Founded in 1843 and a family dynasty still, it is now owned by LVMH who bought it in 1999, but it still retains its unique character. the signal qualities of Krug are due to the very particular approach and methods used in its production. The house has a broad but discerning attitude with regard to blend and proportion in the cuvées. The unusual favouring and predominance of Pinot Meunier results in the production of highly successful vintage champagne. The Krug house does not follow received adages, but takes an empirical approach without prejudice. Champagne elaboration is an inexact, organic science; every harvest is different and there needs to be on-going modification of process to respond to the changing style and preference of consumers.

This wine is produced on a very limited scale and only in the best vintage years, in which the character of the vineyard, the soil and the variety are expressed as part of a single, harmonious whole. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 26ºC and the maceration period does not exceed 12 days. The malolactic fermentation takes place in small wooden vats with a capacity of 20,000 litres and the wine is then aged for 20 months in Bordeauxstyle barrels made of French oak.

Sonoma Valley is located in the county`s southeastern corner, and effectively mirrors the shape and orientation of Napa Valley just across the Mayacamas Mountains. It encompasses Bennett Valley, Sonoma Mountain and the western half of Carneros – arguably California`s finest \"cool-climate\" terroir.

If there is a problem with the delicious wines brought forth from this natural paradise, it is that they tend to sell out pretty quickly and so the wines never reach the age they should to ensure optimum drinking and maximum expression. We have started to age a few bottles, so if you fancy some older vintages, get in touch and we will try and route some out for you. The current vintage is always still an exceptional bottle of wine, a bouquet of crushed blackberries and mulberries along with an array of smoky-leathery notes and a silky finish you can taste for several minutes. It is no exaggeration to suggest that this wine outperforms many first and second growth clarets. To finish off, a line from the current ownership...........We are not making coca-cola here - Samuel Guibert\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story of Mas de Daumas Gassac is one of vision, enterprise, passion and pride. When the Guiberts first purchased their farm (the mas) in the charming Gassac valley they little realised that they had a particular micro-climate which would give them the potential to make great wines. A visiting professor from Bordeaux, one Henri Enjalbert, identified a particular red soil that was common to certain great estates in the Médoc and Grand Cru Burgundies. Under the thick garrigue scrub and shrubs covering the Arboussas hills, he found some 40 hectares of perfectly drained soil, poor in humus and vegetable matter, rich in mineral oxide. The terroir provides the three elements necessary for a potential Grand Cru: deep soil ensuring the vines’ roots delve deep to seek nourishment; perfectly drained soil ensuring vines’ roots are unaffected by humidity; poor soil meaning that vines have to struggle to survive, an effort which creates exceptionally fine aromas. Rock, scrub and tree clearing began in 1971 and the first vines, principally Cabernet Sauvignon, were planted on the 1.6ha plot. You only have to stand in the vineyards to engage with the subtleties of these wines. The hill is thick with garrigue; strong warm scents of wild herbs imprint themselves in the air; the quality of light is fantastic. The vines are planted in small clearings amongst a myriad of Mediterranean wild plants and herbs: bay, thyme, rosemary, lavender, laburnum, fennel, wild mint, lentisque, strawberry trees which all lend their aromas to the wine. It’s all part of the ‘terroir’ effect, a combination of soil, climate and environment that sets one wine apart from another, sadly an effect that is lost in modern monoculture, where huge areas are cleared of all vegetation except vines. At nightfall, the cold air from the Larzac floods into the Gassac valley, with the result that, even in the height of summer, the vineyards benefit from cool nights and moderate daytime temperatures. The micro-climate is a huge factor in creating the outstanding complexity and finesse of the red wines. Since the beginning, the operation has grown somewhat and they now produce a number of labels and price ranges, but the core ethos remains, and their flagship wines are still referred to as the Grand Cru of the Languedoc, whilst their 'everyday' wines represent outstanding quality for the money. It's for this reason they are one of our favourite estates.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fine Wine","offers":[{"title":"1 Double Magnum 300cl - 2015","offer_id":21299674579003,"sku":"","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 Double Magnum 300cl - 2016","offer_id":21299674611771,"sku":"","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0131\/6713\/2731\/products\/mas_de_daumas_gassac.png?v=1565364024"},{"product_id":"mas-de-daumas-gassac-blanc-2018-pays-dherault","title":"Mas de Daumas Gassac Blanc 2022, Pays d'Hérault","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003eNEW\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e£59.95\u003c\/span\u003e per bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e“A Lafite in Languedoc” \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eGault \u0026amp; Millau\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“One of the 10 best wines in the world”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eMichael Broadbent MW\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV 13.5%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGRAPE\/BLEND:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22% Petit Manseng, 35% Viognier, 16% Chardonnay, 10% Chenin Blanc, 17% other varieties\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSUSTAINABLE\/ORGANIC\/BIODYNAMIC:\u003c\/strong\u003e Daumas Gassac embraces an organic culture, eschewing chemical fertilizers in favour of natural dung compost as well as tree and straw cuttings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSUITABLE FOR VEGETARIANS\/VEGANS:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALLERGENS (EGGS AND\/OR MILK):\u003c\/strong\u003e Neither used\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e pale straw in colour with scents of tropical fruits and toasted nuts.

Intense and explosive, but also remarkable vibrant, the 2015 is one of the finest Tignanellos in recent memory. The 2015 also represents a bit of a shift in winemaking philosophy that favors picking fruit a bit earlier than in the past and also blending earlier than was the case in the previous period spanning 2004-2014, when the components were aged separately and then blended just before bottling.

Founded in 1843 and a family dynasty still, it is now owned by LMVH who bought it in 1999, but it still retains its unique character. the signal qualities of Krug are due to the very particular approach and methods used in its production. The house has a broad but discerning attitude with regard to blend and proportion in the cuvées. The unusual favouring and predominance of Pinot Meunier results in the production of highly successful vintage champagne.

It boasts an inky\/purple color in addition to a sweet perfume of crushed rocks, black currants, raspberries, and hints of wood as well as cold steel.

Dark, dense and resonant, the 2016 is a wonderfully complete wine that will provide readers with decades of pure drinking pleasure. The 2016 is especially dark and brooding, and yet the tannins are incredibly polished to the point of being perceptible. In the glass, the 2016 is complete and regal, perhaps because of the super-classic blend of 80% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. The pedigree of the vintage comes through in the wine's extraordinary balance and total sense of finesse.

The quota of Cabernet Franc has been upped by a hair and this makes a big difference, especially in terms of the wine's bouquet. Otherwise, this celebrated Tuscan blend is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with Sangiovese. It opens to dark fruit aromas with crushed mineral, pipe tobacco, pressed flower and toasted spice. Its appearance is midnight black and profound. The wine delivers a sense of sheer excitement and nervousness that will subside with another few years of bottle age. Nonetheless, I think a certain amount of that bright edginess or rigidness will always be part of this cool vintage Solaia. In the mouth, the wine is firm, compact and dense.

The wine shows a tight, silky and determined approach that reminds us of the Ornellaias made under the estate's previous ownership with the Marchese Lodovico Antinori in the mid-1990s. More than anything else, this has to do with the very unique characteristics of the 2014 growing season. The wine opens to a beautifully saturated and dark appearance. Thanks to the advanced age of the vines and their extensive root systems, fruit quality was well preserved despite the cool summer and late harvest. The wine shows sweet fruit nuances with blackberry and dark currant. Spice, leather and tobacco fill in the rear. The finish reveals just enough of that acidic prickle to assure an easy ten or fifteen year drinking window.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMonica Larner - 28\/04\/2017\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ornellaia","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle 75cl","offer_id":32289507573795,"sku":null,"price":399.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0131\/6713\/2731\/products\/Ornellaia.png?v=1595435315"},{"product_id":"copy-of-opus-one-2016","title":"Opus One 2016","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRETAIL - IMMEDIATE DELIVERY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV 14%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Fantastic aromas that are complex and complete with blackcurrants, blueberries and herbs, such as basil and bay leaf.

Drink it over the next 25 years.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Parker - Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berk","offers":[{"title":"Bottle 6x75cl","offer_id":32894529175587,"sku":"","price":539.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bottle 1x75cl","offer_id":32894529208355,"sku":"","price":89.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0131\/6713\/2731\/products\/batailley_9b21970c-f240-4390-9d4d-b42433e68f71.png?v=1602056287"},{"product_id":"brunello-di-montalcino-pian-delle-vigne-antinori-2014","title":"Brunello di Montalcino, Pian delle Vigne, Antinori 2019 Offer","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e£59.95\u003c\/span\u003e per bottle\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eABV 14.5%\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSweet black cherries with some blackberries, as well as cherry blossom in both the nose and palate.

The 2010 grape harvest was characterized by regular flowering in the first ten days of June and a hot summer with significant temperature differences between day and night. Those conditions gave the wine a great structure, remarcable tastiness and intense aroms. This is how our \"Vecchia Annata\" comes to light after \"sur lie\" ageing in steel tanks for 85 months.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berk","offers":[{"title":"6 Bottle Case 6x75cl","offer_id":32894536089635,"sku":"","price":419.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Bottle 75cl","offer_id":32894536155171,"sku":"","price":69.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0131\/6713\/2731\/products\/Broglia-Gavi-di-Gavi-Vecchia-Annata.jpg?v=1601475654"},{"product_id":"vosne-romanee-perrot-minot-2016","title":"Vosne-Romanée, Perrot-Minot 2016\/2017","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e£169.95\u003c\/span\u003e per bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2017 vintage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV 13%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"review-tag desc\"\u003eThe 2016 Vosne Romanee Champs Perdrix Vieilles Vignes has a very attractive bouquet with bright crushed strawberry, redcurrant and raspberry scents, underneath which lies fine tension and delineation if not the puissance of the 2015.
