Henri Giraud is a prestigious and the oldest Champagne house that is still owned by its founding family - the Giraud-Hémart family - who has farmed vines at Aÿ since 1625, and well known for producing rich, extensive and powerful wine. However, it is only since current head Claude Giraud took over that the wines have been released under the family name. The real treasure of Henri Giraud is their perpetual reserve, which dates back to 1990. This solera type reserve is normally used to add richness and complexity to younger wines, in turn adding intensity and depth to Henri Giraud's other cuvées. It is the...

Having grown up in Alsace with a passion for wine and photography, Vincent Dancer was originally studying to become an engineer, but after spending some time in Burgundy, he decided to settle in Chassagne-Montrachet and make wine from his family-owned vineyards. Only 5 hectares which is relatively small even by Burgundy standards, the vineyards are very well-situated. Vincent took over the domaine in 1996 and bottled his very first vintage in 2003 and was the first producer in Chassagne to become certified organic. Despite being rather low-key, Vincent's wines have become well known to restaurateurs and wine-lovers in the region over the years, known to truly reflect...

The story began when a giant building contractor, Joseph Phelps invested in vineyards in the Napa Valley and decided to move to Napa Valley from Colorado in the 1970s. In 1974, Joseph Phelps and his winemaker Walter Schugg produced the first vintage of Joseph Phelps Insignia, which was one of the first Bordeaux blends in California at the time and now become one of the legendary wines in Napa Valley. Joseph Phelps also produces a house style Bordeaux which remains at an affordable price and is able to be enjoyed when young – the Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon. Unlike many other producers in...

After a successful campaign of Jean Tardy's Echezeaux Les Tres Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru 2005  in 2 weeks ago, we are lucky to be able to source an original case from an outstanding vintage again!  A traditional and small domaine with just 5.5ha of vineyards, Jean Tardy owns a fascinating plot of Les Tres in Echezeaux Grand Cru, a comparatively premier plot adjacent to the Grand-Echezeaux, I find this is a fantastic option to consider today. The domaine is run by Guillaume Tardy and for him, Vintage 2010 is a success in which he describes it as a "cool vintage that achieved remarkably good phenolic ripeness" .Again,...
