Even if you do not know Marc Soyard, you must know Domaine Bizot if you consider yourself to be a Burgundy lover at all! Marc Soyard is a talented winemaker and worked as an apprentice for Jean-Yves Bizot for 6 years at Domaine Bizot. During the apprenticeship, Marc learned all the skills and about minimal intervention and the philosophy of natural cultivation and vinification - applying biodynamic methods in the vineyard, using natural yeasts and limited sulphur in the vinification process, and also experimenting with various combinations of oak and metal. When the city of Dijon purchased 160ha of land in...

The Noellat family has a very long history in Vosne-Romanee in which the two brothers, Charles and Ernest, were the main players in the family in the early twentieth century. Charles Noellat’s daughter Odile Noellat married Alain Hudelot later to form Hudelot-Noellat. Charles Noellat died in 1930s and because the domaine owns a few beautiful vineyards such as Richebourg and Romanee-St-Vivant, it attracted Madame Lalou Bize-Leroy to sell one-third of interest of Domaine Leroy to Japan's Takashimaya in order to secure funds to purchase Domaine Charles Noellat in 1988 - a move that has led to the global success of...

One of our constant favourites of Chardonnay producers from Burgundy and for many others around the world too, Domaine Leflaive has been an eminent winemaker in the world of wines which has been continuously producing astounding Chardonnay from Puligny-Montrachet for many decades. Madame Anne-Claude Leflaive built a strong reputation for the label under her careful and special attention in the vineyard, making some of the most fruit-forward and terroir-expressive wines that are worthy to be added to every wine collector's cellar since taking over from her father in 1994. Sadly Anne-Claude passed away in 2015 and Brice de La Morandiere's,...

Another exciting opportunity for Champagne lovers! We have access to an old Champagne cellar in France which includes many bubbly gems and some extremely rare Champagne like Charles Heidsieck Brut Millesime 1985, Tarlant Prestige Brut Rose 1997, Henri Giraud Fut de Chene 1993 and Lanson Noble Cuvee! These hadn't undergone malolactic fermentation to retain it’s crispy acidity so they would have developed very well with age and all of these were aged under ideal conditions in the cellar, so there's definitely a lot to expect! Photos will be available on request. Check out the list below! ETA 6-8 weeks -...

Having worked in his father’s vineyard since 1991, Denis Mortet set up his domaine under his own name and quickly made a name for himself as he was a perfectionist who put a lot of care and effort from vines to wines. The wines he produced were some of the most charming and elegant styles in Gevrey-Chambertin. Sadly, his life ended short in January 2006 and the domaine is currently managed by his son Arnaud who continues Denis' legacy with the same approaches from vine to cellar thus delivering equally beautiful and elegant wines just like his father. Denis Mortet...
