Fine Burgundy

Abbayes de Santenay’s wines reflects the philosophy of Ludovic Pierrot, the winemaker. Purity of the wine and expression of the terroir. This is Pinot Noir from 75 year old vines facing south east on clay limestone soil. 80% is destemmed and cold soaked and then aged for 15 months with 20% new oak. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in barrel.

Great value at this price for quality Burgundy.

From a long line of wine growers passing down from father to son, Charles Audoin took over the family property in 1972 with his wife Marie Francoise. Charles? son Cyril joined his father in 2000 and is now responsible for the vines and winemaking. Located within the commune of Marsannay La Cote, the domaine stretches over almost 35 acres, and the diversity of soils and grapes makes it possible to produce a range of fourteen different wines.

Chablis is the northernmost wine region in Burgundy, which produces only Chardonnay. The cooler climate gives these wines crispness, acidity and a flinty minerality.

This wine is fresh and pure with an underlying minerality. The palate reveals notes of citrus combined with spicy aromas (fennel, lime blossom, cinnamon and hawthorn). Billaud-Simon wines offer exceptional ageing potential and will evolve well over time.

The Cordier family have been making wine based in the village of Fuisse for many years with a spread of vineyards throughout this small sub-region

This is a delicious Chardonnay from low-yielding vines in the Bois d'Allier vineyeard near Charnay, that offers real depth and concentration for its price. Maturation in old oak foudres has given a gentle vanilla edge to the rich green apple fruit and nutty tones but not masked the firm acidity and chalky minerality.

An excellent example of the Côte de Nuits Villages appellation.

"An intense garnet-red colour and typical aromas of small black fruit, such as blackcurrant.
This big, powerful wine is bursting with delicious flavours on the palate, while revealing a rounded style and the mellowest of tannins." - Winemaker's note.

This delicate, fine-boned wine comes from vineyards below Volnay and Puligny classed as Bourgogne and aged between 45 and 55 years of age. 100% destemmed. A third was vinified and matured in tank to preserve the bright fruit. Aromatic, light in body and very pretty.

Rich layers of concentrated fruit held in check by crisp but balanced acidity, which marries beautifully with its lemon zest flavours and creamy texture. Premier Cru Chablis is one of the great wines of the world and this one comes from the relatively new Domaine Pattes Loup, a 24 hectare certified organic vineyard owned by Thomas Pico in the village of Courgis in Burgundy's northern outpost.  

Pico was inspired by his grape growing grandfather "Not to make the same mistakes that I did, which led him to stop spraying his vines with herbicides when he returned to Courgis in 2004 after several years working in Nuits St George. First he stopped spraying herbicides, then he began to transition to organic certification and he has since forged a name synonymous with high quality and integrity every step of the way. The name Pattes Loup means wolf's paws and is named after the block of vineyard he inherited from his family.

Domaine Pattes Loup is a 24 hectare certified organic vineyard owned by Thomas Pico in the village of Courgis in Burgundy's northern outpost, Chablis. This creamy and crisp Chablis is an excellent example of what happens when small scale meets lofty ambitions of making full bodied, beautifully balanced, complex Chablis using organically certified grapes. 

Pattes Loup, which means 'wolf's paw'.

One per person please - thanks

William Fevre is one of Chablis' great wine domaines. On this wine, the palate has excellent grip and is classically bone dry with an unctuous, oily texture. The nose is layered with wet stone and chalk minerality, nuts, pale stone fruit and ripe citrus. Notes of ripe green fruit, bright citrus acidity and a lengthy finish make for an elegant, high end Chablis.

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.
