  MV19 Fut de Chene, Champagne Henri Giraud

  £17500

  Prepare for one of the most extraordinary Champagne experiences, Henri Giraud’s MV19 Fût de Chêne.

  Robert Parker, two decades ago, said: “This may be the finest Champagne house virtually no one has ever heard of”. Since then, the world has heard of Henri Giraud, and especially the house’s flagship wines Fût de Chêne and Argonne, which are now world-renowned and highly sought after.

  Crafted in the Grand Cru village of Aÿ, this exceptional cuvée is a testament to the house’s unwavering dedication to terroir, where the unique characteristics of their vineyards are brought to life in every bottle. Henri Giraud is renowned for its masterful use of oak barrels sourced exclusively from the ancient Argonne Forest, where only the finest wood is selected to enhance the depth and character of their wines.

  The MV19 is a blend of one-third perpetual reserve wine, dating back to 1990, and two-thirds from the 2019 vintage. This intricate combination, aged with the utmost care, imparts a richness and complexity that is simply unparalleled.

  Sébastien Le Golvet, the cellarmaster, oversees every detail, from the geo-positioning of each oak tree in the Argonne Forest to the precise toasting of the barrels. His dedication ensures that the barrel perfectly complements the minerality-charged terroir of Henri Giraud’s Grand Cru vineyards and trees.

  This Champagne undergoes an extended ageing process, further contributing to its remarkable complexity and richness. The MV19 is the epitome of luxury, a Champagne that showcases the harmonious union of vineyard, oak, and time.

  2019 Chardonnay ‘B.A. Thieriot Vineyard’, Senses

  £18500

  This Chardonnay comes from the famed Thieriot Vineyard,over the years, the grapes from these blocks have been sold to top- class producers in the region. Vintage after vintage, this vineyard consistently produces high-scoring single vineyard wines and is renowned as being one of the premier vineyards on the Sonoma Coast.

  With incredibly salty minerality, this racy style shows beautiful lemon curd, floral notes and brioche notes through to toasty, hazelnut nuances and a rich palate with flawless balance and an exquisite finish.

  2019 stands out as one of the more exceptional vintages in recent memory. Cooler temperatures and stable weather throughout the growing season allowed for slow maturation of flavours without any heat events spiking sugar accumulation in the berries. Although 2019 also saw the devastating Kincade fire in Sonoma County, the fruit was harvested by then, so the smoke did not affect the grapes.

  2019 Pinot Noir ‘Day One’, Senses

  £18500

  Classic aromas of mulled red and black fruits, forest floor, conifer, and spiced orange carry through to a velvety palate showing wonderful purity of fruit, a precise texture and supreme balance.

  The fruit comes from the Hillcrest Vineyard, a single vineyard site purchased by Myles’ parents, Carleton Briggs and Lisa Lawrence in 1988. Located just outside of Occidental, this site borders the Charles Heintz Vineyard to the west and is home to the original Chardonnay planting in the West Sonoma Coast. It has however since been replanted to Pinot Noir, which thrives in the warm microclimate which is tempered by the cool, coastal breezes and the trademark fog that lingers over the vineyards, bringing moisture and cooling the vines. The result is a long hang-time, during which the vines slowly build aromatic complexity, concentrated flavours, superbly balanced by natural, acidity.

  2020 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, Domaine Hubert Lignier

  £18900

  Nestled in the heart of Morey-Saint-Denis, Domaine Hubert Lignier is a benchmark estate of the Côte de Nuits, celebrated for crafting terroir-driven, age-worthy Pinot Noir. Founded in the early 20th century, the domaine rose to prominence under the guidance of Hubert Lignier, whose dedication to traditional viticulture and minimal-intervention winemaking earned international acclaim. Today, his son Laurent Lignier carries on the legacy, farming organically and working with a deep respect for the land and the nuances of each vineyard. With holdings in some of Burgundy’s most prestigious crus, including Clos de la Roche, Charmes-Chambertin, and Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Crus, the domaine delivers wines of exceptional depth, purity, and finesse.

  The 2020 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is the crown jewel in the estate’s lineup, sourced from one of Burgundy’s most powerful and complex Grand Cru sites. Clos de la Roche, situated in Morey-Saint-Denis, is renowned for its ability to deliver both muscular structure and aromatic elegance, and Lignier’s interpretation is a masterclass in balance and restraint.

  In the glass, this wine reveals an alluring bouquet of black cherry, wild berries, violet, and crushed rose petals, wrapped in earthy notes of graphite, forest floor, and subtle spice. The palate is intense and multi-layered, with a core of ripe, dark fruit framed by firm yet velvety tannins and a vibrant mineral tension. It carries both the density of the vintage and the precision for which the domaine is known, building toward a long, stately finish that echoes with power and poise.

  The 2020 Clos de la Roche is a wine of great stature and longevity, one that will benefit from cellaring over the next two decades, yet already hints at its profound complexity. A truly grand expression of Grand Cru Burgundy, from a domaine that consistently delivers wines of soul and substance.

  1991 Occhio di Pernice, Avignonesi, 375ml

  £19500

  The Occhio di Pernice is made from Sangiovese grapes, locally known as Prugnolo Gentile.   It undergoes the same process as the Vin Santo, resulting in a wonderful array of liquid caramel, candied berry fruits and plum marmalade.

  The winemaking process is fascinating and starts with the grapes being carefully placed in small wooden boxes.  They are then laid out on straw mats to dry and only pressed the following spring. The winemaker receives only small amounts of juice, but it is full of extracts and with a very high density (Oechsle).  The grape must is then sealed for 10 years in used wooden barrels called Caratelli where it vinifies and matures in them without the barrels ever being opened. The Occhio di Pernice Vin Santo then matures in the bottle for a further six months before release.

  The name Occhio di Pernice means “eye of the partridge” in German and is derived from the amber colour of the grapes as they ripen.

  2019 Chardonnay ‘Vine Hill Vineyard’, Kistler

  £19500

  2019 marks the 40th vintage of Kistler and what a vintage it is!

  “This is a gorgeous set of wines from Kistler. The 2019 Chardonnays show the pedigree of the vintage in their nuance, character and site expression.”   Antonio Galloni of Vinous.com

  The 2019 Vine Hill Vineyard Chardonnay as described by the winemaker: Green-tinged pale yellow. Bold aromas of freshly peeled Gravensteins, lime blossom, powdered rock, deep earthen undertones and roasted grains. Expressive and deeply concentrated while tightly wound given its low pH nature. A long lingering finish speaks to the purity of the extract. One of the best examples of the mineral tones informed by the growing medium of certain soils and a classic manifestation of the seamless tension between weight and energy from the sands of the Vine Hill Vineyard.

  2012 Estate Pinot Noir, Magnum, Paringa

  £19500

  A magnificent aged magnum of Pinot Noir from an Iconic cool climate Estate in the Mornington Peninsula.

  The Paringa team is confident the 2012 reds will be regarded amongst the Paringa greats. A hot weekend, then a week of solid rains in early March was followed by somewhat of an Indian summer. Pinot Noir yields in 2012 were down 20 – 30%, but resulted in great concentrated flavour & excellent overall quality. In the winery berries were de-stemmed (100%) and fermented in two-tonne open fermenters. Maturation took place over 11 months on lees in French Oak barrels (50% new). This wine has complex lifted aromas of red fruit / dark cherries supported by spicy savoury oak. The palate has attractive spicy dark cherry flavours, fine grained tannins that combine to produce a lovely textural mouthful. The poise & balance of this wine make it one of the best Paringa Pinots made in recent time.

  The vineyard is set in the classic cool climate subregion of Red Hill at an altitude of 146 metres above sea level. The Pinot Noir vines are aged between 20 and 30 years; six clones are planted each with subtle characteristics which impart complexity to the resulting wine. The soil is a deep red volcanic clay that allows dry farming, without irrigation. Founder, Lindsay McCall, still tends to the vineyard characterised by its distinctive Lyre or ‘U’ trellis system which sits on an elaborate steel frame assembly.

  2021 Shiraz ‘1915 Helbig ‘, Elderton

  £21000

  A single vineyard selection of truly remarkable Shiraz that was planted by the Helbig family in 1915. This vineyard is located on the western ridge of the famous Barossa Valley and has been a highly sought-after parcel for many of the Barossa’s leading winemakers. Luckily for the Ashmead family, they were able to acquire this vineyard in 2010, forever ending the race to get this amazing fruit.

  In the glass, the wine presents a deep, inky crimson core with a vibrant purple rim, hinting at its youthful vitality and richness. The nose is an intense bouquet of ripe black plums and spiced red berries, layered with dark chocolate, liquorice, and a touch of clove. Subtle hints of vanilla and freshly turned earth add intrigue and complexity.

  The palate is full-bodied and opulent, unfurling in waves of brooding dark fruit, think blackberry, cassis, and mulberry, all beautifully integrated with nuances of dark cocoa and savoury spice. A refined chalky minerality underpins the wine’s structure, while velvety, persistent tannins carry it to a long and seamless finish. There is immense power here, yet the wine moves with precision and grace, showcasing the remarkable harmony between fruit intensity, texture, and finesse.

  Poised for a long life ahead, the 2021 Helbig 1915 Shiraz is seriously delicious now, but will evolve magnificently over the next 15 to 20 years.
