From his modest winery hidden off the beaten track in the little village of Arcenant in the Hautes Côtes de Nuits, Aurélien Verdet crafts wines of astonishing purity and precision. A highly talented young winemaker whose following is growing steadily every year, Aurélien is no exception to the adage that “Great wine is created in the vineyard”. Indeed, he lavishes great care and attention on his 5.5 ha of vines, which he farms organically to produce fruit of superb quality. The winemaking is then all about respecting that fruit to bring the terroir through, which he does with great aplomb. A rising star to watch!
From vines found in Comblachien, very close to Nuits-St-Georges, there is an unmistakable step up in quality here. Reflecting brilliantly why Aurélien Verdet is so highly regrded in the region, his Côte de Nuits Village La Prêtière offers supreme drinking pleasure with a deep and bright aromatic intensity allied to bold and expansive, pure black berry flavours. Like a “concentrate” of pinot noir, this cuvée is completed with lively freshness, structure and elegantly pure tannins.

"Fréderic Magnien is the fifth generation to run this biodynamic family estate in Morey-Saint-Denis.

2021 Aurelien Verdet, Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru, Monts Luisants 6x75cl
"Lovely juicy core of fruit, dense and powerful with broad shoulders and an understated yet firm structure, this is a broad-shouldered Morey St Denis from the rare 1er Cru Aux Monts Luisants vineyard... in Morey-St-Denis which boasts a superb position just above and as an enclave within the lauded Clos de la Roche Grand Cru. Spicy yet with a delicious core of juicy rich fruit, a lverlvety texture and a long, multi-layered finish, this is a very pleasant and complex 1er Cru." (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2021 Jean-Jacques Girard, Beaune Premier Cru, Clos du Roi Rouge 6x75cl
"Girard’s Clos de Roi has been consistently impressive since it was first made in 2007, and this vintage is no exception. Situated at the northern end of a strip of premier cru vineyards to the... west of Beaune it has produced a wine of ripe and forward dark cherry fruit that is entwined with a gentle and judicious use of oak and fresh acidity. The tannins are silky and refined boding well for a graceful future. " (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2021 Yves Boyer-Martenot, Auxey-Duresses, Les Ecussaux 6x75cl
"A new addition to our portfolio from one of the up-and-coming appellations in the Côte d'Or, Vincent's Auxey-Duresses is a blend of 50% 1er Cru fruit and 50% Villages fruit. Pretty, aromatic and... juicy with a lovely weight on the mid-palate and lightly grippy, raspy tannins. Joyful and eminently gluggable yet there is a serious, structured edge that will see it reach its peak at 5-6 years old. " (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2018 Philippe Livera (Tilleuls), Gevrey-Chambertin, Les Evocelles 1x300cl
From a vineyard high up the slope on the northern side of Gevrey-Chambertin, this is a very smart and assured wine with real presence and power. The southern exposition of the site brings striking... ripeness and intensity. Under the surface there is minerality and elegance, whilst the initial impression is expressive black fruits with a touch of liquorice. Definitely 1er Cru quality.

2020 Domaine Rossignol Trapet, Bourgogne, Rouge 12x75cl
Really bright ruby in appearance and showing notes of cherries and violets. It is a lovely harmonious wine already and shows great ripeness and expression that punches well above the weight of its modest appellation. It will be spot on for drinking when it arrives, but enjoyable for a good few years after that.

2021 Domaine Lecheneaut, Morey-Saint-Denis 6x75cl
"Once again Philip and Vincent have excelled themselves with their village Morey-St Denis. The grapes are gathered from a number of plots looking down on the village, and they have been built into a... really impressive wine. The nose is very ripe with intense concentrated cherry fruit, leading to a heady combination of assertive Morello fruit and bold ripe tannins. This was really lovely even at this stage and will undoubtedly shine brighter on its arrival. A real star from the Domaine this year." (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2020 Jean-Jacques Girard, Savigny-les-Beaune, Rouge 12x75cl
One of Savigny’s oldest domaines, originally founded in 1529. Jean-Jacques has been producing wine here as the sole proprietor since 1998, and with significant recent investment in the cellar and... winery he is producing outstanding wines. With his long experience of viticulture, Jean-Jacques firmly believes that the best wines are made in the vineyard and thus focuses his efforts on optimising the quality and health of the grapes themselves. This effort is reflected in his delightfully supple, elegant and classic wines, with his Savigny and Corton releases of particular note in 2020.
Understandably one of our most popular wines year in, year out, this is yet another status-defying example of outstanding winemaking. Deep, concentrated plum and cherry fruits with floral hints and toasted spicy notes. This is complemented by a lovely, layered structure and is already showing a silkiness to its well-framed tannins. Surprisingly accessible now, it will give huge pleasure upon arrival and equally so when in mid-term drinking thereafter. Don’t miss out!

2019 Domaine Heresztyn-Mazzini, Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru, Champonnet 6x75cl
"Delicious gorgeous purple. 100% whole bunch but smothered by the fruit. A balanced headiness if you like, and beautifully attractive. The stems add a little structure, almost some muscle to the back, which I think is valuable in these richer years." 92-95 pts., Jasper Morris MW

2021 Domaine Anne et Herve Sigaut, Chambolle-Musigny 6x75cl
"This is a model of elegance and finesse at village level. An inviting and generous nose of raspberries and violets leads to delightfully flavourful sweet fruit with refined tannins and a polished finish. This is a truly lovely wine punching well above its weight." (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2021 Philippe Livera (Tilleuls), Cote de Nuits-Villages 6x75cl
Crafted from fruit grown mostly in Brochon, a commune that, apart from Côtes de Nuits Village, can also produce Gevrey, Fixin and Bourgogne rouge - everything bar its own appellation! What does this one tastes like? Glorious! Dark, rich, juicy, mouth-filling with a beautifully-judged, delicately grippy structure. Superb.
