Burgundy can be… a lot. Villages. Vineyards. Clima Burgundy can be… a lot. Villages. Vineyards. Climats. Crus. Prices that occasionally require a small lie-down. Which is why days like this are such a treat.

Richard Nunn has spent 35+ years getting under the skin of Burgundy and today he brought rather a lot of it to our tasting table from @champagnesandchateaux We tasted. We scribbled. We went back. We argued our favourites. We went back again. Hard work, obviously.

And goodness, we found some corkers.

Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with that almost impossible Burgundian trick of being complex but completely effortless to drink. Balance. Precision. Proper sense of place. Wines where you stop analysing quite so much because, frankly, you’re too busy enjoying them.

Some absolutely impeccable new bottles will be making their way onto the Vineyards shelves very soon.

Burgundy needn’t be intimidating. You just need someone to taste an awful lot of it first.

Consider it done! 🍷

VERY LIMITED @ridgevineyards wines available🍷 Our VERY LIMITED @ridgevineyards wines available🍷 
Our mailing list has had a 24-hour head start. Now we’re opening the doors on what’s left. And when we say limited, we really do mean it!

We’ve been lucky enough to receive another small allocation from the legendary Ridge Vineyards – fiercely sought-after Californian wines that certainly aren’t handed out to every merchant who asks nicely.

Two new releases. A precious few bottles remaining.

RIDGE ESTATE CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2023
Monte Bello Vineyard, Santa Cruz Mountains
£90 p/btl

Monte Bello pedigree without quite the Monte Bello wait. Blackberry, mint and toasty oak; bright mountain freshness, polished tannins and a long, classical finish. Easily a decade of beautiful drinking ahead.

RIDGE GEYSERVILLE VINEYARDS 2024
Alexander Valley
£65 p/btl

A California icon from remarkable old-vine vineyards, some more than 125 years old. Raspberry, black cherry, liquorice, vanilla and nutmeg; layered, spicy and built to age.

95–97 points – Vinous

Fancy trying your luck?

DM us with what you’d like and how many bottles. We’ll confirm orders in the order they land, while our remaining allocation lasts.

Once our bit of Ridge is gone, it’s gone🍷
