Burgundy Wines
White Burgundy
£ per bottle (75cl) Inc Vat |
|
| 2008 Mâcon Prissé Les Clochettes, Cave de Prissé |
£10.00 |
Extremely accessible, fresh and pure Chardonnay from Burgundy. The Cuvée ‘Les Clochettes’ is this producer’s top Mâcon, and shows great concentration and complexity. |
|
| 2008 Saint Véran Les Pierres Blanches, Cave de Prissé |
£11.00 |
| Slightly smoky edge to the lemony, appley nose. Well balanced on the palate with a nutty, and slightly chunky fruit texture and good acidity. Tasty and full-flavoured. |
|
| 2008 Saint Véran Les Creches, Domaine Saumaize Michelin |
£16.95 |
| Ripe, zingy and fresh, this delightful Chablis shows a delicate minerality that perfectly complements smoked salmon, blinis and friends. This is an immediately attractive Chablis, designed for early drinking. |
|
| 2008 Chablis, Domaine Billaud-Simon |
£14.25 |
| Top quality Chablis from the coldest cellar I have ever been in! This temperature control, along with his attention to detail both in the vineyard and the winery, results in the finest, purest and most concentrated unoaked Chablis available. |
|
| 2008 Rully Vieilles Vignes, Vincent Girardin |
£16.50 |
| Vincent Girardin is one of the most exciting winemakers in Burgundy today. These are stylish and expressive wines which drink well young. The Rully has a bright floral nose along with tropical notes. Lots of fruit on the palate, juicy ripe acidity with superb balance and a long finish. |
|
| 2008 Pouilly Fuissé, Vignobles Parisse |
£19.00 |
| Honeyed but vibrant, with intensity, cream and length. As good as many Chassagne Montrachets! |
|
| 2007 Pouilly Fuissé Vignes Blanches, Domaine Saumaize Michelin |
£20.50 |
| Now committed to bio-dynamic viticulture, Roger Saumaize achieves superbly healthy grapes and levels of ripeness, without the wines ever losing balance or becoming over-ripe or blowsy. This wine is barrel fermented and aged to give a sumptuous spicy character. |
|
2007 Puligny Montrachet, Domaine Alain Chavy et Fils |
£30.00 |
| Alain Chavy has taken this estate up to a new level and the wines are clean, ripe and complex. This is a splendid parcel of deliciously mature Puligny at a very reasonable price. Drink now to 2012. |
|
| 2005 Chassagne Montrachet, Domaine Jean-Marc Pillot |
£33.00 |
| Jean-Marc Pillot makes rich, intense and concentrated wine with powerful aromas and opulent fruit on the palate. His vines in Chassagne are over 60 years old and give extraordinary intensity and depth. |
|
| 2007 Meursault Vieilles Vignes, Vincent Girardin |
£30.00 |
| Vincent Girardin has inherited ten generations of savoir-faire. His Meursault Vieilles Vignes plays the card of elegance and richness. This wine releases generous aromas of almonds, fresh butter, vanilla and toasted bread over a full and unctuous body, which is typical of Meursault. A delicacy that you absolutely must fill your wine cellar with. |
|
Red Burgundy
£ per bottle (75cl) Inc Vat |
|
2007 Bourgogne Rouge, Alain Hasard |
£13.25 |
| Heavy-weight Pinot Noir, rich and quite masculine in style which will improve with age (drink from now-2012). Lovely subtle, delicate nose of smoke and spices. In the mouth the acidity blends with the intense fruit flavours with a light and silky texture. Concentrated and very good length. It would benefit from decanting for an hour or two before enjoying. |
|
| 2005 Savigny Lès Beaune, Domaine Jean-Jacques Girard |
£19.50 |
| Jean-Jacques makes gloriously fruity and aromatically pure Savigny, with etched intensity, and superbly focused red Pinot fruit with similar levels of mid-palate sap and a dusty, chalky, intense finish. Flat out gorgeous! |
|
| 2005 Gevrey Chambertin, Domaine Rossignol-Trapet |
£34.75 |
| This has a beautifully intense purple colour with an almost ethereal nose reminiscent of the crushed grapes at harvest time. With sumptuous fruit and a mouth-coating silky texture, this is a truly excellent effort. Drink now to 2012. |
|
| 2005 Nuits Saint Georges, Bertrand Ambroise | £35.00 |
| Bertrand Ambroise is a big man from Nuits Saint Georges, and he likes his wines concentrated, rich and full. Little wonder then that this super ripe Nuits, from an excellent vintage, is packed full of warm black fruit with ripe tannin and a big finish. A fine achievement that will keep for ten years or more. |
We have spent many years intimately involved with the wines and people of Burgundy and as such have access to many more wines than we have space for here. Please contact Richard if you would like a wider selection of Burgundy.
Beaujolais
£ per bottle (75cl) Inc Vat |
|
| 2008 Fleurie ‘La Roilette’, Domaine Metrat |
£14.00 |
| Sylvian Metrat’s genius lies in an ability to preserve all the aromatic red fruit character that one associates with top Beaujolais. The Roilette “lieu-dit” has a perfect aspect, rich granite soil and a healthy dose of terrior to produce real depth and concentration in the wine. | |
