		DOMAINE ARLAUD Excellent domaine, that has been going from strength to strength since 2001; with the 2005 vintage being a real high-point! A fully ORGANIC Domaine; even horse and plough are now being used!
36	75cl	Domaine Arlaud Gevery Chambertin AM - A gentle, even subtle touch of wood frames fresh and bright red berry fruit aromas nuanced by Gevrey earth notes combines with relatively fruit driven middle weight flavours that are both sweet and delicious. I like the volume and exuberant sap yet underneath the upfront fruit is a serious core of structure that will enable this to age effortlessly over the medium term. The best of these villages wines.	2005	£35.00	AM90 2009-20
36	75cl	Domaine Arlaud Charmes Chambertin GC AM - Strikingly pretty red pinot fruit aromas that possess fine density and this sense of concentration can also be found on the complex, supple and balanced flavours supported by a finely textured finish where the tannins arrive in a rush at the finish. This seems almost soft at first but the firm finish dispels the notion that this will be an early drinker.	2006	£54.00	AM92 2014-30
6	75cl	Domaine Arlaud Clos St Denis GC ST - Good deep red. Complex briary aromas of cherry, brown spices, mocha and menthol. Quite suave and fine-grained on the palate, with harmonious acidity and a minty note framing the sexy, soil-driven flavours of red fruits, dried flowers and peppery spices. Finishes with sweet tannins and lovely subtle lingering perfume. "The Musigny of Morey," says Cyprien about this grand cru, which needs time in bottle to put on weight and express itself.	2006	£62.00	ST92 2013-28
48	75cl	Domaine Arlaud Morey St Denis 'Les Ruchots' 1er Cru AM - Ruchots is in my estimation the finest of the Morey 1ers and this example will only serve to reinforce that point of view as it again delivers grand cru like quality. A riper and more deeply pitched nose features a complex blend of red and blue pinot fruit with lovely violet and earth nuances that continue onto the round, rich, suave and generous flavours that possess good volume and excellent balance plus fine aging potential.	2006	£42.00	AM92 2013-28
12	75cl	Domaine Arlaud Bonnes Mares GC AM - High-toned fruit and distinct warm earth, game, herbal and smoke notes gives way to equally powerful, *deep and backward full-bodied flavours that possess plenty of muscle and finish with buckets of sève* that completely coat and stain the palate.** There is notably good freshness and first rate persistence plus excellent balance that will permit this to age effortlessly, which it will need as it's presently a bit more restrained than the Clos St. Denis.	2004	£68.00	AM92 2012-25

		DOMAINE BERTAGNA Excellent estate, wines very rare in the UK: full, round, with lots of style and structure.			All these wines are on Special Offer.

9	75cl	Domaine Bertagna Vougeot Clos Perriere 1er Cru	1998	£25.00

		BOUCHARD Pére & Fils Excellent negociant, with large holdings of own domaine vineyards. Always maintains a very high standard, so this assures excellent quality to price! Highly Recommended
24	75cl	Bouchard Chambertin GC AM - A cool, earthy and distinctly floral nose complements equally cool and reserved big-bodied flavours that are linear, direct, powerful and ooze minerality on the hugely long finish that displays plenty of sauvage influence. This is a classic old school Cham with impressive aging potential.	2006	£148.00	AM95 2018-32
12	75cl	Bouchard Chambertin GC AM - Crushed and very spicy black, intensely pinot fruit aromas blend into intense, sweet, dusty, relatively round and elegant flavours that display plenty of ripe soil and mineral nuances, superb density and outstanding finishing complexity. This is most impressive as the finish goes on and on. In short, this is extremely classy juice that offers outstanding potential.	2002	£125.00	AM93 2012-27
12	75cl	Bouchard Beaune Les Teurons 1er Cru AM - The nose is both expressive and very fresh with lovely red pinot fruit and strong earth nuances that give way to firm, dusty, somewhat linear flavours, yet the finish offers plenty of velvet and fine complexity.	2002	£27.00	AM89 Now - 2016
36	75cl	Bouchard Beaune Gréves Vigne de L'Enfant Jesus 1er Cru AM - A distinctly more elegant and higher-toned nose introduces rich, full, pliant and refined flavours that possess outstanding depth on the ripe, balanced, pure and sublimely harmonious finish. A terrific Beaune and highly recommended.	2005	£59.00	AM93 2013-28
82	75cl	Bouchard Beaune Gréves Vigne de L'Enfant Jesus 1er Cru AM - The nose is wonderfully expressive, rich and classy, leading to concentrated, dense, pure, textured and beautifully detailed and precise flavours that ooze minerality and sap on the wonderfully long finish. This is very powerful for a Beaune 1er and it will be capable of aging for two decades, perhaps longer.	2002	£52.00	AM92 2009 - 22
10	75cl	Bouchard Beaune Gréves Vigne de L'Enfant Jesus 1er Cru ST - Good medium red colour. Strawberry and raspberry aromas complicated by notes of wood smoke, smoked meat and mint. Smooth and concentrated, with chewy cherry and spice flavours and excellent volume. Youthful, sappy and substantial wine, with excellent fruit and solid underlying structure. Finishes with dusty, even tannins and excellent persistence. A very impressive Beaune wine.	1999	£48.00	ST92 2006-20
11	75cl	Bouchard Monthelie AM - Quite ripe but here the aromas are darker and blacker in character and the flavours possess better definition plus more obvious structure on the medium length finish. I particularly like the freshness.	2002	£19.00	AM87 2007-14
60	75cl	Bouchard Monthelie Champs Fulliot 1er Cru AM - More subtle and better integrated wood (though it's not invisible) sets off the dark berry and cassis suffused nose that merges into richer, fuller yet finer flavours that possess the same excellent volume if perhaps a touch less power and punch, all wrapped in a firm and chewy finish. Built to age.	2005	£22.00	AM89 2013-24
18	75cl	Bouchard Savigny-les-Beaune Les Lavieres AM - There is a bit more wood present than in the Savigny villages but it's not intrusive, just noticeable. Interestingly, while this is finer and more elegant it's not more complex on the red pinot and earth-infused nose that complements the rich and impressively long finish that is both suave and minerally.	2005	£22.00	AM89 2012-22
12	75cl	Bouchard Vosne Romanee Les Malconsorts 1er Cru AM - A spicy, expressive, indeed almost flashy nose of intense and layered black berry fruit aromas nuanced by floral and earth hints that can also be found on the robust, powerful and well-muscled flavours that explode on the wonderfully long and penetrating backend. This is unusually demonstrative for a young Malconsorts yet I suspect it will go into an extended hibernation in due course. In short, this has huge potential. Outstanding Wine!	2005	£137.00	AM95 2017-29

		DOMAINE CASTAGNIER Good estate, although not that well known, making good wines in a more robust style.
11	75cl	Domaine Castagnier Clos de la Roche, GC	1996	£44.00	A very fine Grand Cru from an excellent vintage! SPECIAL PRICE

		DOMAINE CHANSON In the last 3 years the quality of this domaine has really improved, but prices are still reasonable, so well worth a try!
24	75cl	Domaine Chanson Beaune Clos des Feves RP - From a little-known monopole situated above Cent Vignes, Chanson’s 2005 Beaune Clos des Feves shares with its better-known neighbour high-toned aromas of cherry and cherry pit. In the mouth, liquorice, cherry pit, brown spices and wet stones mingle with promising dynamic against a backdrop of firm, fine tannins, and a decidedly bitter-sweet and stony concentration completes a picture that promises positive development over the next several years.	2005	£35.00	RP88 Now - 2020
12	75cl	Domaine Chanson Chambertin Clos des Beze Grand Cru RP - The Chanson 2005 Chambertin Clos de Beze displays a lovely nose of black fruits, tea, citrus zest, rose petal and roasted red meat. Impressively clear and bright in the mouth, this packs in abundant, fine-grained tannin and finishes brightly and authoritatively with blackberry, liquorice, black tea, salted, roasted meat, and chalk dust.	2005	£110.00	RP90 2011-22

		DOMAINE ROBERT CHEVILLON One of the best growers in Nuits St George with very old vines; making rich, opulent and classy wines
32	75cl	Domaine R. Chevillon Nuits St. George Vieilles Vignes AM - Explosively fruity with dense, sappy, earthy flavours that display no rusticity or hardness. To be sure, this is firmly structured yet beautifully balanced. An altogether lovely Nuits villages.	2001	£26.00	AM88 Now -2014
9	75cl	Domaine R. Chevillon Nuits St George Les Chaignots 1er Cru AM - Deeper register aromas of earthy but spicy dark berry fruits and a touch of animale leads to serious, dense and relatively powerful flavours that culminate in a dusty, mouth coating and admirably persistent finish. This doesn't have the style of the Bousselots but it's appealing in its way. It's interesting how these two vineyards, which abut one another, give completely different results.	2005	£39.00	AM91 2010-22
12	75cl	Domaine R. Chevillon Nuits St George Les St George 1er Cru AM - Here the equally elegant fruit profile runs more to the red side of the spectrum though it is perhaps not quite as complex yet the rich, round and stylish flavours are actually more complex with a delicious, powerful and seriously long finish that packs a real punch. A wine that should mature well over the medium term.	2006	£45.00	AM93 2014-30
8	75cl	Domaine R. Chevillon Nuits St George Les St George 1er Cru AM - This is ever so slightly finer and firmer than the Les Cailles, with more red fruits than black and wonderful finishing intensity. Refined, elegant, classy and the epitome of finesse. I like this a lot and despite the tenderness, I suspect this will age for years because it is superbly well balanced.	2000	£39.00	AM92 Now - 2018 BIN END PRICE
36	75cl	Domaine R. Chevillon Nuits St George Les Perrieres 1er Cru AM - As it usually is, this is the most elegant wine to this point and cooler as well with finely detailed red pinot fruit that proffers obvious stone notes that continue onto to the equally detailed and precise flavours that are fresh, balanced and refined on the punchy, vibrant and linear finish. I very much like the style here as it's a wine of finesse and understatement yet with character.	2005	£42.00	AM92 2011-25
8	75cl	Domaine R. Chevillon Nuits St George Les Perrieres 1er Cru AM - Refined and pure with elegant pinot fruit and intense minerality with precise flavours and superb finesse. This is not as complex as the Chaignots but is definitely finer and offers terrific harmony from start to finish.	2000	£34.00	AM91 Now - 2015
36	75cl	Domaine R. Chevillon Nuits St George Les Pruliers 1er Cru AM - In contrast to the elegance of the Perrières, this is much more deeply pitched with distinct floral aromas and nuances of spice, earth and a certain *subtle sauvage* character that leads to bigger and more robust flavours blessed with ample concentration and intensity** on the masculine and moderately rustic finish.	2006	£39.00	AM91 2014-28
36	75cl	Domaine R. Chevillon Nuits St George Les Roncières 1er Cru AM - A discreet background of wood spice highlights more deeply pitched aromas of red and blue berry fruits plus violet and game hints that slide into concentrated and admirably rich medium-bodied flavours that evidence obvious minerality on the wonderfully long and impressively deep finish. Recommended.	2006	£39.00	AM92 2014-28
12	75cl	Domaine R. Chevillon Nuits St George Les Roncières 1er Cru AM - The Roncières displays a more classic Nuits flavour profile with somewhat coarser flavours and firmer tannins though it also offers plenty of underlying material and should develop relatively quickly over the next 5 to 7 years but drink well for another 5 after that.	2000	£32.00	AM89 Now -2018
36	75cl	Domaine R. Chevillon Nuits St George Les Vaucrains 1er Cru AM - A brooding and much more reserved nose is densely fruited with notes of plum, blueberry, earth and a subtle sauvage hint that mouth coating and impressively concentrated flavours that positively explode on the gorgeously long finish. As it always is, this is a big and powerful wine yet with a bit more elegance than usual. Terrific and potentially the class of the range in 2006.	2006	£45.00	AM94 2016-32

		DOMAINE du CLOS des LAMBRAYS A leading Morey-Saint Denis domaine, making full, rich, long lasting wines. The Clos de Lambrays wine is about the best value Grand Cru wines to be had, based on price/quality performance!
27	75cl	Domaine Clos des Lambrays Morey St Denis 'Les Loups' 1er Cru AM - Here there is more aromatic elegance as well as depth with a broader spectrum of fruit aromas nuanced by spice and mineral hints that continue onto the rich, vibrant and intense medium full flavours underpinned by suave tannins and a detailed and wonderfully pure finish. Recommended.	2005	£52.00	AM91 2009-25
30	75cl	Domaine Clos des Lambrays Clos de Lambrays Grand Cru AM - A much more deeply pitched nose of dark berry fruit, spice, earth, a hint of animale and an overlay of obvious minerality complements perfectly the rich, full and sweet broad-scaled yet elegant flavours that are solidly structured and firm on the detailed and wonderfully intense finish. This powerful, long and serious vintage of Clos des Lambrays is built for the medium plus term, which is to say out to 20 years of improvement followed by another 20 of plateau.	2005	£158.00	AM94 2017-40
12	75cl	Domaine Clos des Lambrays Clos de Lambrays Grand Cru AM - Here the aromas are more elegant and more complex but not necessarily riper with high-toned red pinot fruit and an attractive dried herb note that sits atop earthy yet fine and refined medium full flavours that deliver outstanding detail and delineation. This is a classically styled wine with prominent but ripe acidity and dusty tannins that have just enough phenolic maturity. This will be one of the more elegant and refined vintages of Clos des Lambrays and the balance is such that it should age extremely well over the moderate term, which is to say 25 to 30 years.	2004	£75.00	AM92 2014-36
24	75cl	Domaine Clos des Lambrays Clos de Lambrays Grand Cru AM - The nose is certainly quite ripe yet clearly pinot-based with a potent mix of red, black and violet aromas that introduce powerful and concentrated flavours that are supple, rich, densely but finely structured and immensely complex, possessing enormous depth and incredible length. The only nit is a touch of warmth but that often comes with the territory in this vintage. A 2003 to buy.	2003	£89.00	AM92 2010-25
55	75cl	Domaine Clos des Lambrays Clos de Lambrays Grand Cru AM - Medium ruby. Aromas of wild berries, game and a subtle note of smoke lead to rich, intense, moderately fat flavours that are wonderfully well-balanced largely because of the racy, indeed bright acidity. This has tightened up considerably since it was bottled with a dusty, sweet and precise finish that is strikingly long. In short, delicious yet entirely serious and a wine that should age gracefully for two decades, perhaps longer.	2002	£92.00	AM92 2010-29
