Prestige of French Wines

The Prestige case is our chance to showcase the heavy hitters of our portfolio. It’s a box of “long finishes” and complex layers, from the “mouthwatering” citrus of Château Carbonnieux to the silky, earth-touched Pinot Noir of Róisín Curley’s Beaune. We’ve included the bold, smoky Syrah of Domaine Verzier – fresh off a 97-point win – and the velvet-textured 2016 Château d’Aiguilhe, which is drinking beautifully right now. Whether you’re celebrating or simply stocking the cellar with icons, these wines represent the very best of what we do.

The case includes:

Domaine du Colombier, “Bougros”, Grand Cru Chablis, 2023

Fine mineral aromas with citrus and stone fruit notes. On the palate there is a depth of flavour expected of a grand cru, supported by fresh acidity and a mineral core. Very long finish.

• 100% Chardonnay

Domaine Remy Gresser, “Wiebelsberg” Grand Cru Riesling, 2021

Elegance and finesse characterise this wine. The nose is floral and the mouth delicate. The long persistence is supported by the characteristic minerality of the Vosges sandstone.

• 100% Riesling
• Organically & Biodynamically farmed
• Indigenous yeasts
• Aged on fine lees in oak barrels

Château Carbonnieux, Blanc, 2021

“Mouthwatering and vibrant, zingy and intense on the palate with the shot of lemon and lime juice, creamy peach and apricot and touch of spiced vanilla on the finish. Long and satisfying still with energy and precision all the way through.”-Decanter

• Decanter 91/100
• 12 months on its lees
• Blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon

Róisín Curley, Beaune “Les Prevoles”, 2022

This elegant wine showcases an array of dark fruits, complemented by hints of fresh earth and subtle spice. Medium-bodied with a silky, smooth texture. This wine is made with 30% whole bunch fermentation, to add floral characters and increases the perception of brightness and fruit flavours.

• Aged 2 years in old oak

Domaine Verzier, St Joseph “Empreintes”, 2022

“Thoroughly engaging with masses of enticing dark fruit underscored by a flourish of minty herbals.Muscular and broad-shouldered with a fluency of fibrous tannins, a tang of lip-smacking acidity and a gorgeous smoky violet finish.”–Decanter

• 97/100 and Platinum medal – Decanter World Wine Awards 2024
• 100% Syrah
• Aged into 500l. demi-muids for a year

Château d’Aiguilhe, 2016

This wine offers remarkable depth, featuring a rich and intricate aroma of plums and damsons. It reveals delightful layers of licorice and tobacco, complemented by a smooth, velvety texture and finely balanced tannins. The finish is long and gratifying.

• J. Suckling | 93-94/100 Pts
• Vinous Neal Martin | 91-93/100 Pts
• Blend of Merlot (90%) and Cabernet Franc (10%)
