Red Wine France - Bordeaux Saint-Julien CHATEAU LAGRANGE 3ieme Cru Classe Saint-Julien 1996 £68.95 Bottle Wine Advocate #122 (Apr 1999) - Robert Parker 90 points This impeccably run, Japanese-owned property has fashioned a superb 1996. Opaque purple-colored, with a backward yet promising nose of classically pure cassis intermixed with pain grille and spice, this medium to full-bodied, powerful yet stylish wine possesses superb purity, a nicely-layered feel in the mouth, and plenty of structure. It will not be an early-drinking St.-Julien, but one to lay away and enjoy over the next 2-3 decades. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2022. The Wine Doctor - "The nose shows coffee oak, molasses, mocha and caramel - wow! Full, creamy and luscious palate, full of delightfully textured black fruits with plenty of extract. Roasted berries, iron, bloody beef, black cherry and blackcurrant fruit character. This has all the stuffing required for the cellar. Excellent potential. This will continue to improve over the next eight years at the very least. 17.5+/20 (2005) CHATEAU LAGRANGE 3ieme Cru Classe Saint-Julien 2005 £44.95 Bottle ROBERT PARKER 91? points 'Sweet, toasty, oaky notes interwoven with hints of black olives, blackberries, cassis, and spice box are found in this densely saturated ruby/purple-hued 2005. While rich, with impressive concentration and purity, it is also tannic, full-bodied, and painfully backward and foreboding. This is another long-term prospect that will require patience. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2027.' CHATEAU LALANDE BORIE Saint-Julien 2006 Bottle A relatively recent Bordeaux château, Lalande-Borie is owned by the Borie family and managed by Bruno Borie, who also owns the prestigious Château Ducru-Beaucaillou. Enticingly sweet natured on the nose, with great freshness and poise on the palate. An excellent wine. £20.95 CHATEAU LEOVILLE POYFERRE 2ieme Cru Classe Saint-Julien £59.95 2004 Bottle ROBERT PARKER 93 points 'Along with Leoville Las Cases and a few others, this is among the stars of the appellation. Made in a more floral, supple, Margaux-like style, the deep ruby/purple-hued 2004 Leoville Poyferre exhibits sweet, broad flavours, and plenty of tannin lurking beneath the surface. However, the abundant cherry, black currant, liquorice, and smoke notes obscure the tannic clout. This rich, powerful, broad beauty should be drinkable in 2-3 years, and last for two decades' CHATEAU LEOVILLE-LAS-CASES 2ieme Cru Saint-Julien 1986 £329.50 Bottle ROBERT PARKER The Wine Advocate (1998) 98 points 'The 1986 Leoville-Las Cases, which Delon continues to believe is his finest vintage in the eighties (even eclipsing the 1982), still exhibits a black/purple color with no signs of age. The nose offers up aromas of exceptionally ripe cassis fruit intertwined with scents of vanillin, minerals, and spices. The wine is full-bodied, exceptionally well-delineated, and phenomenally concentrated. Still unevolved and youthful, this is one of the most profound Leoville-Las-Cases, but for my palate, it remains a notch behind both the 1982 and 1996. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2030.' CHATEAU LEOVILLE-LAS-CASES 2ieme Cru Saint-Julien 2006 £159.95 Bottle ROBERT PARKER 93-95 'Perfectionist owner Jean-Hubert Delon believes the 2006 Leoville Las Cases recalls the greatness of the 1986 and 1996. The natural alcohol came in at 13.3%, and only 40% of the production made it into the final blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.5% Merlot, and a dollop of Cabernet Franc. This backward, deep ruby/purple-hued effort exhibits sweet, pure black cherry, raspberry, and cassis characteristics, soft, ripe tannin, and medium body. It reveals a strong similarity to its next door neighbor, Chateau Latour. The 2006 Las Cases will require 5-8 years of bottle age, and should drink well for 25-30 years.' DECANTER 5***** 'Intense colour, fragrant and smoky, masses of extract, almost Californian, but then wild violets and terroir expression come through, extraordinary richness of fruit yet perfect balance. 2015-40.' CHATEAU LEOVILLE-LAS-CASES 2ieme Cru Saint-Julien 2007 £114.50 Bottle ROBERT PARKER 92-95 points DECANTER MAGAZINE **** (18 points) 'Huge colour, really impressive purple-black, intense, yet very fragrant and very pure fruit on the nose, great length and precision on the palate, great depth and finely grained tannins, a wine for the long term. Drink 2017-30.' CHATEAU TALBOT 3ieme Cru Classe Saint-Julien 2008 Bottle £31.95 ROBERT PARKER 89-91 points 'A forward, luscious wine that should turn out to be outstanding, Talbot’s deep ruby/purple-colored 2008 offers plenty of roasted herb, berry fruit, coffee, and soil characteristics in its rich, layered, stunningly opulent and fleshy personality. While it still has plenty of tannin to shed, it is ripe and well-integrated. Give it 2-3 years of bottle age, and drink it over the next 20-25 years.' CLOS DU MARQUIS 2nd Wine of Chateau Leoville-las-Cases £49.95 St-Julien 1998 Bottle THE WINE ADVOCATE (2011) 89 points 'A pretty wine and a classic Bordeaux, this 2008 has attractive notes of minerals intermixed with fruitcake and sweet currant fruit. Medium-bodied and pure, with a dense ruby/purple color, it should drink nicely for 10 years at the very minimum.' Red Wine France - Bordeaux Saint-Julien CLOS DU MARQUIS 2nd Wine of Chateau Leoville-las-Cases £42.95 St-Julien 2005 Bottle ROBERT PARKER 91 points 'The superb second wine, the 2005 Clos du Marquis, reflects the utter brilliance of the 2005 grand vin. It boasts an inky/ruby/purple color along with a sweet perfume of lead pencil, ripe cherries and black currants, and hints of earth and vanillin. Dense, chewy, fleshy, and full-bodied, this beauty will be drinkable in 3-4 years, and should keep for 15-20.' THE WINE SPECTATOR 92-94 points 'This is very solid, with currants, minerals and berries on the nose and palate. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Lots of licorice and cassis. Tight. Always excellent in top vintages.' James Suckling DECANTER MAGAZINE 3*** 'Dense colour, soft and spicy with lots of charm, supple fruit, balance and purity, more forward style than usual. Drink 2010-18. (16.5 points)' CLOS DU MARQUIS 2nd Wine of Chateau Leoville-las-Cases £29.95 St-Julien 2006 Bottle DECANTER **** 'Fine depth of classic Saint-Julien fruit with more structure and grip than in 2005, yet fleshy and succulent. Very good. 2012-20.' LES FIEFS DE LAGRANGE 2nd Wine of Chateau Lagrange 2008 Bottle £19.95 Hats off to Jean-Pierre Marty for bringing along this gem of a wine. Pure and long on the nose. Such a powerful nose and probably among the best ones we have come across from 2000 vintage so far. On the palate it still feels young and has some 2000 austerity to it but it tails off nicely to a good finish. This 2000 is the second unexpected great experience with Talbot in a week ( the 96 being the other one) . This is a definite buy in our mind 93+ but it can easily age into something really special. France - Burgundy Beaune HENRI BOILLOT Beaune 1er Cru 'Clos du Roi' 2005/06/07 £42.95 Bottle This Cru on the border of Savigny displays deeply concentrated fruit; owing to a respectably low yield of 35hl/ha and the excellent conditions in 2005. The palate is succulent with some finely tuned tannins and refreshing structure. This added to some floral notes on the nose gives the wine an unquestionable elegance. An intense and serious wine. Drink 2009 to 2012. HENRI BOILLOT Beaune 1er Cru 'Epenottes' 2005 Bottle £47.95 On the border of Pommard, this Cru usually takes on the serious character of its neighbour. The 2005 clearly has a deep structure yet the tannins are ripe and sweet and infused with intense dark black fruits. The finish is very complex with some spicy hints. Drink 2009 to 2015 JEAN-CLAUDE BOISSET Beaune 1er Cru 'Les Greves' 2007 £33.95 Bottle Gregory Patriat (winemaker) worked hard in the vineyards and the result was ripe fruit and low yields. Very intense colour, with perfumes of black cherries and summer fruit, together with slightly woody notes. Excellent backbone of ripe, tightly knit and firm tannins support a silky smooth ripeness of fruit. Long and elegant on the finish, it has all the hallmarks of Gregory's top wines and promises to age well. Gregory spends a great deal of his time in the vineyards, and pays the growers by the hectare, rather than by tonnage, in order to ensure low yields. He also prefers to work with organic growers, as he finds they produce better fruit. "40% of the growers we work with are organic, but only 5% of Burgundy's growers are organic," says Patriat. VINCENT GIRARDIN Beaune 1er Cru 'Bressandes' 2006 Bottle £28.95 Excellent backbone of ripe, tightly knit and firm tannins support a silky smooth ripeness of fruit. Long and elegant on the finish, it has all the hallmarks of a top Pinot Noir. EXCELLENT! Bonnes Mares COMTE DE VOGUE Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru 2001 Bottle £199.95 ROBERT PARKER 89-91 points 'Blackberries and a myriad of spices are found in the nose of the light to medium-bodied 2001 Bonnes Mares. Satin-textured and broad shouldered on the attack, this wine reveals outstanding depth to its blackberry and blueberry-flavored character. Its dark fruit-laden finish displays a firm, woody tannin-laced characteristic. Drink it over the next 7 years. According to Francois Millet, this famed estate’s highly talented winemaker, 2001 was a vintage that wished to produce high yields. Burgundy’s resident poet, Millet stated that “2001's fruit is its sensuality, the acidity is its conscience and soul.” While my pragmatic mind is incapable of understanding the meaning of his words, it is clear that Millet fashioned some of the finest red Burgundies produced in 2001.' GEORGE ROUMIER Bonnes Mares 2001 Bottle £395.00 Perfect drinking now. Robert Parker "The medium-bodied, medium to dark ruby-colored 2001 Bonnes Mares is an outstanding wine. It explodes from the glass with candied black fruit aromas and slathers the palate with its deep, suave, violet-laced jammy blackberries. Armed with first-rate depth of fruit, this friendly, silky-textured offering displays a long finish packed with ripe tannin enveloped in black cherries. Projected maturity: now-2010."

Red Wine France - Burgundy Bourgogne A.O.C. BERRYS' The Red 'Extra Ordinary' Burgundy, Nicolas Potel £14.95 2008/09 Bottle Roche de Bellene has blended this fabulous Pinot Noir to their specifications and has included wines from grander appellations for extra intensity of flavour. It exhibits pretty raspberry aromas with top notes of vanilla, while the palate offers a cornucopia of perfumed raspberries, strawberries and cherries. Depth of flavour, great poise and a lingering finish denote the quality of this wine. Superb with a wide range of red meat and poultry. VINCENT GIRARDIN Bourgogne Rouge 'Emotion' 2009 Bottle £14.95 Here is real Burgundy, attractively packaged and grown, produced and bottled by a highly regarded “real-deal” winemaker. The goal here is to offer pinot of good value that captures the spirit of Burgundy: a revolutionary concept for the tradition-bound French! On the nose, good cherry fruit and subtle forest floor aromatics are very much evident. Emotions Rouge has a fleshy texture which is very pleasing. Like most French pinot I have enjoyed, this wine shows no alcohol heat and has very balanced acidity. The oak makes a contribution of cocoa and coffee to the nose and mid-palate. This pinot was very food friendly and a pleasure to drink. Chambertin DOMAINE GEORGE MUGNERET Ruchottes Chambertin £295.00 'Grand Cru' 2005 Bottle "The 2005 Ruchottes-Chambertin is a titan of a wine, as it offers depth, dimension and refinement that pushes the sensory envelope to the extreme. The Mugneret sisters noted that it was a cold morning when the Ruchottes was harvested, and the grapes arrived at the cuverie almost chilled as a result. This could be the cause of the brilliant complexity and precision that the wine displays in 2005, as it soars from the glass in a haunting perfume of cherries, red plums, black raspberries, blood orange, cocoa, black minerality, roses and a touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied and utterly refined, as it offers a great core of fruit, laser-like focus, fine-grained tannins, tangy acids, and stunning length and grip on the endless finish. This is always a very, very strong wine chez Mugneret, but this is a monument of elegance in 2005. I have never had a better bottle of Mugneret Ruchottes than this vintage." (John Gilman) Chambolle-Musigny DUJAC FILS & PERE Chambolle-Musigny 2007 Bottle £32.95 Domaine Dujac was acquired by Jacques Seysses in 1967. The domaine in Morey-St-Denis had 4 hectares of vineyards and he has subsequently built it up to 11.5 hectares. Domaine Dujac now includes holdings in Clos de la Roche, Clos St-Denis, Bonnes-Mares, Echézeaux and Charmes-Chambertin . These are wines of the very highest order. Jeremy and Jacques Seysses now also make a small range of negociant wines under the label Dujac fils et père. A beautiful fragrance dominates Dujac's Chambolle-Musigny wine, which is also imbued with the slightly smoky aspect of a wine which has not been destemmed. Hints of myrtle and blackcurrant glint on the palate. LOUIS REMY Chambolle-Musigny 'Les Fremieres' 1990 Bottle £59.95 Chapelle-Chambertin DOMAINE PONSOT Chapelle-Chambertin 'Grand Cru' 1999 £149.95 Bottle ROBERT PARKER 97 Points - "Pale ruby / brick. Beautifully perfumed nose of dried cranberries, violets, cinnamon and a hint of aniseed. In the mouth this is a superbly structured Burgundy with crisp acidity sustaining the length of the palate and a medium+ level of very finely grained tannins. Layers of complex floral, earth and fruit flavours combine with ethereal results in the very long finish. Wow. Drink now – 2015+." Charmes-Chambertin PATRICE & MICHEL RION Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru £79.95 2005 Bottle An unforgettable wine with intense aromas of black fruit, truffle, liquorice. The vineyards owned by Domaine Michèle and Patrice RION are farmed biodynamically.The grapes are harvested by hand ; a time-consuming, laborious and expensive process that ensures only the ripest fruit reaches the winery. Clos Saint Denis NICOLAS POTEL Clos Saint Denis 1999 Bottle £94.95 ROBERT PARKER 92-93 Points - "The dark ruby-colored 1999 Clos St.-Denis has beguiling licorice and violet aromas. This fat, round, medium to full-bodied wine has outstanding density and concentration. It is crammed with lush layers of blueberries, cherries, blackberries, and a myriad of spices, all of whose flavors last throughout its impressively pure and long finish. Drink it between 2003 and 2012." Clos de Tart Red Wine France - Burgundy Clos de Tart MOMMESSIN Clos du Tart 'Grand Cru' 'Monopole' 2004 £189.95 Bottle Sylvain Pitiot, this estate’s highly dedicated director and winemaker (he’s best known as the cartographer who designed, with his father-in-law, the fabulous topographical maps of Burgundy that hang in all Cote d’Or cellars), has elevated this domaine’s quality and consistency to the point that it must now be listed as one of Burgundy’s great producers. A wide, creamy and interesting nose. Versus 'La Forge' this is much silkier and has so many more facets - more intense and certainly more complex. Lovely, lingering finish. JEAN GRIVOT Clos de Vougeot 2005 Bottle £179.50 Clive Coates MW wrote of the 2005 "Every time I went back to this wine I marked it higher. Knowing that Grivot's wines never exactly sing in their youth, I was not surprised to find out what this was when I saw the results. Very good colour. Good structure on the nose. Fresh, rich, but rather closed in. Very good energy and concentration. Full body. Tannic. A big, backward wine. But there is very lovely fruit here and a very lovely finish. Got better and better in the glass. Very fine." Clos de la Roche PIERRE AMIOT Clos de la Roche 1999 Bottle £79.95 Black earth, chocolate and prunes and raspberries marinated in alcohol on the nose. On the palate the tannins are almost resolved. Good fruit, nice sweetness and spiciness, balanced by good acidity; hints of black coffee and chocolate and exotic spices. Beginning its window of drinking. Cote Chalonnaise FRANCOIS LUMPP Givry 'A Vigne Rouge' 2008 Bottle £22.95 Bright cherry hue, good expressive fresh cherryish pinot, really nice juicy red berry fruits on the palate, lovely perfume, seductive berry fruit freshness, juicy nubile tannins and cleansing fresh acidity; this would make a superior house burgundy. Cote de Nuits RENE BOUVIER Cote de Nuits Villages 2007 Bottle £19.95 Red forest fruits and some earthy impressions. Pleasant all over. Light to medium bodied and a medium long finish. Probably best between 4 and 7 years of age. RENE BOUVIER Cotes de Nuits Villages 2009 Bottle £20.95 The Bouvier family has owned vineyards in the village of Marsannay at the northernmost border of the Cote d'Or for four generations. Each generation has added a bit to the holdings and now the estate is about 40 acres spread over six villages. Bernard Bouvier (the son of Rene) is considered one of the most promising young winemakers in Burgundy today. He is one of the new generation of winemakers who has melded the best of the thinking of previous generations to modern vinification techniques and vineyard practices and technology. His first vintage was in 1986. Chemical treatments are banned and yields are held to a minimum. This Cotes de Nuit villages is a robust and structured Pinot Noir, with red fruit and licorice on the nose. Good texture and mouth feel with velvety smooth tannins and a lingering finish. Compliments red meats and many varieties of cheeses. Echezeaux, CDN FRANCOIS PARENT Echezeaux 1999 Bottle £84.50 Lovely deep red ruby colour. Big bright acidic red cherry nose with violet hints. Full red/black cherry on the palate. Really starting to open up nicely! JEAN GRIVOT Echezeaux Grand Cru 2002 Bottle £124.50 ROBERT PARKER 93-95 points 'From a parcel in the “Cruots” sector of its vineyard, the 2002 Echezeaux bursts forth with toasty blackberry and cassis aromas. Its awesomely-textured character reveals sensual, oily layers of red cherries, candied raspberries, and spices that linger in its sultry, seductive, and prolonged finish. Drink this concentrated beauty between 2007 and 2018.' ROBERT ARNOUX Echezeaux Grand Cru 1998 Bottle £89.95 Arnoux died in 1995, and since then this superb property has been run by his son-in-law, Pascal Lachaux. The holdings include grands crus Romanée St-Vivant and Echézeaux, and premiers crus Chaumes, Reignots, and Suchots. Lachaux pulls out all the stops, ageing the top wines in new oak, and bottling without fining or filtration. This is quintessential Vosne: always rich, always stylish. And, one should add, always very expensive. Fixin RENE BOUVIER Fixin Rouge 'Crais de Chene 2009 Bottle £23.95 Bernard Bouvier has 17 hectares under vine in and around Gevrey and Marsannay. Yields are extremely low and never exceed 30 hl/ha and no chemical sprays are used in the vineyards. Fermentation of the reds involves a long, cold maceration and a gentle extraction – what Bernard calls an “infusion”. About one third new barrels are used. They are bottled without fining or filtration and are rich, concentrated, generous and intensely flavoured. Fixin is the first village on the Cote de Nuits and makes ripe forward wines that are deliciously fruity and characterful. Gevrey-Chambertin Page 37 of 90
