Gorgeous pinot purity on the nose, giving crushed strawberry, rose petal and a wisp of vanilla. Rounded on the palate, medium-bodied, with marmalade notes tinging the dark berry fruit. Deliciously bitter red/dark cherry finishing up. Superb.

2021 Domaine Rossignol-Trapet, Beaune Premier Cru, Les Teurons 6x75cl
"Nicholas and David’s plot in “Les Teurons” is around 1.2-hectares and was planted in 1978 in a well-sited stony-rich site close to sheltering woods, The wine has a perfumed toasted cherry... nose, with an added peppery sappiness and delightful tension. There are bright red berries on the palate, which are underpinned with a crunchy and precise balance of oak and fresh acidity. It is so well put together and will unfold in a few years to give enormous pleasure." (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

"Comparatively richer and more textured for a 2021, but still with the vintage's undeniable elegance and luminous red-fruit layers. Refined tannins on a luscious palate and polished finish makes for an irresistible Chambolle." (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2020 Benjamin Leroux, Bourgogne, Rouge 6x75cl
Benjamin has been a good friend of ours since his days at Comte Armand, and his powerful, impressive winemaking style shines through in 2020 where concentration meets with backbone and guile in the... Volnay commune. He remembers his first ever visit to the UK back in 1999 where he spent some time staying with Richard Wheeler (Johnny's father, sadly passed away last year), memorable not least for the friendly dispute regarding the relative merits of local Mersea native Oysters versus their French counterparts! Benjamin’s Volnay 1er Cru Les Mitans reflects the greatest attributes of this excellent vintage. Density, richness and structure are all to the fore in a cuvée which gets better with every passing vintage.
As Bourgogne Rouge goes, the underlying quality in this one has it already scaling the appellation ladder. Expertly selected pepper-potting of different sites from across the Hautes Côtes and Côte de Beaune, together with village wines from Pommard and further afield, provides Benjamin with the palate on which to create this outstanding introduction to his range. Ripe, heady and full of immediately accessible crunchy strawberry and violet fruit, the very soft tannins and a delightful freshness hold it all together. Smiles all 'round - unmissable!

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)

2021 Domaine Anne-Francoise Gros, Chambolle-Musigny 6x75cl
To be supplied Intriguing aromatic complexity with a floral abundance that continues on to a palate of fresh, crushed, summer-berry fruit that is intense, sleek and deliciously lingering. Elegant, pure, generous. (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2019 Jean-Jacques Girard, Savigny-les-Beaune Premier Cru, Aux Fourneaux 6x75cl
"Cask sample. Mid crimson. Aroma of sweet oak spice, invitingly fruity – red fruits. Creamy, velvet-like texture, juicy and fresh, lively too. Just a very slight bitterness on the finish, as with the straight Savigny, but that does increase the freshness." 16pts., Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com

2021 Domaine Rossignol-Trapet, Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru, Clos Prieur 6x75cl
"Delicate and refined, it provides the yin to the yang of its more robust neighbour, Petite Chapelle, giving us once again an open and aromatic style of Gevrey. There is a great weight of fruit with... plenty of tension and underlying power, but it is overlaid with a real elegance and subtly that sets it apart from its more muscular compatriots. Delightful."

2020 Domaine Heresztyn-Mazzini, Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru, La Perriere 6x75cl
This wine comes from a great vineyard scattered with small stones and abutting the grand cru of Mazis-Chambertin. It creates a very elegant and dynamic wine with delicious layers of morello cherry and fresh herbs that are tempered by a delightful freshness and complexity. A wonderful example to be savoured over the next 10 to 15 years.

2021 Domaine Morey Coffinet, Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru, Morgeot Rouge 6x75cl
"From Francemont, close to the border with Santenay. A little more depth of colour and nearly as delicious a nose as the Clos St-Jean. This is still a fine rather than a muscular Morgeot, on the... raspberry side. On the palate the Morgeot character does assert itself with muscular tannins. Needs longer than Clos St-Jean, and while it will never be as elegant there is good potential here." 90-92 pts., Jasper Morris MW,
