Ber Street

UPDATE TO BER STREET TRADING HOURS:

The retail shop is currently closed for some much needed TLC that will need us to temporarily suspend opening hours.

The modern high street has changed considerably since we took on the site and clearly the Shabby-Wine-Warehouse vibe isn’t compatible with the high street 2.0 and we need Ber Street to reflect that.

We have some exciting plans for Ber Street and if approved I will share them with you. In the short term, we are going to retail from the Diss site and this will allow us to significantly grow the wine offering down there and continue to offer our full calendar of events in Norwich and utilise the numerous excellent restaurants and venues.

Online, subscriptions, and email offers will continue, as well as wedding and corporate orders, so in reality not much will change. For a short period we won’t have a Norwich retail site but please feel free to email shop@harperwells.com with any orders or enquiries and we’ll get back to straight away.

If calling the Norwich number 01603 451098 – please do leave a voicemail, the recording is emailed to us immediately and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

See you back on Ber Street shortly.

Chanzy

Chanzy reviewed as one of Top 25 Producers in the Cote Chalonnaise.

Christy Canterbury MW has been visiting Burgundy every year since 2004, often spending several months getting under the skin of this ancient winemaking region.

So a top 25 ranking from the 100s of exceptional producers in the region is worth a second look.

Ten years ago serving burgundy when having someone over for dinner might have been considered the norm, nowadays you’re more likely to be asked if you’re hosting angel-investors who are picking up the tab.

Drinking Chanzy is bit more like the old days; their Rully vineyards stretch for about four kilometers to where it adjoins the Mercurey vineyards. Pinot Noir is in the minority but have a beautiful liveliness to them.

Clos de Bellecriox faces gently north and is almost always the last vineyard to be picked. With record breaking temperatures affecting the region, this is a significant advantage.

The 2021 vintage has a tight structure, but retains that classic seductive mix of red and black fruits that defies its  £30 price point. As it matures it should develop nicely, we think this has lots of potential over the next five years – but it’s worth highlighting that part of the joy of Chanzy, is that it produces wines that are made to be drunk and not cellared by angel-investors.

The offer: This is to be a delightful wedding wine for one of our customers, so I’ve added a couple of extra cases on our delivery from France that will save you about £50 a case on the shelf price.
