Country: France, BurgundyGrapes: ChardonnayABV: 12.5%Style: Classy Complex WhiteThe Sylvain Mosnier Chablis 1er Cru Beauroy is a classic example of Chablis. The Beauroy site, designated as a Premier Cru ‘climat,’ features limestone-rich soils that produce fresh, clean, and mineral-rich wines.

Country: France, BurgundyGrapes: ChardonnayABV: 13.5%Style: Classy Complex WhiteThe Meursault Premier Cru of Genevrieres is one of Meursault’s greatest sites with some critics arguing that its wines can be of Grand Cru quality when made by producers as fine as Jean Monnier. Facing southeast on the slope of Burgundy’s limestone escarpment, Genevrieres benefits from morning sun throughout the growing season which gives the wines an extra degree of weight and intensity. Domaine Monnier’s Meursault Genevrieres 2022 was produced from low-yielding old vines and is a perfect refle -

Country: France, BurgundyGrapes: Pinot NoirABV: 13.5%Style: Savoury Classic RedIf you have so much as a vague interest in red Burgundy, then this is a must-try wine. The 2020 vintage was as challenging as it was exceptional and Vincent’s obsessive attention to detail came into its own. He deliberately kept his hand-tended Pinot Noir vines’ yields low, boosting the concentration and structure of this classic year still further. The downside to this was he wasn’t able to produce much wine, but what he has created is of memorable quality. Taste Still deep red, the Vincent PruRegular Price£76.95Summer Sale- Save 20%£61.56 -

Champeaux is the northernmost Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru vineyard. Its rocky limestone and clay soils are nutrient-poor and free draining which makes it ideal for growing Pinot Noir. The vineyard faces east which means vines are exposed to morning sunshine but shaded in the afternoon. This, and the soils, gives wines of great structure and longevity. The glorious 2022 vintage imparted an -
