Quinta do Noval,
Ready, but will keep,
A dense, deep-purple colour presages a nose of violets, followed by blue and black fruits, harmoniously entwined. Behind that we find eucalypt and hints of undergrowth. The palate is reassuringly complex, with impressive grip buttressing the softly seductive fruit. All in all, this is very complete, spicy and rich. In other words, completely delicious.

Trediberri, Piedmont,
Ready, but will keep,
Ninety percent of the fruit is from the Berri vineyards, where the vines are young, planted in 2007 on alluvial river soil which produces juicy and upfront styles. With ripe and fragrant strawberry fruit aromas, there is a touch of rose. The wine is pure and juicy, with a wonderful lightness of touch, very fine tannins and concentration. Drink now to 2025.

Il Poggione,
Ready, but will improve,
Il Poggione is one of the stars of Brunello di Montalcino, perfectly combining lovely modern-style fruit with freshness and verve. Lovely and fleshy on the nose with that quintessential, tell-tale Sangiovese meatiness, underpinned with notes of redcurrants.
Supple and fleshy on the palate too, spicy red and black fruit notes, mouth-watering acidity and fine, well-integrated tannins. Very good and tempting to drink now, but it will repay a few years in the cellar with more harmony and roundness. Drink 2018-2023.

Domaine Montirius,
Ready, but will keep,
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.
Drink 2017-2020.

Il Poggione,
For laying down,
Bright and ripe classic Sangiovese notes on the nose of red and black fruit vying for attention, with a certain meaty nuance in the background. Lots of fine red fruit on the palate, tempered by crisp acidity and fine, ripe tannins, all in balance with a pleasing mouth-feel and satisfyingly complete finish. This is hard to resist now, but will become even more harmonious if cellared for another four to six years.

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.

Domaine des Escaravailles,
Ready, but will keep,
L’Heritage is 100% Grenache cuvée, its vines dating back to 1924. Matured and aged in cement only, this is an outstanding celebration of the varietal and stands up very well next to other well-known all-Grenache wines in the region, its logic-defying combination of weight and evanescence a source of indescribable pleasure.
Simon Field MW, Rhône Wine Buyer
Located high in the hills behind the villages of Roaix and Rasteau, Escaravailles dates from 1953 and is now in the more than capable hands of Gilles Ferran, who has constructed a new cuverie and built the reputation of the domaine into one of the leading names in the region. Escaravaille, for those of an inquisitive disposition, is the Occitane word for beetle (hence the labels) and also the term once used to describe the black-robed monks of the region, presumably from the Benedictine order. Gilles farms 40 hectares in Rasteau and 15 in Cairanne and his wines are justly celebrated as leading examples in both villages.

Trimbach,
Ready, but will improve,
Remarkable value can be found in Trimbach's Vielles Vignes bottling, this is textbook dry Riesling. The nose offers intense citric fruit with hints of riper white stone fruit, very clean and fresh. Impressively textured on the palate, there is more flesh and concentration and flesh on show here than I expected. Lime fruit and mineral hints, beautifully balanced with saline notes. Deliciously dry on the finish, inviting you in for more.
Famously controversial for opting out of the Grand Cru classification back in 1975 on account of the overly generous yields & low sugar levels (low quality) required, in the past five years the negociant has added 15 hectares of prime Grand Cru sites, notably in Osterberg, Geisberg, & Schlossberg, bringing their total to 45ha. So the family are clearly not closing the door on the possibility of releasing single Grand Cru vineyard wines, albeit in tiny quantities. However they lament the fact that France’s supermarkets continue to buy up 75% of the region’s production, selling Grand Cru wines at around €7/bottle on the shelf.
Meanwhile their brands of (Riesling) Cuvee Frederic Emile, (Pinot Gris) Reserve Personnelle & (Gewurztraminer) Cuvee des Seigneurs de Ribeaupierre remain central to the range, made from both own fruit & bought in fruit; they remain a clear step up in terroir finesse from the fruitier ‘Reserve’ lines. Clos Ste. Hune is estate’s finest Riesling, from a 1.67ha ‘clos’ within Grand Cru Rosacker; the provenance readily communicated but still absent from the label. So as winemaker Pierre Trimbach signs off his 34th vintage in charge, this is still very much an estate to watch.
These wines are considered the benchmark for quality, consistency and style.

Cloudy Bay,
Ready, but will keep,
It can only be one wine - Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc! As ever, this is a clear notch above everything else on the N.Z. Sauvignon shelves, firm Kaffir Lime with all the usual grapefruit dominating the nose and palate. Cloudy Bay always has that extra layer, this year it has to be the ever so soft peach and nectarine lingering at the back of the palate. Very simply – what’s not to like?

Chateau Miraval,
Ready, but will keep,
I am somewhat biased as I was fortunate to taste this at Maison Francois Perrin whilst looking out over the Provençale landscape. Pale salmon in colour, the nose is wonderfully fresh with aromas of wild strawberry and hints of fennel and orange peel. Crisp and dry across the palate with gentle flavours of red currants, strawberry, and a touch of savouriness comes through at the back with flicks of spice. Detailed and precise with a moreish finish; the Perrin's have excelled again here with a delicious rose wine truly representative of the regions finest. Drink and enjoy without thinking, ideally this summer once available.
Chris Lamb - Private Account Manager
I described the 2015 release as ‘dangerously drinkable and probably the perfect Provence rose’ and this continues a theme! Very pale, with wild strawberry and fennel on the nose. Excellent freshness on the palate, with a seam of red fruit and saline tang on the finish. As effortlessly enjoyable as always and sure to become a staple of picnics, BBQs and sunny summer evenings.

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.

Ch du Moulin Neuf,
Ready, but will keep,
This is a fruit-driven, accessible Médoc from the clement 2015 vintage. The lion’s share of the blend is Merlot which makes it perfectly approachable in its youth, the palate is generous with blackcurrant fruit and the tannins are fine and polished thanks to its six months spent in oak barrels. It won a silver medal in the Decanter World Wine Awards (2017). This modern Médoc is crying out for red meat, whether it is roast beef, steak and ale pie or anything off the grill, it should prove to be the perfect dining partner.

Benjamin Leroux,
Ready, but will improve,
As ever, this is a Bourgogne which punches significantly above its weight. A good dollop of Savigny, Santenay, Beaune, Monthélie and St Romain make their way into the blend, not as off-cuts, but because Ben sees this as his vinous business card. Raised in large foudres, this is as gorgeous as ever, with an incredible purity of juicy, red berry fruit. The quintessence of Burgundian Pinot Noir. Drink 2018-2024.
Adam Bruntlett, Burgundy Buyer
Having created a name for himself as régisseur (general manager) of Comte Armand in Pommard from 1999 until 2013, Benjamin Leroux established a small négociant business based in Beaune in 2007. The emphasis is on Côte de Beaune whites and Côte de Nuits reds. The company also owns a small holding of Bâtard-Montrachet and since 2014 some vineyards in Meursault. In a short space of time Benjamin Leroux’s wines have built an impressive reputation. Ben is a big fan of his 2016s, praising the sizzling tension of the whites and the beautiful quality of the Pinot fruit, which allowed him to use more whole bunches than in 2015. In early stages of élevage he drew comparisons to 2010, and feels these are wines which will surprise people and gain complexity with time. Thanks to his strong relationships with suppliers, Ben was able to maintain production at around 2015 levels despite the frost, although in general he has less Village and Grand Cru wine and more at the Premier Cru level. For reasons of space, the limited volumes of Grands Crus have not been included in this catalogue. Since the 2014 vintage, all white wines are bottled under screwcap.

Weingut Heymann-Lowenstein,
Drink now,
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+

Chateau Clinet,
Ready, but will keep,
Following the success of their wonderfully easy-drinking 100 percent Merlot cuvée, Ch. Clinet has now released its rather more discerning sibling – Pur’ Cab. As the name suggests this is made from a blend of the two Cabernets (Sauvignon and Franc), all sourced from the Right Bank, near Clinet’s home in Pomerol. The resulting wine is rich and dark with generous blackcurrant fruit, abundant fine tannins and a classic pencil lead and herbal finish. An homage to Clinet’s presence in the Right Bank, this should please most Cabernet fans looking for an everyday option. If drunk young, it may benefit from a short decant and it should suit most classic beef or lamb dishes.

Hugel et Fils,
Ready, but will keep,
A new release in 2015, this superb dry Riesling is produced from Schoelhammer, a tiny historic vineyard of the Hugel family, ideally located in the heart of Schoeneberg. A renowned source of fine, ageworthy Rieslings, the 2007 Schoelhammer is no exception, an expression of the marl-rich terroir, complex and suave in style, released after ageing in famille Hugel's cellars. Starting to reveal its personality now, but with great potential for the long term.
A very classical style of Riesling which is coming into its own and I suspect, given time and patience, will give even more. Fresh and lively with clean citrus notes of verbena and gooseberry that bounce around on the palate. Perfectly balanced and leaves the palate feeling refreshed. One of the most amazingly long finishes that just goes on and on. Drink now or leave it for another ten years or so.
Ben Upjohn, Fine Wine Sales Manager
With the customer in mind, Hugel have redesigned their range to reflect the different levels of quality in very simple and International terms.
Hugel first and foremost is an advocate of the dry style of Alsace wine. Hugel wines are tight, structured, mineral and dry – unless they’re sweet.
The “Grossi Laüe" range is made from their top Grand Crus vineyards (Riesling from the Schoenenbourg and Gewurztraminer from the Sporen).
Finally, the crème de la crème “Schoelhammer” which is on par with the great Trimbach Clos St Hune. The tiny production of this single vineyard called “Schoelhammer” is proudly sitting at the top of the their range, made from only 30 rows of vines and with a mere 4,288 bottle production.
