Terroir Sense Fronteres Vertebra de la Figuera 2017
Add to cart$86.00in any six
$99.00 per single bottle
A hint of funk from reduction, but it blows off fast to reveal complex and delicate floral and spicy aromas that weave a compelling picture, unlike any other garnacha I know. Astonishingly filigree on the palate with a very long finish, perfectly supported by the refined tannins. Drink or hold. 95 points, JamesSuckling.com The ‘spine […]

$100.00 per single bottle
Blood red with a vibrant purple hue. This Syrah is typical cool climate with its perfume of violets, black pepper and cinnamon spice. Adding to these flavours is a strong mineral streak. Plusher notes of milk chocolate give the wine a degree of openness and comfort. The palate is mid-weight but with an extra degree […]

This 2015 vintage of Emilien from Chateau Le Puy is a real gem. As with all vintages the first thing that strikes you is the glorious jewel-like colour.

$103.00 per single bottle
The 2013 Corte Lavel Amarone has a very deep core, becoming ruby garnet closer to the brim. Palate of velvet richness. Incredibly complex array of red, blue and black fruits. Tobacco, spice, black tea, bitter chocolate and dried fruits. So much going on here, every sip revealing new flavours and texture. Despite the size, Corte […]

$103.00 per single bottle
There is no other Australian shiraz that is as multifaceted and encapsulates the concept of light and shade as the Tyrrell’s Vat 9 Shiraz. To quote Robert Hughes from his masterpiece, Goya, it is ‘the primal struggle of light and dark, that flux from which all consciousness of shape is born’. The 2017 Vat 9 […]

$104.00 per single bottle
A couple of years ago Michele mentioned to me that she had a plan for Syrah to sit with her celebrated ‘Ceps Centennaires’ Grenache. Farmed bio dynamically, as all grapes at Gramenon are, the had harvested grapes are fermented using ambient yeasts but for this wine there is a 60 day maceration. She put in […]

Cuvée Zacharie is Thivin’s grand vin and one of the most beautiful wines in all the region. It is made from very old and densely planted vines (10,000 vines per hectare). During maturation, the wine spends a tenth of its maturation time in new oak barrels and the rest of the time in 1 to […]

This has a very vibrant and aromatic array of red fruit and flowers with attractive raspberries and red plums, as well as spiced orange and yellow-peach notes.

“Tasted at the domaine, about three months after the bottling. This is an impressive ‘wow’ wine aromatically, perfumed and fresh, with toasted cherry and bright peach stone on the nose. The palate is divine, textured, complete and finessed, cleanly defined, pure and correct. Incredible fruit, cut through with a chalky, talc-like mineral substance, showing a […]

Valenciso 10 Anos Rioja 2008

$107.00 per single bottle
The 2008 is just the third release of this leftfield Rioja and arguably the finest to date. Bottled in 2018, hence the name ’10 Years After’, the extended ageing in concrete results in no loss of colour and only seems to intensify the wine’s fruit purity and aromatic expression. Meanwhile the striking palate is both […]

Sublime wine. Soaring perfume of red fruits, spice and hints of Rosemary. The palate is utterly seductive. Plush and soft with a wealth of red fruits and the slinkiest sveldt tannins that hold the wine’s notes perfectly. The most sensual Cabernet Franc that I can remember having and has challenged my preconceptions about this varietal. WWC, […]

Pernand’s five, red 1er Crus are all south of the village, close to the Corton hill.

$110.00 per single bottle
As always, the fruit for this wine comes from the plateau at Daix, near Marsannay. The vines here sit at 400 metres, bringing freshness and purity. The very low yields bring remarkable depth and age-worthiness. It is outstanding for its level (it has been for decades) and it will live—and improve—for five to ten years. […]

The grapes were grown by Angelo de Fazio at his Nitschke Road Vineyard; the wine matured in French oak (50% new) for 22 months.

Close planted in 1984/86. Vinified separately, thus a pair of wild ferments, one whole-bunch, the other destemmed. pressed to French Hogsheads (20% new), matured for 12 months. The perfumed bouquet of red berries, rose petals and spice leads into a wondrously fine, elegant palate. It’s the product of many things, including the great 2017 Victoria vintage. […]

$116.00 per single bottle
Now we enter the realm of Bouland’s spectacular, terroir-specific Morgons. This particular wine is the first of two cuvées that focus on Corcelette’s sandy, granitic soils. This soil generates wines of great perfume and finer, rounder tannins than those of Morgon’s more schist-influenced terroirs. Like all Bouland’s wines this was whole-bunch fermented with indigenous yeasts […]

Bouland’s 2019 Corcelette Vieilles Vignes Sable showcases the depth, intensity and personality coaxed from some of Morgon’s oldest vines. The value here is off the charts. It’s such a jubey, fine and pretty wine. If it was from the Cote d’Or you’d swear you were in Chambolle. The 2019 Morgon Corcelette Vieilles Vignes Sable is […]

$116.00 per single bottle
Bouland’s Morgon Bellevue Cailloux 2019 is made exactly the same way as all of the Bouland wines: natural, whole-bunch ferment, concrete tank/foudre élevage and no fining. This is fascinating to compare directly with the Sable (sand) cuvée. Here, there’s more plum and blackcurrant depths, and also a smoky, hot-rocks kind of mineral profile. Long and strong, […]

As always, this is likely to be Bouland’s most age-worthy wine and it is something special in 2019. It’s a superb Délys, expressing lifted mulberry fruit, lots of spice, hints of nettle and a certain, graphite-like minerality. Already a wonderful drink but, as always, the tannins are the most tightly wound, the steeliest, reminding us that […]
