Savigny-les-Beaune
DOMAINE J. GUITON Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru 'Les
£21.95
Peuillets' 2006 Bottle
The dark and bright ruby robe, expressing notes of red fruits that become more spicy after
eighteen months spent in barrel. The attack is as fine and potent as fresh and fruity, and the
length is impressive.
Volnay
CARRE-COURBIN Volnay Vieilles-Vignes 2004 Bottle
£24.95
A succulent, fleshy and fully ripe Volnay which in this vintage was de-classified from the Lurets
and Robardelles 1er cru vineyards. This has really delicious fruit, big but very soft tannins
along with tremendous energy and class.
VINCENT GIRARDIN Volnay Vieilles-Vignes 2008 Bottle
£19.95
The nose is a mix of black tea, dark cherry and earth. An eager sip gives up a round mouthful
of cherry juice laced with tea, citrus and earthy minerality. It’s got a smoothly tannic finish
that leads into the next sip.
Vosne-Romanee
DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE CONTI 'La Tache' Grand Cru 2001 £1,295.00
Bottle/NC
ROBERT PARKER 93 Points: "Earth-laced blackberries can be discerned in the nose of the 2001
La Tache. Suave, plush, and regal, it boasts loads of candied black fruits in its deep character.
This supple wine reveals superb clarity of fruit and an impressively long, fruit-filled finish.
Anticipated maturity: 2004-2012. Concerning the 2001s, de Villaine, the Domaine de la
Romanee-Conti’s co-director, stated that “it was not an easy year, it was a real roller coaster
for vignerons. The estate’s vineyards, like everyone in Burgundy, had rot infestations so we
did two harvests, one for the best, healthiest bunches and then another. Of course, we
meticulously sorted all the fruit as we always do.”
DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE CONTI Vosne Romanee 'Duvault £399.50
Blochet' 2006 Bottle
ROBERT PARKER - 90 Points - "The Domaine's 2006 Vosne-Romanee Duvault-Blochet
represents an assemblage from younger vines in Echezeaux, Grands-Echezeaux,
Romanee-St.-Vivant, and Richebourg whose fruit did not make the cut for the estates grands
vins. Dark cherry, black raspberry, licorice, and charred meat in the nose lead to an initially
lush, silken-textured palate, generously-fruited and tinged with clove and mace. The
abundance of fine-grained tannin here becomes evident in the finish, accentuated by a hint of
detached oak, but lightly-cooked fruit, charred meat, and spice continue to generously
dominate. I would expect this to be best enjoyed over the next 4-5 years." (Dec 2009)
HUDELOT NOELLAT Vosne Romanee 1er Cru 'Les Beaumonts' £49.95
2008 Bottle
This has a similar nose to the Suchots but with just a tad more sense of purpose and lift.
Redcurrant, strawberry and orange rind, crushed stones with time. The palate is
medium-bodied, very cohesive and very well defined. This is gorgeous, real class here with
filigree tannins and a perfect sense of symmetry and focus towards the refined finish. Sheer
class. Bon vin. Drink 2014-2030+
JEAN GRIVOT Vosne Romanee 'Les Rouges' 2002 Bottle
Decanter Rating: **** (Four stars) "Brilliant wine with intense raspberry aromas; tight,
concentrated, and spicy, yet elegant and long. Drink 2008-20."
£72.95
MICHEL GROS Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru 'Clos Reas' 2006 £49.95
Bottle
The palate is laden with deep dark fruits, blackberry and spice. An effortless wine of great
proportion, so vibrant with notable persistence. As fine as many of Vosne’s premiers crus.
RENE ENGEL Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru 'Les Brulees' 2004 £39.95
Bottle
Again they have produced a wine with a deliciously perfumed and lightly spicy nose, but this
time with an extra dimension of fruit. Not a massive wine but the flavours linger in the
mouth.
ROBERT ARNOUX Vosne Romanee 'Les Suchots' 2003 Bottle £89.85
ROBERT PARKER 93 points 'Fashioned from yields 50% below normal, the 2003
Vosne-Romanee Les Suchots boasts a mouth-watering, intensely aromatic nose of waxy black
cherries, spices, and chocolate. As this broad wine enters the mouth it instantly envelopes the
palate with candied dark fruits. Concentrated, medium to full-bodied, and velvety-textured,
this admirably persistent effort lingers in the finish, displaying additional layers of red fruits
intermingled with ripe tannin. Projected maturity: 2009-2020.'

Bourgueil
DOMAINE DE LA CHEVALIERE Bourgueil 'Cassiopee' 2009 £9.95
Bottle ORGANIC
This domaine has been in the same family since 1640 and is now on it's 14th generation. They
are one of the leading producers in the area. Great wine this with surprisingly ripe fruit for a
Loire Cab Franc. Neither herbaceous nor too peppery. Cassis, a hint of red fruit, lavender, very
fruit driven, rich nose with a hint of ash and scorched earth. Palate displays nice concentration
and is quite silky. A wine that can please everyone. Great value wine.
JACKY BLOT Bourgueil 'La Pied De La Butte' 2009 Bottle
£13.95
After founding Domaine de la Taille aux Loups in 1989 and bringing its wines to international
acclaim, Loire master Jacky Blot acquired Domaine de la Butte in the appellation of Bourgueil
in the summer of 2002. He seized upon the opportunity to make equally great reds by
acquiring an ideal south-facing bloc of Cabernet Franc vines averaging 30 years. The entire
slope has a bed of limestone rock and different top-soils and microclimates. The variations
give rise to the four cuvees that Blot crafts at his Bourgeuil domaine. Le Pied de la Butte
comes from a clay-limestone soil located at the bottom (foot, pied) of the slope. The wine
offers generous, savory black cherry and cranberry fruit with a soft texture. It is vinified to be
enjoyed upon release.
Chinon
COULY DUTHEIL Chinon 'Clos de l'Echo' 2008/09 Bottle
£16.95
Nice, dark, intense with shiny ruby and purple robe. Intensely flavoured red with a complex
bouquet. Ripe and spicy with generous palate. Concentrated with elegant tannins. This is a
wine has an ageing capacity of 10 years!
COULY DUTHEIL Chinon Rouge 'Baronnie Madeleine' 2008 £12.95
Bottle
The younger generation has taken over the reins and Jacques, Bertrand and Arnaud Couly
now only produce wines made exclusively from their own grapes. We were completely
seduced by the juicy drinkablity of their delicious Chinons.
The "Baronnie Madeleine" is a blend of the best Cru's and has great charm and finesse. It has
an entrancing ruby colour, pronounced aromas of crushed flowers and wonderful flavours of
raspberries and violets. A super food wine.
COULY DUTHEIL Chinon Rouge 'Les Gravieres' 2008/09* £9.75
Bottle
Nice purple colour. Very pleasant nose with green pepper and small red fruits aromas. Fruity,
soft, easy to drink and charming.
Saumur
CHATEAU DE VILLENEUVE Saumur-Champigny 2009 Bottle
£10.95
Stunning wines! The "Petrus of Saumur Champigny" is no mean praise from the Moueix family
of Petrus fame when they talk of Jean-Pierre Chevallier. The property has 15 hectares planted
on the chalky soils on the slopes and plateau rising above the Loire river itself upstream from
Saumur. The black cherries flavours, the balance between strength and smoothness and the
silky texture of this Saumur-Champigny are proofs that this appellation knows how to
produce great wines class, purity and complexity.
France - Rhone
CAMILLE CAYRAN Cotes du Rhone 'Plan de Dieu' 2009 Bottle
£7.95
Plan de Dieu is a new Cotes du Rhone Villages since 2005. This modern vineyard produces very
fruit, full-bodied and warm wines. Purple and dense it confirmes itself as a young and
concentrated wine. Aromas of red fruits like candied cherries, strawberry jam, raspberries
and blackberries dominate the bouquet besides violets and liquorice. In the mouth it is full
with pleasant round tannins.
DOMAINE FAYOLLE Crozes Hermitage 'Clos les Cornirets’ £18.95
V-Vignes 2007 Bottle
The "Clos les Cornirets" is a parcel of old vines over 60 years. Very well stated, this vineyard in
the hills, walled on all sides, produces an exceptional Crozes-Hermitages. The low crop yields
associated with a long maceration and aging in barrels gives a complex wine, aromatic and
persistent that you can enjoy with lamb or breast of duck or goose. The "Clos Cornirets the"
sold since the year 2000, has received brilliant distinctions: Guide Hachette, Revue du Vin de
France.
ROGER SABON Rhone Rouge 'Sabounet' Vin de Table N.V.
Bottle
£6.95
Domaine Roger Sabon is one of the great names of Chateauneuf du Pape and is situated in the
heart of the village. Jean Jacques (who looks like Sven Goran Erikson) handed over all wine
making to his son Didier in 2004. The wines get great reveues from his simple Cotes du Rhone,
Lirac and of course his range of Chateauneuf. All his wines have an elegance and class that
make them drink well young. All have pronounced red fruit flavours but age beautifully, in the
case of the top wines over many decades. Sabounet is his vin de table, sold at cellar door.
However we tasted it last year and thought it so good we got him to bottle some for us! As
good as many Cotes du Rhone soft rich and hearty. This wine needs to be drunk young and to
be served during family meals or with friends. Will be good with appetizers, charcuterie etc.
