There is no single wine more synonymous with Chateauneuf-du-Pape than the mighty Chateau de Beaucastel.

Many would argue that Beaucastel needs no introduction and but I would be amiss not to, lets say “refresh” your memory and bring you up to date on this iconic estate.

We have secured an allocation of the iconic Hermitage La Chapelle 2005s from Domaine Jaboulet.

 In the heart of the RhôneValley, this small chapel has become one of the world’s great historic buildings.  La Chapelle, the jewel of Maison Jaboulet, has a rich and emotive history. During the 13th century, a knight called Gaspard de Sterimberg settled in the hills of Tain l’Hermitage with the permission of Blanche de Castille. On his return from the crusades, he sought calm and serenity and isolated himself as a hermit, hence the name of the Hermitage appellation. There he built a Chapel, overlooking the RhôneValley.  La Chapelle endured the passage of time and finally became the property of Maison Paul Jaboulet Aîné in 1919.

‘Burge’s Lifetime of Expertise at Everyday Prices”

Grant Burge Wines was formed 20 years ago by winemaker Grant Burge and his wife Helen and is based at the historic Moorooroo Cellars on the banks of the famous old JacobsCreek – in the heart of Australia’s BarossaValley. 

Grant’s heritage traces back some 150 years to his great, great Grandfather John Burge who emigrated from England to make wine.  As a fifth generation winemaker Grant is absolutely committed to the BarossaValley and strongly believes that great wines are made in the vineyard.  With this in mind his biggest challenge to date has been to create great South Australian wines that fit into the “everyday drinking” category yet remain exceptional enough to proudly carry his name.  The Grant Burge GB wines exhibit the clean varietal character , fine elegance and typical intensity that Grant has built his reputation on – and at under £6.50 a bottle the value is outstanding.

  St-Cosme is one of the most sought after estates of this region and undoubtedly Louis is one of the leading lights of the new generation of Rhone winemakers; his wines are expressive, age-worthy and great value – a combination that has won over Rhone aficionados around the world. American critic Robert Parker describes the “young, talented” Barruol as a creator of the “quintessence of Gigondas”.  But Louis is also capable of making sublime wines in the Northern Rhone (his St Joseph is amazing) as well a fabulous wines in the Cotes du Rhone regions, both red and white.

We can add to our reputation of representing the greatest Spanish wines with the new releases from Spain’s most royal of winemaking estates Vega Sicilia.

What words can be conjured up to describe the wines of Vega Sicilia? These are truly special wines. But this is no modern, points-grabbing winery. Spain's first growth has history, a sense of place and, says winemaker Xavier Ausas, a willingness to adhere to time-honoured traditions. Any amount of research points to Vega Sicilia as being the undisputed king of Spanish wines.

If 2005 was defined by atypical power then 2006 is best understood as a vintage with traditional succulence and immediate appeal. Unquestionably 2006 is a very good vintage and yet, due to a very different growing season, it is one which enjoys a thoroughly different style to its predecessor. With some brilliant Meursault & Puligny-Montrachet making headlines the focus is on white wines but it is becoming clear that the red wines are winning favour across the world amongst lovers of classic Burgundy.
