Weingut Eymann,
Ready, but will keep,
This is Eymann’s entry-level Riesling, sourced from vineyards around the village of Gönnheim, all of which are farmed biodynamically and organically. Four to six months on its lees gives the wine amazing weight and texture – both of which are rarely found in dry Rieslings at this price-point. Lemon verbena, red apple and citrus aromas entice, while the wine’s generous texture is accompanied by vibrant acidity and a long, persistent finish.

Maison Chapoutier,
Ready, but will keep,
A long term Berry Bros. & Rudd favourite, Les Meysonniers in 2012 is a pure and persuasive statement of Syrah, with crunchy fruit -basket flavours to the fore and a gentle kick of black pepper and spice at the back of the palate.
Simon Field MW, Rhône Wine Buyer
Our brief encounter with Michel Chapoutier this year took on an element of farce, French farce you might say, although it took place in the Hermitage vineyards rather than in a well-upholstered Parisian salon. Michel was inspecting the vines with an appropriately deferential team of winemakers and we were hoping to interview and photograph him. The closer we got, the further away he seemed to be. This chimerical liaison reflects both the surprisingly undulating topography of Hermitage and the unsurprisingly elusive nature of the man himself. Of course when we finally caught up with him, he was charm itself. As are his outstanding range of 2012s.

Chateau Giscours,
Drink now,
A fraction paler than last year and lighter than one might expect of Bordeaux Rosé but this is very much fruit forward with spicy raspberry and strawberry flooding the palate. Generous in every sense. Good acidity and so there’s plenty of freshness with some spice at the back of the palate. Vibrant and easy to enjoy. As ever I’m unshakeable in my belief that a wonderful Spring and Summer awaits, this 2016 will go down very well indeed.

Scopetone, Tuscany,
Ready, but will keep,
This wine really makes one smile. The quality of the fruit is incredible; crunchy red berries, with scented minerality, are immediately accessible. It is both fresh and light (it dances across the palate with poise) but there is a deceptive concentration, with plenty of matter on the core and finish.
Drink 2016-2021.

‘Laubach’ captures the character of the region’s grey slate, rich in fossilized marine deposits & hence limestone. Tasting the 2009 reminded me of Chardonnay’s musky white flower aromas, as found in Burgundy. And yes I sensed I could perceive the fossilized shellfish deep within its stony core…drinking till 2019+

Il Poggione,
Ready, but will improve,
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.

Ch. les Cruzelles,
Ready, but will improve,
Delicious wine from proprietor Denis Durantou, who is better known as the magician behind the great Pomerols of L-Eglise Clinet. This relatively nearby vineyard in Lalande has turned out a nice, ripe, rich, medium-bodied, opulent style of wine with lovely mulberry and black cherry fruit, as well as hints of new saddle leather and spice. It is medium-bodied, easygoing and doesn-t have the substance or power to last more than 4 or 5 years, but so what? Drink it up.

Domaine de Marcoux,
Drink now,
Sophie and Catherine were, unsurprisingly, amongst the first of a growing band of brothers (and sisters) to plant over the river in the slightly undervalued appellation of Lirac. Minute geological differences have a big effect on Grenache especially, which can result in wines, such as this, that are richly robust, wonderfully dark of fruit, yet approachable by way of temperament. Well worth the detour. Drink 2018-2023.
Simon Field MW - Wine Buyer
The forebears of sisters Sophie and Catherine Armenier have been making superb wines since 1344 it seems, maybe modifying their techniques a little along the way, but not too much. Biodynamic in all but the letter, they are based close to Beaucastel, but their plots, albeit more modest in total surface area, are more widely spaced over the appellation, with the most significant holdings in the areas around Courthézon and on the central Crau plateau. Low yields are key to the exceptional quality of the wines.

Weingut Heymann-Lowenstein,
Ready, but will improve,
Situated in Rittersturz on blue, yellow-brown to blue-black slate on southeast-south facing slopes, with an average vine age of 55 years. 2.9ha. The minerals err more towards flint and smoke in this wine. The palate is strong, toned and deeply concentrated, supported by fruit that is reminiscent of yellow peach and orange zest. This is a serious wine and needs time.

Domaine Michel Lafarge,
Ready, but will improve,
Fifty-fifty Pinot and Gamay, this comes from vines planted in 1928. Vibrant purple with a heavenly bouquet, it’s hard to tell which grape dominates on the nose. Then Pinot starts at the front of the palate with a touch of Gamay vivacity behind. Drink 2019-2024.
Jasper Morris MW, Wine Buyer
With prices in Burgundy still rising, even if often for understandable reasons, the appellations Bourgogne Blanc and Bourgogne Rouge are great places to look for affordable wines. You get the opportunity to drink wine from a top winemaker, from vines which are adjacent to the famous villages, and which will be accessible earlier. The 2005 Bourgognes Rouges are still delicious and youthful more than 10 years later, but most wines have been drinking well for a few years now.

Domaine de Marcoux,
Ready, but will keep,
The warmer calcareous soils on the Right Bank
underwrite Lirac’s gregarious personality. The
Marcoux vines here are sheltered by the garrigue
and are older than the average, and as a result their
wine has more depth and complexity and less fleshy
opulence. The 2016 is initially a touch reticent, then
the garland of black fruit flavours envelops the palate,
with a subtle spicy backdrop and finely integrated
tannic support. Drink 2019-2021.

Weingut Eymann,
Ready, but will keep,
While it's rarely acknowledged, Germany is the third largest producer of Pinot Noir (aka Spätburgunder) in the world. This is a wonderful example of an accessible, refreshing Pinot that offers an interesting alternative to Burgundy. Bright, medium red intensity colour with red cherry, redcurrant and raspberry fruit aromas. Herbal top notes with a savoury spice character that continues through to the palate. Chalky tannins with refreshing and lively acidity. Moderately light bodied with a juiciness that provides additional weight.

David Moreau,
Ready, but will improve,
These are David’s oldest vines, with two parcels planted in 1943 and 1947, on argile rouge and marne respectively. The slightly younger plot is Premier Cru and makes up 45 percent of the blend. The wine has a fresh and composed bouquet with a note of Morello cherry but, typically, there is a good line of firm but elevating tannin on the palate. Drink 2019-2023.
Adam Bruntlett, Burgundy Buyer
David Moreau took over part of his octogenerian grandfather’s domaine in Santenay in 2009. Prior to that, he worked with Olivier Lamy, Domaine de la RomanéeConti, and at Neudorf in New Zealand. David now has seven hectares in production and has made significant changes in both viticulture and vinification. The vineyards were almost all planted in the 1960s, so David has old vines to work with. He will soon become president of the local vine-growers syndicat a measure of the regard in which he is held. Once again, David is very happy with this year’s results. There was very little frost damage this far south and all his wines performed well in our barrel tastings. There is a confidence in David’s winemaking that raises expectations for some outperforming wines from this lesser-known part of Burgundy. The purity and transparency of 2016 suits his range very well.

Domaine Eleni et Edouard Vocoret,
Ready, but will keep,
Picked on 29th September, well before the bad weather arrived. The wine shows the fleshy nature of the best 2013s, along with attractive floral notes, refreshing acidity tucked in behind the fruit and a fine, balanced finish. Drink 2015-2018
Jasper Morris MW, Burgundy Wine Director
Edouard Vocoret is the scion of one of Chablis’ well known families. He met Eleni (née Theodoropoulos ) when they were both working in New Zealand, since when he has apprenticed with the excellent Daniel Barraud (Pouilly Fuissé) while Eleni has been working with Vincent Dauvissat who has given them a great deal of help in setting up their own small domaine in Chablis. We have nicknamed this promising pair the Vocoropouloi.
There are just two wines from the debut vintage, 2013, which has been hand harvested and matured in wood, using older barrels. They have nearly five hectares of Chablis, in three plots, the largest being Le Bas de Chapelot, just below Montée de Tonnerre. This is the only one currently being bottled. There is also a small holding of 1er cru Les Butteaux.

Château Goubau,
Ready, but will keep,
Delicious, mineral freshness on the nose which gives way to aromas of autumn fruits, good oak flavours and spice. On the palate lots of ripe fruit – red fruits and brambles with a good tannic structure , attractive, intense and persistent. Best served at about 18 -19oC - decant an hour before serving. Lovely with red meats and winter stews.

Cloudy Bay,
Ready, but will keep,
The nose is layered with citrus, white peach and blood orange, with just a suggestion of toasty oak in the background. It has a medium body, direct and linear mouth-feel, with a core of freshening acidity that keeps everything in perfect harmony. With attractive richness and plenty of finesse, this is a lovely, crowd-pleasing Chardonnay.

The Terre des Aînés is from the Saurel’s oldest most gnarled vines (80 years old) and is made from 80 percent Grenache and 20 percent Mourvèdre. To the powerful spice and black fruit notes must be added the appeal of very pure and focused tannins and a wonderfully refreshing finish.

As the name suggests, ‘Blaufusser Lay’ is a single vineyard wine underpinned by (aristocratic?) blue slate, giving a cooler, smokier, linear expression of Riesling, backed by some seriously taut & pure minerality. A wine that knows where it’s going; a wine that will improve with time. Drinking till 2019+

The aromatics are scented, with layers of white peach, herbs and slate-inflected minerals. The palate is dry and bright with a slightest hint of residual sugar to balance the racy acidity. There is a richness to the fruit on the palate that is characteristic of the 2015 vintage. Long and refreshing, this wine will drink well now, but also reward ageing over the next 3-5 years.

Alvaro Palacios,
Ready, but will improve,
Always eagerly anticipated; Finca Dofi is intense, generous and velvety, yet it remains a very fairly priced offering from Álvaro Palacios. The 2013 effort has wonderful floral notes, framed by fine tannins and acidity. Vibrant and forward, thus extended ageing isn’t required but this will develop until 2025. A good introduction to fine Priorat.

Marco De Bartoli, Sicily,
Ready, but will keep,
Better known for rescuing the traditional expression of Marsala (do try our fabulous one-off Berry Bros. & Rudd’s Vergine Marsala), De Bartoli also make first-class dry wines. Grillo has a ubiquity in the west of the island, but correctly handled, as here, it is both distinctive and impressive.
A little oak gives a hazelnut nuance to the ripe lemon pith and oil aromas and the dry, subtle saltiness creates an assertive palate, whilst remaining light on its feet. This is one of those wines that first appear neutral, yet finish full of character. Drink now but will keep for up to at least 2019.
