The Ulysse Collin wines are the ultimate growers Champagne. Made in minuscule quantities to exacting standards, each cuvee expresses the complexity of their unique terroir. Enfers, from a vineyard in the heart of Congy, is vanishingly rare, with just a handful of cases making it over to the UK each year. This bottling, based on the 2015 vintage, was disgorged after 48 months sur lie.

Coche Dury is a fabled domaine, widely accepted as the greatest address in the Cote de Beaune. Their reductive winemaking approach is imitated around the world, but Coche remains the undisputed king of this style. The late ripening 2013 vintage suits the Coche style down to the ground. A dazzling village Meursault…

Armand Rousseau is generally accepted as one of the most talented winemakers ever to have farmed the fabled vineyards of the Cote de Nuits. Today the domaine’s wines are the epitome of complex, ethereal Pinot Noir, treasured by collectors. A brilliant Burgundy vintage, this Clos de la Roche will be right at the start of its drinking window, not that anyone expects you to wait…

Lafleur is responsible for so many exceptional wines over the years, but some vintages just stand out from the crowd. The 1947 and the 1982 are two examples that have transcended to the realms of the mythical. Collectors and drinkers will go to great lengths and expense to locate these legendary wines, which represent the very pinnacle of Pomerol production. As the influential American critic, Robert Parker says, the 1982 “is off the charts in terms of the hedonistic and intellectual pleasure it gives”.

Château d'Yquem has a rich history, enjoyed by monarchs, presidents and oenophiles. For many, it is the greatest expression of botrytis cinerea (noble rot), producing haunting and complex sweet wines. 2009 is a spectacular vintage for Sauternes, especially Yquem, which has been awarded multiple 100 point scores and is described by Neal Martin as “one showstopper of a wine”!

This prized piece of history is one of the oldest Port Ellen ever to be released with only 555 bottles available. Filled in the year the Queen visited the Port Ellen maltings, this Port Ellen comes from the two very last casks of 1980 which lived all their days on Islay. One Refill American Oak Hogshead, and one ex-Sherry European Oak Butt.
