Jean Orliac is one of the top producers in Pic Saint Loup and his wines are to be found in many of the top French restaurants. Domaine de l'Hortus is one of the standard bearers in AOC Pic St Loup. In 1979 Jean and Marie-Thérese Orliac planted some abandoned land at the foot of two dramatic cliffs, the Pic St Loup and the Montagne de l'Hortus. They also built a distinctive winery, constructed mostly of wood. Today, they now have 55 hectares of vines, split over two sites, with 43 ha red grapes and 12 ha white. The main vineyard area is near the winery, where Mourvedre grows on the hot scree slope under the Montagne de l'Hortus, whereas Grenache and Syrah are grown on a northeast-facing slope under the Pic St Loup, with a cooler microclimate. The second vineyard area is situated some 25 km away, at Clos St Jean. (6 x 75 cl)

Domaine Cordier VILLES VIGNE BLANCHE Pouilly-Fuisse
Description: This estate was founded in 1945 by Gustave Cordier, later run by Roger Cordier and now by his son, Christophe. It is Christophe's talent and passion that have given the estate its reputation as one of the finest domaines of the Maconnais. Cordier is traditionally the last to harvest in Fuisse, additionally, he trains his vines for minimal production, and therefore maximum concentration (10 to 15 hectolitres per hectare is quite common. Once in the winery, fermentation is followed by over a year in Seguin-Moreau barrels and regular batonnage. Looking around the cave one can't fail to notice the impressive, large new oak barrels in which Christophe cultivates his extraordinary wines. The result, somehow, is that the wines always have the intensity and concentration to balance this oak treatment. Christophe's desire to produce so many different versions of the same appellations reflects his belief in terroir and his desire to express it. (12 x 75 cl)

Louis Michel et Fils 1er Cru MONTEE DE TONNERRE Chablis
Description: Domaine Louis Michel is a leading family owned vineyard in Chablis with a reputation for consistently and high quality on the 45 acre estate. Up until 1970 the wines were fermented and matured in oak barrels. By 1980 the oak was discarded for stainless steel and Domaine Louis Michel is now widely recognised as the prime exponents of unoaked Chablis in the region. The soils of the area are rich with Kimmeridgian limestone that provides the character for this wine. Vinified in stainless steel tanks with no barrel ageing, the objective is to make wines which reflect the distinctiveness of the vineyards from which they are produced. A Chardonnay with aromas of candied fruit and floral hints. Minerally tight with good acidity as well as emerging rich supple fruit flavours. The finish is dry and very long reflecting the complexity of this great wine. (12 x 75 cl)

Domaine Lionnet 'Terre Brulee' Cornas
Description: Not to be confused with Jean Lionnet, especially as they are just a few hundred yards apart in the village. Under the new regime of Ludovic Izerabie and his wife Corinne, daughter of Pierre Lionnet, took over winemaking duties in 2002. The domaine consists of six different parcels of old vines but still only totals a meagre two hectares. The youngest vines are thirty five years old, the oldest 100 years old. Vinification is simple and designed to allow the wine, which is bottled unfined and unfiltered, to express its origin. There are no fancy cuvees made currently, just one very good Cornas that will win many friends. A spicy fruit driven nose has well structured tannin and long spicy finish. (12 x 75 cl)

Domaine Les Hautes Cances CUVEE TRADITION Cairanne Cotes du Rhone-Villages

Domaine Patrick Javillier CUVEE OLIGOCENE Blanc Bourgogne
Description: Based in Meursault Patrick Javillier is one of the top three wine makers in the village. He owns a little Corton-Charlemagne and a minuscule plot of Meursault Charmes, but otherwise the estate consists entirely of 'village' vineyards. However, a village wine from Javillier usually outshines a Premier Cru from most of his neighbours. These are classic Meursaults, and his Bourgogne blancs are very serious, mineral-driven wines. Available in 1.5 Litre Magnum bottles. (6 x 1.5 Litres)

Domaine Hubert Lamy 1er Cru DERRIERE CHEZ EDOUARD Blanc St Aubin
Description: The reputation of this domaine is already very high and with Olivier's youthful enthusiasm there is no doubt that these wines will be the benchmark for St. Aubin for many years to come. Additionally, he is in the process of converting the family holding of 16.5 hectares to organic viticulture . Olivier, like so many of his young peers, abhors wood flavour in his wines, but likes the gentle oxidation that fine oak brings to the wine. His solution, in common with many other thinking vignerons, is to switch from the Burgundian 225 litre 'fut' to the 500 litre 'demi muid', which originated in the Rhone valley. This greater mass of wine means that new wood can be employed without too much flavour and tannin being leached out into the wine. An elegant solution, resulting in supremely elegant wines. (12 x 75 cl)
