  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

  2012 ‘The Caley’ Cabernet & Shiraz, Yalumba

  £22400

  This is the first vintage of Yalumba’s Cabernet/Shiraz-based flagship wine, The Caley.  Named after Fred Caley Smith, grandson of Yalumba founder Samuel Smith, who was a horticulturist that had a profound impact on the development of Yalumba’s vineyards. In the early 1890’s he spent 18 months trekking across the USA, Britain, Europe, the Middle East, India and Sri Lanka, observing and reporting on scientific and horticultural developments. His detailed letters, sent home every few days, underpinned the way the vineyards were managed and laid the foundations of sustainable viticulture at Yalumba today.

  At the time of blending, the winemaking team made the following tasting notes … Deep garnet red in colour, fruit is at the core of the bouquet, all red and black currants – overlaid with savoury herbs, green spices, cedar and pipe tobacco. The palate is of sophisticated precision with a refined line. Long and textured it captures the concentrated flavours and presents them with a silken grace. Under all that supple, fleshy muscle, the wine has a strong spine, structured to last and last.

  The Caley has been sourced from three outstanding vineyards of the Coonawarra and Barossa regions. The Ming D block of the Yalumba Coonawarra vineyard provides 52% of the Cabernet Sauvignon of the blend. This 2.7ha plot was planted in 1992 with two clones of Cabernet Sauvignon selected for structure and depth of flavour. This block differs from the ubiquitous Coonawarra terroir, with a higher content of clay than the other blocks on The Menzies Estate. The Shiraz is sourced from the Burgemeister “Linke Block” between Nuriootpa and Angaston. Planted in 1901, these Shiraz vines run east-west and are on a single wire trellis. The soil is a red-brown earth in the Light Pass loamy fine sand family. There is also a component that comes from the 1971 Yalumba Horseshoe Block in Eden Valley.

  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.

  2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Gold Reserve, Carmen – 3000ml/Jeroboam

  £25000

  This single-vineyard, ultra-premium, ultra-rare jeroboam of Vina Carmen’s Gold Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon was imported by us many years ago along with a jeroboam of 2004 and has with its sibling been in our cellars ever since.   Yes, the label is slightly battered but the levels are perfect and it is a magnificent celebration drink!    As with all top end Cabernet Sauvignon it has the ability to age very well and the winemaker suggested a maturity date of 2025 for this vintage and wine.  The fact it is a Jeroboam should add another 5 years to that!    We recently opened a magnum of both the 2004 & 2005 and the wines were sensational.

  This 2005 is brimming with ripe berries, espresso, chocolate syrup and cassis with sweet, exotic spice aromas. Velvety on the palate with dense berry and mocha flavours, the tannins are powerful but ripe and the linger is substantial.  A family celebration bottle if ever there was!

  No one does Vin Santo like Avignonesi!  Crafted from only the best Trebbiano and Malvasia, the Vin Santo is dried for several months on reed mats and aged for a decade in caratelli, small 50-litre oak barrels, owing much of its character to the madre, a century-old yeast.

  The 1993 Vin Santo has a glowing brownish amber colour in the glass with an inebriating nose of fig jam, roasted apricots, smoke, and tar, a sumptuous, viscous palate of dates, figs, and dried apricots. A refreshing, invigorating acidity which maintains the balance.   Enjoyment phase: now until 2033

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.

  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.

  2021 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru, Georges Lignier

  £31500

  Situated in the heart of Morey-Saint-Denis, Domaine Georges Lignier is a fifth-generation family estate with a rich Burgundian heritage. Under the stewardship of Benoît Stehly, great-nephew of Georges Lignier, the domaine has become known for its classical, terroir-expressive Pinot Noir. With over 16 hectares of prime vineyard holdings, including several prestigious Grand Crus such as Clos de la Roche, Clos Saint-Denis, and Bonnes-Mares, the estate blends traditional techniques with a deep respect for nature and site.

  Bonnes-Mares is one of Burgundy’s most celebrated Grand Crus, straddling the border between Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis. Known for its powerful structure and ageing potential, this site produces wines of depth, minerality, and aromatic finesse. Domaine Georges Lignier’s parcel lies within the Morey-Saint-Denis sector, giving their Bonnes-Mares an added layer of earthy, muscular intensity to complement its refined floral notes.

  2002 Femme de Champagne Grand Cru Brut Nature, Champagne Duval-Leroy

  £35000

  This cuvée is a reflection of the close collaboration between Carol Duval-Leroy, President of the House and Sandrine Logette-Jardin, Head Winemaker. It is only produced in the most exceptional years. Interestingly 20% of this wine was matured in used Château d’Yquem barrels, imparting texture and richness. The three revered Chardonnay Grand Cru sites of Oger, Cramant and Le Mesnil sur Oger and the Pinot Noir Grand Cru site of Ambonnay produced the grapes for this cuvée.

  A Champagne of exceptional finesse and aromatic complexity, with brioche, hazelnut and tobacco nuances layered with minerality and wonderful depth of fruit expression. Silky and elegant with great concentration and superb length.

  2002 was a year of exceptional maturity in Champagne. Dominant winds form the north and east kept the vineyards healthy. A dry year, which lead to significant water stress during the early summer, concentrating the flavours in the juice. Harvest took place mid-September and the musts were very rich in sugar, balanced by good acidity. 2002 is considered to be the vintage of the decade; one of magnificent quality.
