Welcome to our wine list.
Every wine listed has a short tasting note.
My favourite type of wine is Burgundian Pinot Noir (as you might
guess from the address of this website), and our greatest strength
is in wines from Burgundy (particularly red), where we deal direct
with mainly young, talented growers who are aware of the threat
of the New World and are producing, I think, really thrilling wines. Another
feature of red burgundy is that, contrary to myth, it need not
be expensive – you will find dozens at under £15 listed
on our site. And compared to New World Pinot Noir these wines
offer stunning value for money – true Pinot Noir flavours
at prices that are generally below their New World competitors.
However, we do not ignore other areas – either in France
or around the world: we offer a carefully selected range
of wines in styles to suit just about everyone (OK, so we can’t
help Liebfraumilch drinkers!), and all the wines we list are enthusiasms
of ours.
In selecting wines we taste constantly, always on the look-out
for individual wines with real character – they must be a
positive pleasure to return to. Not for us glossy, faultless,
chemistry-set wines made to a formula (and a price point). Above
all we are concerned with the contents of the bottles we taste,
not the labels on the outside.
We hope you enjoy the list.
