Lynch Moussas 2008 produced an impressive wine in the underrated 2008 vintage. Robert Parker awarded it 88-89 while Wine Enthusiast gave it 89 and described it as being ‘intensely spicy wine, full of exotic flavours, dried prunes, figs and a powerful layer of cinnamon.’ Created from a classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, Lynch Moussas has always made a traditional style of Pauillac and is renowned for its longevity and complexity.

Montagny, an appellation in the Côte Chalonnaise region of Burgundy only make white wines and are a fuller style and offer great value for money. This Multi award winning wine from Domaine Feuillat-Juillot is from a small 1 hectare parcel of 28 year old vines, which are carefully hand picked to ensure selection of only the best quality fruit.  Beautifully balanced wine with a mineral, chalky nose with a touch of oyster shell and floral notes. Delicious on its own or paired with shellfish and fis

"Burgundy hits the bullseye with 2019" - James Suckling - Most famous for its Pinot Noir, only 10% of the wines from Savigny-Lès-Beaune are made using Chardonnay. This Savigny-Lès-Beaune from the outsanding 2019 Vintage is sourced from the south facing sunny climats of 'Les Planchots' and 'Les Pimentiers'. Hand harvested and fermented using natural yeasts, this is a full bodied wine but without being too heavy with exotic fruits and golden apple, a wine to savour in its youth. A fantastic Burgun

Château Vitallis only made a tiny amount of wine in 2021, but they are ones lovers of white Burgundy should have. The Pouilly-Fuissé ‘Les Vignes du Château’ 2021 is a blend of grapes from Château Vitallis’ historic 13th-century plots. The vines, with an average age of 35 years, are planted on clay-limestone Jurassic soils, and bring richness to their wines. In line with owners Denis and Maxime Dutron’s winemaking philosophy, great care and attention are lavished on the vineyards using organic me

93 Points - Decanter. Chateau Meyney 2020 is probably the best wine this impressive property has produced since its acquisition by Crédit Agricole Grands Crus in 2004. 2020 was an exceptional year in Bordeaux and the conditions seem to have agreed with Chateau Meyney’s well-placed vines. Scoring 93 from Falstaff Magazine and Jeff Leve who described it as, ‘Rich, ripe, supple and lush, the wine is polished, fresh and offers layers of fruit-filled pleasure with every sip’, this is a seriously good

The Moulin des Vrilleres Sancerre Rosé is produced from 100% Pinot Noir grown on fine limestone and clay soils. The limestone imparts a wonderful minerality while the clay adds depth to the finished wine. It’s produced using the saignée method whereby the skins ‘bleed’ a little colour into the wine over a period of around 12 hours. Fermentation temperatures are kept low to protect the delicate aromas, and it's bottled in the spring to capture its vibrancy. Taste Beautiful smoked salmon pink, the

The Domaine de La Croix vineyard, the largest of the Crus Classés Côtes de Provence, and 1 of only 18, enjoys a geographical location by the sea with an exceptional microclimate. Cuvee Éloge has a beautiful maturity in its aromas of blueberries, blackcurrants, and a hint of spice. On the palate, the tannins express themselves with elegance, accompanied by notes of pepper and black olive. The finish is long and persistent, capturing the origin and beauty of its terroir. Blend: Syrah 85% | Mourvèd

A rare chance to savour the exquisite Pouilly Fuisse Vieilles Vignes 2021 from Burgundy great, Vincent Girardin. 2021 was a lovely but hugely challenging vintage in Burgundy.  The little wine that was made offers a delicious combination of freshness, elegance, and harmony. The Vincent Girardin Pouilly Fuisse Vieilles Vignes typifies this, offering mouth-watering citrus, green apple and white peach fruit that’s given richness and depth by barrel fermentation. Sublime now, it will continue to deve

92-94 Points - Vinous Media. This wine is a Domaine du Pavillon “monopole”. It has the extremely rare distinction of possessing 2 different levels of appellation within the same 2 ha (5 acres) vineyard. "En Mareschaut" is derived from the Old French term “maresche” (marsh). The lower parts of Aloxe-Corton and Ladoix-Serrigny were marshy due to their proximity to the Lauve spring. Major drainage work was undertaken to dry up the land and make it suitable for planting vines. This grapes in this vi

90 Points - Wine Enthusiast. The goto producer for Tavel Rosé, Château d'Aqueria's 'grand vin' is a blend of Grenache Noir, Clairette, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Bourboulenc & Picpoul. The local terroir of sandy-clayey soils are ideal for the production of the estate’s great rosé wines that are both fruity and complex. Vivino Rating: 4.0 (Mar 2025) Wine Press Ratings 90 Points - Wine Enthusiast (2023 Vintage) Ripe and concentrated, this wine showcases the essence of fresh summer fruits such

Fixin doesn't get much better than this! The Domaine du Clos Saint Louis Fixin Entre Deux Velles Monopole Rouge 2022 has Fixin’s famed power and intensity, but it is so complex and nuanced.  Produced from a single vineyard planted exclusively with old vine Pinot Noir, it has begun to shed some of its youthful stiffness and reveal its underlying beauty. 2022 was a lovely year for red Burgundy, and it’s given the Domaine du Clos Saint Louis Fixin Entre Deux Velles Monopole even greater concentrati

Sitting just above the renowned Premier Cru of Clos des Mouches, Les Montrevenots is a lesser-known gem of a Burgundy Premier Cru. This 8-hectare plot is the highest of Beaune’s Premier Crus and sits on the border with Pommard. Thanks to its clay-rich soils and relatively high altitude it provides an exceptional site for growing Chardonnay. Monnier’s Les Montrevenots 2022 was produced from low-yielding old vines and is a perfect reflection of this site, being mineral-rich, powerful, yet elegant

This Chardonnay presents a wonderful contrast between liveliness and roundness, comfort and freshness. Situated on the heights of Savigny-lès-Beaune, the plot called "Les Champlains" is characterized by a poor and very stony soil. One can indeed see numerous "meurgers," these high piles of flat stones extracted from the vineyards over the centuries and piled into walls bordering the plots. The particularly generous sunlight of the plot benefits the grapes, which ripen well, resulting in a dense

Made in a great village in the Côte de Beaune, this wine is produced in a unique environment - in that they only produce red wines. From the very beginnings of vine growing in Burgundy, Pommard was reputed and already qualified as the “flower of Beaune” during the Middle Ages. The vineyards extend across ancient and well-drained alluvial soils, where the concentration of iron oxide reddens the earth. This wine is a deep red colour with a very expressive nose. It offers an aromatic palate of well

The Domaine de La Croix vineyard, the largest of the Crus Classés Côtes de Provence, and 1 of only 18, enjoys a geographical location by the sea with an exceptional microclimate. Cuvee Éloge is a delicate and distinguished white with a beautiful fruity expression of citrus zest, along with a fine, chiseled mineral texture. On the palate, hints of mango and freshness capturing the spectacular terroir. Taste A brilliant, pale yellow colour, this wine presents an elegant nose with notes of white fl

To be awarded the prestigious "Sélection de Grains Nobles" label, each grape—hand-selected after noble rot develops—is meticulously harvested one by one in late October or early November under strict state supervision. The grapes are gently pressed to extract their purest juice and aromas, initiating a natural fermentation process guided by careful temperature control to ensure balance and depth. After two to three months, the wine is racked to begin maturing, followed by filtration for stabilit

The vineyard of Nuits-Saint-Georges is recognised as an area producing some of the world’s greatest Pinot Noir wines, and the Premier Cru parcel of “Les Crots” is exposed at the top of the hillside, at an altitude of 275m on an escarpment which requires vine cultivation in terraces and handpicking. The unique features of this plot allows the vines to mature late and to produce grapes boasting exceptional concentration. This 2012 "Les Crots" is now reaching maturity, developing a complex bouquet

Domaine Vincent Prunier Pernand Vergelesses Blanc 2022 is another excellent example of this micro-domaine’s fantastic wines. Pernand Vergelesses lies just north of Beaune and can offer exceptional value for money. Vincent’s Pernand Vergelesses Blanc 2022 is an outstanding wine. Hand harvested, hand sorted, and handmade, it offers ample fruit, an elegant structure, and fine acidity that makes it a joy to drink young though it has the ability to age beautifully. Prices for Domaine Vincent Prunier’

The Meursault Premier Cru of Genevrieres is one of Meursault’s greatest sites with some critics arguing that its wines can be of Grand Cru quality when made by producers as fine as Jean Monnier. Facing southeast on the slope of Burgundy’s limestone escarpment, Genevrieres benefits from morning sun throughout the growing season which gives the wines an extra degree of weight and intensity. Domaine Monnier’s Meursault Genevrieres 2022 was produced from low-yielding old vines and is a perfect refle

90 Points - Falstaff. The history of this very old vineyard begins in the 13th century. Château la Tour de Mons, formerly Tour de Marsac, took in 1623 the name of its owner Pierre de Mons. Château La Tour de Mons was later sold to the Clauzel Crunchet family and then bought back in 1995 by a group of institutional investors, Crédit Agricole and Caisse des Dépôts and Placements du Québec. Since, very important works of renovation and modernisation were carried out in order to restore its past. Vi

91 Points - Wine Enthusiast. Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste produced an outstanding 2013. Writing in the Wine Advocate, Neal Martin described it as ‘one of the finest Pauillac wines of the vintage.’ A cool, wet spring, baking hot July, and a harvest carried out in fits and starts, this was a vintage that tested the winemakers’ skills to the limit. Grand-Puy-Lacoste’s Xavier and Emeline Borie were more than up to the challenge though and produced a wine that warrants its status as a Grand Cru Classé.

Domaine de Margüi can trace its roots back to Roman times through ruins and amphorae discovered in 2002. In 2017, the Domaine was fully renovated and became part of the Skywalker Vineyards collection. Château Margui, the Domaine's emblematic Cuvée, boasts a nose of white cherries and vine peaches, punctuated by light floral touches of honeysuckle. Dry in profile, it is smooth and silky on the palate with a polished texture, while the acidity is juicy, offering a wonderful sensation of freshness.
