    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.

    2016 Cabernet Sauvignon, Inglenook

    £8950

    Founded in 1879, Inglenook is one of Napa Valley’s most historic and revered estates. Under the visionary stewardship of filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola since 1975, the estate has been meticulously restored to its former glory, with a focus on producing world-class, organically farmed wines from its Rutherford vineyards.

    The 2016 Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterclass in balance and varietal purity. Aromatically precise, it opens with vibrant notes of ripe black cherry and blackberry, complemented by subtle hints of garrigue, lavender, thyme, and bay leaf that add depth and intrigue. The palate is finely tuned and seamless, with polished tannins and a supple texture that carries layers of dark fruit, cassis bud, and a whisper of savoury herbs. Oak is impeccably integrated, supporting the wine’s structure without overwhelming its elegance. The finish is long, fragrant, and composed, a hallmark of both the vintage and the estate’s restrained, classical approach. This is a Cabernet of remarkable finesse and ageing potential, offering a refined expression of Inglenook’s historic vineyards.

    2008 The Paringa Pinot Noir, Paringa Estate

    £9500

    Paringa’s and arguably Australias top Pinot Noir – made from barrels which were selected as clearly superior at the time of blending and bottling. The wine has rich powerful aromas of spice and dark cherry, combined with charry oak, secondary barrel-ferment mocha/coffee characters that will integrate further to become more Burgundian like with bottle age. On the palate the wine has rich ripe fruit, firm fine-grained tannins helping provide excellent texture and length.

  • <a href="https://wine-republic.co.uk/product/2004-gregor-shiraz-hobbs/">2004 Gregor Shiraz, Hobbs</a> Red Wine

    2004 Gregor Shiraz, Hobbs

    £9500

    This outstanding aged Shiraz from Hobbs is made using the Appassimento style and matured for approximately 24 months in French oak.

    Appassimento wines are produced through a process of partially rack-drying grapes to increase concentration of both natural grape flavours and sugars.  The result is a wine of atypical power, concentration and alcohol content with an ability to benefit from long periods of maturation.

    Named in honour of a very fond memory from early in Greg and Allison’s relationship – a skiing instructor who had a hard time pronouncing ‘Gregory’.

  • <a href="https://wine-republic.co.uk/product/2020-chardonnay-far-niente/">2023 Chardonnay, Far Niente</a> White Wine

    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.

    2014 Chardonnay ‘Durell Vineyard’, TOR

    £9500

    Ed Durell planted the first vines in the rock-strewn, windy hills in 1979. Today, Durell Vineyard spans three AVAs: Sonoma Valley, Sonoma Coast and Carneros. The block TOR sources from lies in the famed Sand Hill section of the vineyard, which overlooks the Sonoma Valley. This 2014 Durell Chardonnay ranks among the best they have ever produced. “This has the classic seamless, almost oily palate weight and texture to it that the best Durells have but with a thread of focus that helps to pull the intensity of the palate together. This shows mandarin oranges, stone fruits and an almost cut wet grass note to it.

    2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes, Sylvain Debord

    £9500

    The 2023 Vieilles Vignes opens with refined aromas of toasted hazelnut, light vanilla, lemon blossom, and white peach. On the palate, it balances rich texture with fresh minerality, creamy mid-palate complexity meets a sharply defined infrastructural backbone of citrus acidity. Flavours of almond pastry, subtle brioche, and an undercurrent of wet stone lead to a long, clean, and elegant finish. Structured yet expressive, this village-level wine delivers excellent ageing potential.

    This Chassagne Montrachet is a blend of three different climats within the appellation, each imparting subtle nuances to the wine in terms of minerality, acidity and body, resulting in complexity and balance. The old vines are grown in complex, stony clay and limestone soils and are densely planted.

  • <a href="https://wine-republic.co.uk/product/2018-cabernet-sauvignon-stags-leap-district-chimney-rock/">2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District, Chimney Rock</a> Wine Republic Heros Red Wine

    2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District, Chimney Rock

    £11700

    The Chimney Rock Estate is blessed with a diversity of soil and topography that breeds complexity into the wines. To the east, steep hills and shallow soils bring density and power. On the north end, the proximity to the Palisades brings with it ripeness and purity of fruit. To the south, proximity to the bay brings breezes that add the nuance of cooler climate – adding hints of dried herbs and mint. It is this diversity that has enabled the winemakers to represent the quintessence of Stags Leap District – the tension between grace and power, the balance of finesse and muscle.

    This wine opens in the glass with abundant aromas of blackcurrant and cherry, with hints of mocha, vanilla and floral. On the palate it is rich and savoury with plum and black cherry flavours and hints of dried fig, vanilla, and floral. On the palate this wine is smooth and viscous in the midpalate, full-bodied, and the tannin structure is firm but very polished. Recommend decanting.

  • <a href="https://wine-republic.co.uk/product/2014-dolce-far-niente/">2017 Dolce, Far Niente</a> Wine Republic Heros Dessert Wine, Port & Dessert Wine

    2017 Dolce, Far Niente

    £12000

    Dolce is Napa’s true Sauternes-style dessert wine.  Dolce embraces the pursuit of perfection in the art of late harvest winemaking. Created in 1985 by the partners of Far Niente, Dolce stands as a standard-bearer for this type of wine in America. With a classic blend of late harvest Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc inspired by the Sauternes region, Dolce is the only American winery dedicated to producing a single late harvest wine.

    After nearly three years in French oak, this luxurious vintage shows lifted and youthful aromas of orange zest, vanilla bean and butterscotch with subtle notes of minerality and oak-derived spices. The entry is juicy, and Dolce’s signature texture is lively and enduring on the palate leading to a mouthwatering finish. Flavours of orange, pear and dried apricot mingle together with rich caramel notes and hints of minerals that make this vintage a delicious expression of the season’s exceptional ripeness.

    Dolce’s 20 acres of vineyard are located in Coombsville, east of the city of Napa, and are situated at the base of the Vaca Mountains, which define the eastern border of the valley. The volcanic soil is loose and well-drained, and the west-facing vineyard is protected from the prevailing winds so that the damp, morning fog of autumn (a very important factor in the development of Botrytis cinerea) hangs longer amongst the vines, often until midday. A combination of high humidity followed by drying conditions encourages, but does not guarantee, the growth of Botrytis. As it develops, its coverage is seemingly random with individual berries succumbing to Botrytis at different rates, if at all.

    The 2010 Nyetimber 1086 Rosé presents a luminous copper-rose hue, indicative of its maturity and depth. The nose is expressive, offering aromas of wild strawberry, blackcurrant, and elderberry, interwoven with hints of juniper, Earl Grey tea, and brioche. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with silky phenolics and juicy acidity. Flavours of red cherry, rhubarb, and lemon zest are complemented by a mineral undertone, leading to a long, refined finish. This rosé is a testament to the complexity and ageing potential of English sparkling wines.
