Interim Price List Autumn 2019

Pure passion and enthusiasm drives us at H2Vin for unearthing under-the-radar producers and their wines - wines that offer a real sense of place, reflecting their precise origins with clarity & authenticity. Whilst our specialist focus remains the Loire, Burgundy, the Rhône & Spain, we continue to find exciting, artisan producers in an increasingly diverse range of wine producing regions. Many of these domaines and estates are family owned, follow an organic or biodynamic philosophy, with the discipline and rigour of all never in doubt. Due to their often low-interventionist approach, the personalities of their wines shout loud and clear!

Another busy year has passed whilst improving our portfolio further adding several new producers to our list! We're always on the lookout for brilliant Burgundy at an affordable price and we are delighted to welcome the new Mercurey from Domaine De Suremain, textbook Côte Chalonnaise. Further South Beaujolais producer Stéphane Aviron in partnership with Nicolas Potel hits the ground running with a top Fleurie ‘Vieilles Vignes’ made from well-sited vines of more than 40 years of age. We are lucky to work with many great southern Rhône producers and this year we will list some of the fabulous 2015 and 2016 vintages, amongst the best of the last 30 years. After 2 or 3 difficult years due to frost or hail several Loire and Burgundy Domaines have seen the volume back to somewhat normal levels, meaning we will have a little more of our favourite wines like Sancerre from Domaine Vacheron, Montlouis from Francois Chidaine and Saumur from Romain Guiberteau and many others. 2018 hasn’t been an easy vintage in France, with many regions affected by mildew, especially the southern Rhône and Languedoc but also parts of the Loire and several other regions; fortunately for many producers the flowering was good, there was very little if any frost damage and the summer was on form. All these factors resulted in a beautiful and often plentiful harvest with wines showing a lot of ripeness and good balance. Our new UK addition of note this year is the Pinot Blanc/Pinot Gris blend ‘Cradle Valley White’ wine from Rathfinny Estate in Alfriston, Sussex. Still in reference to our biggest changes are in our Spanish portfolio that has seen the number of producers grow last year from 6 to 33 with the integration of Bruno Murciano’s DeVinos portfolio. We are so happy in being able to offer wines now from most corners of Spain. With 7 producers from Galicia, 4 from Rioja and many more we sincerely hope we’ll have wines for the most demanding of Spanish aficionados…

Champagne Jean de Villaré, Charly sur Marne, Vallée de la Marne

Champagne Jean de Villaré is produced by Baron-Fuente in the Vallée de la Marne, where Pinot Meunier is king. Their Grande Réserve Brut is a blend representative of the region, with a strong Pinot Meunier dominance and much finesse from the 35% Chardonnay in the blend.

Champagne Dehours, Cerseuil, Mareuil-le-Port, Vallée de la Marne (P)

“Jérôme Dehours is one of the most imaginative and ambitious producers in the village of Cerseuil, reputed for the high class of its Pinot Meuniers.”

Bettane & Desseauve, June 2015

Jérôme Dehours believes in the Pinot Meunier grape and low dosage. His 14 hectares of family-owned vineyards are located in the heart of Cerseuil, in the Vallée de la Marne, the best area for Pinot Meunier and he fully exploits its true potential. Vinifying small parcels, he produces some excellent single vineyard cuvées, as well as a very successful blend. Jérôme’s Extra Brut shows all the characteristics of Pinot Meunier with fine minerality and iodine notes.

Champagne Deutz, Aÿ, Vallée de la Marne

“Deutz produces wines at the more elegant end of the spectrum, expressing finesse rather than power and concentration.” Tim Atkin MW, TimAtkin.com May 2014

As one of the oldest Grandes Marques, Champagne Deutz has been making their distinctive, carefully crafted Champagnes in Ay, Vallée de la Marne, since 1838. With Fabrice Rosset now at the helm, Deutz continues its tradition of producing wines characterised by their finesse, elegance and complexity. The house owns vineyards in some of the finest sites of Champagne and works closely with its grape growers to ensure quality and authenticity. Their special cuvées ‘William Deutz’ and ‘Amour de Deutz’ are testaments to the house’s meticulous winemaking and patience.

Champagne Larmandier-Bernier, Vertus, Côte des Blancs (B)

“Larmandier-Bernier is a huge favourite with me. The quality of the wines is stupendous and joyful.” Jancis Robinson MW, Purple Pages of JancisRobinson.com

Averaging 33 years of age, Larmandier-Bernier’s 15 hectares of vineyards lie on the spectacular terroirs of the Côte des Blancs: Vertus, a 1er cru village, as well as the Grand Crus Cramant, Chouilly, Oger and Avize. According to Pierre and Sophie Larmandier, “the creation of a great Champagne, like the creation of any great wine, begins in the vineyard.” This philosophy is why they manage their vineyards biodynamically, harvesting their grapes manually at optimal ripeness to produce extraordinary expressions of each terroir. Fermentations using natural yeasts in a mixture of stainless steel vats, wooden casks and barrels, together with long, slow ageing at either Brut Nature (0g/l) or Extra Brut (2-5g/l) allows for the clearest of expressions.

Rathfinny Estate, Alfriston, Sussex

“The long and short of it is that they are very good, and this sizeable estate is a very welcome addition to the English and Welsh wine scene. We need more top quality, professional, ambitious players, and if Rathfinny’s subsequent releases are as good as these first

ones, they are playing at the top end, along with the likes of Nyetimber, Hambledon, Ridgeview and Gusbourne.” Jamie Goode, wineanorak.com April 2018

The Rathfinny Wine Estate was established by Mark & Sarah Driver in 2010 with the express intention of producing some of the world’s best sparkling wine. Located near Alfriston in the South Downs of Sussex; one of England’s exceptional natural landscapes; Rathfinny occupies a perfect south-facing slope just three miles from the sea. Its climate, chalk soils and aspect make it probably the most perfect place to produce wine in a region that is already producing some of the best, award winning English sparkling wines. With a state-of-the-art winery capable of producing over one million bottles annually, the Drivers’ aim to achieve quality levels that will see their Sussex Sparkling wine gain international recognition. The region is now widely regarded as producing some of the world’s best sparkling wines and has the ultimate intention of making “Sussex” synonymous with high quality English Sparkling Wines. Rathfinny’s first 50 acres of vines were planted in April 2012 in the full expectation of having up to 400 acres of the 600 acre Estate under vines. June 2018 sees the very first launch of Rathfinny Sussex Sparkling wine with the three of the world’s principal grape varieties used for its production - Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier.

André Kientzler, Ribeauvillé

“One of the most talented winemakers in Alsace, André Kientzler consistently produces the region’s finest Auxerrois […] elevating such modest varieties to well above their station is a tribute to his skill and dedication, but he has Riesling and Gewürztraminer growing in

prime sites and it is what he manages to do with these that ranks his wines among the very best in Alsace.” Tom Stevenson, The Wines of Alsace

The quiet André Kientzler is now helped by his son, Eric, in the running of their small 13.8 hectares estate which include vineyards in 3 Grand Crus of Ribeauvillé. Their style remains unique, displaying André’s craft and experience with wines that mirror his calm and unassuming character. They are very fine with underlying purity and intense mineral notes. The Rieslings are like crystal, gaining great complexity over the years. Do not expect big showy wines here, just wines that are classy and racy.

Domaine Zind-Humbrecht, Turkheim (B)

“Olivier Humbrecht is one of the stars in the wine world’s firmament […] I’m going to suggest that Zind-Humbrecht is probably the best producer in Alsace, with a stunning line-up of powerful, rich wines that possess a real sense of place.”

Jamie Goode, wineanorak.com

The Humbrecht family can trace their winemaking heritage back over 10 generations, although the Domaine Zind Humbrecht story really began in 1959 through the amalgamation of the Zind and Humbrecht family vineyards. Under the stewardship of first Léonard Humbrecht and then his son Olivier, the domain has grown to around 40 hectares, including some of the very best parcels in Alsace’s top Grand Cru and Lieu-Dit sites. Taking a non-interventionist approach in the cellar and paying incredible attention to detail in the biodynamic management of his vineyards, Olivier is leading the field in crafting superb terroir-driven wines.

Albert Mann, Wettolsheim (B)

“The Barthelme brothers – Jacky and Maurice – have maintained their position near the forefront of Alsace viticulture, farming a range of relatively far-flung and outstanding vineyards, as well as offering excellent value virtually throughout their range.”

David Schildknecht, The Wine Advocate February 2008

This well-regarded 21 hectares Alsace domaine is run by two brothers, Maurice and Jacky Barthelmé, in the village of Wettolsheim near Colmar. Albert Mann, Maurice’s father-in-law, decided to use modern production tools without neglecting the constraints of the land. His philosophy was to make wine using the elements of the soil without the help of fertilizers. The Barthelmé brothers have embraced his beliefs and are now at the forefront of a group of organic/biodynamic Alsace producers.

Pascal & Nicolas Reverdy, Maimbray, Sancerre (O)

“Pascal Reverdy – along with his wife and sister-in-law – continues to uphold this family’s deservedly high reputation.” David Schildknecht, The Wine Advocate August 2010

With Nicolas’ untimely death, Pascal Reverdy was faced with a big challenge. Helped by Nicolas’ widow Sophie and his own wife Nathalie, he decided to carry on the work he started with his brother. The results are superb with the same poised, mineral-driven whites and rich, crunchy-fruited reds. Working all the 14 hectares of vineyards manually without weed killers or use of industrial fertilisers contributes greatly to the ultimate quality of their wines. We are pleased to be working with one of the best domaines in Sancerre.

“True artists with Sauvignon… [Mellot family’s] worthy aspirations have gradually raised them to the peaks of the great Sauvignons of the world. Alphonse Mellot’s white Sancerres are amongst the most brilliant and pure illustrations of the genius of the Sauvignon grape.”

Michel Bettane & Thierry Desseauve, The World’s Greatest Wines

Alphonse Mellot Junior has elevated the family domaine to the highest level and is widely acknowledged as one of the best producers in Sancerre. This large estate is using biodynamic methods and although most of the wines are fermented in new or nearly new oak barrels, the wines are very fine and precise with piercing acidity and purity.

Domaine Vacheron, Sancerre (B)

“…Vacheron is surely one of the highlights in the Sancerrois. Lead by Jean-Dominique and his cousin Jean-Laurent, the family domaine produces a range of different single vineyard Sancerres in white, red and pink that reflects not just the rich variety of the terroirs in the region, but the concept of the cousins who seem to demonstrate that the Sancerrois is no less fascinating than the Côte d'Or.”

Stephen Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate October 2016

One of the oldest established families in Sancerre, cousins Jean-Laurent & Jean-Dominique Vacheron have been fighting to regain their position at the top of the appellation. Recent vintages have been exceptional and equally good throughout. Certified biodynamic, the Vacherons are now seen as equals to Alphonse Mellot. Having several great producers competing at the top is fantastic for Sancerre.

Domaine Didier Dagueneau, St-Andelain, Pouilly Fumé (B)

“…wines smelled not of Sauvignon Blanc but of Spring. Sipping Buisson Renard was like standing beneath a waterfall: flavours were clean, limpid eerily palpable, a soft shock. Silex was not the parody flintlock of popular myth; it was pure, sappy, soaring, rich, finishing with just a hint of stone after rain. I had not been expecting this calm and majestic retreat from the varietal. I learnt something new.”

Andrew Jefford, The New France

Didier’s untimely death left a huge void in our lives. Covering less than 12 hectares, the domaine is now run by his son Louis-Benjamin and daughter Charlotte. Louis Benjamin had been working directly by Didier’s side for several years and with the help of a great team, is pursuing his father’s work with great skill, determination and indeed success.

Domaine Masson-Blondelet, Pouilly-sur-Loire, Pouilly Fumé (P)

“14 generations of wine producers can be traced through the Blondelet family tree. Such deep rooted heritage is a fundamental reason behind the quality of Domaine Masson Blondelet as Jean-Michel Masson and his family have high personal reputations for quality to

uphold.” Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast July 2016

Jean-Michel Masson, now supported by his daughter and son, Mélanie and Pierre-François, has been making trademark Pouilly Fumé for more than 30 years. Their constant improvements in the vineyards and search for perfection in the cellar have steadily lifted the domaine to the very top of the appellation. The 21 hectares of vineyards are planted on limestone with a mix of clay and flint, which contributes finesse and complexity to the wines. They are very attractive in their youth but can age well for several years.

Jonathan Didier Pabiot, Les Loges, Pouilly-Fumé (O)

“I first tasted his wines back in early 2013, little more than three years ago, but I was immediately captivated. They were stunning, flavoursome, minerally and precise. In an appellation where Louis-Benjamin Dagueneau seems at times to be operating in an isolated

bubble of excellence, suddenly realised I had found someone working at a similar level.” Chris Kissack, thewinedoctor.com September 2016

Jonathan is the fifth generation of Pabiots to have toiled the soils around Pouilly-sur-Loire. Whilst the cellar is located in Les Loges, the 18 hectares of vineyards are spread widely across the appellation, encompassing five communes in total: Villiers, Charenton, Tracy, Saint-Laurent and Les Loges. This soil diversity ensures that the cuvées offer a diverse range of styles whilst the site variations act as an insurance policy against the perpetual threats of frost and hail.

La Revue du Vin de France, Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2016

The Domaine, directed by Anne Pellé and her son Paul-Henry, is without question the leader in the appellation. The quality of the wines has significantly improved over the last two decades, keeping the charm and rigour given by the Kimmeridgian terroir. Using organic methods in the vineyards they have also improved and modernised the winery to produce clear, striking and racy Sauvignons on a par with the best in Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé.

“Denis Jamain (Domaine de Reuilly) is Reuilly's leading producer […] and no-one is making better quality Reuilly.” Jim Budd, jimsloire.blogspot.co.uk April 2012

Denis Jamain's maternal grandfather, Camille Rousseau, first planted vines on the family's property in 1935, starting with just 2 hectares. Now Denis’ Domaine de Reuilly comprises 21 hectares of vineyards, spread over four specific ‘lieux-dits’ within the commune of Reuilly, with 12 hectares planted with Sauvignon Blanc, 5 hectares with Pinot Noir and 4 hectares of Pinot Gris. With the help of Patrick Ragu, Denis has farmed organically since 2007 and has been using biodynamic practices since 2012. Denis’ other passion is forestry and he still manages the family's oak forests only 15km from Reuilly, which are amongst some of the most beautiful plantings in the centre of France. As a result, Denis still has the unique privilege of choosing the trees which are cut to make the barrels destined for ageing his white and red cuvées that he sells under the ‘Les Chênes de mon Grand-Père’ label. We have selected a Sauvignon Blanc and a Pinot Noir from the ‘Les Pierres Plates’ vineyard that lies on limestone-clay soils, closely resembling those of Chablis. This soil profile contributes greatly to the wine's stoney/mineral character. These Kimmeridgian soils contains a high proportion of seashells and fossils that are over 150 million years old.

Domaine des Chesnaies, Lamé-Delisle-Boucard, Bourgueil, Touraine

“..domaine produces ‘traditional’ Bourgueil and that we like. They keep well and benefit from decanting in order to show their full charm.” Gault & Millau 2010

Pierre Guyot first began producing wine at Lamé-Delisle-Boucard in 1869. The business has always been very much a family affair with Pierre’s son-in-law Jules Lamé pioneering grafting vitis vinifera vines onto American Rootstock after the phylloxera epidemic. Originally, their wines were sold in bulk to local négociants, but the celebrated 1947 vintage inspired the family to begin bottling and selling wine under their own label. Unlike many other French estates, Lamé-Delisle-Boucard has not been split up by the Napoleonic inheritance laws and has steadily increased in size to 44 hectares over the 5 generations. Planted over a diverse range of soil types, with an average vine age of 35-40 years, Cabernet Franc represents 85% of their vineyard holdings, with 15% planted to Cabernet Sauvignon. Now with Pierre’s great, great grandchildren at the helm, Philippe and Stéphanie Boucard, Lamé-Delisle-Boucard is highly regarded for its superb, mature reds, which are aged in the estate’s beautiful Tuffeau cellars under the cuverie.

We are thrilled to work with Philippe Alliet, one of the icons of the Loire Valley. It’s a real privilege to be able to source these highly sought after wines, which originate from his small 17 hectares estate in Cravant-les-Côteaux, the location of some of the finest Cabernet Franc vineyards in the Loire. Inspired by his love for top Bordeaux, Philippe’s goal is to make wines that share the same concentration, density and power using low yields, optimally ripe fruit and full destemming of the grapes. All of his cuvées show great purity and balance and we are convinced that they have the ability to age for a decade or more.

We first met Bertrand Sourdais when he was the winemaker for Dominio de Atauta, one of the finest wineries in Ribera Del Duero. Now at the helm of this family-run 18 hectares domaine in Chinon, Bertrand is already changing and improving the vineyard management and has brought new techniques to the cellar. As a result, he is expressing the true potential of Domaine de Pallus: silky, deep rich Cabernet Francs without any of the green vegetal character so often showing in the lesser wines from this region.

Clos Rougeard, Saumur, Chacé, Anjou-Saumur (O)

“The Foucaults are the singular superstars.” - David Schildknecht, The Wine Advocate August 2007

Nady Foucault is the leading producer in the Loire along with the late Didier Dagueneau. Very sadly, Nady’s brother Charly passed away in December 2015 and where there were rumours of the family putting the 11 hectare estate up for sale, the sale has now been confirmed to the Bouygues brothers, current owners of Château Montrose in Bordeaux. Nady will remain on-hand for a transitional handover period to ensure consistency. As far as viticulture and winemaking are concerned, everything seems so simple here: perfectly ripe, healthy grapes, quality oak barrels, long élevage in their Tuffeau cellars - nothing different to many other producers then! Nevertheless, the results are always magnificent, not flashy or exuberant, but simply great wines. Unfortunately, too many people have come to know the wines and the demand largely outstrips the small production from this small jewel of an estate.

Romain Guiberteau, Saumur, Saint-Just-sur-Dive, Anjou-Saumur (O)

“whites have obvious class and demonstrate all the potential for white-wine production in Saumur. The reds, not to be outdone, capture a unique expression of Cabernet Franc that surpasses all expectations. This is a departure for the real or supposed spirit of Saumur,

with a quality of fruit that puts them alongside the greatest wine in France, be they from Burgundy, the Languedoc or Bordeaux." Bettane & Desseauve's Guide to The Wines of France

Romain Guiberteau is a very ambitious young producer, having previously worked with Nady Foucault at Clos Rougeard and states “An internship with Clos Rougeard is an internship for life.” There is no better mentor than Nady; the progress made by Romain is stupefying and his Saumur Blancs from his 14.5 hectares of vineyards are stunning expressions of Chenin Blanc on the Brézé terroirs.

Brendan Stater-West, Saumur, Saint-Just-sur-Dive, Anjou-Saumur (O)

Originally, from Oregon in the US, Brendan was not born into a winemaking family, just a family that “loves and drinks wine every day” and never thought that he would end up working in the industry. However, on arrival in France to teach English in 2007 he caught the wine bug and has not looked back since. Beginning his new career by joining the team at Domaine Guiberteau, Brendan still works there today and at the beginning of 2015, Romain proposed that Brendan could lease a 1ha plot of young Chenin vines in Bizay, next to the Clos de Guichaux, to begin producing his own wines. This first vintage was bottled at the end of March 2017, having spent 12 months in neutral oak barrels (225L, 300L and 400L), followed by 6 months in stainless steel tank. Brendan seeks the same purity and precision in his wines as Domaine Guiberteau, with a ‘transparent’ reflection of the specific terroir.

Thanks to their enthusiasm and their acute sensitivity to working with the environment, this fascinating estate’s Pinot Noir thrive particularly well in the schist soils.

Working with a tiny team out of a small shed, everything here is done by hand and the attention to detail shines through in Damien’s wines. As a result, production remains very small.

The Daviau family have owned vines on the hills surrounding Brissac since 1546. Today, their 50 hectares of vineyards spread over numerous and varied parcels in and around the commune. Following the completion of his wine studies at the University of Bordeaux; Christophe Daviau, heir to the family business, now manages Domaine de Bablut. Due to his great respect for the environment, Christophe committed himself to organic farming. Furthermore, inspired by natural activist Nicolas Joly, Christophe adopts many biodynamic practices too. His philosophy is to create a harmonious balance between terroir and grape variety, which he does with serious aplomb.

Owned and run by Pascale and Roger-François Béguinot, their team works with immense care and dedication, guided by respect for the natural balance of the soils and their vines. All of the work of the vineyards is carried out manually: from stripping to budding, canopy management to harvesting.

With 35 hectares of its 150 hectares of vineyard dedicated to sweet wine, Moulin Touchais must be one of the most influential producers of Coteaux du Layon. The estate itself dates back to 1787 and 8 generations of the Touchais family have been involved in its running with Jean-Marie Touchais now at the helm. The family believe that their wines only really come into their own after being aged for a minimum of 10 years, so are kept in their spectacular underground cellars until ready, when only the very best cuvées are selected to be released under the Moulin Touchais label.

A strong citrus character and defined minerality are the resulting hallmarks. Meticulously tended by the owner Véronique Günther-Chéreau, the 65-year-old vines yield a wine of classic Muscadet styling. Lees ageing (sur lie) brings a subtle richness to the mid palate.

“Hats off to the Cave Saint-Verny co-op in the département of Puy-de-Dôme in the Auvergne far north east of France's Massif Central.” Jancis Robinson, Purple Pages of JancisRobinson.com September 2013

Founded in 1950, Cave Saint Verny is the sole co-operative in Puy-de-Dôme. It takes its name from Saint-Verny, the 15-year-old son of a wine grower who met his untimely death in 1287 as a result of persecution for his faith. Miracles were said to have happened in the presence of the young martyr’s body. With resident oenologist Olivier Mignard at the helm, the cave sources grapes from 53 communes with 115 growers who each have a holding of less than 2ha. The vineyards are mostly planted to Gamay and Pinot Noir, which are historically blended in the Auvergne. Cave Saint-Verny is an excellent ambassador for the Côtes d'Auvergne and their objective is to give the region the wider recognition it deserves.

Of all the vineyard regions along the River Loire, Côtes du Forez is closest to the river’s source, located on an ancient geological fault line with approximately 100 extinct volcanoes, about 30 of which are located in Côtes du Forez. Owned and run by Gilles Bonnefoy, Les Vins de la Madone comprises 8 hectares in total, a third of which is made up of vines of at least 30 years of age. Gilles’ family did not own any vineyards, so by sheer hard work he has assembled his own holdings, with 75% of his vines planted on volcanic soil, including basalts, clays and granites; the rest are grown on clay and granitic soils. Starting out in 1997, he converted to organic farming in 2001 and then biodynamics in 2008. Gilles says “a successful vigneron cannot be afraid of hard work and that he must understand a myriad of disciplines including viticulture, horticulture, wine making science, geology, business, people etc!”

Domaine Moreau-Naudet, Chablis

“"Make sure you taste Moreau Naudet," Samuel Billaud advised as I departed his domaine. Unfortunately, they had escaped my "clutches" during my round of tastings, but thankfully their UK importers filled in the gap back in London with a selection of 2012s. This

is an excellent producer. The basic principles can be compared to those of Vincent Dauvissat.” Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate August 2015

The hugely sad and shocking death of the young, highly talented Stéphane Moreau at the end of August 2016 robbed the winemaking world of an undoubted star. His family and the domaine team have vowed to carry on his brilliant work. With 13.5 hectares under vine, including a tiny 1 hectare parcel in Les Pargues planted with 50-year-old vines with the same exposure as Vaillons and Montmains, the domaine has fine vineyard holdings. The style reminds us very much of that of Vincent Dauvissat, with extreme purity and intensity. One of his mentors was Didier Dagueneau and it shows, mainly in the precision and razor sharp flavours of his wines, but also in the quirky packaging.

Billaud-Simon is a household name in Chablis. Producing great Chablis for many decades, the estate had reached the very top under the canny management of Bernard Billaud, until 2014 when the highly respected House of Faiveley purchased the estate. The style has always been very precise and minerally driven, yet with great subtlety. The wines can be enjoyed young, especially the Chablis and the Premiers Crus, but they will gain in complexity showing multiple layers of flavour after three or four years in bottle.

Laurent Tribut is following the same principles and style as his brother-in-law, Vincent Dauvissat. Very unassuming, Laurent makes tight, sometimes austere wines, from his tiny 5ha plot of vines, that need two or three years before showing their true potential.

Practicing ‘lutte raisonnée’ in the vineyards and manual harvesting (for the Grands Crus only), their thoughtful, sensitive winemaking gives rise to wines that offer a pure expression of fruit in a fine and elegant styling.

Domaine Marc Roy, Gevrey Chambertin

“.....style is a mix of old style classicism coupled with moderate new oak treatment that doesn't upset the balance or transparency. The wines are absolutely worth trying should you see them, and at the prices that I have seen on offer, they represent fine value as well.”

Allen Meadows, Burghound.com January 2014

Located in the heart of Gevrey Chambertin, this miniscule 4 hectares estate has passed from father to son for generations, yet the winemaking is now carried out by Marc's only daughter Alexandrine. She has made a huge impact on the domaine, having previously spent time in other classic Pinot Noir growing regions, such as Oregon and Central Otago. Although Alexandrine has no Grand or 1er Crus, her village wines are of an exceptionally high quality coming from very old vines (70 year old for the Vieilles Vignes).

Domaine Rossignol-Trapet, Gevrey Chambertin (B)

“A truly excellent domaine” Allen Meadows, Burghound.com January 2008

The 14 hectare Domaine Rossignol-Trapet was created as recently as 1990 when the original Louis Trapet vineyard holdings were divided between his daughter and his son-in-law Jacques Rossignol. Since then Jacques’ two sons, Nicolas and David have gradually taken over the reins of the business. The domaine has been certified 100% biodynamic since 2004. With vineyards spread equally across Village, 1er Cru and Grand Cru holdings in Gevrey Chambertin, the domaine offers a fascinating insight into the sheer variety of flavours that this famous Burgundy village can muster. The brothers are very pleased with their 2014s, which reflect their very precise origins with clarity and elegance. They prefer to harvest later and use less new oak, as their aim is to achieve fruit ripeness rather than oak dominance. Typically, the ‘Village’ wine matures in 10-15% new oak, the 1er Crus 25% new oak and the Grands Crus 50% new oak. Purity of fruit and freshness are the hallmarks here.

“The wines are lovely now. This is an address worth noting.” Clive Coates MW, The Wines of Burgundy

The highly respected family-run Domaine Faiveley purchased this fine domaine in 2014. Didier Chevillon remained consultant winemaker until 2016, working alongside Jérôme Flous and Faiveley’s winemakers to ensure that the wines’ style and personality remained intact. Jérôme and team have now taken over full responsibility for the winemaking, respecting the previous quality and individuality of the wines, whilst also lavishing even more care and attention on them. With vineyard holdings totalling almost 20 hectares in top Premiers Crus and Grands Crus, it is not surprising that Faiveley grabbed this opportunity!

Allen Meadows, Burghound.com January 2008

Founded by Frédéric Groffier in the 19th Century, Domaine Robert Groffier remains family run with Robert’s son Serge and grandson Nicolas now at the helm.

“.....a changing of the guard at this iconic domaine as long-time régisseur (resident manager) Thierry Brouin, who has held this post since 1980, will cede the position as of April 2018 to Boris Champy. Champy is originally from Champagne and has held positions working for several of the Moueix wineries in Bordeaux and California as well as that of looking after the vineyards of Maison Louis

This famous 11 hectares domaine in Morey St Denis owns the largest single holding of any Grand Cru vineyard in Burgundy, 8.7ha of Clos des Lambrays. With a history stretching back to the mid-19th century, the domaine had been in the hands of the Freund family (originally from Koblenz, Germany) since 1996. In April 2014, it was purchased by LVMH, yet the winemaking responsibility and general management of the Domaine now lays with the very gentle, hospitable Boris Champy, who officially took over from Thierry Brouin in April 2018. The quality of the wines shine brightly here. The Morey St Denis is a superb blend of fruit from various lieux-dits, namely La Riotte, Clos Solon, Les Larreys and La Bidaude (just above Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru itself).

“Georges Lignier's nephew Benoît Stehly […] has been involved in the domaine since 2002 and took over sole responsibility in 2008, since which time the wines have become finer and finer.”

Jancis Robinson MW, Purple Pages of JancisRobinson.com

Benoît Stehly, nephew of Georges Lignier, has run the estate since 2008 after working at the domaine for a decade alongside his uncle. His approach is very delicate, as he seeks to achieve maximum aromatic concentration, and quality has improved dramatically as a result. At the Villages level, the wines are matured in used oak barrels, while 1er Crus see 30% new oak and Grand Crus 50% new oak. A seam of seductive elegance runs throughout the range of wines. Benoît’s deep respect for tradition allied to a sublime expression of each terroir shapes his decisions, ensuring that the wines evoke their precise origins with clarity and poise. Since 2010, the wines are neither fined nor filtered. The domaine has an enviable spread of 16ha of vineyards encompassing 50 parcels including top Grand Crus. They are the largest owner of Clos Saint-Denis, at 1.5ha, and control over a hectare of Clos de la Roche.

With over 25 years of winemaking experience at renowned Burgundy domaines such as Comte Armand and Domaine de la Vougeraie, and as a consultant in Chile, California, Canada and Australia, Pascal Marchand possesses a deep understanding of terroir-driven wines. At the beginning of 2006, he created his new micro-négociant label. For Pascal’s first vintage, he produced almost 1,000 cases from 7 different wines, mainly from the Côte de Nuits. He now offers in excess of 40 different appellations from the Côte de Nuits, as well as a smattering of wine from the Côte de Beaune. His fruit is sourced from growers he knows well and in whom he has total confidence. All of his wines originate from vineyards with vines of a minimum of 35 years of age. Some of his growers are certified organic; some are organic in ethos but work without certification. All though are highly dedicated to quality. Pascal’s partnership with his long-time friend Moray Tawse marks a commitment to crafting wines that are amongst the finest expression of Burgundy’s most celebrated terroirs.

Domaine de Bellene (O) / Maison Roche de Bellene, Beaune

“From the start, Nicky Potel’s range of wines was impressive, both for its breadth – he seemed to have a knack for securing parcels which had eluded his peers – and for its high quality. […] well-coloured, full without being sturdy, rich and succulent, pure and elegant.”

Clive Coates MW, The Wines of Burgundy

Nicolas Potel established Domaine de Bellene in 2005 after the purchase of various old vine plots in some of the best sites in Burgundy. A dynamic and highly talented winemaker, Nicolas originally cut his teeth at Domaine de La Pousse d’Or in Volnay, which at the time was run by his father Gérard Potel. The Domaine de Bellene vines are situated in selected villages from Santenay in the south to Nuits St Georges and Vosne Romanée in the north. All vines are between 50 to 110 years old and are cultivated with biodynamic methods. The winemaking is low interventionist with nothing other than small doses of sulphur, added to the wines. Maison Roche de Bellene is Nicolas’ négociant business. Following several years work as a négociant, Nicolas set up this latest venture in 2008, sourcing grapes for his extensive range of wines from quality-minded growers, many of whom he has collaborated with for over 15 years and work in an environmentally respectful fashion. His current range, offering wines crafted from some of the finest vineyards in the Côte d’Or, is a ‘roll call’ of top crus and appellations. For Nicolas, his ‘Maison Roche de Bellene’ label represents the “haute couture” of Burgundy.

“…this is a domaine that epitomizes everything to love, and I mean “love” and not just “like," about Burgundy. Simple, artisan, quality-driven but not extreme, a soulful and charming domaine that just gets by turning out traditional, character-filled Volnay and Pommards

year after year.” Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate December 2014

This fine family-owned domaine, comprising 9 hectares of vines, has been run impeccably since 1995 by Jean-Pierre Charlot, son-in-law of Joseph Voillot, who sadly passed away in July 2014. Over recent years, Jean-Pierre has refined the quality and style of wines produced here. Sustainable viticulture holds sway. He has dispensed with the inclusion of stems as he prefers the essence of fruit, and he has shortened the length of time the wines spend in barrel – typically 14-16 months followed by 1 month in stainless steel prior to bottling. Jean-Pierre has also reduced the percentage of new oak - now 10-20% depending on the cru. He prefers a light filtration but no fining. Volnay ‘Vieilles Vignes’ is sourced from 8 parcels including: Famines, Gigotte, Pasquier, Grands Poisots and Petits Poisots and totals nearly 2 hectares with an average vine age of almost 50 years. Volnay 1er Cru ‘Champans’ covers 1.7 hectares with vines dating from 1934, 1971 and 1985. The wine typically has more fruit and power than other Voillot Volnay crus.

Didier and Geneviève Darviot are quintessential vignerons; as a husband and wife team they oversee every phase of the winemaking procedure from pruning and ploughing to racking the casks and bottling on their own premises – ‘minimal intervention’ is key. Working to a fully certified biodynamic philosophy is Didier’s aim. Internationally considered one of the finest sources of domaine-bottled Burgundies, their 11 hectares property is one of the very few to own vines in the three top 1er Cru vineyards of Meursault: ‘Perrières’, ‘Genevrières’ and ‘Charmes’. In addition, they also own vines in Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru ‘Blanchots-Dessus’, which abuts Le Montrachet and Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet.

Christophe Buisson, Saint Romain

“The range is modest, but quality is very high.” Clive Coates MW, The Wines of Burgundy

Destined to be a mason like his father and his brother, Christophe decided to leave the family business and go into the wine industry. After receiving his diploma, he started his domaine in 1996 by renting a few acres of vines. Overtime he gradually purchased and rented further vines in and around Saint Romain and beyond, so that his domaine covered 7 hectares. He moved into a new chai in Beaune in 1999, renovating it in 2005. He has now relinquished the management of his vineyards (en fermage) to Alex Gambal (whilst also working with Alex as a partner and consultant). He will continue to concentrate on working as a tiny micro-négociant in his own right, but still with specialist focus and expertise in the Saint Romain appellation. The 2015s show the benefit of his skills and experience, alongside the excellence of the vintage.

Philippe Bouzereau is the 9th generation of a family of vine-growers in Meursault. Following on from his father, he took over managing this fine 18ha domaine back in 2006. With the well-being of the vineyard at heart, his team practice minimum intervention to enable the vines to develop naturally and healthily. His emblematic wine is the monopole Meursault ‘Vieux Clos du Château de Cîteaux’, produced from a single parcel of vines planted by his father. Philippe cultivates a huge diversity of vineyard plots, from 'Aloxe Corton in the north to Chassagne Montrachet in the south, giving him a multitude of small parcels with which to compose the ‘mosaic’ of his production. Typically, Philippe matures his wines for 12 months in French oak (20-30% new). Philippe’s impressive 2016s show good richness and weight, but also a fine balance and typicité.

£ Case £ Bottle Domaine Philippe Chavy, Puligny Montrachet (P)

“[Philippe Chavy] has made great progress over the past two decades and is now in the forefront of Puligny domaines.” Remington Norman & Charles Taylor MW, The Great Domaines of Burgundy (3rd Edition)

Philippe Chavy took over the reins of this wealthy domaine from his father in 2002 with a little more than 3 hectares of prime sited vineyards. The domaine now extends to just over 8 hectares, with some thirty individual parcels scattered throughout the neighbouring villages of Puligny Montrachet (from his father’s side of the family) and Meursault (through his maternal side). Soil is worked by ploughing; there is strictly no use of herbicides or insecticides and for several years, Philippe has followed the cycles of the lunar calendar when determining work in the vineyards and cellars. His precise, floral Puligny Montrachet ‘Les Corvées des Vignes’ hails from vines that lie very close to neighbouring Meursault 1er Cru ‘Charmes’.

Paul Carillon, Puligny Montrachet

François Carillon’s son, Paul, is carrying on the long tradition of winemaking in the Carillon family with his domaine. Influenced by his grandfather Louis’ style, he uses traditional techniques, such as vinifying and ageing in 25% new oak barrels, to produce classical Pulignys with superb finesse and elegance.

Domaine Marc Morey, Chassagne Montrachet

“It is always a pleasure to meet with winemaker Sabine Morey in the village of Chassagne-Montrachet. The daughter of Bernard Morey, she has been working at the domaine since 2003. I noticed her Young Winemaker of the Year award still standing in the tasting room,

testifying her as one of the most respected vignerons” Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate December 2017

Son-in-Law to Marc Morey, Bernard Mollard has successfully held the reins of this family-owned 9ha estate for a number of years. His steady, reliable winemaking expertise continues to evolve in the hands of his daughter Sabine, ensuring a constancy of quality year after year despite the vagaries of climatic conditions. Chassagne Montrachet Blanc 1er Cru ‘Les Vergers’ bristles with tension and nervous energy. Its habitually keen-edged personality is clearly evident. Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru ‘Les Referts’ shows a classic profile of delicate white floral notes with a fine linear precision, yet also offers a richness more akin to neighbouring Meursault.

Domaine Blain Gagnard, Chassagne Montrachet

“Blain’s white wines, like those of the rest of the family, concentrate on the finesse and the fruit and are delicate for Chassagnes. But they are all more attractive as a result. This is a fine source.”


The quietly spoken, charming Jean-Marc Blain, married to Claudine (daughter of the late Jacques Gagnard), fashions Chassagne crus of delicacy and finesse. His wines seduce the palate with their elegance and subtlety, rather than weight and richness. Hard work throughout the growing season and detailed selection are key to this success. Jean-Marc also feels it is very important to have a mixture of vine ages within each vineyard plot, not only to produce a more complex wine, but also to reduce the loss of several years’ production when the old vines need to be replaced. The quality here is very high, with Jean-Marc’s 1er Cru ‘Les Caillerets’ marrying brilliantly a subtle note of white flowers with a hint of toast, culminating in a palate-pleasing salinity on the finale.

Jancis Robinson, Purple Pages of JancisRobinson.com January 2018

We’ve known of Bruno Colin’s talent for a while and are delighted to have the opportunity to work closely with him. Bruno owns a little more than 8 hectares of top vineyards in Chassagne and the neighbouring villages. His style is modern with great purity and definition. Bruno is equally successful with both his reds and his whites, which few achieve in Burgundy.

Thomas Morey, Chassagne Montrachet

“Thomas Morey is one of Bernard Morey's sons (Vincent is the other […] ) that has taken his share of his father's vines to farm on his own. The split occurred in 2006 but was effective with the 2007 vintage. He has added to that inheritance and now oversees 13 ha, two-

thirds of which produces whites and has an impressive 8 different Chassagne 1ers plus the prestigious Puligny 1er of La Truffière” Allen Meadows, Burghound.com June 2015

Thomas Morey, the younger son of Bernard, has set up his cellar in the old family house in Chassagne. He is working 8 hectares and has already established himself as one of the young stars of the appellation. His style is different from that of his father, in being slightly more linear and tighter, and closer to the modern interpretation of Burgundy.

“Olivier Lamy has been one of my go-to producers for a number of years.” Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate December 2014

Olivier Lamy is one of the brightest young stars in the Côte de Beaune, following in the footsteps of his father Hubert Lamy by joining him at the family domaine. He has succeeded in putting Saint Aubin on the map, worthy of mention in the same breath as the famous neighbouring appellations of Chassagne and Puligny. A very hard worker and one of the first to understand that most of the work has to be done in the vineyard, he is making racy wines from the family’s 18.5 hectares of vines with great acidity and length, always punching well above their weight.

Domaine Justin Girardin is very much a family affair, with a winemaking heritage that stretches back to the beginning of the 19th Century. Jacques (brother of Vincent) handed over the running of the 17ha family domaine to his son Justin in 2012. Whilst not being officially certified, Justin uses many organic techniques, as he is passionate about producing wines that express terroir. The results are superbly perfumed, multi-layered wines.

Côte Chalonnaise £ Case £ Bottle Domaine Ninot, Rully (P)

“Erell Ninot is responsible for her family's 12 ha domaine that is split 50/50 between reds and whites, which are naturally farmed though Ninot admits that she is not fanatical about treating with industrial preparations "when it is absolutely necessary". She professes to

search for elegance above all else but enjoys overt fruit and the pleasure of drinking wines that are pleasurable to drink....” Allen Meadows, Burghound.com October 2009

Erell Ninot and her brother elaborate typical Côte Chalonnaise wines with a modern touch. After taking over the small 5 hectares Domaine from her father, Erell has gradually increased the vineyards to 13 hectares and his now seconded by her younger brother Flavien. She has previously won the Trophée de Jeune Talent, Burgundy's best young winemaker award. Erell practices organic viticulture and winemaking protocol but chooses not to be officially certified, allowing her to craft consistently high quality wines in the rather fickle local Rully terroir. Rigorous manual vineyard work, low yields and respect for the soil, vine and nature propel this fine domaine straight in to the top echelon of Chalonnaise producers. The delicately oaked whites are subtle but ripe with enough natural acidity. The reds are plump with poised Pinot fruit and soft tannins.

Domaine de Suremain comprises 18 hectares of vines spread across some of Mercurey's finest appellations. The property has been in the same family for seven generations and is currently run by Yves Suremain, his wife Marie-Hélène and their son Loïc. Vineyards are situated on the high-slopes and mid-slopes facing to the south and east, in the heart of the appellation. These holdings include no less than 6 different red Mercurey including five 1er Crus. They also produce one white Mercurey from the 1er Cru ‘En Sazenay’. In all vineyard work the family philosophy is to respect nature, following a “lutte raisonnée” approach, adapting their work and treatments to vintage climatic conditions. Harvest is gathered by hand into small crates before being carefully sorted on ‘une table de tri’. Fermentations are carried out in open oak cuves of 50-100hl, cru by cru. Sensitively judged égrappage & pigeage are applied depending on the cru and the vintage. Wines are then matured in French oak barriques (10-15% new) for 14-18 months.

Christophe is a multi-talented winemaker. After establishing the 25ha family domaine as the leader in the region, he also started a small négociant range, buying the best grapes sourced locally from some of the finest, oldest, trusted vineyards.

Beaujolais £ Case £ Bottle (N) Stéphane Aviron, La Chapelle de Guinchay, Beaujolais

With the help of Nicolas Potel, Stephane Aviron is focusing on the best sites to find old parcels of vines that will produce mineral, elegant and intense wines. His Fleurie Vieilles Vignes (more than 40 years old) is silky and velvety and enjoyable young but, like with

his other wines, the winemaking style will also ensure longevity.

Stéphane attended Beaune viticultural school at the same time as Nicolas Potel and they immediately became very close friends. Whilst also owning a business that specialises in a quality-focused bottling service for many top Beaujolais producers. His list of grower contacts is formidable thanks to his father who was one of the top courtiers in the region for many years. This knowledge helped him to get to know the best vineyards within many top estates. Setting up his negociant business with Nicolas Potel in 1990 with the intention to craft his own wines in the cellars of these top producers, managing single vineyard sites of very old vines, and doing the élevage in barrique, with a view to making the great Beaujolais that reigned supreme in the 1930’s and 1940’s and that aged so gracefully. In 1990, his first vintage, all wines were aged in 100% new oak barrels. Whilst for such great vintage it made sense to vinify the wines to allow them to age for 30-50 years, today’s market seeks a much less marked new oak thumbprint, so the new oak has subsided and is now not really an element in his wine making except in exceptional circumstances. Originally labelled Potel-Aviron, the wines are now presented as Stéphane Aviron to reflect his hands on the winemaking. The wines are effectively ‘Domaine’ wines as the grapes originate from (usually) one very old vineyard, and are harvested, vinified & bottled at the estate. ‘La Madrière’ is his ex-wife’s family vineyard just under the Church of ‘La Madonne’ at the top of the hill of Fleurie, and he will continue to access these fine quality grapes.

“Georges Descombes is one of the stalwarts of Beaujolais.” Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate June 2014

Georges Descombes is one of the pillars of the Beaujolais appellation. His wines are serious, but also give a lot of immediate pleasure. Like his great friend Jean Foillard and mentor, the late Marcel Lapierre, he likes minimal intervention and lets the granite terroir of his 15.5 hectares of vineyards lead the way. Beautifully juicy but with good backbone, his wines can be enjoyed early and will also age for several years.

François Villard, St-Michel-sur-Rhône, Condrieu (P)

“The wines have immediate flair and lots of life in them. The winemaking is modern, with new oak a constant feature. Villard has been restraining himself on the cellar techniques in the last two or three vintages, and the wines sit more comfortably in the glass as a result.”

John Livingstone-Learmonth, DrinkRhone.com 2017

François’ empire keeps growing, but he still keeps a tight rein on the operations, whilst being open to sharing his knowledge and passion for his region. The recent winery above St-Michel-sur-Rhône, that seemed so large a few years ago, is now bursting with vats and barrels, but the quality remains. The wines are often seen on the tables of most of the best restaurants around the world.

From 14 hectares of vineyards, Stéphane Ogier’s wines express the style and quality that has made the Northern Rhône in increasingly high demand. His classic Viognier has minerality, with rich, almost exotic white fruit and a freshness conveying judicious use of oak. The reds display attractive smoky aromas, juicy fruit and meatiness - trademarks of classic Northern Rhône. The Côte Rôtie ‘Réserve’ is a blend of several terroirs and has incredible complexity and length.

Domaine Jocelyne & Yves Lafoy, Ampuis

“Unpretentious wines, no jazzy modernism. The style is tight, compact. The Côte Rozier is serious wine, on the improve, while the Prélude (called JYL until 2015) has also stepped up a gear. In 2017 the Lafoys split out the 1934 Syrah on Côte Blonde (wine used to

go into the Côte Rozier) to make a wine of that name... “ John Livingstone-Learmonth, DrinkRhone.com 2018

Three generations of the family have worked this vineyard in Ampuis at the heart of the Côte-Rôtie. The estate was founded in 1993 by Jocelyne and Yves Lafoy, who cobbled together vines from their respective in-laws to follow in Jocelyne’s father’s footsteps on the Côte Brune in Côte-Rôtie. Since 2012, the winemaking has been the chief responsibility of their son Gaëtan. Gaëtan was formally trained at a viticulture and oenology school in Mâcon, France and spent a few months at the Plumpton Agricultural College in Sussex in the United Kingdom. Following this, he trained with an internship under Jean-Michel Gérin in Côte-Rôtie. The vineyards are worked by hand (often on steep terraces) with little mechanisation, and the winemaking style is traditional producing ageworthy, structured and elegant wines.

“Philippe and Vincent, two generations with different levels of experience and ideas, are creating their domaine together from scratch. The early returns are very promising.”

Philippe Jaboulet, along with his son Vincent, sold the family business ‘Paul Jaboulet Ainé’ in 2005; however, what is less documented is that they kept hold of most of their prized vineyards, including 15 hectares within the sector best known to all as ‘Thalabert’. Whilst the Jaboulets can no longer use the name, the resulting wine lives on in the guise of ‘Nouvelère’ or ‘new era’. In 2006, the Jaboulets also acquired Domaine Collonge in Crozes Hermitage to create a total estate covering 29.6 hectares. Their superb Ermitage Blanc is sourced from a tiny 0.7ha plot planted solely with old vine Roussanne; whereas their Ermitage Rouge comes from half a hectare of Syrah planted in lieu-dit of Diognères.

“I taste a lot of wines, and it’s not all that often that I’m blown away by a producer’s range, but this happened here.” Jamie Goode, wineanorak.com April 2007

Founded in 1976 by Philippe Laurent and Michèle Aubéry-Laurent, Domaine Gramenon lies in the heart of the Drôme Provençale in Montbrison sur Lez surrounded by 25 hectares of vines and olive groves. The vineyards are planted on a limestone plateau, 300m above sea level, which brings a purity and freshness to the wines. Unfortunately, Philippe passed away as a result of an accident in 1999, so Michèle was joined by her son Maxime-François. Together they aim to keep the identity of each plot of land, which gives birth to their ‘cuvées’. Maxime-François has also created a small wine merchant business in partnership with a neighbouring vigneron, whose vineyards are certified organic. He issues and labels his cuvées under his own name.

Spicy, rich and peppery with warm juicy fruit, his wines are always extremely appealing and a great representation of this region. While Grenache makes up the majority of the vines planted on his 29 hectares of vineyards, he has an old plot of Syrah and uses it judiciously in the cuvée ‘L’Estévenas’.

“This sensational estate consistently produces some of the top whites of the appellation (in addition to the reds), and they’ve done well in 2015.” Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate October 2016

Christophe and Sébastien Jaume have now taken over from their father Alain and have carefully expanded the domaine. The range is exceptional and equally superb in white as in red. ‘La Fontaine’ is consistently one of the best white Châteauneuf and ‘Les Origines’ delivers the appropriate class for a premium cuvée with many international accolades. There is no weak wine here and the well-priced Côtes du Rhône is produced from a vineyard situated only meters away from the famous Château Beaucastel.

“In my view, no estate has made more qualitative gains in the past 3-4 years than Bosquet des Papes […] If you're looking for the next superstar producer in Châteauneuf du Pape, here you go!” Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate October 2014

A few years ago, this traditional 32ha estate had a new lease of life when son Nicolas Boiron took over from his father Maurice. Both men are built like rugby forwards and the wines have a tendency to be like them; therefore, it is advisable to keep them for a little while before drinking.

Le Clos du Caillou, Châteauneuf du Pape (O)

“Under the helm of Bruno Gaspard (with help from Philippe Cambie), Domaine du Clos du Caillou continues to make some of the most profound, layered and sexy wines of this sun-drenched appellation.”

Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate October 2015

Sylvie Vacheron, helped by the gifted Bruno Gaspard, is producing rich and very expressive Châteauneuf du Pape cuvées alongside consultant Philippe Cambie. The literally “larger than life” Philippe is considered the best oenologist in the Southern Rhône and with his advice, the quality of the estate's wines has greatly progressed. The unsung hero in Le Clos du Caillou's portfolio is the ‘Bouquet des Garrigues’: with a feel and style of Châteauneuf du Pape, it is not a straightforward Côtes du Rhône by any means.

“Jean-Paul Daumen directs this fine estate with utmost care. Thanks to remarkable work in the vineyards and a natural approach in the cellar, he produces wonderfully expressive, classic wines of great elegance.”

La Revue du Vin de France 2012

Despite our already large portfolio of Châteauneuf estates, we did not hesitate when we had the opportunity to add Jean-Paul Daumen’s wines to our offering. These are very serious wines with a class coveted by many other producers. With 10 hectares of vines at the very northern part of Châteauneuf du Pape and 5 hectares of Côtes du Rhône on the Lieu Dit Clavin, they are never the blockbusters produced by so many during the past decade, Vieille Julienne wines are completely unique and this is why they are so sought after!

Françoise Roumieux and her sister Béatrice run this 50 hectares estate together with their brother Didier Mayard producing three separate Châteauneuf du Pape cuvées. Both the cuvée ‘Père Pape’ and ‘Clos du Calvaire’ offerings are traditionally made wines from 40 to 50 year-old vines and are aged in neutral 600 litre oak foudres and cement tanks. The ‘Crau de ma Mère’ is a small cuvée made with 100 year old vines and is only available in limited allocations.

Domaine de La Mordorée, Tavel (O)

“I’ve yet to see these guys put a foot wrong, and regardless of the vintage, they’re able to make superb wines.” Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate October 2014

The Delorme family meticulously runs one of the most successful domaines in the Southern Rhône, La Mordorée. Very sadly, Christophe passed away unexpectedly in 2015. His dynamism and drive will be sorely missed, but his wife, daughter and team continue to further refine the quality of wine that derives from their 40 hectares of vines, as, like many, they believe that the best wines are made in the vineyard. Every wine receives the same care be it the simplest Côtes du Rhône or the top Châteauneuf du Pape. Despite success and multiple awards, the prices remain very reasonable.

Antoine Pétrus, Bettane & Desseauve Guide des Vins 2016

Yves Gras is one of the strongest personalities in the Southern Rhône region; he is also very generous and has helped many young wine producers to improve their techniques & establish themselves within the market. Since 2006, he has slightly softened his style by shortening the time of cuvaison and using different cooling methods in order to reduce some of the austerity that was previously characteristic of his wines. They still have plenty of local character & huge personality, but are certainly a little more approachable now in their youth. His latest vintages from his 23 hectares of vines are truly exceptional & have received great recognition from the press.

Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate December 2016

Sébastien Vincenti of Domaine de Fondrèche is widely recognised as one of the two best producers in Ventoux and to make things even better, he keeps a reasonable pricing policy despite his ever-increasing reputation and growing international demand. His wines from his 38ha domaine are very polished and seductive, yet he always aims to improve his technique. Sébastien is moving to organic culture and uses specific canopy management in order to produce ripe rich wines, with an overall harmony being the key.

“[Raimond de Villeneuve] makes dark brambly reds that explode with life and are wonderfully perfumed and wild with garrigue. His rosé, Corail, pale, fresh, and elegant, has been one of my favourites for several years.”

Tamlyn Currin, Purple Pages of JancisRobinson.com July 2013

The flamboyant and eccentric Raimond de Villeneuve has propelled this 25 hectare estate to the very top of the Provence hierarchy. Benefiting from an altitude of 350m and old vines averaging more than 35 years, Raimond produces fresh and precise wines with a real sense of personality and unique style.

“Situated on a fresh soil of the appellation, in the commune of Jouques, and near the castle of Vignelaure, this sumptuous estate is in the hands of the talented Peter Fischer since the vintage 1985.”


Sheltered by Mount Saint-Victoire and nestled amidst thousands of hectares of wild, unspoiled woodland, lies the secluded Château Revelette. This picturesque estate is owned by German-born Peter Fischer and his wife Sandra, who have one aim: to craft ‘real’ wines, which are the purest expressions of their stunning terroir. A graduate of UC Davis, California, Peter first moved to Provence with the dream of owning his own vineyard; Revelette now comprises 30ha of land under vine, divided into 17 distinct plots with 11 different grape varieties, which Peter farms organically and follows biodynamic principles. At an altitude of 330m-400m, it has one of the coolest climates of Provence, which slows the ripening of the grapes, resulting in elegant, aromatic wines with unique characters.

Stéphane Bourret and his team have improved La Bastide wines’ quality beyond recognition. Despite the pressure of the many tourists ready to buy almost anything at any price, he has chosen a path of quality and hard work. All of the 28 hectares estate is now run using biodynamic methods and the results are a joy to behold, with many of their wines awarded great accolades in the national and international wine press. ‘Estagnol’ is produced from their best vineyards and improves after 3 or 4 years cellaring.

Jean Paux Rosset and his team, with the help of consultant Claude Gros, have worked tirelessly to make sure that their wines are the very best of the appellation. The beautiful vineyards, a stone’s throw from the Mediterranean, receive the best viticultural care in order to ensure healthy grapes; this helps the team to pick extremely late if required, especially the Mourvèdre. The range is extremely consistent, with the ‘Brise Marine’ displaying notes of white stone fruit and iodine, while the reds have ripe tannins and great intensity without being heavy.

Domaine Puech Claude, Pinet, Languedoc

Owning 30 hectares of vines close to the Étang de Thau, this long established family-run domaine (since 1744), can claim six generations of accumulated ‘savoir-faire’. Combining the family wisdom with the cooling effect of the nearby étang (a coastal saltwater lagoon), proximity to the city of Montpellier (famous for its oyster farms) and modern temperature-controlled vinification, brings a wonderful freshness to the wines. Of the total vineyard holdings, Domaine Puech Claude is selected from 12 hectares of Picpoul, farmed using traditional methods. The vines of Picpoul Blanc have an average age of 45 years, and are grown on soils containing a mix of 54% pure limestone, the rest being calcareous clay. The name Picpoul derives from the French “Picque”, meaning sharp, and poul, meaning lips, translating as “lip stinger”.

Now working as a consultant for many leading properties, he continues with great sensitivity and a belief in the sacrosanct nature of wines to evoke their terroir and individuality. Stéphane’s consultant venture ‘Derenoncourt Consultants’ embodies a new generation of consultancy in viticulture & winemaking. His philosophy is that there is no such thing as a “petit vin”.

Château Falfas, Bayon, Côtes de Bourg (B)

“Véronique Cochran is an inspiring, charming winegrower, and the inspiration for farming Falfas biodynamically came from her father, Francois Bouchet, who was the pioneer of biodynamic wine growing back in the 1960s.”

Jamie Goode, wineanorak.com October 2016

With 20 hectares of vineyards planted on rolling hillsides of Bayon in the Côtes de Bourg, Château Falfas has a winemaking heritage that dates back to the 14th century. The Château was in fact one of the very first in Bordeaux to practise organic and biodynamic methods. Today Château Falfas is owned by Véronique and John Cochran, who are building on the traditions of the past with a very simple philosophy: the best wines are not “made” but rather “grown”. They remain passionate about practising biodynamic principles to extract the very essence of the terroir, producing authentic, rich and generous wines.

François Thienpont, Bordeaux

The Thienpont heritage is impressive: Vieux Château Certan and Le Pin in Pomerol, Puygueraud, Lauriol and Les Charmes Godard in the Côtes de Bordeaux. In 2001, François Thienpont set out to create a family of wines that expressed the truth of the terroir and ‘Terra Burdigala’ was born. Wines were to be produced with absolute respect for the soil and the environment. From vine to bottling, all aspects of the creation of each wine were to be fully within the control of François and his team. Each wine hails from meticulously selected vineyards and each parcel of vines is tended individually. Natural yeasts are welcome; chemical fertilisers are banned!

Elian Da Ros, Cocumont, Côtes du Marmandais (O)

“[The Côtes du Marmandais] tootled along on the fringes of everything vinous until Elian Da Ros arrived back there and took over his family's vines, inspired by stints working for Zind Humbrecht in Alsace and at Grange des Pères in the Languedoc and determined to

make the best possible wine.” Jancis Robinson, Purple Pages of JancisRobinson.com March 2005

It was in 1998 that Elian Da Ros, a good friend of Nady Foucault, returned to the Côtes du Marmandais to take over the running of his father’s 5ha vineyard, having spent 5 years working at the iconic Domaine Zind-Humbrecht in Alsace. Since then, Elian no longer delivers the grapes to the local coop and has ensured that Marmandais is properly on the quality wine map, due to his hard work and determination. Today, Elian is regarded as a pioneer for the region, raising the flag for wines of distinction. Following in his footsteps, a small band of independent vignerons in the appellation now produce and bottle wine under their own estate labels.

Les Jardins de Babylone, Aubertin, Jurançon (O)

“[…] the nobly-concentrated Dagueneau Jurancons – of which I tasted a 2005 and 2004 – are magnificent, with superb detail, magical levity, as well as irresistibility rather than over-the-top sweetness. “The idea is to have a balance with high acidity, not a confiture,”

remarks Benjamin Dagueneau. “Chateau d’Yquem is very good, but heavy. These wines aim at something a little more Germanic in style.” I was already grinning before he said this!”

David Schildknecht, The Wine Advocate August 2010

Didier Dagueneau was regarded as one of the greatest winemakers in the Loire and his son Louis-Benjamin and daughter Charlotte are continuing his legacy after Didier’s untimely death. Didier’s love of dessert wines led him to search outside of the Loire for an under-the-radar region, where he could produce world-class sweet wines. His search led him to a spectacular amphitheatre of terraced vineyards lying at the foot of the Pyrénees, just south of Pau in Jurançon, South West France, inspiring him to call the wines ‘Babylone’. Made in minute quantities, the resulting wines, both dry and sweet, are stunning and the talented Dagueneau family’s hallmark of qual ity shines through.

Jean Stodden, Rech, Ahr

“One of the most serious stars in the Ahr Valley” Jancis Robinson, Purple Pages of JancisRobinson.com November 2011

The Stodden family has been involved in winemaking in the Ahr Valley since 1578. Today Alexander Stodden is responsible for producing some of the greatest and most distinctive Pinot Noir’s in Germany. Quality is the key to production: pruning is carried out both in winter and spring, with a green harvest in summer. All the grapes are handpicked and undergo selection within both the vineyards and cellar. The slate soils offer the wines a specific flavour profile, with a defining pithy edge. If Pinot Noir was grown in Savennières, it would probably taste like this.

"This is the latest adventure of José Antonio López (founder of Morgadío and afterwards of Lusco do Miño) whose good work always reappears after each new project. He is presenting a very serious and deep Albariño, due to the fine quality of the grape and the post

fermentation process where the wine remains in contact with its fine lees.” elmundovino.com

Compañía de Vinos Tricó is a very personal project of José Antonio López, taking its name from the expression used in Galicia to name a child that is a late addition to the family. It is a very down to earth project intimately attached to the environment, where each element is intended to be a reflection of the Galician character. It aims to extract the true character of the Albariño grape and express it authentically. “I created this project in order to synthesize all my previous experiences in wineries with other partners. My goal was to make my own style of wines which would be a true reflection of terroir without trade concessions”, says José Antonio.

José Antonio owns 10 hectares of Albariño vines planted on decomposed granitic soils in the inland subregion of Condado do Tea, close to the Miño River as it flows on its way to the Atlantic. Vineyard work is based on keeping things as natural as possible in order to obtain optimal grapes, supported by minimal intervention winemaking. The focus is “oenology in the field”, with precision & attention to detail as key drivers. Only organic fertilizers are used & grasses are often planted between the rows in order to avoid excess of water during winter. Yields are kept deliberately low & long lees contact with extended bottle ageing are José’s trademarks. Wines typically rest in stainless steel tanks on their lees for a year before bottling (July/ August), where they spend another year before release.

Santa Marta is a family owned & run winery that has been crafting its own wine since 1998 with one main aim – ultimate quality and authenticity. Santa Marta’s vineyards are located at an altitude of 600m in an area where the climate is characterized by cold winters and warm summers. The significant elevation of the vineyards as well as the mineral rich soils (slate and granite) ensure that the resulting wines offer marked natural vitality and persistence of expressive flavour. The cool temperatures of this Atlantic influenced region provide a more gradual, extended ripening period. All Santa Marta’s wines qualify for the D.O of Valdeorras. Based upon a marriage of tradition and innovation, Santa Marta strive to fashion the most expressive examples of their local grape varieties – namely Godello for whites and Mencia for reds. The majority of vines are at least 50 years of age. In total Santa Marta control 30 hectares of vineyard, 12 hectares of their own and 18 hectares worked under contract with local, like-minded growers.

El Bierzo is a natural region located in the northwest of the Spanish province of León. A set of small valleys in this mountainous area offer a variety of orientations and gradients whilst a wide flat depression called ”El Bajo Bierzo” provides less challenging viticultural terrain. The region has a special microclimate, very suitable to the successful cultivation of Mencía. Toni Quiroga decided to start his adventure in wine some 20 years ago, when he started working in his father’s vineyards in Valtuille de Abajo. Almost 22 hectares are the base of this family bodega, where Toni crafts a range of expressive wines that demonstrate clearly his love for his lands and his family roots. All wines from Bodegas Cobertizo are certified organic, with extremely low use of sulphites, far lower than European ecological standard limits. Viticulture is sustainable, and Toni’s practice of leaving vegetation cover between rows helps to bring balance to the soil. His red wines are produced with old vine Mencia (60 years of age) and his white wines with old vine Godello (50 years of age). Old, steep vineyards such as these cannot be tended by machines, so all viticultural work is carried out by hand.

Bodega Régoa, Amandi, Ribeira Sacra, Galicia (P)

The name Ribeira Sacra means 'Sacred Shore,' which is most likely a reference to the numerous monasteries in the area. Until fairly recently, Ribeira Sacra was largely cut off from the rest of Spain, though a few farmers shipped wine by river to Lugo, a city to the north, mostly for local consumption. At the end of the 19th century, phylloxera destroyed many of the vineyards. Agricultural disaster was followed by economic depression, civil war and dictatorship. Many of the historical terraces were abandoned. Near the end of the 20th century, people began to return to Ribeira Sacra. Drawn by the potential of the slate/ granite soils at a time when other once-obscure Spanish wine regions were developing worldwide reputations, prospective growers came back to replant the vines and renew the terraces. The hills of Ribeira Sacra were alive once again. The Ribeira Sacra area, which today covers around 1200ha, was accorded DO status in 1996. Run by José María Prieto Fernández, Bodega Régoa makes the most of the natural advantages of its geographical situation in the heart of the Amandi sub-region. The winery owns 11 hectares of old vine terraced vineyards, with many 80% south facing slopes, dropping down to the banks of the Sil River. These conditions, together with the particular soil characteristics (slate and sandstone soil with good drainage) as well as a suitable climate (more continental than Rías Baixas) combine to great effect in the expressive individuality of its wines. Almost 30% of the vine stock is 50 years of age with the rest being 25-30 years of age on average. José Maria calls upon the experience of Ángel Anocibar, winemaker at globally renowned Abadia Retuerta at Sardón de Duero, for assistance in coaxing the best from his fruit.

These limestone-rich soils, while unable to support other types of agriculture, have been vital in supporting vines and here impart a certain elegance, power, and freshness to the grapes. He has been using organic farming methods since 2000, with his ‘La Revilla’ and ‘Tajo’ vineyards worked according to Biodynamic tenets.

In Navarra, he owns the single vineyard estate of Pasolasmonjas. This whole venture started while he was leisurely wandering around the Sant Martín de Unx area, accompanied by his Australian winemaker friend Dan Standish. Whilst taking a closer look at the plantations of old Garnacha, he became fascinated by the vines he discovered on the slopes and ravines here. When he came across the Pasolasmonjas estate, a project took shape in his mind and he immediately contacted the Coop. San Martín to find out more about this beautiful piece of land.

Gonzalo Celayeta Wines, San Martín de Unx, Navarra (O)

In 2006 Gonzalo Celayeta started work as a winemaker at Bodegas San Martín, within the subarea of Baja Montaña in the DO Navarra. He trained at EVENA (Navarra’s Viticulture and Oenology Centre), and launched his own project in 2004. Focusing on Garnacha, his production is very low producing between 10,000 to 13,000 bottles, which include his white, rosé and red wines. Unusually, the ‘El Caserio’ is barrel fermented in Spanish chestnut wood.

Bodegas Ostatu enjoys a prime position in Samaniego, in the heart of the famous Alavesa Basque region. María Asun Sáenz de Samaniego and her family run the 34 hectares estate. Winemaker Iñigo Sáenz de Samaniego (her brother) uses a mix of modern methods and French oak barrels to exploit the full potential of their superb vineyards, many planted with vines over 50 years of age. The result is a collection of precise wines with a great sense of terroir and well-preserved fruit.

Gregorio Martínez, Nalda, La Rioja Alta (P)

“Gregorio Martínez started his Rioja project in 1998, and somehow, he has been flying under the radar, because his wines are little known and deserve more attention....” Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate February 2018

The current winery was constructed in time for the 2001 vintage, with grapes sourced from a 120 hectare estate, 40 hectares of which are under vine. Located in the Iregua Valley, between the villages of Nalda, Sorzano & Entrena. The founder of the project was Gregorio Martínez, who started to purchase land around Sorzano, his wife’s hometown, in the late 1970’s/early 1980’s. Currently managed by his descendants, the project changed dramatically following the appointment of head winemaker Ricardo Cantera back in 2009.

A recently introduced range, Finca Gregorio Martínez, includes a clean, vibrant white Viura; a vibrant, pale-coloured rosé made from Tempranillo and a Mazuelo aged in oak for 8 months plus two single-varietal reds crafted from Tempranillo and Mazuelo respectively. Rather unusually the malolactic fermentation takes place in the same tank with skins, resulting in wines that exude a natural freshness.

Bodegas Félix Lorenzo Cachazo, Pozaldez, Valladolid, Rueda, Castilla y León (O)

One of the eight producers who originally created the DO Rueda back in 1980, the bodega dates as far back as 1946, though the family has been growing vines in the area for five generations. The work of Félix Lorenzo Cachazo continues today with his children Eduardo (sales manager) and Ángela (winemaker). Located in Pozaldez (Valladolid), they own 35 hectares of vineyards, including 9 hectares of pre-phylloxera vines destined for their barrel-fermented Verdejo.

The characteristic soils in the DO Rueda are stony with limestone, allowing good drainage. The significant difference in temperature between day and night (sometimes up to 20°C) means that Rueda benefits from a slower ripening process and a more aromatic expression of the Verdejo grape.

The large oak vats that were historically used to store the wine in underground cellars have almost disappeared in order to make way for modern equipment. As an original producer in the Rueda región, Félix continues to pave the way by producing a vibrant modern expression of the region, whilst steering away from the traditional, oxidative styles of the past.

Herrero Bodega, Nieva, Segovia, Rueda, Castilla y León (O)

Viñedos de Nieva was founded in 1989 by José María Herrero and his wife Janine Vedel, who acquired 60 hectares of vineyards which were in disarray, having been completely neglected for many years. It took a great deal of effort to restore these vineyards, especially to salvage many older vines of between 100-150 years old. In 2009 the Martue family purchased the bodega, however, in 2010, José Maria’s three sons - José María, Juan Miguel and Javier Herrero Vedel - exercised their option to be bought out and left the winery in the hands of the investor to do what he would with it. With only one vintage lost in the process and the money needed to continue the dream, the Herreros went down the road, literally, and began construction of the Herrero Bodega in 2011. Since the vineyards were never part of the investment deal the vines stayed in the family.

Nieva is famous for its deep, sandy soils with wines produced from the local white grape variety Verdejo, with a thriving winemaking tradition that dates back hundreds of years to the Jeronimo monks. Nieva has a very favourable natural environment for the production of high quality white wines, often considered the 'Grand Cru' of the terroirs of Rueda. With a high altitude of over 850m, Nieva’s climate is continental with very cold winters and hot, dry summers, ideal for perfect ripening and lower risk of disease. Most bodegas in Rueda are found in the northern part, where the soil is mostly clay, but here in the southern portion the soil is almost entirely sand with lots of river stones and clay subsoil, providing excellent quality. These sandy soils have literally saved this area from the ravages of phylloxera allowing for old ungrafted Verdejo vines to florish.

Bodegas Carmelo Rodero, Pedrosa de Duero, Ribera del Duero, Castilla y León (P)

Carmelo Rodero belongs to an ancient line of wine producers in the Ribera town of Pedrosa de Duero. From the time he was an adolescent, he began to invest his first earnings in new vine plantings, building up a considerable holding, even selling grapes from his then 50 hectares of vineyards to the legendary Vega Sicilia winery for 14 years. It was in 1990 that he embarked on his own project with his wife Elena. Today, a new generation has followed with daugthers Beatriz and María who have joined the winery.

Specific weather conditions characterize this part of the Ribera where Atlantic and continental influences come together with warm, dry summers and long, harsh winters leading to dramatic temperature fluctuations. Carmelo knows intimately every inch of his 140 hectares of vineyards here, his holdings divided into different terroirs in order to exploit the distinct types of loam perfectly. On average, the vines are now more than 30 years old, combining younger vinestocks with those that are more than 100 years of age. Their vineyards lie at elevations ranging from 750m in the valleys to 900m in the hills. The soils are mostly clay and chalk combined with pebbles, silts and sands.

In the winery Carmelo and his two daughters take the greatest care of the grapes simply using gravity. Techniques include 100% destemmed grapes, thorough control of the maceration and fermentation temperature, malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tank, ageing mostly in French oak (only a very small percentage of American oak is employed at the bodega) followed by a minimum bottle ageing of 3 months before release.

Bodegas Antídoto Bertrand Sourdais, Ribera del Duero, Castilla y León (P)

“[…] the wines from Bertrand Sourdais from Sourdais y Hernando and Dominio de ES, two young projects that have had a short but very positive evolution.”

Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate March 2017

After being Dominio de Atauta’s winemaker for several years and establishing the bodegas to the highest level, Bertrand Sourdais has returned to his native Loire region to take over the family property. However, his love and passion for the Ribera del Duero is still intact and he’s created Antídoto, a new, toned down version of Dominio de Atauta, sourced from 7 hectares of ancient vineyards, which are at least 60 years old (many date back to pre-phylloxera!).

Bodegas Rudeles, Peñalba de San Esteban, Ribera del Duero, Castilla y León (P)

The name Rudeles comes from the first few letters of each of the family names of the four owners: Ruperez, del Hoyo and Espinel. They have strived to make the most of their biggest asset, their 90yr old vineyards. Vineyards are located in Peñalba de San Esteban at the eastern end of the DO Ribera del Duero and cover 17 hectares at an altitude of over 900m. Vines are planted on the side of a hill in an array of tiny plots, some of them planted with only 50 vines. Almost all the vines are over 100yrs old, with some planted before the arrival of phylloxera, and all are capable of withstanding the harsh climate. Average annual rainfall is less than 400mm. Weather-wise, the sudden autumn gives way to cold winters, frost is quite common in springtime, but summer is hot with occasional violent thunderstorms. In all, Rudeles own fifty different plots of vineyard, all small, spread across 4 separate zones, each of which is vinified separately. Per vine, production can be as low as just 200 grams of grapes. High-tech winemaking ensures that the fruit of these vineyards is gently handled without over manipulation. The terroir and the bush vines impose that all vineyard tasks are performed manually. In the winery the winemaking process from grape reception, to fermentation, ageing, racking and bottling is strictly controlled.

Castell d'Encús, Costers del Segre, Talarn, Catalunya (O)

“Raül Bobet keeps producing superb wines high in the Pyrenees in the Costers del Segre appellation […] It's always a pleasure to taste these intellectual refreshing wines.”

Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate June 2015

Castell d'Encús is a very exciting project from Raül Bobet, following his time with Torres. In 2001, whilst searching for land in the foothills of the Catalan Pyrenées, Raül discovered a stunning estate at almost 1,000m above sea level dating back to the 12th century. Farming organically, he chose to plant 23 hectares of high density Riesling, Pinot Noir, Albariño, Sauvignon, Sémillon, Syrah and most of the classic Bordeaux grapes varieties. Inspired by his discovery of 9 medieval rock fermenters in the vineyards, Raül restored them back into working order and now ferments several wines in them, embedded in the rocky hillsides. The results are amazing: high natural acidity, superb length and mouth feel, with both reds and whites receiving a great deal of critical praise.

Mas d’en Blei, Priorat, Catalunya (P)

Mas d’en Blei includes 7 hectares of vineyards on the banks of the river Siurana, in Morera de Montsant, the heart of Priorat country. The vines grow amongst typical and striking Mediterranean landscape. There, perfectly integrated into the environment, stands the winery and a very old farmhouse, built before 1756. Mainly local varieties such as Garnacha and Cariñena are planted. The characteristic hallmarks of Priorat can easily be found at Mas d’en Blei: the prominence of ‘Llicorella’ (the local name for a type of slate) and “costers” (steeply sloping vineyards), resulting in very low yielding vines. The resulting wines reflect the uniqueness of this terroir as well as the care lavished on the winemaking process.

The municipality is the most extensive and northerly in the DOQ Priorat, occupying most of the Montsant mountain range. Close by to La Morera one finds the village of Cornudella de Montsant, home of Bodegas Noguerals, a very young estate having only been established in 2000. Proprietor Ramon Alzamora focuses on the traditional Catalan grape varieties, namely Garnacha Tinta & Cariñena as well as Syrah & Cabernet Sauvignon. This tiny artisanal operation owns just 5.5 hectares of vineyards in total, of which 4 hectares are classified in Priorat at 400m altitude and 1.5 hectares in neighbouring Montsant. All vines are planted on the classic soil of the area, namely ‘Llicorella’ schist/slate. Ramon's wines are full of expressive personality and exhibit a clear freshness.

Winemaker Raül Bobet is driven by a passion to make distinctive wines, which are unique expressions of Priorat’s terroir, characterised by their ultra silky tannins and refreshing acidity.

Bodegas Monfil, Cariñena, Aragón

Bodegas Monfil is situated in the northeast of Spain on the Ebro River, where the grape varieties Garnacha and Tempranillo are the speciality. Their vineyards cover approximately 22 hectares, over a myriad of different microclimates, due to soil variation, altitude variation and orientation differences. Still owned and run by the Matéo family, the business was originally established in 1943 but they did not bottle their own wine until the early 2000’s. Now run by siblings Maria, Victor and Ana, the bodega produces excellent wines that offer great value, especially due to the wonderful old vine Garnacha fruit exuberance!

Cherubino Valsangiacomo, Chiva, Valencia (P)

The origins of Cherubino Valsangiacomo date back to 1831, in Switzerland, when Vittore Valsangiacomo founded a winery under his name in Chiasso in the Swiss canton of Ticino next to the Italian border; their first family winery. At the end of the 19th century, his son Cherubino Valsangiacomo decided to open a wine export company in Valencia and Alicante; since he was attracted by the ports of Valencia and Alicante and the excellent grapes of this area. In 2002, the wineries were extended and modernized, with a new plant and bottling line created. 2008 saw the start of the Bobal de San Juán project for 100% Bobal wines fermented and matured in concrete tanks. As part of this project, the family took control of 10 hectares of a singular 100 year old vineyard.

Today, the fifth generation of the Valsangiacomo family is in charge of management, demonstrating their ongoing commitment to the future. The company currently produces wines under DOP Valencia and Utiel Requena denominations, as well as certified organic wines. The Viticultores de San Juán bodega is owned by the Valsangiacomo family, which represents the fifth generation of family winemaking. Built in 1960, the winery is located in the village of San Juan Bautista, about 60km west of Valencia. The vines here range from 60-80 years old. Since there was always a market for blending wines and grape concentrate, traditional growers in the Utiel-Requena region never had reason to rip out their old Bobal vines. Vineyards tend to be broad expanses of open acreage supporting bush-style vines grown without irrigation.

As the region began to focus more on quality of grapes rather than quantity, through the DOP Utiel-Requena, these ancient vines proved a huge asset. The San Juán winery itself is as old school as the vines, where the Valsangiacomos craft their Bobal red and rosé

in concrete tanks, whilst aging their wines in large barrels of French oak.

Bruno Murciano, Utiel-Requena, Valencia (O), (B)

“Bruno Murciano is a Spanish sommelier who works in London. Contrary to all odds, instead of investing in a flat in London, he decided to buy a Bobal vineyard in his homeland in Valencia […] they have produced a top-of-the-range red, El Sueño de Bruno a Bobal from chalky soils […] and there will be some more wines coming soon, like a fresh and pale Malkerida rosé and perhaps a new single-plot

Bobal red from sandy soils.” Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate February 2015

Bruno Murciano, one of the UK’s most well regarded Spanish Sommeliers, with more than 16 years of international experience, is pursuing a lifelong dream to produce a range of wines made from Bobal in his native homeland of Utiel-Requena. Working alongside his brother Jose Luís who looks after the viticulture and winemaking with the initial help of David Sampedro, one of Rioja Alavesa’s 5th generation of vine growers from an extremely talented winemaking family, they have combined their joint experience and passion to produce an amazing range of Artisan Family wines from high altitude 7 hectares of organically grown vineyards above 900m.

Bodegas Gutiérrez de la Vega, Parcent, Alicante (O)

In 1982, Felipe and Pilar moved into an old Almazara (olive mill) in the secluded village of Parcent, finding more space to work, along with greater accessibility to the diverse range of vineyard sites throughout their region. Currently the family farms 10 hectares of organically certified head-pruned vines around La Marina Alta, as well as inland in the Sierra de Salinas mountains. The earthy soils, high elevations, and proximity to the ocean allow the grapes to fully ripen while maintaining very good acidity. The grape varieties are as varied as the climate; Moscatel originates from the lower lying areas close to the ocean whilst Monastrell makes its home in the ungrafted sandy soils of the Sierra de Salinas mountains. Violeta, Felipe and Pilar’s talented winemaker daughter, is gradually taking over the reins from her parents. Their approach has always been artisan; natural yeasts are employed for fermentation and no other products are used in the winery except for judicious amounts of sulphur. Soleras are maintained for their highly acclaimed noble sweet wines and based on the direction of Felipe, there will be a bottling periodically with an age designation.

Blessed with a high proportion of some of the world’s largest collection of ungrafted old Monastrell vines planted on sandy soils, their vineyards also benefit from the coolness brought by the higher altitude.

Bodegas La Cigarrera, Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Andalucía

Bodegas La Cigarrera is a small, family-owned bodega in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, founded in 1758. The current bodega was purchased in 1891 by the great grandfather of the Hidalgo Garcia de Velasco brothers who run the firm today. The name of the bodega owes its origins to the women who used to sell cigarettes on the streets, on behalf of the big cigarette factories in Cadiz and Sevilla. Due to historical regulations of the Consejo Regulador, the company originally operated as an “almacenista”, a stock-keeper who sells their wines to bigger shipping bodegas (e.g. Lustau). In 1998, after the regulations had changed, they started to bottle their own wines for the first time. The company still uses the original bodegas in the Plaza Madre de Dios in the Barrio Bajo (lower part) of Sanlúcar, which hold a total of around 500 casks (including some of the oldest in town).

González-Byass, Jerez de la Frontera, Andalucía

“Gonzalez Byass is one of the greatest, historical names in Sherry (and Brandy)” Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate August 2013

González-Byass is one of the most iconic estates in Jerez, producing some of the region’s finest wines for over 175 years. We are thrilled to offer a handpicked selection of their rarest and oldest Sherries. Named after the palma chalk used by winemaker Antonio Flores and the cellar masters to mark a wine’s maturity, the ‘Palmas’ range is fuller bodied and intensely aromatic. Matured in oak casks for a minimum of 30 years, their Rare Old Solera Sherries are a true expression of some of the world’s finest and rarest wines.

Pérez Barquero, Montilla-Moriles, Córdoba, Andalucía

“[…] they produce an impressive array of both dry and sweet wines , whose main characteristic is balance, elegance and finesse. […] Perez Barquero represents the quality summit of Montilla-Moriles.”

Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate August 2013

Pérez Barquero was established back in 1905 within the historic town of Montilla, south of Córdoba and in 1985 the winery was purchased by Rafael Córdoba. Montilla-Moriles is a Spanish DO located in the south of the province of Córdoba and is bounded by 3 rivers Genil to the east, Guadajoz to the west, and Guadalquivir to the north, and the Subbetic Range of mountains to the south.

Pérez Barquero own almost 100 hectares of vineyards, all of which are located on chalky soils in the highest quality zones of the Sierra de Montilla and Moriles Alto. The majority of plantings are Pedro Ximénez (PX), indigenous to the Rin valley. The pressing house is located near the vineyards; as the ambient temperature can reach almost 38°C during harvest, hence maintaining freshness in the grapes is key. It is traditional in Montilla-Moriles to use 6000L amphoras called tinajas, of which Pérez Barquero uses cement tinajas. Fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks, but there is still about 5% residual sugar when the wine is moved to the tinajas. It is here that the wine finishes its alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, and where a layer of flor first develops.

Pérez Barquero’s 350 tinajas are stored in a large two storey room with high ceilings and open windows to control the temperatures. The wine ferments on indigenous yeasts; very important in order to fully ferment these high sugar/ high alcohol wines. These natural yeasts develop into the flor which gives these wines their particular character, where after they continue to ferment naturally to 15-16% ABV. The wine then rests in tinajas for one year, from September through to September. After one year the wines are moved to 500L double tapered American oak barrels known as sherry butts. Fino is raised in the solera system in a cooler temperature-controlled cellar than other wines. Oloroso and PX are also raised in a solera system but aged in warmer cellars with a great deal of air contact.

Sharing his father’s passion, Sandro continues this dream through Domaine de Bargylus, working with the help of the world famous Bordeaux winemaking consultant Stéphane Derenoncourt. His aim is to produce powerful and complex wines, which are typically Mediterranean in style, from the estate’s 20 hectares of beautiful vineyards planted in 2003 on ancient soils lying 990m above sea level facing the Mediterranean Sea.

Pedro holds a PhD in Terroir from the Paris Centre of Agriculture, with six years’ experience working with French terroirs. As a highly respected consultant working in several countries (Chile, Argentina, USA, Italy, Canada, France, Armenia), Pedro brings an open mind and vision to winemakers and viticulturists alike. As a result, his innovative work was included in the prestigious “Decanter Magazine Power List” in 2009, 2011 and 2013. Pedro has been described as the leading figure of the “New Chile” movement by the international press, in part because of his constant endeavour to bring a new vision to the Chilean wine industry, searching for quality terroirs and developing new plantings throughout the country. All of the vineyards he works with are located in the South of Chile, about 400 km south of Santiago. The soils here are a mix of 220-300 million years old schist and granite.

Nuy Winery, Worcester, Breede River Valley

“Very impressed by this affordable sweet wine from South Africa. It’s remarkable value for money.” Jamie Goode, wineanorak.com November 2013

Nuy (pronounced Nay) Muskadel is a Cape classic, although barely known outside of South Africa. Winning acclaim with every vintage, it is a sweet and ridiculously inexpensive fortified dessert wine, delicious on release, but also with great potential for ageing. Muskadel (Afrikaans spelling) is the local name for both Muscat de Frontignan and Muscat Blanc à Petit Grains. The production method involves mulching the grapes and allowing the juice to remain in contact with the skins for 36 to 48 hours. After separation, the skins are pressed and then the must is fortified to around 16.5% alcohol. Very little, if any, fermentation takes place. It can be served chilled or at room temperature for older examples. The wine is extremely durable on opening, remaining fresh for many weeks, making it an ideal choice for restaurants wanting to offer a cracking by-the-glass pouring option.

Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate April 2017

This family farm was founded in the mid-1990s by Cape Wine Master, Dave Johnson and his wife, Felicity (née Newton) and within the past twenty years has built a reputation for producing some of the South Africa’s finest Pinot Noir. Three Platter Five Star wines in the current guide is a fine achievement. Today it is very much their son Gordon, partnered by his wife, Nadia, who are responsible for the winemaking, whilst Bevan looks after the commercial aspects of the business.

Campbells, Rutherglen, Victoria

“Crafted by families who have specialised in the genre for generations, these are generous wines, lingering and intense, with great depth of flavour.”

Sarah Ahmed, thewinedetective.co.uk December 2010

Originally, from St Andrews in Fife, the first of the Campbell clan arrived in Rutherglen over 140 years ago with the intention of mining gold. When the ‘Bobbie Burns’ seam was exhausted, the family stayed on, turning their hands first to sheep farming before diversifying into viticulture. Today fourth generation brothers, Colin and Malcolm Campbell, have re-established the reputation of these once legendary fortified Muscat wines. Their Rutherglen Muscat is aged in a solera system for an average of 5 years.

Awatere River by Louis Vavasour, Lower Dashwood, Marlborough

First settling in New Zealand in 1887, the Vavasour family pioneered commercial grape growing and winemaking. Drawing on over a century of their family’s winemaking tradition, Peter and Anna Vavasour created the Awatere River Wine Company in 1986 by planting the first vines in the Dashwood district of Marlborough. Made in limited quantities, Awatere River by Louis Vavasour (Peter and Anna's son) is a collection of award winning, premium quality wines that reflect the distinctive terroir of the alluvial river flats on which they were grown. Opting not to trade on the family name, but to focus on everything he loves most about the region, Louis’ Pinot Gris has an exceptional length, structure and complexity.

Giesen (Premium Range), Wairau Valley, Marlborough (P)

(The Brothers Selection & Single Vineyard Series)

Giesen's first vineyard, established in 1981, was located south of Marlborough in Burnham, an area on the outskirts of Christchurch. The Giesen brothers, Alex, Marcel and Theo, originally from Germany, cultivated the world's southernmost vineyard at the time. In 1993, they moved north to Marlborough, where they purchased and converted a dairy farm into vineyards. The Giesen family now own and manage 13 vineyard sites in Marlborough, mainly the Wairau Valley, planted primarily to Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, with organic viticulture playing a significant role in several locations.

Bell Hill Vineyard, Weka Pass, North Canterbury (B)

“In just a couple of decades since it was established, Bell Hill has deservedly become one of the most sought-after labels in New Zealand”

Joe Czerwinski, The Wine Advocate February 2018

Bell Hill Vineyard, so named for the bell-like shape on the southern side of its hill, was established in 1997 by Marcel Giesen and Sherwyn Veldhuizen. Situated in an ancient, north-facing limestone quarry in the Weka Pass, North Canterbury, the vineyard now covers 2 hectares of high-density plantings. The Weka Pass area was previously unplanted with grapes, but Marcel and Sherwyn were drawn to the pure chalky limestone soils and calcareous clays. With a delicate touch and focus on excellence, Marcel and Sherwyn are passionate about using Burgundian techniques to craft their stunning range of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines. Biodynamic farming is also at the heart of their vineyard activities, as they believe it is integral to growing top quality fruit, whilst allowing for the ultimate expression of this unique terroir.

Domaine Rewa, Pisa Range, Central Otago (P)

“Philippa Fourbet is a Francophile, and was inspired by the wines of Burgundy to possess her own vineyard and make her own wine [...] She produced her own wines in 2011. Since then, the vineyard has become certified BioGro organic under the viticultural eyes of Grant

Roulston and Gary Ford of Vinewise. She has engaged Pete Bartle of VinPro to make her wines, which are very well-regarded in the market and highly successful on the show circuit...“

Raymond Chan, raymondchanwinereviews.co.nz February 2018 We are thrilled to be working with Domaine Rewa, an up and coming producer from the Central Otago. With a tiny 5.5ha single vineyard nestled in the foothills of the Pisa Range on the unique fluvial terrace, owner Philippa Fourbet, together with winemaker Pete Bartle, is pursuing her lifelong dream of producing refined wines from her homeland in Central Otago inspired by the elegance of Burgundy. These superbly pure and perfumed wines are produced following a biodynamic regime in order to fashion the best possible expressions of their Central Otago terroir.

Terms & Conditions

Ownership All goods remain the property of H2Vin Ltd until payment in full has been received for the wine and any other sums owed to H2Vin Ltd. Until title passes, the customer will hold the wine as trustees for H2Vin Ltd. The wine is to be stored securely and is to be easily identifiable as wine supplied by H2Vin Ltd.

Lien In circumstances where H2Vin Ltd holds wine on behalf of the customer, the company shall have a right of lien on such wine for any debts, claims and liabilities whatsoever for which you may from time to time be liable to the company whether or not the same is due. The company shall exercise the right of lien at its discretion by the sale of goods and will retain the proceeds towards or to meet all debts, claims and liabilities due or to become due by the customer to the company.

Payment Payment is due on placing an order, prior to delivery.

Prices All prices are per case of 12 bottles (75cl), 12 bottles (50cl), 6 magnums (150cl), 3 jéroboams (300cl) or 24 half bottles (37.5cl) on the left column and per bottle on the right column, Duty Paid inclusive of VAT unless stated otherwise.

Deliveries Delivery is free of charge within the M25 for all orders of a value of £350 or more (including VAT) at full Private Customer List prices. Separate quotes can be given for deliveries South, North and West of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The minimum order is one standard case (12 bottles, 6 magnums, 3 jéroboams, 24 half bottles, or a pro-rata combination thereof). We can at times offer an ‘Emergency Same Day Delivery’ service within the M25 for orders placed before 9am. However, please note that same day delivery cannot always be guaranteed. A delivery surcharge will be applicable at the rate enforced by London City Bond at the time of delivery.

Claims/Risk All wine shall be at the buyer’s risk from the point of delivery to the buyer. Upon receipt, you must examine the wine delivered and must sign to confirm receipt on the delivery note provided. Shortages, damages or errors must be noted on the proof of delivery note along with notifying H2Vin Ltd immediately at the time of delivery (up to 24 hours) to enable us to support your claim. You must also retain such wine and packaging, making it available for inspection and collection by H2Vin Ltd. Please note that claims made outside of these terms and conditions cannot be guaranteed, as insurance may not cover. Following delivery, client storage areas must be within the minimum grounds of correct temperature control, humidity and hygiene. Our Producers/ Insurance will only guarantee credit assistance cover on faulty wines (TCA/Oxidisation) whilst in our own registered and data calibrated (via telemetry) temperature-controlled storage facilities at London City Bond; thereafter no other 3rd party facilities will be covered, based on unregulated cellar hygiene/ poorly stored/ non calibrated temperature-controlled facilities. You must notify H2Vin Ltd immediately at the time of discovering a faulty bottle (up to 24 hours), with a full explanation of the wines specific technical fault along with the date the bottle was opened, Lot number and cork code to enable us to support your claim. Where deemed reasonable credit will be provided on faulty goods. Please note that there is a 6-month window cut off period on crediting faulty goods from date of delivery. Each scenario will be evaluated individually. Claims after 6 months can potentially be credited only if we receive credit in return from the original source. H2Vin will endeavour to ensure all confirmed orders are met, however, if in the unlikely event due to any unforeseen circumstances outside of H2Vin’s control, whereby we are unable to fulfil your order (due to producer failure, shortfall in logistics or for any other reason) we will offer you similar wines, or will refund you in full at the original Invoice price without any liability to you. If any unpaid invoices are outstanding from you to H2Vin a credit will be raised for the amount(s) you owe to H2Vin, from which we will confirm this in writing.

General Customer’s details will be held confidentially. This List cancels all previous lists. AWRS URN XSAW00000100464 E&OE November 2019
