Saumaize-Michelin Vire-Cleese 2020
$60.00Tangy and zesty with citrus, grapefruit, white peach, jasmine and pear. A wine that ensures that you’re tasting the south, full flavoured and rich, but perhaps slightly more controlled and linear than the rest of the range. Yellow fruits begin to emerge on the palate, but are kept very much in check by the lavish […]

Bachelet-Monnot Bourgogne Rouge 2020
$75.00“Deep purple black, surprisingly little nose. Juicy pure red fruit, classic rather than hot vintage fruit in the mouth and impressively concentrated, firmer structure than in 2019. Really long finish. I am rather impressed by this.” 87-89 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy This bright and juicy Bourgogne was drawn from three parcels: one-third comes from […]

Thierry Glantenay Bourgogne Rouge 2019
$85.00The 2019 Bourgogne Rouge delivers inviting aromas of cassis, sweet berries, spices and orange rind, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate that’s lively and sapid.

Chateau des Bachelards Beaujolais Blanc 2021
$70.00Just 3 barrels made of the defining white of the appellation. Unlike Burgundy, or indeed the reds of Beaujolais, the whites of the region are not stratified and do not carry a singular identity. This is old school chardonnay, the likes made in Burgundy 20 years ago. Rich and full bodied with extended lees ageing […]

Maxime-François Laurent Cotes du Rhone Il Fait Soif 2020
$48.00Produced in a similar fashion to the ‘Poignée de Raisins’ but from 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah. As always this wine has a bit more power than the Poignee de Raisins.
