Château Argadens - Private Cellar House Claret
From Maison Sichel, owners of Châteaux Angludet and Palmer, Private Cellar’s House Claret is far from a generic blend made to a recipe, as so many house wines are. Our House Claret is instead made and bottled at Château Argadens, 60km
... MoreChâteau La Connivence, Pomerol
Given the size of the Pomerol appellation, it is very rare that a bright new star emerges from the wings rather than an older property being rediscovered, yet in 2008 this is precisely what happened with Château La Connivence. We are proud to be the exclusive UK importers - this really is an insider's wine.
... MoreChâteau Picque Caillou

Domaine Baptiste Guyot
Domaine Baptiste Guyot is in the former farm of the Abbaye Saint-Martin, in the western part of Beaune on the border between the city and the vineyards. Our MW Nicola Arcedeckne-Butler described visiting the setting as experiencing a form of Narnia “you leave an urban street and arrive in a one-hectare vineyard, butted up to more vineyards on the hills above - it is quite discombobulating”.

Domaine Faiveley as we know it today was founded by Pierre Faiveley as a merchant business in Nuits St Georges in 1825, named after his then two year old son Joseph.

The Chartron family, in their own words, are “hommes de terroir”, and more specifically the terroir of Puligny-Montrachet. Inextricably linked to this small village in the southern tip of the Côte de Beaune, it was one of Jean-Michel and Anne-Laure’s forebears, as Mayor of Puligny, who managed to get permission to add the area's most prestigious vineyard to the village’s name, becoming Puligny-Montrachet.

Jean-Pierre Truchetet has been handing the baton over to children Morgan and Julie for some time and in 2018 he took full retirement, leaving the next generation in charge.
... MoreFamille Vincent
Under Napoleonic inheritance rules which split properties down strict, legal lines, inevitably many families have distant cousins with a few rows of vines here and there and absolutely no interest in either looking after them or harvesting the fruit. To counter this, the Vincent family of Château Fuissé look after their family's vineyards for them, so that the wines can be made and sold on their behalf.

Château Bellini
Château Bellini is the brainchild of Tom Bove, the American engineer and businessman–turned–wine producer, who seems to have a gilded touch with his vineyards and properties. His first, Miraval, was famously bought by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, whilst his second, La Mascaronne, was bought by Château cos d’Estournel just last year; luckily he has kept hold of Château Bellini and is still working his magic there.

It remains one of the world’s finest Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated blends.”

It is said that the moment Enrique Foster first tasted an Argentinian Malbec, he hopped on a plane to Mendoza with the intention of producing the best Malbec Argentina could offer with the purest expression of the grape possible.

... MoreRijk's Estate
The Rijk's Farm journey began in 1996 when Neville Dorrington and his family decided to move the countryside (having previously lived and worked in Cape Town) to grow and make wine. They fell in love with the Tulbagh valley and came across 137 hectares of land with soils that had never been planted to vines. The slopes faced north, south, east and west and the analysis of the vertical shale soils revealed the potential for low yielding, high-quality grapes. The offer to purchase was accepted and the Rijk's farm was founded. Today, the estate is home to the vineyard, a school and their hotel and restaurant
... MoreWO Springfontein Ridge: Springfontein
The story of Springfontein (“Jumping Spring”) reads much like something out of a novel. Dr Johst Weber, a former mining engineer in the Ruhr Valley and a Bordeaux fanatic, went to South Africa in search of a new venture and a wine estate. Rumours were circulating about a farm that might be for sale outside Stanford – not a well-known wine growing area – close to the estates in Hemel-en-Aarde that had already begun to make a name for themselves. Turning up at the farm, Johst found a couple of cows, a few goats and a solitary old man. More importantly however, there was a healthy spring, a limestone ridge and lots of potential for viticulture.

Owning no vineyards of their own, Aristea has joined the band of elite producers who buy only the best fruit from top producers in order to make a very limited production. We consider ourselves extremely lucky to be their UK agent.

Domaine Allimant-Laugner
This vineyard is the product of a proud and rich family history. The origins of the domain begin with two families who have been cultivating the vines since the 17th Century - the Laugners in the village of Dieffenthal and the Allimants in Saint-Hippolyte. In 1816, captain François-Antoine Allimant bought more vines on the Haut-Koenigsbourg hills and a structure from 1664 in the village of Orschwiller, which remains the current property of the domain.
