An initial subtly herby aroma gives way to musky orchard fruit and a citrus lift. The faint earthy impression is a classic Cava characteristic; here well balanced with the bright fruit and a slight anise note of fennel. A zesty party fizz.

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.

Rich, deep colour with purple rim, this is a very dense, powerful wine, with rich, dark liqueur cherry notes. There is unusual weight for a Bourgogne Rouge, while the acidity maintains freshness. A Bourgogne to lay down.

In collaboration with Luke Edward Hall, a rising star of British design, we present our second limited-edition label for Good Ordinary Claret. Just 4,000 bottles featuring Hall’s Bacchanalian-inspired artwork have been produced.

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, juicy, black fruit and a long, velvety finish. Equally at home with a weekday supper or a grand Sunday roast, it is the perfect wine for all occasions.

From decomposed granitic vineyards just to the south of the appellation, La Rosine is a beguiling combination of silky elegance and structured gravitas. Twenty percent of stems have aided the latter; the former seems to come naturally in Stéphane’s wines. This wine is one of the most popular, year in year out, with Berry Bros. & Rudd staff, some of whom, allegedly, know a thing or two about wine.

Stéphane has come a long way in the 12 years or so that I have known him: he now has two children, an enviable reputation and a construction project to the south of Ampuis which will result in a winery to rival that of Messrs Guigal. He has also been buying land, which is no mean feat in Côte Rôtie. The challenge of 2013 centred on the cool weather in the middle of the season. Very late green harvesting and then a rapid harvest before the rains in October were key. I recall visiting during the harvest and witnessing a maelstrom of carefully choreographed activity, if you will pardon the apparent contradiction. The effort has certainly paid off. The 2013 La Rosine Syrah VDP is similar in style to the 2012, with a pretty, perfumed feel in its black cherry, chocolate, floral and peppery bouquet. Medium-bodied, elegant and juicy, drink it over the coming 5-7 years.

As stylish as it is quaffable, this bottle represents a collaboration between two uniquely British companies. Renowned designer Paul Smith has worked with Berry Bros. & Rudd to produce just 5,000 bottles of this slightly less ordinary Claret.

Our best-selling wine for many decades, Good Ordinary Claret 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. Instantly appealing, the palate follows through with delicious, juicy black fruit and a long, velvety finish. Equally at home with a weekday supper or a grand Sunday roast, it is the perfect wine for all occasions.

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.

Alive and seductive, this is a serious Nebbiolo that articulates its Verduno provenance perfectly. By that I mean it is refined yet accessible and shows a soft sunny charm underpinned by cool minerality.
David Berry Green, Fine Wine Buyer, August 2011

Rich purple with a very sensual Pinot nose, this has village class to the fruit. There is good acidity behind, nicely generous, and no sign of any tannin. 
Jasper Morris, MW - Wine Buyer

Virgile went through the vineyards 15 days before harvest, removing the leaves on the south side and taking away anything that was rotten. This kept his crop in good condition so he could afford to wait for full ripeness, not starting until 11th October. He then practised very gentle extraction to keep the tannins supple. He compares 2013 to 2008 but with greater richness of fruit. The crop is 15-to-20% up on 2012 but still well below normal.
