"...one that FVD's Esme Johnstone, à la sungazer, believes is richer and more profound than the 2020 incarnation and already very approachable."

A classic Pauillac expressed entirely through estate vineyard fruit and by the same winemaking team as châteaus grand vin label itself.

Another very pretty, expressive 2021 with pronounced blackberry and plum aromas and an underlying green-leaf freshness.

Expressive, vibrant nose with perfumed, floral notes enhancing blackberry, mulberry and plum aromas. Mint, mocha and exotic spice layers unfurl, leading to a rich, spicy, robustly structured palate.

Michel Guilleminot Blanc de Noirs comes from the very south of Champagne in the beautiful Vallee de l'Aube. A lovely single grower champagne made by the 4th generation Guilleminot family.

Pale gold in colour with citrus, toasted almonds and floral aromas. A full-bodied, creamy palate with nutty and lemon citrus notes. Good value and unmistakably serious white Burgundy.

Delicately aromatic with citrus, blossom and white peach notes alongside honeysuckle. The palate is fresh with apple and peach fruit, notes of hazelnut and a long, persistent finish.

Rosé champagne has a cachet and excitement about it, perhaps because it is rarer. The Guilleminot Rosé champagne made with their own Champenois pinot noir is a real treat.

"The best vines in the vineyard have produced a sensational, crimson, light, brambly red wine with a hint of raspberry and silky tannins."

One of Verona's greatest traditions made primarily Corvina grapes that are dried for 120 days before vinification, then matured in oak cask for 2 years. Full-bodied, voluptuous, wonderfully balanced.

Jancis Robinson, author and FT wine critic, has written "Nyetimber really is the Krug of England. Or should we say Krug is the Nyetimber of Champagne?"

Elegant, delicate and fresh, it works particularly well with richer foods.

Very stylish and sophisticated, with classic Napa richness and texture. Warm, intense blackcurrant fruit - heady, spicy, and almost hedonistic.

What does this one tastes like? Glorious! Dark, rich, juicy, mouthfilling with a beautifully-judged, delicately grippy structure.

"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Les Tourelles de Longueville gives aromas of crushed blackberries, warm plums and mulberries with accents of bay leaves, garrigue and cinnamon..."

"This vintage offers a complete picture of the Nebbiolo grape and of the distinctive elegance of Treiso, one of the cornerstones of the Barbaresco appellation." 94pts.

Liquorice, tar, dark berries. Such sweet fruit! Forceful, youthful, potent. The nose has headiness and fumes. There is complexity too, and it's very open for such a young Hermitage.
