Adrien Camut Calvados Pays d'Auge 6 Year Old 41% 700ml

Since the 1800s, the Camut family has grown 115 acres of apple trees in the Pays d'Auge, the finest growing region for Calvados. In Normandy, 800 types of apples are grown; the Camut family grow about 25 of these, all of which are hand-harvested.

While pears are allowed in Calvados (actually mandatory in the Domfrontais region with a minimum of 30%), only apples grown on the Camut property are used in Camut Calvados. Cider is made from these apples and … more

Alex Foillard Beaujolais Brouilly 2019

Alex Foillard's Brouilly comes from the aptly named 'La Folie' (Madness), a steep vineyard just above Reverdon. The general rule is that Brouilly is the Côte de Brouilly's slightly softer, more sensuous sibling and Foillard's is a glorious example.

"Glistening ruby. Primary red and blue fruits and succulent flowers on the mineral- and spice-accented nose. Bright, spicy and energetic on the palate, offering juicy raspberry, boysenberry and spicecake flavors that show fine clarity and deepen slowly with air. Delivers seamless … more

Alphonse Mellot Sancerre Génération Dix-Neuf 2017

Biodynamic. Together with its sister-in-arms, Cuvée Edmond, Dix-Neuf is the antithesis of modern 'textbook' Sancerre. This jaw-dropping Sancerre is drawn from the oldest vines in the Moussière vineyard (approximately 100 years of age) cropped at Grand Cru Burgundy-level yields (in fact, the lower end of this range). The wine was fermented and raised in 2,000-litre, tronconique wooden tanks for 12 months before a spell in steel, again on lees. Only 500 cases per year get to see the light of … more

Alphonse Mellot Sancerre La Moussiere 2020 375ml

Biodynamic and hand harvested. This beautiful, rolling vineyard with cultivated, incredibly rocky, limestone soils lies on the ancient Saint-Doulchard belt which forms a part of the great Kimmeridgian chain (a  la Chablis). This terroir, when coupled with this house's meticulous biodynamic farming and low yields, is responsible for some of Sancerre's most striking and atypical wines.

Those who crave substance, purity and tension in their white wines will be well up for this. As usual, 50% of this wine undergoes … more

André Bonhomme Viré-Clessé Le Coteau de l’Epinet 2014 Magnum

Pale yellow-gold color. Very ripe aromas of peach, apricot and smoky minerality are a bit more dynamic than those of the Prêtres de Quintaine. Unctuous on entry, then tighter in the middle palate, with very ripe stone fruit flavors accented by spicy oak. This thick but energetic wine shows a distinctly creamy quality for the vintage. Finishes with slowly mounting length and

considerable power. This mid-slope climat on red clay soil with small stones in the extreme north of the … more

André Bonhomme Viré-Clessé Les Hauts des Ménards 2014 Magnum

Bonhomme’s Vire-Clesse Les Hauts des Menards comes from an old parcel planted 85 years ago. The shallow clay-limestone of this fairly steep slope has a large proportion of red clay. Fermentation and maturation take place in oak casks over 24 months before bottling. The wine is naturally rich with a beautiful structure balanced by a refreshing minerality which also contributes to its satisfying length.

Anne Boisson Bourgogne Aligoté 2018

The domaine itself remains an enigma. It’s a very old-fashioned approach. There’s no website, no visits, no marketing. These folks consider themselves farmers, and truth be told probably spend as much time hunting in the Burgundy hills as anything else. But therein lies much of the charm, comparisons with Coche-Dury aside.

The wines across the three ‘labels’ are all made at the cellar in Meursault. No herbicide or fertiliser is used in the vineyard. Harvest and sorting are done manually. … more

Arnaud Lambert Saumur Breze "Clos du Midi" 2016 Magnum

"One of the most talented winemakers in the Loire - he farms his 40 hectares in a method close to biodynamic. His whole range of wines have drive, and are regularly among the best wines in and around Saumur. The whites have remarkable finesse and are extremely delicate. Also, they are chenins that are agreeable young, which is sufficiently rare as to be emphasized. His reds are at the same level. Good vine age counts for a lot, his talent … more

Baron Leopold Bordeaux Red 2018

42% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Cabernet Franc. Simply, the quintessential and classic Bordeaux drinking experience. Black, curranty fruits, green tobacco, a little leafiness, and a beautiful

profile of grainy, gravelly tannin. The Franc element gives some lovely aromatic lift; an elegant and savoury claret for easy enjoyment, on its own or with just about any classic French dish.

Benjamin Leroux Bourgogne Blanc 2019

A mini-Meursault, this is also the first Leroux Bourgogne drawn almost entirely from Estate fruit (about 90%). The vineyards are Les Millerands, Sous la Velle and Les Belles Côtes, with each parcel well sited on the Côte. Unlike the vast majority of Bourgogne—which typically hails from the plains below the D974—Leroux's vines are grown on limestone-rich terroirs above the main road. The Meursault fruit was supplemented with some 10% from the Hautes-Côtes this year. It was mostly raised in 12-hectolitre … more

Screwcap. A great mixture of sites this year includes 25% villages wines from St-Romain Sous le Château, Savigny and Monthelie. The Bourgogne-level fruit was drawn from the excellent Maison Dieu in Pommard, Mon Poulain in Volnay, Belles Côtes in Meursault and Croix Blanche in Vosne. Then there's a good glug from the Dames Huguettes vineyard which lies in the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits above Vosne-Romanée.

Make no mistake, these are serious vineyards for a wine at this level. Leroux has always … more

Benjamin Leroux Chassagne-Montrachet 1er cru Tete de Clos 2017

Outstanding! 90-93 Points - Allen Meadows, Burghound

'Soft wood frames the ultra-floral-suffused nose of pear liqueur, petrol and white and yellow orchard fruit. The impressively-scaled and lavishly rich big-bodied flavors possess evident muscle and power that really comes up on the bone dry and citrus-tinged finish that is so tightly coiled as to be somewhat strict. This will definitely require at least some patience and will need most of a decade to be at its best.' … more
