Villa Maria Ngakirikiri 2018
The Gimblett Gravels appellation is often touted as being one of the finest regions in the world for top quality Cabernet Sauvignon outside of Bordeaux, with a reputation for beautiful and thought-provoking wines. Leading the pack is undoubtedly Ngakirikiri, with eye-watering scores you would expect from very serious classed growths and an annual production to rival the most exclusive chateaux of Pomerol (only 230 cases were made in 2018!). .
Volnay Premier Cru 'Clos des Chênes', Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard 2020
Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard is new to our offering this year and what a year to bring them in. This Domaine that covers a huge range of villages specialises in whites and over the past decade have raised their stock exponentially. With high acclaim from the 2014 and 2017 vintages, the 2020 has once again suited their style. The wines have a clear purity and minerality as well as a lovely weight and richness of fruit. The focus and precision is what makes them really stand out and with Celine Fontaine and her husband Fred Robert (formerly of Armand Rousseau) at the helm, you best keep a close eye on how high this Domaine will climb!
