Corney & Barrow 

The beginning of 2010, as with every year, was marked by the release of the latest vintage of wines from Burgundy ( en primeur ). Across the UK, tastings were squeezed into every available minute as the first glasses of the 2008 vintage were poured and enjoyed. However, while waiting for the 2008 stock to be bottled, we should make the most of the older vintages which are ready to drink from now onwards. Tasting a line up last week, Oliver Leflaive’s Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Dents de Chien was voted one of the stars of the show, backed up by Decanter who voted it best value white Burgundy available now. Decanter also voted the Côte de Nuits-Villages, La Robignotte Monopole 2006 from Gilles Jourdan and the Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Petits Plets 2004 from Domaine de l'Arlot , two of their 10 best newly released red Burgundies. We fully advise them as they are showing brilliantly right now.
