Champagne Champagne Dehours, Cerseuil A fourth generation independent grower, Jérôme Dehours, along with his brother-in-law Jean-Marc Laisne, has produced a marvellous range of Champagnes from their numerous parcels of vines split between Mareuil-le-Port, Oeuilly and Troissy. The non-vintage white has a light, delicate nose with apple and citrus notes – a perfect aperitif. The rosé has a very pale rose petal colour that again reflects the delicate palate that is a blend between Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and a larger percentage of Pinot Meunier. Jérôme has been a great find for us as his wines are not only of high quality but also extremely well priced.

With a majority of Grand Cru Chardonnay vineyards the wines are very classy and reflect the quality of the vineyard work he puts in. In a recent issue of the Revue des Vins de France, Agrapart Champagnes were ranked among the best Grande Marques Cuvées, and the ‘Les 7 Crus’, a blend of seven different Premier and Grand Cru vineyards, scored 92 points on the other side of the Atlantic. Very exciting growers’ Champagne.

As a Pinot Noir dominant-grower (in contrast to Agrapart’s Chardonnay based wines, and Dehours’ predilection with Pinot Meunier) his wines show plenty of red fruit aromas and depth.

Loire We take a lot of pride in our list of growers from the Loire, and while the region may not have the blue chip status of Bordeaux, or the exclusive nature of Burgundy, the area has more than its fair share of superstars: Domaine Didier Dagueneau, Clos Rougeard, Alphonse Mellot. One could very easily get the Loire Eye Spy book out and start ticking off all those that Genesis lists. Though diverse in style they all have a similar theme running through them that is in tune with the drinkers of here and now – they are refreshing and moreish, with incisive fruit flavours and definite sense of place. The only downside is the growing number of wines on allocation. Many of these growers are now so successful that demand vastly outstrips supply and we recommend that you contact a member of our sales team to secure wines from the more sought after among them.

Pascal & Nicolas Reverdy, Sancerre Another tragic loss to the wine world that leaves a gaping hole: Nicolas Reverdy was killed in a terrible accident in late 2007, leaving that year’s wine as the last made by his hands. And extremely good they are too now that they are in bottle – a fitting tribute. However, his bother Pascal has taken over the running of the property and continues the hard work done over the past fifteen years that has established this domaine as one of the best in the region. White LOW06008S Sancerre Terre Maimbray 2008 111.00 85.00 LOW06107S Sancerre Les Anges Lots 2007 147.50 120.50 Rosé LOR06308S Sancerre Rosé 2008 106.00 80.00 Red LOR06207S Sancerre Rouge Terre Maimbray 2007 122.00 95.50 LOR06406S Sancerre Rouge á Nicolas 2006 150.00 123.00 Masson Blondelet, Pouilly Fumé What do you do when you make wines in an appellation that is home to one of the true, all be it eccentrically incomparable greats of all time, Didier Dagueneau? Become disillusioned that you will never be noticed, or work doubly hard to create the very best possible? It is of course the second route that Jean-Michel Masson takes and as a result we think this has to be one of the domaines to follow in the Loire. With a fast growing and fanatical following these are delightful and impressive wines that should be tried now before they achieve a cult status of their own. White LOW08007S Pouilly Fumé Villa Paulus 2007 115.00 85.00 LOW08107S Pouilly Fumé Pierres de Pierre 2007 128.00 101.50 Vignoble des Bois Vaudon, Touraine The young and talented Jean-François Merieau is making superb wines from his large 50 hectare property in the Cher. Jean-François is one of the rare producers in this unfashionable area, who is working and picking manually to achieve lower yields and higher concentration. This has a cost but the results are well worth the effort. The wines are well defined, showing great typicity but with a modern twist and super drinkability. Not to mention some very attractive labels.

François Chidaine, Husseau With all the fashionable fuss surrounding Sauvignon Blanc and the selective amnesia with respect to the Muscadet-overdosing of the 1980s, the central appellations of the Loire are often overlooked. However the terrific range of wines of François Chidaine from Montlouis and Vouvray are the best find we have made in the Loire in the past four years. The wines show well young but have the stuffing to get better with age; the Baudoin and Bouchet cuvées in particular show some ageworthy sweetness. In short a grower to get excited about.

Domaine Didier Dagueneau, Pouilly Fumé The wine world is still spinning from the freakish and premature death of the Master of the Loire Didier Dagueneau. Undisputedly the finest grower in the Loire, Didier was in the vanguard of groundbreaking producers in the whole of France. The world even. He will be truly missed by us at Genesis and the wine drinking world, however the show goes on and the 2007 wines released now were of course made by Didier and as such were been snapped up; please contact the sales team to be considered for any allocations of the soon to be offered 2008s. Philippe Delesvaux, Layon Philippe Delesvaux’s reputation is growing year after year, not least because despite the undoubted quality of his wines, the prices are shockingly good value for money. His Coteaux du Layons are sublime, with just enough freshness to balance the natural sweetness. The straight Layon is always hugely popular and incredible value, but lovers of sweet wines fight over the limited quantities of the other cuvées, especially the immensely rich and unctuous Séléction de Grains Nobles. White LOW15008B Coteaux du Layon 2008 96.50 70.50 LOW15106F Coteaux du Layon Séléction de Grains Nobles 50cl 2006 259.00 237.00

Domaine de l’Ecu, Sèvre et Maine Guy Bossard was, and still is, one of France’s pioneers of biodynamics – he has run his domaine according to those principles for nearly two decades. As you would expect of one who is dedicated fully to a holistic approach to viticulture, Bossard names his Muscadet after the soil composition of the vineyard, hence the geological persuasion. As well as great expressions of terroir these wines are fantastically ageworthy. This year we also introduce l’Ecru’s Gros Plant – a better priced partner for oysters you will not find. White LOW20107B Gros Plant 2007 78.00 53.00 LOW20007B Muscadet Terroir Gneiss 2007 94.00 68.00 Alphonse Mellot, Sancerre Today the wines of the best estate in Sancerre are made by the nineteenth generation of the Mellot family, Alphonse Junior, with his father Alphonse Senior on hand to pass on his vast experience. The whites they make are some of the most complex and intense Sauvignons around owing to the high average age of the vines and varying degrees of oak used in the élevage. As for the reds, these are as close as you can get to fine Burgundy in the Loire and as such need time to reach their full potential. White LOW07408S Sancerre La Moussiere 2008 147.50 120.50 Domaine Pellé, Menetou Salon Menetou is definitely coming out of the shadow from his its more illustrious Sauvignon producing neighbours, Pouilly Fumé and Sancerre. And if you want to know what this appellation’s superstar equivalent of Mellot and Dagueneau is then look no further than Domaine Pellé. The talented Julien Zernott, along with Anne Pellé, has taken this winery from strength to strength. Of course the fact that Julien is great friends with Alphonse Mellot doesn’t hurt when it comes to picking up the odd trick or two.

Burgundy Burgundy epitomises Genesis’ approach to our growers: invariably small operations with an intense affinity towards the land and an overriding sense of place. Yes, Burgundy can be mercurial but the region has never been on better form and produced more consistently than it does now; be it the heights of the wonderful 2005 vintage or the contrasting 2006s and 2007s. The artisan approach of Burgundy producers leads to small, if not miniscule allocations and many of the wines that we list do not make it into print on a price list such as this that must last for half the year. Our En Primeur offer, released in January every year, is often the best way to secure stocks of the more sought after wines from the likes of: Domaine Denis Mortet, Domaine Sylvie Esmonin, Domaine Jacques Frédéric Mugnier, Domaine Henri Gouges, Domaine Guy Roulot, Domaine Louis Carillon, Domaine Vincent Dauvissat. Further stocks of top Burgundies can also be found in our monthly Fine Wine list. Chablis Domaine Billaud-Simon, Chablis Billaud Simon is now consistently producing some of the most beautiful wines in the appellation which has been confirmed by the worldwide success of the domaine. Every wine from the simple Chablis to the best Grand Cru is full of mineral expression and class, with an almost electric tension and structure. However skilful Bernard Billaud is in the winery though, even he cannot control the weather gods – 2007 saw significant losses owing to hail and so quantities for this vintage are down on what we would normally expect. Look out for the 2008s.

She makes classical, unforced wines that are the epitome of the terroirs she works with and cultivates using organic techniques. Not only does she produce lithe Chablis but she also crafts equally chic and interesting wines from lesser famed Aligoté, Sauvignon de Saint Bris and Petit Chablis. The Crémant is a new and very welcome addition this year to our sparkling range.

He makes Chablis that requires time to evolve and reach the dizzying heights that set him apart from the rest. His top wines will, in good vintages, last well past their twentieth birthdays and even the supposedly basic ones can take three to four years to evolve. These wines are unfortunately only available in tiny quantities so please speak to your salesperson for information on allocations of the 2008s. White BUC05007B Petit Chablis 2007 123.50 97.00 Laurent Tribut, Poinchy An apprentice to the master so to speak; Laurent is Vincent Dauvissat’s brother in law, and makes wine in a similar top quality vein. He has learned well from his great mentor and utilises older oak barrels which create harmonious and accessible wines from the outset without sacrificing the flinty aspects and startling minerality of his terroir.

Côte de Beaune Maison Deux Montille, Meursault Deux Montille, run by brother and sister team Etienne and Alix de Montille, is the négociant business of the family’s Volnay-based domaine. With a large quality-filled range stretching from the lesser appellations in the Côte Chalonnaise to grander cuvées of the Côte d’Or, the wines are a great way to experience the De Montille style without having to join the lengthy waiting list for an allocation of the domaine wines.

Recent vineyard purchases have seen the domaine extend its range beyond its Volnay heartland into the Côte de Nuits. These are amongst the finest wines in the Côte de Beaune and display absolute purity and class.

Patrick is a talented perfectionist which shows in his subtle and elegant reds. His whites are looked after by Guillaume Bott (formerly the winemaker at Domaine Sauzet), and mirror Patrick’s desire for perfection. These wines are best sourced through our En Primeur offer in January. Red BUR03507S Savigny Lès Beaune Les Bourgeots 2007 193.00 165.00 Louis Carillon, Puligny Montrachet As one of the superstar properties of the Côte de Beaune, Carillon doesn’t really need much introduction. Suffice it to say they perennially make some of the best Puligny around. Father Louis has long since handed the winemaking reigns to the next generation Jacques, and the allocations are still highly sort after.

Alain Chavy, Puligny Montrachet Alain and his brother Jean-Louis split their father Gerard’s vineyards in 2002 and Alain has now earned the respect of the top, more established, producers in the village by making some fabulous wines. With the hallmarks of classic Puligny, they are mineral and precise, without too much oak or sweet fruit. As well as village sites, he owns vineyards in the Premier Crus of Pucelles, Champs Gains, Clavoillons and Folatières. All the wines represent great value from this exulted village. White BUW33007S Puligny Montrachet 2007 184.00 156.00 BUW33107S Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Folatieres 2007 284.50 254.00 Domaine de Courcel, Pommard De Courcel is a family owned domaine with a twist; they appointed a winemaker, Yves Confuron, from another property (see Confuron-Cotetidot on page13). Yves has introduced longer élévage and concentration-inducing vineyard management techniques that result in wines for the more patient among us. Once these structured yet silky wines open up though, they show incredible fruit quality and balance that will guarantee to impress. Stocks are scarce so please contact us about our En Primeur offer.

Classy wines with concentration and precision, we are extremely proud to have them in our portfolio, with even the straight Bourgogne cuvées having a cult following of their own.

The whites have a delightful ripeness to them but serious vinousity on the palate too, while the reds have an unforced lightness showing a marked femininity and freshness.

The change of personnel at the helm has not led to a deviation from the well-regarded house style, though Vincent has replaced the name Bernard on the most recent cuvées. Do not let the lack of a Grand Cru ‘trophy’ in the portfolio put you off ; Morey’s wines are eyed enviously by his neighbours.

Whereas you might expect the new kid on the block to make very 21st century opulent wines, his style actually seems to be far more angular and adroit, and are sure to be a success with true lovers of white Burgundy.

Côte de Nuits Hubert Chauvenet-Chopin, Nuits Saint Georges This quite large domaine is run by the quiet, hard working Hubert Chauvenet. Hubert prefers working in his vineyards or cellar rather than spending time promoting and talking about his wines. The style is a true representation of serious Pinot Noir from Nuits Saint Georges without huge extract or lots of oak.

Betrand’s dependable and down-to-earth character comes to the fore though and provides a stabilising basis. These are not showboat wines, but traditional Burgundy, with the Premier Crus each reflecting their unique terroir. A wider range is often available on our Fine Wine List.

His wines are very much in the ageworthy camp as he produces reds with firm structure that can appear a little impenetrable when young. After some time in the cellar though they transform into wines with tremendous power and very pure fruit. He also makes the wines at Domaine de Courcel, Pommard.

Today Pierre manages the vineyards and Christian the vinification, with the latter combining a modern winery with traditional concrete vat vinification.

Frédéric Magnien, Morey Saint Denis Frédéric Magnien is a very enterprising winemaker, producing great wines from judiciously sourced grapes. He only works with growers who follow his stringent guidelines on vineyard management, thus leading to low-yielding, high quality fruit. His winemaking talents can then truly shine and his impressive range, from the simple regional appellations to some rare Grand Crus, shows these skills off to the fullest.

Domaine Mortet, Gevrey Chambertin Denis’ son Arnaud has been at the helm of this estate for two years now after his father’s tragic passing. Mortet Junior has taken the domaine’s wines in a more feminine direction with less extraction and oak dominant flavours; instead sweet and delicate fruit profiles come to the fore. They are beautiful and remarkably approachable wines, though his top cuvées are extremely hard to get ones hands’ on. We advise securing stocks of these wines in our En Primeur offer in January.

Chalonnaise, Mâconnais & Beaujolais Christophe Cordier, Pouilly Fuissé We have been working with Christophe for several years now and as each one goes by he continues to confirm that he is one of the stand out producers of the Mâconnais. His wines have the style and balance of more illustrious villages further north but with a trade mark added concentration. He also succeeds in expressing the differences in all his vineyards; some are richer and fatter, others racier and more mineral.

As well as running a cooperage he is also an accomplished athlete (indulging in the very French passion of cycling) and acts as consultant winemaker in several countries including Spain where he makes a superb Pinot Noir in the cooler region of Somontano. A 21st century Renaissance Man? However, it is his family domaine in Mercurey where his true roots lie and where he makes stylish red Burgundy of classical precision.

Although Gamay may not be the most fashionable of grape varieties, it can produce attractive, fruit driven wines in the light and refreshing style that is very much in demand at the moment. Red BUB02007B Fleurie 2007 92.00 66.00 Nicolas Maillet, Verzé Nicolas is a very talented young producer who has a small parcel of vines that lie next to the village of Verzé in the heart of the Mâconnais. No oak is used in the production of his whites. Surprising owing to the weight and complexity of the wines, though this fact can be explained by low yields and the higher than average age of vines – around 50 years old.

Rhône For all intents and purposes the Rhône Valley is where Genesis’ heart is: the company’s first En Primeur campaign, the 2003 Rhônes, is what put us on the wine merchant map. The dual nature of the region geographically (North–South), viticulturally (Grenache or Syrah) and in the appellations (established ACs versus the new up-and-coming spots) makes this a forever interesting and dynamic region. Last but not least, while the top wines of more illustrious regions such as Bordeaux and Burgundy require deep pockets, the cru wines of the Rhône still represent good value for money. That said, the cat is untying the bag and the most recent vintage, 2007, was a stellar one and has been received with particular fanfare and acclaim. Some of more desirable cuvées are on tight allocations and are best sourced when we release our previously mentioned En Primeur campaign in November each year. This includes the likes of René Rostaing, Domaine de Marcoux, Clos du Cailou, Domaine de la Mordorée, Pegau and Vieille Julienne. Northern Rhône Aléofane (Natacha Chave), Mercurol Chave by name and Chave by nature – Natacha is the younger sister of the prominent winemaker Yann Chave and it is obvious that a nose for quality parcels of vines runs in the family. Striking out on her own only a couple of years ago she makes just two wines for now under the Aléofane moniker: a Saint Joseph from a small 1.5 hectare plot, and a debutant vintage Crozes Hermitage from old vines. A star has been born and definitely one to follow with excitement. Red RHN12107S Crozes Hermitage 2007 134.50 108.00 RHN12007S Saint Joseph 2007 136.00 109.00 Domaine Colombier, Tain l’Hermitage The Viale brothers only relatively recently started to make their wines themselves – up until 1991 they sold all their grapes on – and indeed half their 20 hectares are devoted to fruit farming. However, part timers they are not, and in the past 18 years they have shot to the top of the Crozes Hermitage tree and are now considered one of the best producers. They own a hectare and half of straight Hermitage vines but their Crozes surpasses many growers wines from the more illustrious appellation. Red RHN05306B Hermitage 2006 302.50 272.00

Pierre Gaillard, Malleval Having cut his teeth by working for Guigal in the 1980s (Pierre had the equally arduous and loving task of tending the La Turque vineyard) and actually owning more red vines than white, you would expect Pierre Gaillard to have made his reputation on Côte Rôties and Saint Josephs. Not so; the name Gaillard is interchangeable with Condrieu wines of the very best quality. As well as the Northern Rhône, the ever busy vigneron has projects in Banyuls and Faugères.

Having taken over the domaine from his father Michel, he has expanded the vineyard holdings to 11 hectares. These include clever plantings the other side of the river from Vienne that are labelled as Vin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennes. The portfolio as a whole, reds and whites, over delivers up and down the scale, showing not just the polished depth and concentration of a young winemaker in his stride, but with added finesse and delicacy that reveals his rare talent. It will not be long before Ogier junior has a reputation that equals, if not surpasses, that of Monsieur Rostaing.

René Rostaing, Ampuis René continues to be one of the great characters in the Rhône valley and his Côte Rôties are world famous. His passion and character are evident in his winemaking and his rules are simple: lots of hard work in the vineyard followed by minimal intervention in the cellar, with gentle extraction and skilful handling of oak. The results are incontestable. He produces wines that are fine, medium to full bodied, delicate and perfectly balanced, that while providing immediate pleasure, have the structure to age for fifteen plus years. Red RHN09007S Côte Rôtie 2007 317.00 286.00 François Villard, Saint Michel François’ operation is a great example of the modern Rhône; a relative newcomer (he started in the wine game just over 15 years ago) there has been extensive investment in his winery and cuverie, and selection of the parcels of grapes is exemplarily. The resulting wines are then treated to the best wood money can buy; be it new or older. A more expressive, passionate and driven vigneron you will not come across.

Southern Rhône Domaine Denis Alary, Cairanne Though Cairanne does not have the cachet of some of the more well-known southern appellations it is one of the best of the Côtes du Rhône Villages. The Alary family have been farming their estate for many a generation and now under Denis’ stewardship the wines have quietly obtained best-in-area status. Mainly Grenache-led (apart from the Syrah dominant Font d’Estevenas) these supple and unassuming wines are brilliant value for money.

The wines though are exceptional and great value. The style of his wines is big, round and intense, with overtones of spice and provençal herbs and they have remarkable richness and complexity, especially the Côté Terroir.

Costières de Nîmes is one of those slightly schizophrenic appellations that is often listed with southern French and Languedoc wines, even though it is situated in the Rhône delta. It is possibly the preponderance of Syrah planted that tips the balance in the favour of the south, and this is reflected in blends of Natalie’s rosés and reds. The whole range has impressive complexity for the price point and great drinkability.

They can last for several decades and outgun many other Châteauneuf du Papes that promised more in their youth.

Domaine Chaume-Arnaud, Vinsobres A relatively large estate situated in the village of Vinsobres, Chaume-Arnaud is run using biodynamic principles. Producers of a beautiful white blend that is head and shoulders above most other Southern Rhône whites, their reds see no oak in their élevage. The results are wines with a purity and freshness that make them great drinking at an early age. We were introduced to this domaine by Bruno Gaspard of Clos du Caillou; kudos to Bruno for highlighting such a promising grower.

Sébastien Vincenti has been making fabulous wines in the Ventoux for years and has a passionate following. His reds in particular display a remarkable complexity and drinkability.

Made biodynamically with minimal use of sulphur, if any at all, they have a wonderful freshness and precision to them. It doesn’t hurt either that the vineyards are situated high up in just about the most northerly corner of the Southern Rhône, with the colder nights inducing feminine-tinged elegance as opposed to muscular power. Great wines and Genesis favourites.

However, they have still kept his pricing feet on the ground under this attention onslaught. This does not mean that the wines are any easier to get your hands on, with his stable of thoroughbred Châteauneufs still likely to have the masses fighting over limited allocations.

Catherine’s area of responsibility lies in the vineyards, using biodynamic techniques, while Sophie’s domain is in the cellar. There she uses large vats and not a centimetre of new oak. The result has been more than one of the legendary 100 point marks from Robert Parker, but these highly sought after wines are not super extracted monsters; they are extremely pleasurable with feminine elegance and graceful poise.

Domaine La Monardière, Vacqueyras Founded in 1987, La Monardière is located in the heart of Vacqueyras, right at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail. Christian Vache and now his son Damien look after the 20 hectares of vineyards themselves using as few chemicals as possible. The wines are dramatic and powerful with a concentration and seriousness that is comparable with the top domaines in Châteauneuf du Pape.

But it was not for his rugged good looks or charming family that he was chosen, though he has both. Christophe is also one of the very best vignerons in the country (and the world according to a rather influential Baltimore-based writer) and makes beautifully supple and complex wines from Lirac and Châteauneuf du Pape.

That said, a change of style has taken place over the past year or so with the adoption of less intense extraction and marathon cuvaisons. Instead the wines appear more approachable with overt fruit character. Yves is still the same robust and direct man, but his wines now have a broader appeal – surely a good thing for this village.

The man in charge of this legacy, and some of the most sought-after wines in Châteauneuf du Pape, is Jean-Paul Daumen. The vines are farmed biodynamically and there is minimum use of sulphur and fining in the winery. The results are pure expressions of the deep-rooted vines and their grapes.

Southern France Clos de l’Anhel, Corbières Philippe Matthias and Sophie Guiraudon continue to make wines way above their appellation status. Despite having to work overtime (they also manage Château Pech Latt), they have managed in the space of only a few years to build a solid reputation. Heaped with praise by the national and international press, the wines are always pure and refreshing with plenty of acidity due to the altitude and terroir but they also have real ripeness and concentration. Red FRL14006S Corbières Terrassettes 2006 87.00 61.50 Domaine de Bachellery, Vin de Pays d’Oc Bernard Julien owns a large property near Béziers and produces high quality reds from his low yielding vineyards.

Using a mix of organic and biodynamic methods Stéphane Bourret has reinvigorated this property that consists of 28 hectares of mainly Mourvèdre vines plus a sprinkling of Grenache. Another dimension to the domaine is its situation near Sainte Anne du Castellet, which is one of the highest parts of the appellation and thus gives an extra dose of freshness to the wines.

Seduced by a magnificent set of abandoned vineyards in Collioure, reminiscent of his steep vineyards in Côte Rôtie, Pierre changed the old fashioned winemaking techniques used in the region and applied an extensive restorative regime in the vineyards.

Located in Maury, an appellation within an appellation (Riversaltes) the estate can trace its history back to 1816, and for all but the last few years was famous for its unique fortified wines. Recently though, under Olivier Decelle’s ownership, Amiel has started to make some of the best table wines in the south using the plethora of ancient vine stock to hand. The range is extensive with Grenache Blanc and Gris, Muscat, Grenache Noir, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Carignan among the grapes used. Some of the resulting wines are very classic; others quirky and unusual. All are fabulous.

Having run Château de Tracy in Pouilly sur Loire for many years, Pierre decided to go back to his family roots. The style is rich and almost Burgundian but with fabulous acidity due to the altitude. Large 600 litre barrels are used so there is no overt oakiness either. They perennially receive accolades from the French wine press. White FRL15006B Limoux Chardonnay 2006 116.50 90.00

Clos Marie, Pic Saint Loup Christophe Peyrus started making wine in 1995 and in that time has progressed from organic to biodynamic methods. In just 14 years the domaine has become one of the leaders in the region and indeed further afield, featuring on top restaurant wine lists. They are big, concentrated wines that punch well above their weight for the appellation. The reds are blends of Grenache and Syrah, with the Metairie having some old vine Carignan too. We are very excited about this grower and its wines should not be missed.

Surprisingly close to the Mediterranean, it is located in the subregion of La Clape: a chalk packed grand cru of the south. The whites are an pithy blend of regional grapes with lots of minerality, floral notes and a little honey. The red Falaise is astounding value for money: an ageworthy, fruit filled Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre blend.

Their collaboration started in 2002, and fitting for the southern Rhône link the main variety in the wines is Grenache but judicious additions of Syrah, Cinsault and old vine Carignan gives extra complexity; though the K is virtually all Carignan and one of the best versions we have tasted. They have received more accolades and awards than any other domaine in the Languedoc, including Wine of the Year with one of their 2005s. Red FRL22008S Vin de Table K8 2008 73.50 48.50 Château Pech Quisou, Minervois Château Mignan and Château Pech Quisou are both owned by Christian Mignard. Christian also looks after Château Vaugelas, one of the leading Corbières domaines. Château Pech Quisou is located near La Livinière at the heart of the Minervois appellation and, after recent renovation, is beginning to produce high quality wines. Red FRL28006S Minervois 2006 62.00 37.00 Maison de Pourthié, Béziers Maison de Pourthié is a 50 hectare family run estate situated a few kilometres away from Cap d’Agde. As part of the Delta Domaines group, it is one of the most consistent sources of excellent value wines from the south of France for some years. This bright and aromatic Roussanne Sauvignon blend, now under a freshness-preserving screwcap, represents an ideal all purpose white. White FRL11008S Vin de Pays d’Oc Roussanne Sauvignon 2008 51.00 26.50 Domaine du Puech-Noble, Coteaux du Languedoc Domaine du Puech-Noble is the southern property of René Rostaing, the great Côte Rôtie producer (page 19). The Domaine is situated nine miles outside of Nîmes on the way to Montpellier. Here René uses his vast experience and the same uncompromising techniques from his Rhône property to produce wines of great class and elegance. The reds are Syrah-based blends that have the power and structure of the region, but with added finesse and depth. The white is a full-bodied Grenache Blanc blend with impressive creamy citrus and mineral notes. Red FRL21006B Coteaux du Languedoc Les Combes 2006 82.50 57.00 Domaine Saint Antonin, Faugères Frédéric Albaret has slowly gained the reputation as one of the best producers in Faugères. The Cuvée Magnoux is now recognised as one of the leading cuvées from the appellation and even the straight Faugères is among the best around. His 2005was selected by the Revue du Vin de France as one of the best ten wines of the vintage for the entire Languedoc Roussillon region. And to help further his cause, the prices are still very sensible. Red FRL10106B Faugères Cuvée Magnoux 2006 109.00 83.00

Terres du Sud, Vin de Pays d’Oc These are our own label house wines, lovingly developed to strike that challenging balance between quality and value. We work with a modern winery near Béziers to produce clean, fresh and appealing wines that are made from superior grapes.

Modern and New World influenced they are very much where the modern palate is at. Surely something the rest of Southern France, as it distils its unwanted wines at a loss, should look to emulate.

Using varying combinations of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, all cultivated using biodynamic techniques, Jean François Izarn knows how to express the differences between his terroirs. The Terres Blanches has a chalkiness owing to its limestone base, while the Schistes, not surprisingly, is based on schists, and has an added minerally graphite element. A reoccurring theme of freshness runs through all the wines.

Bordeaux Vignobles Garcin The owners of no less than four Châteaux – Clos L’Eglise (Pomerol), Barde-Haut (Saint Emilion), Branon (Pessac-Léognan) & Haut Bergey (Pessac-Léognan) – mother and daughter Sylviane Cathiard and Hélène Garcin have catapulted themselves into the Bordeaux big league. In conjunction with Hélène’s husband Patrice Levêque, Team Garcin has transformed the properties by investing heavily in vineyard management and the cellars themselves. Their efforts have most definitely born fruit with critical acclaim and high scoring accolades aplenty. Clos L’Eglise is a concentrated and silky Pomerol with a string of stellar performances since 1997. Château Barde-Haut shows the juicy, warm and approachable style of modern Saint Emilion that is now so much in demand. Château Haut Bergey has the benchmark gravelly notes of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, with added suppleness and charm. Château Branon has a very small production (on average 750 cases per annum), and more often than not sells out En Primeur. It is a bigger, more concentrated and muscular version of the Haut Bergey. The second wines, Etoile de Bergey and Esprit de l’Eglise, offer a more immediate reflection of the Grand Vins and are exceptional value for money.

Alsace André Kientzler, Ribeauvillé The Kientzler family has been making wine from their ten hectare estate, a third of which are classified Grand Cru, for five generations, with Riesling and Gewürztraminer the main varieties planted. Thanks to André’s skill and dedication, his wines rank among the very best in Alsace. The Riesling has great class and finesse, while his Grand Cru Geisberg is very much finer. They are superb Rieslings that will cellar well for ten to fifteen years.

Spain Alvear, Montilla-Moriles From the Adelucian south of Spain, Montilla’s fortified wines have some similarities with Sherry, but they are far less well known, though it’s worth noting that ‘Amontillado’ means ‘after the style of Montilla’. One of the differences is that Pedro Ximenez is the grape of choice for both dry and sweet cuvées with not a splash of Palomino to be seen. Family owned, Alvear produces a wide range of styles. The Fino En Rama is zesty and pithy; the Carlos VII is a classic Amontillado with strong nutty notes and extra length. The Oloroso is richer and sweeter with great complexity and is suited to desserts and cheeses. The Solera was started in 1927 and is still being maintained while the Añada is made with sun dried grapes from exceptional vintages. All in all these are beautifully made and distinctive wines that deserve a wider audience.

Palacio Quemado, Estramadura This winery is Alvear’s table wine outpost in the south west corner of Spain. As with many of the country’s new wave ventures it follows all the modern industry trends: low production, rigorous grape selection, new technology and special care to vines without hampering tradition. The Señorio de Alange range of wines are fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness and varietal character. Red SPA09108S Señorio de Alange Tempranillo Ribera del Guadiana 2008 51.50 26.50

Mas Bertran, Cava We are very happy to add to our list this year a Cava from Mas Bertan. Based in Catalunya, in a village called Sant Martí Sarroca, the winery is 45km due west of the bright lights of Barcelona. However, this is no stack it up high sell it cheap sparkler, made from the traditional grapes of Xarello, Macabeo and Parellada, this is an interesting and complex wine with plenty of character. The vineyards used are in conversion to organic cultivation. Sparkling SPA02305S Cava Balma Brut Nature 2005 106.50 80.50 Ferrer Bobet, Priorat A relatively new project started in 2002 by two friends (Sergi Ferre-Selat and Raul Bobet) in Priorat, the 2005 listed below was the first vintage of theirs to be released. A blend of seriously old vine Carignan and Grenache with a little Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, it is starting to make waves already and is a fine example of what has become Spain’s most cultish denominacion. The bottling is done without fining or filtration. Red SPA17005S Ferrer Bobet Priorat 2005 196.00 167.50 Bodegas Monfil, Cariñena Carineña is an up and coming area, located just to the south of Zaragoza in Aragon. Though it shares its name with the Spanish synonm of Carignan, more than just this single variety is grown there. The Mateo’s vineyards are planted with Garnacha, Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Macebeo. They used to sell their fruit on but for the past four years they have been making their own wine. Modern and fruit driven they represent exceptional value and are a great illustration of New Wave Spain.

The factors in question are cooling high altitude and drought resilient old Monastrell (aka Mourvèdre) vines. Proprietor Paco Selva owns sixty-five hectares of ungrafted old vineyards in the northern, coolest sub-zone of the appellation called La Hoya de Santa Ana. The wines are rich and dark with flavours of dates and figs. The sweet Dulce is a perfect wine for really rich puddings or blue cheese.

Portal Del Montsant, Montsant While the wines of trendy neighbour Priorat have gained a cult following, Montsant seems to be quietly going about its business almost unnoticed. The catch is that the DO of Montsant envelopes the whole vineyard area of Priorat and has just as many amphitheatre-like vineyards with ancient vines. Indeed the brains behind Portal, including oenologist Ricard Rofes, have a sister project called Portal Del Priorat where they are doing the same thing there: resuscitating abandoned vineyards then vinify the stunning produce. These wines, including a flavour packed rosado, are simply amazing and arguably, pound for pound, the most exciting on the list. Rosé SPA15308S Brunus Rosé Montsant 2008 92.50 67.00 Red SPA15106S Brunus Montsant 2006/7 112.50 86.00 SPA15006S Santbru Montsant 2006 159.00 131.50 Valtuille, Bierzo Bierzo’s grape of choice is Mencia, and no that is not another regional name for Tempranillo! Probably its nearest comparison, if you had to make one, is to Cabernet Franc and there are some similarities in the smoky hardwood aromas. However, the wines from Valtuille are riper and more generous than those of the Loire. Just to the east of the province of Galicia Bierzo is influenced by Atlantic weather systems not the Mediterranean – this can definitely be tasted in the northern European feel to the wine. The sprightly Joven is one of the best value wines on our list. Red SPA14306B El Castro de Valtuille Joven Bierzo 2006 69.00 43.50 SPA14006B El Castro de Valtuille Bierzo 2006 97.00 71.00

Italy De Stefani, Venezia The De Stefani family has been making wines in the Veneto for four generations. Their estate is located 50km from the Alpine foothills and 20km from the sea; a location that provides an ideal microclimate for very aromatic, fresh wines. The Pinot Grigios are all of superior quality showing plenty of fruitiness with hints of almonds, apple and a fresh, zesty, dry finish. The Prosecco comes from the hills north of Treviso and is an informal sparkling alternative to Champagne.

This small property is increasingly in the limelight, producing trademark Chianti Classico from their high altitude vineyards in Panzano.

A lot of work has also gone into the vineyards and as a result the estate regularly receives ‘Tre Bicchiere’ in the Gambero Rosso guide, a tremendous accolade.

Pairing indigenous varieties with modern winemaking the wines are very appealing but with some serious complexity too; the 2006 Montepulciano was awarded Tre Bicchieri in the Gambero Rosso 2009. The whites are just as interesting: the 100% Trebbiano is as spicy and floral as we have come across with this variety, while the Chimera takes some of this Trebbiano and blends it with Falanghina – one of the most intriguing combinations on our whole list.

Weingut Geyerhof owners, Josef and Ilse Maier farm their land organically and use varied picking times and lees aging to create a portfolio with a range of characteristics: the Rosensteig is the lightest and most herbaceous; Hoher Rain is fruitier and riper; while the Steinleithn is the firmest and most ageworthy.

Matetic Vineyards, San Antonio Chile has a strong case to be called the new Australia: a producer of modern fruit filled wines that deliver time after time at entry level and rarely disappoint. Matetic Vineyards need not apply for this definition, because they are head shoulders above the cheap and cheerful brigade and can easily be considered in the top handful of growers in the country. The all mod cons estate located in the San Antonio Valley and within spitting distance of the Pacific coast, is cultivated biodynamically (NB the EQ in the name stands for equilibrium and eludes to the holistic balance struck in the vineyards). It is the maritime influence that maintains the freshness and life in these wines. The Sauvignon is zippy and limey, the Gewürtz spicy, and the Syrah is very much North Rhône in style with herbs and spices aplenty.

New Zealand Mt Beautiful, North Canterbury The new addition to our Kiwi range is new in more ways than one: it is a first in the UK for the North Canterbury region of the Cheviot Hills – located on the eastern side of the South Island between Marlborough and Waipara. Set up by David Teece and family this is not just a back garden project. They have set it up to produce world beating wine and put a new region on the map. The Sauvignon is very fresh and zesty, the Riesling is dry and feminine, while the Pinot is great value for money. We’re very excited to be working with such a new and dynamic grower.

What you get is a combination of the country’s very best winemaking skill plus knowledge of where the best grapes and vineyards are. It is this second element that gives her eponymous label an added edge – she is not married to sourcing all her wines from one site and so is able to vary region depending on the variety. In this case the Sauvignon and Chardonnay come from Marlborough and the two Pinots from Otago. The results are spectacular – sensuous, hedonistic and really complete.

Australia Dutschke, Barossa Valley Wayne Dutschke’s vineyards have been in the family for three generations. His grandfather Oscar Semmler started planting in the Barossa Valley back in the 1930s, and for much of this time the grapes were used for making sweet styles of wine, or simply sold on. More recently Wayne decided to grub up some of the inherited vines and replant with Shiraz and other quality varieties. However, Wayne still keeps up the family tradition and makes fortified wines too. They represent some of the very best sweet wines in the world regularly scoring huge points from international critics. If you love this style of wine then they are not to be missed.
