy behind the saline, soil-driven flavors of minerals, dark berries and graphite. There's no easy sweetness here, but this builds impressively in the glass and leaves the taste buds quivering on the very long, lightly peppery back end. These firm tannins will need a decade of patience. Like the Grands-Echezeaux, this wine was aged in 80% to 90% new oak.Inc. VAT£1,645.82 -
(6x75cl) 2010Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (93-96)
(a blend of two tanks, one vinified with destemmed fruit, the other with 50% whole clusters): Red-ruby. Black cherry, licorice and oaky torrefaction on the nose, lifted by minty and peppery nuances. Very sweet and energetic on entry, then sappy and gripping in the middle, combining impressive thickness for the year with noteworthy finesse. Finishes with suave, dusty, fine tannins and subtle notes of spices and wild herbs. Great potential here.Inc. VAT£1,931.59 -
Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (93-95)
(25% vendange entier): Good bright red with ruby tones. Precise aromas of black cherry, licorice and herbs. Spicy and penetrating on the palate; a bit strict but offers a great combination of sweetness and minerality. At once classy and powerful, finishing with a lingering element of saline minerality and firm, noble tannins that saturate the entire mouth.Inc. VAT£1,466.29 -
Vinous (95)
(25 hectoliters per hectare): Full, dark red. Tight, primary, slightly reduced aromas of blackberry, blueberry, licorice and minerals. Densely packed, rich and broad; a distinctly horizontal, pliant style of Clos Vougeot, no doubt a function of the very warm, sunny vintage. Today this is sweeter and more open-knit than the Grands-Echézeaux but both of these wines should easily age for two decades or more. (Mallard noted that on some days this wine comes across as stricter, more Cistercian.) Finishes with spicy, ripe tannins and terrific energy and length.Inc. VAT£430.92 -
(6x75cl) 2016Decanter (96)
Last tasted in 2022, the 2016 Clos de Vougeot from Domaine d’Eugenie was a bit forbidding, with the fresh acidity and firm grip still very apparent. With a few more years in bottle, the edges have smoothed, rounded, and filled out. There are still profuse aromas of mulberry and pomegranate fruit, but there are more notes of earth, mineral, and spice; the texture is more dense than angular, but the finish has lost none of its length – this is maturing well, and should last another another 20 to 30 years.Inc. VAT£2,432.22 -
(6x75cl) 2017Vinous (94)
The 2017 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru is well defined and precise, with cranberry, raspberry and vibrant red cherry scents that soar from the glass. The oak here is very well assimilated. The well-balanced palate offers fine but firm tannins that frame the black cherry and raspberry fruit. Lovely tension and mineralité on the finish, which delivers just the right amount of spice and length. Excellent. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.Inc. VAT£1,723.36 -
Decanter (97)
Powerful dark plum and cassis fruit, with impressive structure and power. Despite the stuffing, this wine never loses sight of its elegance. Bravo! Domaine d’Eugénie is the current proprietor of this parcel which was once owned by Domaine René Engel. It is a 1.34ha plot that averages 60-70 years of age even with some interplanting; the youngest vines are all declassified. The parcel is not far from the Mugneret-Gibourg vines, but the style is very different. 70% whole-cluster.Inc. VAT£1,166.64 -

(3x75cl) 2021Vinous - Neal Martin (91)
The 2021 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a quietly impressive nose with precise, minerally red berry fruit and hints of tomato vine in the background. Returning after ten minutes, the whole clusters come through strongly and might be off-putting to some as they impart a greenness. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. Again, quite raw and herbaceous (stemmy) towards the finish, although if you like your Clos Vougeot on the "peppery" side, then you might like this more. This is all about conjecture. If those stems do manage to fully assimilate, then this could be blindingly good but if not… Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.Inc. VAT£1,194.74 -

Ruby-red. Perfumed, inviting aromas of bitter chocolate, blood orange and Moroccan spices. Round, concentrated and ripe, with sappy density to the flavors of dark fruits and spices. This is much easier to taste today than the Brulees. Finishes with sweet, ripe, even tannins and excellent length. Should be superb.Inc. VAT£2,010.04 -
(6x75cl) 2020Vinous (94-96)
The 2020 Echézeaux Grand Cru includes 70% whole bunch and matured in 80% new oak. This is very refined on the nose with brambly red berry fruit, crushed stone, wilted rose petal and a touch of spice. The palate is tensile on the entry with a slightly granular texture, fine depth, real precision and poise on the finish. This really is a top-notch Echézeaux.Inc. VAT£2,515.12 -
Vinous (92-94)
The 2021 Echézeaux Grand Cru, which was protected by the frost with candles, hence there are seven barrels this year compared to the five barrels of the previous year. Red and black fruit on the nose, graphite coming through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins. The partial whole clusters lend a discrete pepperiness, very nicely focused with sour cherry and clove towards quite a structured finish that will require time to absorb the new oak. Quite serious. Patience required.Inc. VAT£1,325.87 -
