A marvelous vintage in Bugundy. This domaine produces some of the most refined elegant wines on the Cotes de Nuits. A wonderful whoosh of cherries and raspberries with an enticing finish. It needed time and has come around beautifully. Enjoy!

Elegant aromas of raspberries, wild strawberries and rose petals.
A fashionable yet palatable alternative to Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Light, floral and fresh!
Cool fermentation ensures that those delicate flavours of white peach and lemon are very present. A refreshing find!
An old favourite which continues to punch above its weight. The Anney family run this excellent operation, having spent a small fortune to enable them to proudly claim “one of the finest St. Estephe Cru Bourgeois”. 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot.
Eric Leglise masterminds one of the few remaining family estates in Margaux, and lo and behold - affordable! 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and all the vineyard is cultivated organically.
St. Julien is arguably our favourite Medoc appellation with the highest proportion of Cru Classe vines. Another family estate - the Sentouts have been proprietors since the 17th Century. A good, attractive St. Julien at an accessible price!
70% Cabernet Sauvignon 30% Merlot.The perfect example of what Will and I were searching for. This Chateau highlights the peculiarities of the appellation strictures and the immense enjoyment when one discovers a gem outside the system. The estate is actually part of the vineyards of a renowned Margaux estate, but the vines are just outside the strictly drawn line.
Intense black fruits on the nose and a delightful combination of full frontal flavours with the lovely understated "Bordeaux elegance". A great vintage drinking wonderfully now!
Right next-door to Aloxe-Corton but without the price tag! Juicy summer fruits complimented by fragant violets. Drinking beautifully now!
A powerful bouquet of citrus fruits, accompanied by supple lemon and lime on the palate with Chablis' distinctive flinty finish. "Once my wine has been bottled I don't really have much more to say about it, rather I prefer to let it speak for itself" - Oliver Tricon, Domaine de Vauroux winemaker
