  2017 Viña Ardanza Reserva, La Rioja Alta *Jeroboam Gift Box*

  £21800

  A magnificent Jeroboam (3L) of 2017 Viña Ardanza Reserva packed in a beautiful Gift Box.

  La Rioja Alta’s Viña Ardanza Reserva is one of the finest Reserva’s available and a benchmark for the region.  Every vintage is outstanding and never fails to elicit a smile upon drinking.    La Rioja Alta is the gold standard for traditional bodegas: a winery that ages their wines the old-fashioned way, meaning three years in barrel with two rackings a year, followed by three years in bottle.

  The 2017 comprises 78% Tempranillo from Fuenmayor and Cenicero blended together with 22% Garnacha from the famous ‘La Pedriza’ vineyard in Tudelilla.

  “The nose stands out for its power, a highly complex blend of spicy and balsamic aromas of sweet liquorice, patisserie, vanilla, cinnamon, cocoa, coffee and nutmeg, and notes of stewed red fruits. Outstanding balance, pleasant freshness and great structure in the mouth, with supple, round tannins. Very pleasant mouthfeel. An ample aftertaste of spicy notes, sweet liquorice and ripe fruit makes Viña Ardanza 2015 a timeless wine, with tremendous laying-down potential and one of the best vintages of the XXI.” Head winemaker – Julio Saénz

  2018 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, Domaine Phillipe Cheron

  £22500

  Domaine Philippe Chéron is a rising star in the Côte de Nuits, rooted in a deep family heritage and driven by a modern, terroir-focused philosophy. Philippe Chéron took the reins of his family’s holdings, originally part of Domaine Misset-Chéron and Clos de la Fontaine, after working as a consulting enologist in Burgundy. His domaine now spans prestigious sites in Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée, and Nuits-Saint-Georges, with a commitment to minimal intervention, sustainable viticulture, and expressive, precise winemaking. The result is a collection of wines that are at once contemporary and classic, capturing the essence of their appellations with honesty and finesse.

  The 2018 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is a standout from the domaine’s portfolio, sourced from the vineyard’s upper section, on the border with Chambertin itself, where shallow limestone soils lend tension and elegance to the wine’s natural richness. The warm 2018 vintage is expertly harnessed here, delivering a wine of depth, harmony, and cellar-worthy stature.

  In the glass, it opens with a gorgeous aromatic profile of black cherry, wild raspberry, rose petal, and exotic spices, followed by more subtle notes of cedar, cocoa, and crushed stone. The palate is luxuriously textured yet refined, with silky tannins, ripe dark fruit, and a savoury mineral core that provides lift and length. Despite its generous fruit, this is no heavyweight; it carries its power with grace, building toward a persistent, layered finish that leaves a lasting impression of elegance and terroir.

  The 2018 Charmes-Chambertin from Philippe Chéron is a Grand Cru Burgundy of exceptional balance and character, perfect for collectors and enthusiasts seeking the intersection of classic Gevrey depth and modern winemaking clarity. Enjoy over the next 15-20 years.

  2021 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, Domaine Hubert Lignier

  £26200

  Domaine Hubert Lignier, based in the prestigious village of Morey-Saint-Denis, is one of Burgundy’s most respected domaines, known for producing Pinot Noir of structure, purity, and longevity. Founded in the early 20th century and elevated by the meticulous work of Hubert Lignier, the domaine is now led by his son Laurent Lignier, who continues the family tradition with a focus on organic farming, restrained winemaking, and uncompromising attention to terroir. With holdings in some of the most esteemed appellations of the Côte de Nuits, including several Grands Crus, the domaine consistently crafts wines that speak clearly of origin and vintage.

  The 2021 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is sourced from the southern end of the vineyard in the Mazoyères sector, an area known for producing wines of both power and finesse. In this cooler vintage, Laurent Lignier has crafted a wine of remarkable poise, graceful, structured, and deeply terroir-expressive.

  In the glass, the wine opens with an enchanting bouquet of red cherry, wild raspberry, and crushed rose petals, layered with subtle notes of liquorice, underbrush, and delicate spice. The palate is silken and refined, yet anchored by fine, chalky tannins and a vibrant mineral core. There’s a sense of quiet concentration here, not flamboyant, but profoundly persistent, with a finish that unfolds in gentle, savoury waves.

  The 2021 Charmes-Chambertin is a Grand Cru of exceptional balance and nuance, a wine of quiet intensity and superb ageing potential, reflective of both the finesse of the vineyard and the artisanal hand of one of Burgundy’s great domaines. Drink from 2026 onwards, or cellar for 15+ years to witness its full evolution.

  2023 The Chocolate Block, Boekenhoutskloof – IMPERIAL 6L

  £29995

  A Imperial / Methusaleh of South Africa’s cult wine

  The 2023 vintage of The Chocolate Block continues to build on its legacy as one of South Africa’s most iconic and sought-after red blends. Crafted predominantly from Syrah, with carefully selected additions of Grenache, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Viognier (blend proportions vary annually), this cult-status wine showcases Boekenhoutskloof’s mastery in balancing innovation and consistency. Only 4,043 barrels were produced, further enhancing its rarity and appeal.

  In the glass, the wine opens with an intensely aromatic bouquet of blackberries, blueberries, and ripe bramble fruit, intertwined with black olive tapenade, crushed violets, and a dusting of white pepper and coriander seed. The palate is rich yet polished, delivering layers of dark berry fruit, red liquorice, and cherry compote, underscored by hints of cherry tobacco and exotic spice.

  Despite its medium to full body, the wine remains elegant and focused, with vibrant acidity and silky tannins that glide across the palate. The finish is long, dry, and laced with a touch of savoury complexity, reflecting both the terroir and meticulous craftsmanship behind the blend.

  A compelling, age-worthy red that drinks beautifully now but will reward cellaring over the next 5–8 years. Ideal with flame-grilled meats, game dishes, or rich Mediterranean fare.
