    2020 Aloxe-Corton Vielles Vignes, Domaine Edmond Cornu

    £5200

    The 2020 Aloxe-Corton Vieilles Vignes from Domaine Edmond Cornu & Fils is a bold and expressive Pinot Noir that captures the essence of Burgundy’s northern Côte de Beaune. Nestled in the village of Ladoix-Serrigny, Domaine Edmond Cornu & Fils is a family-run estate with deep roots in the region, known for producing traditionally styled, terroir-driven wines across several revered appellations. Now led by Pierre Cornu, the domaine is celebrated for its sustainable vineyard practices, old-vine holdings, and commitment to classic Burgundian craftsmanship.

    Sourced from vines aged 40 to 60 years in prestigious parcels such as Les Cras, Les Brunettes et Planchots, and Les Morais, the 2020 Aloxe-Corton Vieilles Vignes offers a striking combination of power and refinement.

    In the glass, it reveals a deep ruby hue and a brooding aromatic profile of ripe black cherry, crushed blackberry, and dried violet, underpinned by earthy undertones of forest floor, leather, and a touch of roasted spice. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with dense dark fruit, firm but well-integrated tannins, and a rustic minerality that speaks to its silex and marl-rich soils. A tangy edge and vibrant acidity provide lift and balance, leading to a long, savoury finish.

    This Aloxe-Corton will pair beautifully with game, roasted meats, and mature cheeses, and it promises excellent ageing potential for those patient enough to cellar it.

    Summus, Latin for “highest.” is a wine of towering elegance and was the first Super Tuscan produced in Montalcino (1985)

    2020 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Xanadu

    £6900

    The Quintessential Margaret River Cabernet, with perfumed black fruit aromas and a generous, velvety palate packed with irresistible dark forest fruit and chocolate characters.

    The Reserve range continues to be the best of what Xanadu are able to produce in a given vintage – single vineyard or otherwise. Fruit was predominantly sourced from two mature, dry grown vineyards; Timber Creek, in the Wilyabrup subregion; and Victory Point in the Treeton subregion of Margaret River and was supplemented with a small amount of Malbec from the Stevens Road vineyard in Wallcliffe. The resulting blend from these vineyards has married beautifully, proving again that sometimes ‘the whole is greater than the sum of its parts’.

    2020 Command Shiraz, Elderton

    £7900

    The 2020 Elderton Command Shiraz stands as a testament to the Barossa Valley’s rich winemaking heritage and Elderton’s commitment to excellence. Sourced exclusively from a single block of the Nuriootpa estate, planted in 1894 and classed as an Ancestor Vineyard under the Barossa Old Vine Charter, this wine represents over a century of viticultural excellence and family legacy.

    Crafted by the second generation of the Ashmead family, Allister and Cameron, this iconic Shiraz continues the vision set by their parents – to produce one of the great wines of the world. Since its first release in 1984, Command has garnered a reputation as one of Australia’s most celebrated and collectable Shiraz wines.

    In the glass, the nose is rich and brooding, layered with dark, concentrated fruits and lifted by intriguing notes of roasted coffee bean. On the palate, plush flavours of spiced plums and cloves unfold, supported by a fine seam of black forest character. Bold, yet beautifully poised, the tannin structure is firm but polished, carrying the wine to a seamless, long finish underscored by remarkable fruit purity and complexity.

    This vintage is poised for longevity, with the structure and depth to evolve gracefully over the next 15 to 20 years. While already impressive in its youth, it will reward careful cellaring, unfolding further nuance and finesse with time. A truly remarkable wine that captures the soul of its historic vineyard and the enduring spirit of the Elderton estate.

  • <a href="https://wine-republic.co.uk/product/2020-chardonnay-russian-river-valley-senses/">2020 Chardonnay, Senses</a> White Wine

    2020 Chardonnay, Senses

    £7995

    A beautifully textured Chardonnay with bright crunchy fruit notes complemented by hints of honeysuckle, lime blossom and beeswax through to a gingery kick on the finish.

    2020 shows excellent concentration and very clean fruit, which makes for age-worthy Chardonnay with high acidity and ripe fruit characteristics.

    The grapes come from three different vineyards within the Russian River Valley AVA, but predominantly from Bush Vineyard, near Dutton Ranch where the clones are mainly Old Wente and Hyde. Renowned as being one of California’s coolest and foggiest AVAs, the microclimate creates the perfect conditions for producing highly acclaimed Chardonnay, with warm days and cool nights. The warm climate is tempered by the cool, coastal breezes and the trademark fog that lingers over the vineyards, brings moisture and has a cooling effect on the vines. The result is a long hang-time, during which the vines slowly build aromatic complexity, concentrated flavours, superbly balanced by natural, crisp freshness.

  • <a href="https://wine-republic.co.uk/product/2021-napa-valley-chardonnay-chateau-montelena/">2021 Napa Valley Chardonnay, Chateau Montelena</a> Wine Republic Heros White Wine

    2021 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.

  • <a href="https://wine-republic.co.uk/product/2018-brunello-di-montalcino-sesti/">2020 Brunello di Montalcino, Sesti</a> Red Wine

    2020 Brunello di Montalcino, Sesti

    £8900

    Crafted in the historic heart of Tuscany, the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino from Sesti is a powerful yet refined expression of place, tradition, and visionary winemaking. The Sesti estate lies within the ancient walls of Castello di Argiano, a 13th-century fortress perched above the Orcia River, once part of a strategic chain of sight-and-defense castles. This remarkable setting mirrors the timeless character of the wines it produces.

    Founded by Giugi Sesti, a Venetian-born astronomer and opera impresario, the estate has long embraced a philosophy rooted in natural rhythm and artistic expression. Today, under the expert guidance of his daughter Elisa Sesti, the winery continues to produce wines of exceptional purity and poise, firmly placing Sesti among the most respected names in Montalcino.

    The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is captivating from the first pour – rich, full-bodied, and exquisitely balanced. The nose reveals layers of blackberry, wild herbs, and spice, wrapped in a savoury, earthy complexity that speaks of its noble terroir. On the palate, it is structured and powerful, yet retains an elegant flow, with fine tannins and vibrant acidity driving a long, resonant finish.

    A Brunello of remarkable depth and beauty, this vintage is already jaw-droppingly delicious, but promises even greater rewards with time.

    2020 Q Class Pinot Noir, Magnum, Simpsons Wine Estate

    £12000

    Simpsons’ Q Class Pinot Noir will only be produced in remarkable years, in order to showcase the Simpsons’ hallmark of quality, luxury and finesse.  Limited to 1000 bottles.  The Q Class wines are named after the Q Class engines which traversed the Canterbury to Folkestone light railway in the late 19th and early 20th Century.

    In the glass, it has an evocative bouquet of English hedgerow, from woodland bramble to delicate violet, rose and hints of cocoa, with warm earthiness, supple tannins, and notes of wild raspberry leading to a generous finish.

    The Simpsons’ vineyards occupy glorious positions on the sunny, sheltered slopes of the North Downs of Kent, protected from the whimsy of the English climate by ancient woodland and anchored in the iconic chalky soils so highly revered in the world of both still and sparkling wine. On their French wine estate, the award-winning Domaine Sainte Rose in the Languedoc region, the Simpsons have always pursued the cleaner, truer flavours of the grape, and are now bringing this savoir-faire to their English vineyards. With rootstock meticulously matched to the soil and a new world-class winery just minutes from the vines, quality is the watchword.

  • <a href="https://wine-republic.co.uk/product/2020-blanc-etc-domaine-didier-dagueneau/">2020 Blanc Etc, Domaine Didier Dagueneau</a> Wine Republic Heros White Wine

    2020 Blanc Etc, Domaine Didier Dagueneau

    £12700

    Pouilly Fumé and Sancerre are the global benchmarks for Sauvignon Blanc, and there is no bigger name or more highly regarded producer in the area than Domaine Didier Dagueneau. Now under the guidance of Didier’s talented son Louis-Benjamin, the wines still follow his ethos that authentic Pouilly Fumé requires healthy fruit from low yielding, old vines to produce the purest, and most intense and vibrantly fresh wine. That’s not to say these wines are typical of the appellation. Given the severely low yields and approach to élevage, Dagueneau wines emphasise a creamy texture rather than bracing acidity, and combine mineral flavours with exotic fruits to supreme effect.

    Previously labelled as Blanc Fumé de Pouilly, now reborn as Blanc Etc… and looking better than ever. Generally speaking this is the most approachable wine in the range, and since Louis-Benjamin came aboard the wine is now far closer in quality and class to the other releases. While each of the other wine focus on a single soil type or terroir, Blanc etc… blends some young vine parcels on their Saint-Andelain hill with two parcels planted on flinty clay and limestone white clay soils nearby. It was fermented in a mix of new and three-four year old barrels and then matured in both wood and tank.

    2020 Hermitage Blanc, Domaine Des Martinelles, *Magnum*

    £13500

    Signed by winemaker Pascal Fayolle.

    This white Hermitage is 100% Marsanne from 45 year old vines. The wine is aged on the fine lees for 18 months in oak barrels giving richness to the palate.

    In the glass, it has wonderful golden colour with an intense and powerful nose. Toasted notes with fruity, floral and buttery nuances. The mouth is rich, wide and very long. The final is long with a beautiful mineral weft.   This is a wine with great ageing potential

    The Hermitage Appellation extends over the hills that dominate the City of Tain l’Hermitage on 136 Ha, on three municipalities of the Drôme: Tain l’Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage and Larnage, on the left bank of the Rhône. The vineyard that this wine is made from is a very small old south facing vineyard that’s dates back to antiquity.

  • <a href="https://wine-republic.co.uk/product/2020-pouilly-fume-pur-sang-didier-dagueneau/">2020 Pouilly Fume Pur Sang, Domaine Didier Dagueneau</a> Wine Republic Heros White Wine

    2020 Pouilly Fume Pur Sang, Domaine Didier Dagueneau

    £14900

    Pouilly Fumé and Sancerre are the global benchmarks for Sauvignon Blanc, and there is no bigger name or more highly regarded producer in the area than Domaine Didier Dagueneau. Now under the guidance of Didier’s talented son Louis-Benjamin, the wines still follow his ethos that authentic Pouilly Fumé requires healthy fruit from low yielding, old vines to produce the purest, and most intense and vibrantly fresh wine. That’s not to say these wines are typical of the appellation. Given the severely low yields and approach to élevage, Dagueneau wines emphasise a creamy texture rather than bracing acidity, and combine mineral flavours with exotic fruits to supreme effect.

    Pur Sang is a superstar in the Dagueneau cellar, and is widely considered one of the great white wines of the world.

    Pur Sang translates as thoroughbred, this wine coming from a densely planted, 30-year-old vineyard called La Folie, five kilometres north of Saint-Andélain. Hidden between two parcels of woodland, the vineyard – whose name literally translates as `madness` – is named for the local farmers who thought Didier Dagueneau was crazy when he purchased the land, which was not a vineyard and was full of huge boulders. It was not even registered as part of the Pouilly-Fumé appellation. But Didier had done his homework, as not only was La Folie an historical Pouilly vineyard, but its vein of pure flint, as well as its gently sloping, south/south-east exposure, made it potentially one of Pouilly’s finest. Very pale colour, aromas recall grilled pink grapefruit with a hint of white peach – beautifully expressive. Palate is full, having a rich, floral, complex, aromatic core, creamy texture, and a satisfyingly long finish.
