Argiolas began in 1918, when Francesco Argiolas started from scratch and planted the first vineyard with the assistance of some prisoners of war. Now three generations of the family are present together: the patriarch Antonio, his two sons and his grandchildren. The Argiolas owned vineyards at Turriga, in the Selegas area, near Piscina Trigus supply all the grapes for this fantastic wine. Argiolas consider this their best and most worthwhile of all our vineyards, at an altitude of approximately 230 metres above sea level the exposition is truly excellent. As soon as the so-called 'Finissage' fermentation is complete, which occurs immediately after the malo-lactic stage, the wine is stored in new, French oak casks for approximately 18 months, during which three passages and one collage are carried out. After ageing in wood, the wine is immediately bottled in order to enhance the development of the wines bouquet. Due to ageing in new oak this wine is a Dark, but intense, ruby red colour, while the bouquet is full-bodied and elegant. The palate is well-rounded, heavy with an extremely individual and pleasing structure that is complemented by the refined tannins and vanilla-oak flavours. Very limited availability. (6 x 75 cl)

Jean-Claude Boisset Gevrey Chambertin AC
Description: This Gevrey-Chambertin from Jean-Claude Boisset is made using fruit from old vines, primarily from two Premier Cru vineyards in Gevrey. Boisset used tobuy wine from the grower who owns the Crepiot vineyard, but since Gregory's arrival they buy grapes instead. In addition, Gregory has worked closely with the grower to improve the quality of the fruit arriving at the winery. This quality shines through in the finished wine, which has lovely black cherry fruit giving way to a minerally yet luscious character on the palate. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £131.30
