Il Poggione,
Ready, but will keep,
Il Poggione is a winery steeped in history with its origins dating back to the late 1800s. Owned by Leopoldo and Livia Franceschi , it is situated below the beautiful hilltop town of Sant’Angelo in Colle, a part of the Brunello di Montalcino appellation characterised by a temperate, yet well-ventilated micro-climate. This benefits the grapes by maintaining refreshing acidity levels and extending their ripening time.
Father and son winemaking team Fabrizio and Alessandro Bindocci coax the best from these privileged vineyard sites; they are also proponents of a traditional wine-making style which includes submerging the cap with frequent pump overs (for more colour and tannin extraction), and ageing in large casks (so that wood flavours remain subtle and do not interfere with the natural expression of the Sangiovese and the Sant’Angelo terroir).
In the best vintages the wines demonstrate extraordinary development in bottle. Even better, prices have remained very reasonable, considering the superb quality of the wine. Poggione’s straight Brunello is one of the most fairly-priced, cellar worthy wines of the appellation. This is a benchmark property for fine, traditionally made Brunello capable of ageing superbly.

Isabel Estate,
Drink now,
Isabel Estate is located in the Wairau Valley within Marlborough (South Island). Founded in 1980, the estate is now owned by the Australian drinks company, Pinnacle, which has focused on investment in the vineyards and winery since it took over in 2014. Ex-Villa Maria winemaker, Jeremy McKenzie now looks after winemaking.
Elegant and fresh, this Chardonnay is full of lemon citrus fruit with subtle notes of white flowers. These delicate notes are complemented on the palate with a hazelnut twist, while notes of brioche and toast (from fermentation in old barrels) add further complexity. This is a delicious, sophisticated Marlborough Chardonnay. Drink now to 2023.

Il Poggione,
Ready, but will keep,
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 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.
Stuart Rae, Private Account Manager
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.

Il Poggione,
Ready, but will keep,
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.

Andre Romero,
Ready, but will keep,
No ‘Confiance’ was made in 2013, to the benefit of the Prestige, which has perfumed aromatics and a very fine texture. The hills behind the village have provided the fruit, which is ripe and dominated by notes of tapenade, spice and hints of black cherry. A conspicuous success in what was not generally a conspicuously successful vintage in Rasteau. Drink 2016 to 2019.
Simon Field MW - Rhône Buyer
The irrepressible André Roméro was lessthan- entirely complimentary about the 2013 vintage when we visited in November of that year. Twelve months later, his opinion has been moderated a little-more by empirical observation than by commercial imperative, one is inclined to infer. Be that as it may, the disequilibrium and dilution which he feared have not materialised; indeed quite the reverse in some instances, as the blends take on the more robust characteristics of varietals which are sometimes referred to-not without reason-as ‘cépages améliorateurs’.

For laying down,
The 2014 Beaumont has a straightforward blackberry and raspberry bouquet that feels a little subdued at the moment and needs a tad more harmony. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannin, solid and conservative yet with good density. It does not quite "flow" like the best vintages of this Haut-Médoc, but I suspect it will improve with another couple of years in bottle to soften its edges. Tasted September 2016.

Trediberri, Piedmont,
Ready, but will keep,
Nicola is one of a growing number of producers specifically making Langhe Nebbiolo to showcase the immense, aromatic charm of young Nebbiolo. For this, he works with a high-altitude vineyard in Levice in Alta Langa, as well as using some fruit from his Berri vineyard, and a portion from the sandy soils of Roero. The high altitude allows Nicola to harvest relatively late, while preserving the wine’s natural acidity. The wine is aged for six months in a mixture of concrete and stainless steel. The result is an intense, floral, vibrant wine with beautiful fruit sweetness and a refreshing, crunchy structure. Drink now to 2030.

Drink now,
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.

Domaine Stephane Ogier,
Ready, but will improve,
Perennial Berry Bros. & Rudd favourite, for staff and customers alike, La Rosine is sourced from vines just to the south of the appellation, including some on the plateau above. Decomposed granite, high planting densities and careful winery treatment, where pumping over is eschewed in favour of a more gentle cap management: all these factors contribute to the silky, charming ensemble presented in the glass; its ripe and generous fruit held in check by an authoritative, gently spicy finish. Drink now to 2021.

Louis Boillot,
Ready, but will improve,
Louis Boillot's maiden Beaujolais vintage from 4 ha of his own vineyards in Moulin-à-Vent. 50- to 60-year-old vines yielded 39 hl/ha in 2014. Extraction over three weeks in cuve. Maturation was 50% cuve, 50% barrel, of which 20% new, 80% three years old.
Lightish crimson. Lightly smoky and mineral with a hint of oak entwined with the peppery dark-red fruit. Lithe, juicy and delicious but not at all simple. Has both purity of fruit and an expression of origin. A little savoury note on the long finish.
When to drink: 2016 - 2024

A distinctly up-market Vin de Pays, picked relatively early in September in order to avoid over-ripeness, Rosine’s white manifestation is manifestly excellent.

Allegrini,
Ready, but will keep,
In my view a perfect ‘house quaffer’ for those midweek pizza & pasta suppers. A blend of Valpolicella varieties along with 30% of the fruit air dried and added to rest of the juice to add more body and weight.
The “Palazzo della Torre” is the historic combination of Corvina and Rondinella with the addition of a small quantity of Sangiovese. A small percentage of the harvested grapes are left to dry out until December, then added to the previously vinified fresh grapes to produce one of the most quaffable Italian wines I have had in a long time. The nose is ripe and juicy, full of cherry fruit with a hint of dried berry / espresso bean edge. The palate is fluid, medium bodied with a juicy, mouthwatering finish. Delicious. 2016 – 2018.

Benjamin Leroux,
Ready, but will improve,
This is a blend of fruit from Meursault, PulignyMontrachet, Vosne-Romanée and the Hautes Côtes. Ben makes this wine in large foudres, the aim being to preserve freshness and give a gentle oak character without dominating the delicate fruit. Crisp and refreshing, this is benchmark Bourgogne Blanc.
It is fair to say that Ben is very happy with 2017, describing it as the kind of vintage he would sign up for every year. The whites, he says, are beautiful, and not far from 2014 in style, with purity, finesse, great definition and balance. He describes the reds as pretty, appealing and with body to support ageing, while highlighting the importance of lower-yielding old vines for serious ageing. He eloquently explains that there is no “black sheep” in 2017, that no village has underperformed. For reason of space, the limited volumes of Grands Crus have not been included in this brochure. Since the 2014 vintage, all white wines are bottled under screwcap.

Chateau Miraval,
Ready, but will keep,
Miraval has become the go-to rosé for many and I don’t see that changing with the great 2018 vintage. Very pale in colour, this is fresh, vibrant but perfectly polite, with notes of peach, delicate wild strawberry and a floral lift too. The finish is long and balanced, with a touch of texture meaning that it works perfectly with food, yet doesn’t dominate the palate without. I know what I’ll be drinking this spring and summer…

Platinum medal winner at the 2016 Decanter World Wine Awards
These 60+-year-old Mencia vines around the village of Corullon are farmed biodynamically, and you can almost sense earthy, savouriness on the nose, full of generous plum and mulberry fruit. The palate has a lovely textural mouthcoating quality, hints of roasted meat and mocha. Great juice balanced off with crisp acidity, spice and pepper. Drink now and over the next five years.

Olivier Merlin,
Ready, but will improve,
The limestone plateau above the Merlin’s house is a prime site, slow to ripen but delivering a wine of spectacular concentration and ageing potential. The 2012 has an amazingly dense nose with a little well judged wood, 20% new for the first year in barrel. There’s a glorious weight of fruit to this, some lemon acidity, though the detail is hiding a bit in its youth. Not just a Mâcon wine but one of Burgundy’s great whites.
Jasper Morris MW, Burgundy Wine Director
An outstanding Macon white from my favourite producer in the region. This simply over delivers; full and rich, the concentration and depth will come as a pleasant surprise. There’s a touch of toasty oak on the nose, hints of hazelnut and fine lemony acidity. The quality and ageing potential belie the very reasonable price.

Olivier and Corinne Merlin have been running their small domaine in the village of La Roche Vineuse for 25 years now, with superb attention to detail in the vineyards enabling them to make outstanding wines year in, year out. For Olivier, 2012 is a beautifully balanced vintage, with natural alcohol levels between 12.5% and 13.5%, and while yields are on the low side, the picture is much less catastrophic than in the Côte de Beaune. Olivier has been cutting back on the new wood, with most cuvées now receiving between 10 and 20%.

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 -19C, decant an hour before serving. Lovely with red meats and winter stews.

Domaine Castagnier,
Ready, but will keep,
This comes from one 60-year-old parcel in Morey-St Denis, with two-thirds Pinot Noir, one-third Gamay, co-planted. A very correct, frank and bright wine, it has a lovely crunchy and tasty palate, with just a hint of cassis. The pleasure of simple things. Drink 2018-2021.
Adam Bruntlett, Wine Buyer
Jérôme Castagnier is fifth generation, though passage through the female line and sons-in-law has changed the family name: the originator Jules Séguin was succeeded by Albert Rameau then Gilbert Vadey, a military man, who developed the business, working closely with Alexis Lichine. Guy Castagnier, born in Algeria, married Mademoiselle Vadey and began working at the domaine in 1975. Since 2004 the wines have been bottled as Domaine Castagnier. Jérôme, the sole son, did not originally intend to join the family business, becoming instead a professional trumpeter in the Republican Guard. In 2004 he left Paris and the army and came back to Morey-St Denis. Across his several appellations, Jérôme Castagnier is very fortunate, as all his vines are in single plots in each vineyard. As at other addresses, his Chambolle was worst hit by the frost (down 70 percent), then his Clos Vougeot (50 percent), but his Morey vines and other Grands Crus were only down by 10 to 15 percent. He didn’t have any problem with the mildew, possibly due to the homogeneity of his vineyards. Jérôme loves the style of his 2016s and considers it a better vintage for him than 2015, itself something of a turning point for him and the domaine. There is a very good feel about this enthusiastic and hard-working vigneron, and he is still refining his style.

Louis Boillot,
Ready, but will improve,
Les Rouchaux is always the finest of Louis’s Moulin- à-Vent wines, and always the closest in style to Pinot Noir. Unusually this year, 10 percent whole bunches were used, as part of an experiment by Louis’s son Clément, who runs the estate with his father. There is yet more freshness here, real energy, along with a supple and suave touch to the tannic structure. A wine of great finesse and texture. Drink 2021-2030.

The excellence of Cru Beaujolais is something I have held dear for some time, but its ageing potential was first brought to my attention when I was served two Moulin-à-Vent wines from 1961 and 1962 produced by Camille Giroud. The freshness and complexity of these wines was simply astonishing and I have since made it something of a personal mission to return these great wines to their rightful place in the cellars and on the tables of the most discerning wine drinkers. The wines in our offer cover a range of styles; whole-bunch, de-stemmed, oaked, unoaked, elegant and floral, dense and structured. This almost endless variety and versatility is what is most fascinating about Gamay grown on Beaujolais’s volcanic soils. What the wines have in common, however, is that they all offer excellent value for money and great drinking pleasure.

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.

Trediberri’s ‘tre’ are father and son, Federico and Nicola Oberto, along with their associate and friend Vladimiro Rambaldi. Their story began only in 2008 with the purchase of five hectares of vines in the hamlet of Berri, close to La Morra, which – together with close to two hectares of the mighty Rocche dell’Annunziata vineyard in front of their cantina – convinced Nicola to give up finance and turn to the trowel.
