Director's Dozen
Enira, Bessa Valley
Bessa Valley, Bulgaria
1 x 75cl bottle
Count Stephan von Neipperg, owner of several famous Bordeaux properties, including Châteaux Canon La Gaffelière and La Mondotte, sought out the Bessa Valley where the wonderful clay-limestone soils showed him the potential to make great wines. The nose explodes with vanilla and menthol aromas, followed by strong blackberry and raspberry nuances. The mouth is starting with a round attack, followed by some structured woody tannins and a red fruits in the middle. This wine is ending with an amazing balance between its 12 month wood ageing and the perfect ripeness of its harvested grapes.
Château Le Bruilleau Pessac Leognan Blanc
Pessac, Bordeaux, France
1 x 75cl bottle
This wine from the excellent 2019 vintage has an abundance of apples, acacia honey, pears and a touch and flint on the nose. The palate is fresh, mid-palate minerality with long finish of citrus. Excellent with Seared fine fish, steamed with cream sauce, langoustines, lemon monkfish.
Genetie Saint Veran
Burgundy, France

Classic Burgundian Chardonnay from the area offering some lovely fresh citrus notes of lemon peel, floral notes with interesting exotic undertones. Perfect accompaniment to pan seared scallops, crab, vichyssoise (a leek and potato based soup), and dishes with a cream and lemon based sauce.
Piedra Negra Malbec Francois Lurton
Mendoza, Argentina
1 x 75cl bottle
In 1999 Lurton produced their first “Piedra Negra” (named after the black foothills of the Andes). Even from the first vintage it was all they hoped it would be, complex, fine and elegant with a purity of flavour. Today this wine has become one of the world’s benchmark Malbec's.
Chateau La Gueriniere Saint Emilion
Bordeaux, France
1 x 75cl bottle
Here's another stunning Bordeaux from the dynamite 2018 vintage. This one is from the famous right bank commune of St. Emilion. The wine is aged in concrete tanks instead of oak barrels to retain the bright flavors of the fruit from this remarkable vintage and allow the grapes to express themselves naturally. The wine shows deep purple in colour and red currants on the nose. On the palate there's a bold expression of blackberries, currants and tobacco with a mouthfeel that is both fleshy and silky. Super value!
Chateau Grand Lys Bordeaux
Bordeaux, France
1 x 75cl bottle

Domaine La Font de Notre Dame Rasteau
Southern Rhone, France
1 x 75cl bottle
Deep crimson in colour, with notes of strawberries and blackberries. On the palate, the wine has a velvety mouthfeel and fresh acidity. Redcurrant flavours continue through the mouth-watering finish.
Louis Latour, Domaine de Valmoissine Pinot Noir
Var - Coteaux du Verdon France

Ruby red colour with garnet tints. It has an intense nose with aromas of Morello cherries. It is harmonious in the mouth with slightly young tannins which will soon become fine and silky-smooth. It is a wonderfully balanced wine.
Chateau Roc De Levraut Asteries Cabernet Sauvignon
Bordeaux, France
1 x 75cl bottle
Very exciting new arrival from our friends at Chateau Roc De Levraut. There are notes of blackcurrant fruit, and an underlying hint of minerality, a little bit chalky in terms of sensation in the mouth, it is wonderfully smooth, with lovely fruit content and a great but subtle presence of oak, that results in a really nicely balanced wine. The presentation is beautiful, simple but striking. A wine that really is the full package.
Babington Brook Shiraz
South Australia, Australia
1 x 75cl bottle
An aromatic bouquet of ripe fruits, cherries and blackcurrants, with notes of freshly ground coffee, dark chocolate, peppermint, liquorice and subtle pepper. Delicious and smooth with good balanced fruit weight.
Chateau La Verriere Bordeaux Superieur

The Verriere red has excellent structure with aromas of red cherry, blackberry, juicy raspberry and toasty notes from the barrel ageing. Tannins are silky and a long with an impressive finish. It makes an excellent accompaniment to beef, lamb, game and hard cheeses.
Taylors Late Bottled Vintage Port
Taylor Fladgate
