  2009 The Paringa Chardonnay, Paringa Estate

  £8500

  The Paringa Chardonnay is the estates top chardonnay wine and a single vineyard wine.

  The nose is highly perfumed with a complex array of white peach, pear combining with vanilla, nougat and almonds.   The palate is classic cool climate with white fleshy stone fruits, citrus notes and a savoury nutty oak flavour that is so seductive.  The rich and textured mouthfeel gives way to a lingering balanced finish.

  The name ‘The Paringa’ denotes the single-vineyard origin of this wine. Lindsay McCall planted the first vines on the Paringa Estate vineyard in 1985, with ten acres being under vine by 1990. From this site fruit of distinction is born from a combination of red volcanic (Ferrasol) soil, a north-facing aspect and altitude of 146m on Paringa Road, Red Hill South. In creating this wine viticulture and winemaking practices are approached with the intent of preserving a pure expression of the site from the soil through to bottle.

  2022 Napa Valley Chardonnay, Chateau Montelena

  £8650

  This is an incredible vintage of Chateau Montelena’s flagship Chardonnay.

  In the glass it has a bright gold in colour and is incredibly aromatic, the ripeness of the vintage is most pronounced initially; melon, perfume, and orange blossom slowly give way to fresh peach, honeysuckle and apricot. There is very little overt oak influence on the nose, although it comes across subtly in the background as pie crust and toast.

  On the palate, it’s the suppleness and silky mouthfeel that strike first, although there’s abundant mango and citrus with Meyer lemon here as well. The minerality is chalky and distinct, a beautiful contrast that layers in with the acid adding both complexity and depth.

  The finish is exceptional: There’s slightly more wood on the transition to the finish, surfacing as baking spice and crème brûlée. However, they’re handily overwhelmed by notes of Asian pear, mango and pineapple— absolutely delicious. In time, expect hazelnuts and almonds to appear.

  Dame Jane Rose, Champagne Henri Giraud *Gift Box*

  £8850

  Dame Jane Rosé is a striking and elegant expression of Champagne Henri Giraud’s deep connection to Pinot Noir and its Aÿ Grand Cru terroir. Named in tribute to the traditional terracotta amphorae (known as “Dame-Jane” in French) used in its ageing, this rosé stands apart for its purity, texture, and unique approach to maturation.

  Sourced exclusively from the historic chalk and clay-rich vineyards of Aÿ, this cuvée is composed predominantly of Pinot Noir, with a small portion of Chardonnay. What makes Dame Jane truly singular is its vinification and ageing in terracotta amphorae, which allows the wine to breathe and evolve gently without imparting oak character. This natural micro-oxygenation enhances purity, amplifies minerality, and preserves the vibrancy of the fruit, resulting in a rosé Champagne that is both structured and ethereal.

  In the glass, Dame Jane Rosé reveals a delicate rose-gold hue with a refined and persistent mousse. The nose is expressive and graceful, with layered aromas of wild strawberries, red currants, blood orange, rose petals, and a touch of crushed herbs. On the palate, it is textured yet precise, delivering juicy red berry fruit, citrus zest, and a subtle spice note, all framed by a fine mineral backbone and a long, mouthwatering finish. Its balance of creamy mouthfeel and fresh acidity speaks to both craftsmanship and terroir.

  Dame Jane Rosé is a Champagne of rare character and charm – vibrant, refined, and exquisitely detailed. It is a tribute to ancient methods, Grand Cru provenance, and the elegance of Pinot Noir in its purest form.

  2022 Meursault, Ropiteau Frères

  £8900

  Founded in 1848 by Jean Ropiteau, a visionary just 24 years old at the time, Ropiteau Frères quickly established itself as one of Burgundy’s most respected houses. The arrival of the railway into Meursault enabled the young merchant to expand the reputation of Burgundy’s wines well beyond the region’s borders. Over the decades, the house remained deeply rooted in Meursault, acquiring prestigious parcels and cellars, including a property once belonging to the Hospice de Beaune. Today, Ropiteau Frères is renowned as a specialist in the Côte de Beaune, and particularly in Meursault, crafting wines that express the richness, minerality, and nuance of this world-famous terroir.

  The 2022 Meursault from Ropiteau Frères is a textbook expression of the appellation, opulent yet finely poised. Aromas of white peach and lemon are intertwined with notes of acacia blossom and a subtle touch of almond. On the palate, it is creamy and layered, showcasing ripe stone fruit, citrus zest, and a finely textured oak presence. A vibrant mineral backbone, courtesy of the limestone-rich soils, gives lift and length, culminating in a lingering, elegant finish.

  2023 Puligny-Montrachet, Ropiteau Frères

  £9400

  The 2023 Puligny‑Montrachet presents a bright, citrus-forward bouquet of lemon and sesame blossom, layered with delicate vanilla toast from just 20% new French oak.  On the palate, it is fresh and elegantly proportioned, with invigorating acidity and a minerally spine.

  2023 Chardonnay, Far Niente

  £9500

  Aromas of citrus, melon and honeysuckle complement hints of white fig, gardenia and toasted hazelnuts on a background of mild toasted oak that adds supportive warmth and richness. A silky palate with a rich texture surrounds a sweet core of melon and citrus, with notes of white floral and toasted vanilla and spice, through to a long bright finish.

  Far Niente Chardonnay is a blend of superlative Napa Valley vineyards, many of which are located in a little-known area called Coombsville, a cool growing region nestled in the rolling countryside and protected by the hills east of the city of Napa. Coombsville offers the characteristic climate of Carneros, with less wind, along with deeper, well-drained gravelly loam and volcanic ash soils. The combination of these vineyards results in subtle, tropical flavours, complex aromas and rich texture.
