Burgundy

The wine is made in classical Beaujolais style with the stems retained to give freshness and crunchy savoury drive to accompany the fruit.

Although it was a warm year, Alexandre Burgaud kept his cool and harvested early to capture as much freshness in the wine as possible. Floral with notes of succulent just ripe raspberry, cherry and some fine tannins giving it a pleasant structure.

Traditional style Beaujolais but made with a light hand, this is brim full of juicy, aromatic ripe dark juicy berry fruit with touches of rock salt. Fruity but crispy and racy, this is mouth-watering Cru Beaujolais at its best. Laurent Martray has a small holding of well situated vines, planted next to Chateau Thivin vines, on prime south/ south east facing slopes. Made from half whole bunch and half-destalked fruit, macerated and then aged in used oak foudres for a year.

Medium bodied and brimming with bright red berry notes, this is a forward and easy drinking wine that retains plenty of character and complexity.

The Gamay vines from which the fruit is sourced have an average age of 60 years and grow on limestone with a south easterly aspect. Ageing is in large foudre to minimise oak influence and let the fruit shine.

The 2019 C?te de Brouilly Les Feuill?es is especially compelling, unfurling in the glass with aromas of cherries, wild berries, warm spices, peonies, licorice and orange rind. Medium to full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it?s velvety and concentrated, with lively acids and a long, resonant finish. This is well worth seeking out.

A cheeky little Chardonnay from Burgundy with a little bit more oomph and oak. Great value drinking.

Please note the label on the 375ml bottle does not show  'Le Sept Vignes'  but this is the wine.

Chateau Thivin is the oldest estate on Mont Brouilly, which has remained in family hands for several generations. Grown on steep slopes, harvested manually and vinified using low intervention techniques so as to maximise terroir expression. 

The Brouilly appellation is capable of producing excellent and complex wines, quite unlike the maligned Beaujolais Nouveau. Brouilly produces fruit forward, medium bodied wines, typically from the Gamay grape. 

Le Sept Vignes is a blend of the seven plots of Chateau Thivin, in an effort to represent the region's terroir. This is a delicious, medium bodied red, with slight tannins and a persistent, juicy red-fruit character. Complex yet easy-drinking in it's youth. This wine will grow in elegance given a few years age. 

Combining lovely fruitiness with an attractive freshness and characteristic minerality, Chablis is a wine region with global renown. Domaine William F?vre?s vineyards sit on Kimmeridgian subsoil and enjoy ideal exposures for the production of a very fine wine.

The nose reveals a fleshy and elegant bouquet with citrus, white fruit and floral aromas. The palate is fresh and supple, underscored by stony minerality.

Domaine William Fevre has led the Chablis revival over the past decade with its refined, full bodied, dry white wines, all 100% Chardonnay, of course, as this appellation is devoted entirely and solely to this great white grape variety.

This is a great example of Chardonnay without the influence of oak. It remains smooth and full bodied with balance from crisp, fresh, food friendly acidity adding great depth and appeal to the refreshing flavours of green apple note on the nose and palate.

Chablis is known for its steely minerality and classically fresh approach to Chardonnay, both stand out characteristics of this refreshing, full bodied wine. This wine is just that. Domaine Moreau-Naudet is highly regarded in the region for producing particularly elegant, high quality wines. This expertly crafted wine is delicious, crunchy and complex. Age will improve this Chablis.

Chablis is one of the great white wine regions of the world in its northernmost location in Burgundy.
