Chateau Pontet-Canet 2014

From grapes grown on the steeply sloping amphitheatre of Clos de l’Arlot, perhaps explaining the greater structure and rigour in this premier cru. This white’s superiority is immediately apparent in its elevated richness and density. 20% new oak here too, which is all but imperceptible. While white Nuits-Saint-Georges may be a rarity, it is one well worth discovering – the flavour profile edging towards peachy stone fruits over the orchard fruit further south

Pingus Dominio de Pingus 2014

Musigny Blanc Grand Cru Domaine Comtes Georges de Vogue 2015

An immediately accessible, rounded style, richly textured though bearing the hallmark house freshness.

Lodovico will always be a rarity. It comes from a very specific parcel, set within some already very special, ‘Cabernet Francfriendly’ terroir. Adding to its rarity is the fact that Lodovico sets the quality bar so high that only a few vintages pass his rigorous standards. We are delighted that 2011 passed muster – an amazing wine, given the relative youth of the vines. A beautiful rich colour once again, this offers a complex, effusive nose, floral and aromatic, rich in spiced red and black fruit, with white pepper, cedar, coffee and marmalade notes. The palate echoes the aromatics offered on the nose, set within an already sumptuous frame. This has so much potential, yet is ridiculously approachable, even now. There is clearly innate power – yet obscured by a noble structure, great poise and elegance – very impressive!

La Fleur de Rocheyron 2010

Chateau Belair-Monange 1er Grand Cru Classe St-Emilion 2014

A seperate parcel within Tenuta di Biserno representing the very lifeblood of Lodovico's ambition.

A perennial favourite of Corney & Barrow, this is a tiny 3 hectare estate on light, sandy soil in St Sulpice de Faleyrens (home it must be said for some plots of the notorious garage wine Château Valandraud) and has produced in 2011 a delightfully plump and happy wine.

Petrus 2013 Magnum

A smoky, savoury character here makes for a delightful food wine, silk textured and generous through to an aromatic finish.

Amarone della Valpolicella, usually referred to as plain old Amarone, was the saviour of the Valpolicella region. It is one of the most recognisable styles in the world of wine and Quintarelli’s offering ranks among Italy’s top wines. The grapes are 55% Corvina and Corvinone, 30% Rondinella, with the remaining 15% made up of Cabernet Sauvignon, Nebbiolo, Croatina and Sangiovese. Harvested in midSeptember, this is a selection of the grapes used for the Valpolicella. The grapes are taken to the drying room following harvest and immediately placed onto rush matting. It is essential that they are positioned correctly so that the raisining can take place in a complete and natural way.
