Leroux’s Bourgogne Rouge has long been one of the benchmarks for how good regional Burgundy can be, and the 2023 release is no exception. This year’s blend pulls fruit from some excellent sites – Maison Dieu in Pommard, Mon Poulain in Volnay, and Les Belles Côtes in Meursault – with...

For this cuvée, Ben uses some of his own fruit from Meursault along with grape purchases from the Côte d’Or (including Vosne-Romanée) and the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune. Given the warmth of the year, the Hautes-Côtes fruit brings some freshness to the blend. Some of the wine was aged in Wineglobe...

This wine is made with Sangiovese grapes highlighting the balanced and harmonious traits of its habitat. The wine shows a sleek medium body, seamless tannins and a distinctive tasting profile. Great for the ‘now’ it reveals an impressive ageing potential.​

With a beautiful golden colour and a clean, open nose, “Bourgogne Chardonnay” has an astonishingly wide range of aromas. The Chardonnay produces a firm, full wine, elegant, supple and mellow, full-bodied, rich and lingers long on the palate.

A rare white from a domaine known for its benchmark Nuits-Saint-Georges reds, this Chardonnay expresses the elegance and restraint of the Côte de Nuits terroir. The bouquet is delicate yet refined, with notes of white peach, crisp green apple, and lemon blossom, underpinned by hints of toasted almond and subtle...

On the top of the hill above and behind the domaine – vines sit on the limestone – a thin soil but with plenty of clay. This was blended into the Bourgogne before 2017 – a cuvée that used to be reserved for the French market. Fully destemmed. Bottled in...

Château de Nalys is one of Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s oldest and most storied estates, with vineyard records dating back to the 16th century.

Our 2025 Chenin Blanc, crafted from old vines planted in the 1940s, showcases vibrant, bright flavors. The delta-like climate, with rich clay loam soils and cool Delta Breezes from San Francisco Bay, fosters a long growing season, enhancing fruit development, vine health, and nutrient retention.

Sourced from vines planted from 1935 to 1995 from the lieux dits - Les Seuvrées (below Charmes Chambertin), La Justice (well-draining sand above solid limestone), Billard, Le Fourneau. About 10% whole-cluster, 15 days maceration in tank, indigenous yeast fermentation. Aged for 18 months in barrel (20% new), unfined, unfiltered.

Quintessentially old vine Zinfandel aromas of ripe, sweet fruits alongside savory Rhone-like herbs seasoned with a hint of citrus peel. Refined and elegant...

From a field blend of estate centenary vineyards planted between 1908 and 1948 to mostly Tempranillo, with some Garnacha and Albillo Mayor, the 2023 spent 14 months in new French oak after fermenting in barrel. Medium-bodied, the limestone soils give it acidity and tension, a concentrated framework around which smoky...
