This week, we have received a shipment from Burgundy and would like to highlight a few Burgundy reds which I think are at fantastic values. Henri Guenard is established in 1783 and has a long history in Cote Chalonnaise, their holdings scattered Gevrey-Chambertin, Pommard, Meursault and Corton, in which they also have a few Grand Cru vineyards such as Clos de Beze, Mazis Chambertin and Latricieres Chambertin. We have selected a few of their wines including the half bottles Mazis Chambertin 2004 starting from HK$420 per 375ml. Desauney Bissey remains in low profile over the years however this small estate was caught by Wine...

Unlike many winemakers who have a family history in winemaking, Frederic Cossard's family was in the dairy industry. He was destined to take on his father's dairy company but his passion for wine led him to purchase his own domaine in 1996 after working a decade in the wine trade business, and start producing his own wine. A natural wine genius, with approximately 10 hectares of vines across several appellations, Frederic has been creating inspiring work in Burgundy ever since. He has worked organically from the outset - using natural measures without any sulfur dioxide and natural fermentation with long maceration, and has produced...

A top producer in Vosne-Romanee, Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair owns a number of the very best vineyards in the region. When Louis-Michel Liger-Belair took back control of their family-owned lands in 2000, he successfully made the Domaine into one of the top echelons in the world of Burgundy, just behind Domaine de la Romanee Conti. Most of the bottles are sold with strictly-controlled allocation to wine connoisseurs, restaurants and merchants, making it nearly impossible to find their bottles in the open market. That being said, the availability of Liger-Belair's wines is in short supply nowadays and we are delighted to present a few bottles for...

Piper Heidsieck Rare is a luxury, well-matured cuvée with a blend of mainly Chardonnay with some Pinot Noir in a beautifully designed bottle. Only produced in the best vintages, it spends 12 years aging in the bottle before release. Due to its fantastic quality, limited production (much lower than other grand marques) and the gorgeous bottle design, it is widely popular around the globe so it is not always easily found in the market - very true to its name "Rare". The latest release is Vintage 2008, which is considered to be the best vintage of the last decade. Piper Heidsieck Rare is not an exception and produced a top quality...

A small estate located in Bouzy, André Clouet lies in the heart of Grand Cru vineyards in which Pinot Noir is planted. The family-owned estate is now managed by Jean-François Clouet and they own 9 hectares of vines in Bouzy and Ambonnay, which most of these vineyards are classified in Grand Cru status and give the best ingredients of the fantastic Champagne grower and producer. André Clouet’s wines are fermented in small vats and aged in the chalky underground cellar which is under 10 meters from the ground, a cool and humid cellar which let the Champagnes to age peacefully before release. Many works...
