We used to stock the wines of Francois Jobard many years ago, and a recent return to his cellars showed us that we had been missing out in the interim. Francois has now handed over control of this estate to his son, Antoine, and we were very impressed with the quality of his 08s.

We have known this estate for many years, so it is a huge pleasure to re-visit and re-taste with François Jobard's super-capable son, Antoine. The wines used to be pretty good here, and I note Simon Loftus’ enthusiasm for them back in the ‘90s. But I am happy to say, François’s winemaking philosophy has been passed on to his son, who has taken it all to another level, and more info >>

A chunky, masculine style of Pinot Noir, reflecting the generosity of Burgundy's Pommard appellation. At its best with roasts and game.

A good way to get your hands on a top wine estate is to marry the owners daughter! This is just what Gerard Boudot did many years ago but it has proved better for the domaine in this case as his particular dedication to quality and attention to detail soon elevated Domaine Sauzet to the top flight of Burgundy producers. His wines are characterised by fine purity of fruit flavours and subtance balanced by elegant oak length. All his wines deserve bottle ageing to show their true potential.
2002 is one of the landmark years for Domaine Leflaive. The wines possess excellent structure, elegance, freshness, raciness and balance; qualities which indicate that they will age well. Plushly textured, mineral scented and offering rich flavours of spiced pears and honey on the palate, this wine is just entering its drinking window and will continue to evolve and drink well over the next decade.
A red wine from the Lorgeril family of Cabardès, grown in vineyards of neighbouring Minervois. Minervois has been described as a 'south-facing amphitheatre', making for a natural sun trap, soaking up the warmth of the Mediterranean.
All the appeal of the warm south, and the ripe raspberry character you look forward to in good Grenache. A useful quaffer for any time of the year.
A family-owned property in Morey-St-Denis, Domaine Robert Gibourg practices lutte raisonée, with a hands-on approach to both cultivation and harvesting. This amazing value Pinot Noir is made with great care, with hand picking and sorting of the grapes, and full de-stemming before fermentation. The result is a Pinot of impressive purity.
Subtly minerally, citrusy Chablis from Brocard's long-established Préhy vineyards. Wine for oysters. Julien Brocard is now managing the Chablis estate painstakingly built up from 1 hectare to 100 over 30 years by determined father Jean-Marc. Exposed to biodynamic ideals at wine college, Julien was lucky to be taking on plots certified as organic. He continues the tradition of brilliantly expressing an enviable array of terroirs.
Chardonnay in ripe, fruity, minerally style from Auxerre's Vezelay region. A classic match for Camembert or baked ham. Julien Brocard is now managing the vineyards (many certified as organic) built up from 1 hectare to 100 by his Chablis supremo father Jean-Marc. In fact, all 3 Brocard offspring have ditched careers in banking, engineering and medicine to join the family domaine. Julien continues a tradition of expressing Brocard's enviable terroirs.
Excellent premier cru Chablis, crisp and refined, with citrusy substance and smooth creaminess. Sunday lunch chez Brocard would see this sipped alongside roast ham with parsley sauce or a ripe Camembert. Julien Brocard was fortunate to take over the running of his father's vineyards just as they were officially certified as organic. He's continuing a tradition of precisely expressing a fascinating array of terroirs.
