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.

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.

Frederic Mabileau,
Drink now,
This comes from a vineyard with sandy gravel soils in the westernmost sector of the St Nicolas de Bourgueil appellation. This is the one cuvée for which Frédéric retains a proportion of the stems. It’s then raised for four months in stainless steel tanks, to emphasise its bright, lifted aromas of red berry and black pepper. There’s real tension to the palate, and fine, grippy tannins, which will have you reaching for a plate of charcuterie. Drink now to 2022.

Il Poggione,
Ready, but will improve,
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.
Gary Owen, Private Account Manager
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.

For laying down,
Ch. Marsau is a clearly a property that performs well in warm vintages, with 2005, 2009 and now 2015 showing that can really outperform its classification. The 100% Merlot in the wine is reminiscent of Pomerol and in these top vintages it is a fantastic buy for any Pomerol fan looking for value for money. It has a lovely fragrant blackberry laced nose with notes of violets. The palate is juicy and full with plush tannins and rich blackberry fruit, it offers great value and will drink well from 2018 through to 2025.

Domaine Mouton,
Drink now,
As always this wine is very expressive, packed full of vibrant fruit characters. The nose shows plenty of orange, greengage and white blossom, while the palate is equally generous with more citrus and stone-fruit. Barrel fermentation brings a nice creaminess to the wine and the finish is long and expressive. Think of this as a “mini-Condrieu”. Drink now to 2021.

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’.

Isabel Estate,
Drink now,
Fresh, grassy and vibrant, this is a wonderful example of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Aromatic without being overly pungent, the wine has an appealing restraint while losing none of the classic appeal of this variety. This is superbly refreshing and very harmonious with the purity of the finish inviting another sip. This would be perfect for a summer’s evening dining al fresco.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Benjamin Leroux,
Ready, but will improve,
Frost this year means Ben has had to adjust the makeup of this cuvée slightly, but this is a charming blend of fruit from Meursault, Puligny, Vosne- Romanée and the Hautes Côtes. The nose has a lovely floral feel which continues to the palate, with a touch of white peach and a refreshing citrus edge. Raised mostly in foudre with some large barrels, it was bottled in mid-October. Drink 2017-2019.
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.

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…

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

Ornellaia,
Ready, but will improve,
Lifted black Cherry, plum notes, Thyme and “teal like” leafiness in the background, on the nose. A seamless melange of aromas. This is a serious Serre Nuove. No less enjoyable but allow a few years before approaching. The medium bodied silky blackcurrant fruit on the mid palate, shows great vim & vigour, with the vibrant leaf bud element of the increased percentage of the Cabernet Franc visible. Great grip of well intergrated tannins. A finely constructed, savoury Serre Nuove. 2021- 2028.

La Monacesca, Marche,
Drink now,
Compared to the formidable, late harvest 2010 vintage, 2011 was earlier, and hence treats us to an earlier, fruitier yet sapid drinkability. Aldo Cifola has remained true to his traditional approach, eschewing oak, and capturing the essence of this classical Marche wine. Pale lemon in colour, the nose is focussed and transparent, with smoky, nutty, cereally notes; I love those cool lemony whiffs, of wet stones that conjure up images of Chablis (with sun), or should that be Trebbiano (d'Abruzzo nextdoor)? Very textural, pure and sleek, the palate is essential, with acacia honey, lemon and white peach stone flavours. It's full but slight at the same time, perfectly balanced at 13.5%, with presence and poise. I'm thinking grilled sea bream or bass. Bravo Aldo.

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.
