Our best-selling wine for many decades, GOC, as it is known, brilliantly highlights the sheer drinkability of modern red Bordeaux. Bright, medium ruby in colour, with a siren-like nose of black cherries, bramble fruit and wood smoke, it is instantly appealing. The palate follows through with delicious black fruit and a long, velvety finish.
Max Lalondrelle, Wine Buyer

This rosé has been specially blended for Berry Bros. & Rudd by Château la Mascaronne, which is based in the beautiful rolling hills of the Côtes de Provence. Juicy red berry fruits of wild strawberries and redcurrants are combined with refreshing herbal notes of lemon verbena and hints of spice. The crispness of acidity and salinity on the palate brings vibrancy and tension.

Our 2017 Chablis comes from two separate vineyards in the village of Chichée, renowned for its classically steely character. The small but excellent 2017 vintage has given a wine with a harmonious balance between ripe orchard fruits and crisp, refreshing mineral notes. Fermented and raised completely in tank, this is a benchmark expression of Chablis, one which is equally at home as an aperitif or with seafood or a goats cheese salad.

Celebrated British artist Kate Boxer created her dashing dandy – a nod to our former customer Beau Brummell – for the latest in our limited-edition series of Good Ordinary Claret. Just 7,000 bottles have been produced.

Our best-selling wine for many decades, GOC, as it's known, brilliantly highlights the drinkability of modern red Bordeaux. Bright, medium ruby in colour it has a siren-like nose of black cherries, bramble fruit and wood smoke. The palate follows through with a long, velvety finish. Equally at home with a weekday supper or a grand Sunday roast, it is the perfect wine for all occasions.

A blend of Grenache and Cinsault, direct pressed and fermented at relatively low temperatures, this is an archetypal Provence Rosé, a category which is getting more and more popular and in which the spectrum of quality is ever-widening. Mascaronne is right at the top of the pile, quite literally, its stony, photogenic vineyards carved out of the rocks, its fruit cultivated organically and at low yields.

The 2016 vintage enjoyed a benevolent ripening season, even by Provençal standards, and this harmonious backdrop has been expertly captured by our friends at Mascaronne. Cinsault and Grenache are the majority shareholders here, and are perfectly complementary; the first floral and lifted, the second rounded and generous. The wine is a symphony of red fruit and soft spice, its gentle nacreous colour perfectly antithetical to the expressive and joyful fruit basket of the palate.

This wine hails from sleepy Roero, 15 miles from Barolo, with a softer climate and sandy soils. Sandrone’s Valmaggiore vineyard is serene and, in places, very steep; the wine is made naturally and gently. It is stylistically adjacent to Pinot Noir.
Crunchy & refreshing.

Il Poggione is one of the stars of Brunello, despite this it is always incredibly reasonably priced. Every year we sell through our allocation quickly and 2010 I think it is a case of blink and you will miss it! Il Poggione is a wine that reflects the more modern end of the styles in Brunello, it always has rich, lush fruit and in 2010 it is perfectly held in check by a cool freshness. Alongside the lovely cherry fruit, there are floral characters and toasted spice a wine with a sensual character.

Il Poggione have done it yet again with a wine of such great quality at such a great price point.  Yet another vintage that confirms this wines quality and status as one of the best in Montalcino.   The wine has a glossy appearance in the glass, almost opaque.  The 2013 has a more svelte quality than maybe the likes of the dark and powerful 2011 – this is a wine full of cherry, cranberry, red fruit on the nose with hints of thyme, coffee/mocha notes. Complex and enticing.  The palate is medium bodied, the acidity is crisp and cooling almost hiding the true depths of the fruit beneath.  Tannins beautifully integrated with a pepper , anise like length.  Very high quality. Resist the temptation to drink early, look at tucking in 2023 – 2030.

The nose is surprisingly opulent and weighty, verging on the exotic even. The palate is succulent, not overly full bodied by any means – there is an intrinsic sense of balance here. Going back to the glass this is remarkably drinkable such is the balance and poise. The volume and weight of fruit is remarkable – plump, overt and fabulously moreish! Ideally try to give this 2 or 3 years in the cellar, but if not a quick decant will sufice! Now to late 2020s.

Capturing the essence of Provençal charm, the epitome, perhaps, of Matisse’s “luxe, calme et volupté”; the Perrin family (of Château de Beaucastel fame) continues to provide the expertise and winemaking skills at Miraval – which delivers year in, year out. Their 2017 rosé is gloriously pale, dry and pure. Aromas of wild raspberries and redcurrants play against a herbal backdrop. Utterly refreshing, the wine’s graceful texture is balanced by red-cherry acidity, with notes of strawberry and fennel on the mid-palate. It’s perfect summer drinking (especially in large-format).

Possessing more overt fruit and body than the 2012, this Brunate, layers toasted nuts with cherry and savoury graphite and tar notes. Amazing grip and clean acidity underpin the dense, ripe fruit on the core of the wine. Contained power. Drink from 2025+.

Produced from vines aged around 90 years old and found in Meursault, this has a brilliantly refreshing tangy nose full of fresh lemons. It is really lively, classy and has the flavours commonly associated with serious white Burgundy.
Jasper Morris MW, Berrys' Burgundy Director Volumes at Domaine du Comte Armand were broadly similar to 2010 in 2011, but will be catastrophically low in 2012 as Pommard was one of the hardest hit villages with the poor weather. We must therefore take advantage of Benjamin Leroux’s brilliant range of wines made available this year, from the supposedly lowly Aligoté upwards. Look out for the potential of the fabulous Clos des Epeneaux, which Ben has harnessed to a quality level rarely seen before.
