Chardonnay from Maconnais and Chalonnais are comparable in price and quality to Chardonnay from anywhere in the world. The incomparable village wines of the Cote de Beaune such as Chassagne and Meursault are well represented. From Chablis we import two of the very best exponents; Fevre offers a generous oak influenced wine and Louis Michel a flintier leaner style.

2005 will prove to be another outstanding vintage, with great depth of flavour and oplent character. The 2006 shows the outstanding continuity of quality we have come to expect.

Chablis

Domaine de Chessimont, Louis Michel

The highly regarded Louis Michel wines are some of the finest in Chablis. Totally unoaked the wines achieve striking purity with intense fruit and piercing freshness. 6 to 9 months on lees adds depth and finesse to his wines. We are proud to represent Louis Michel under the Domaine de Chessimont label in the U.K.

Jean Paul Droin

Since son Benoit took up the reins a dramatic increase in both quality and interest have elevated this estate to the highest rating. 2002’s will be shipped and available in May.

William Fevre

William Fevre wines are produced with the utmost care. Low yields from hand harvested vines the grapes are quickly pressed, the best wines are fermented and aged in oak to give the right degree of flavour. Elegant and inviting with the classic steely quality of Chablis.

White Burgundy

Louis Latour, Beaune

Situated in Beaune itself Maison Louis Latour founded in 1797 provides a reliable source of wine. Their Corton Charlemagne surely ranks amongst the best white wines in the world. Value and quality go hand in hand throughout their extensive range of excellent wines. At a recent Latour tasting the newly bottled 2002’s were showing really well. With the increasing prices for the 2005 reds we have tried to stick with the more than acceptable 2004's.

Domaine Bouchard Père et Fils, Beaune

Enjoying a renaissance in quality, this two century old house is now refinding its form. Investment from a Champagne house has allowed re-investment in the iwnery which has had a revitalising effect throughout the estate.

Their vineyard holding in Burgundy are impressive, and now so are the wines.

Small Domaines and Independent Winemakers

Roger Lassarat, Vergisson

Roger Lassarat is mayor of Vergisson as well as a great character and super winemaker. The Saint Véran Cuvée Prestige is from 60 year old vines, 50% barrel fermented to give a lush texture with great depth.

Hubert Laferrere, Lugny

Hugely enjoyable, mature wine which harks back to a style of yesteryear. Ripe and creamy on the nose yet

light and elegant in the mouth.

Henri et Paul Jacqueson, Rully

The wines of Henri and Paul Jacqueson are on many of France’s finest restaurant wine lists. Low yielding old vines coupled with proficient winemaking produce beautiful wines.

Domaine de Soufrandise

In our opinion the top estate in the village.

Henri Prudhon, Saint Aubin

Top quality white Burgundy and staggeringly good value , fresh and focused the Prudhons never let you down.

Francois Jobard, Meursault

One of the top three producers whose style tends towards the lean and taut with only sparing use of oak. For a taste of Meursault at a third the price his Bourgogne Blanc is a masterpiece.

Domaine Morey-Coffinet, Chassagne Montrachet

A meeting of two great Burgundy dynasties. Michel and his son Thibault strive to create wines of great harmony and balance. As with many growers in the top villages theirs is a patchwork of tint parcels of land that some of the industrial size producers elsewhere in the World would find laughable. For instance, they own vines in six different Premier Cru of Chassagne ranging from the largest at 0.72 hectares of La Romanée down to 0.16 hectares of Morgeot. Each of these precious parcels of land is handled with the knowledge and experience handed down through the generations to craft the most delicious wine.

Bernard Morey, Chassagne Montrachet

Bernard produces red and white wines of great panache. The whites are fine with a most attrcative fatness and richness this makes them highly enjoyable immediately but even more so after a few years in bottle.

Fernand et Laurent Pillot, Chassagne Montrachet

Dynamic Laurent heads up this 14 hectare estate,; this gorgeous wine is fermented in oak barrique (30 % new) and matured therein for 12 months.

Vincent Girardin, Santenay

The man with the midas touch, all his wines have a vibrant joie de vivre and are well received. We have bought wine from Vincent for 10 years but this is our first white wine, try a bottle to find out why!

Jean-Marc Boillot, Pommard

Ridiculously good multi layered and complex wine

Comte Armand , Pommard

Excellent biodynamic estate
