small parcels winter 2021 Every season we supplement our lists with a handful of carefully selected fine, rare or unique bottles from our fine wine reserves and trusted suppliers. We never buy more than a case or two of these wines at a time, and when they're gone they're gone… SPARKLING & WHITE Breaky Bottom 'Cuvée Koizumi Yakumo', South Downs, England 2010 £79 Seyval Blanc Peter Hall was a pioneer of the English wine scene, planting six acres of vines in the South Downs, a stones throw from the Channel. He was one of the first to clock the potential of Seyval Blanc in our uniquely challenging climate and his single vintage Seyval is a glorious - mixing pure green apple and lime with richer toast character. Montlouis 'Remus', Domaine de la Taille aux Loups, Loire, France 2016 £48 Chenin Blanc Iconic, premium quality Chenin Blanc from the lesser-known Montlouis appellation, for many years in the shadow of its grander neighbour Vouvray. Clean, crisp yellow peach and mandarin notes with a steely acidity and flinty finish. Domaine de Villaine Bouzeron, Burgundy, France 2018 £49 Aligoté The 'other' white Burgundy grape - often overlooked, but this is a stunner from the co-director of the iconic Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. Flinty, textured, fresh and long - a great alternative to Chablis. 2018 was a warm year so brings additional roundness to the party. Condrieu La Combe de Malleval, Domaine Ogier, Rhône, France 2016 £65 Viognier Textbook Condrieu - ripe apricot and peach, honey and blossom, with bags of texture and weight. Pure indulgence from the Ogiers, a domaine at the top of their game. Terre Alte, Livio Felluga, Friuli, Italy 2016 £70 Sauvignon Blanc | Pinot Blanc | Friulano One of Italy's most prestigious white wines, first produced in 1981, this is exotic, intense and extremely complex. Definitely one to try. RED Château Cambon la Pelouse, Haut-Medoc, Bordeaux, France 2016 £47 Merlot | Cabernet Sauvignon | Petit Verdot Located right on the border with Margaux, Cambon make classic left-bank Bordeaux - medium-weighted, food- friendly wines that benefit from an added touch of Petit Verdot for structure and inky dark fruit. Château L'Arrosée, Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, France 2005 £70 Merlot | Cabernet Franc | Cabernet Sauvignon Floral, earthy and crisp red fruit - this has more than a few similarities with Burgundian Pinot Noir, rather than the big, punchy wines that many made in Bordeaux in 2005. Soft tannins and nicely rounded, L'Arrosée is often great value. Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste, 5ème Cru Classé, Pauillac, France 2005 £135 Cabernet Sauvignon | Merlot Grand-Puy-Lacoste are going from strength to strength, producing classic Pauillac - all about ripe, deep blackcurrant character, cigar box complexity and Pauillac grip and power. Top notch claret. Organic, biodynamic or sustainably produced wine All wines and vintages subject to availability.

(125ml) (175ml) Montlouis 'Remus', Domaine de la Taille aux Loups, Loire, France 2016 £9 £14 Chenin Blanc Iconic, premium quality Chenin Blanc from the lesser-known Montlouis appellation, for many years in the shadow of its grander neighbour Vouvray. Clean, crisp yellow peach and mandarin notes with a steely acidity and flinty finish. Chablis 1er Cru 'Beauroy', Laurent Tribut, Burgundy, France 2017 £11 £16 Chardonnay Laurent Tribut is the son-in-law of Chablis icon Rene Dauvissat and for many years his wines were made in Dauvissat's cellars. Traditional in style, with old oak used for texture but not flavour - wonderfully round, ripe fruit but with that classic Chablis salty mineral streak that keeps it all in balanced. Stunning. Chardonnay, Rhys Vineyards, Anderson Valley, California, USA 2014 £16 £22 Chardonnay From the cooler, higher altitude Anderson Valley, this is the polar opposite of the overripe Californian Chardonnay stereotype - this is superbly mineral, fresh and long, and rival to many a Burgundian name.

A dash of Merlot mellows out Sangiovese's edges. Côte Rôtie Ampodium, Domaine René Rostaing, Rhône, France 2012 £15 £21 Syrah Classic Côte Rôtie from one of the great masters of the region. Rostaing avoids new oak flavours, instead letting the Syrah shine through - this is all about wild blackberry, olive and smoked meat, with fine tannins and texture. Réserve de la Comtesse, 2ème Cru, Pauillac, France 2010 £19 £25 Cabernet Sauvignon | Merlot The second wine of Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande (surely the longest Château name in Bordeaux?) is always reliable, delivering plenty of ripe blackcurrant and plum character with a firm, steely backbone.
