A minute 1.56-hectare plot nestled in an idyllic valley just west of Pernand-Vergelesses village lying just underneath Corton-Charlemagne.

Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2019 | £15.99
Grapes taken from across the region and in our view, one of the best value Bourgogne Pinot Noir's on the market.

"Charming nose packed full of summer berry fruit, some black fruit with fused oak and minerality. Wonderful harmony on the palate with a lovely marriage between fruit, spice, fresh acidity and minerality. Good structure with a core of black fruit that flows onto a generous finish with soft, silky tannins."
Volnay 'Vielles Vignes' 2016 | £34.99
A 0.34-hectare plot planted 50-year-old 'Vieilles Vignes' (old vines). Aged 15 months in barrel, this delightful old vine Pinot Noir is bright and vibrant, yet retains the classic structure and depth you would expect from Volnay.
"Attractive aromas of black cherry and black plum with underlying hints of savoury spice. Classic Volnay on the mid-palate with impressive structure and depth, supported by ripe, firm yet integrated tannins and fruit purity. Abundance of dark black fruit fuse with an umami-tinged finish."
Beaune 1er Cru 'Clos du Roi' 2016 | £34.99
A minute 0.48-hectare plot situated to the north of the appellation, and is without doubt one of the best vineyards in Beaune worthy of its Premier Cru status. Revered by the by the dukes of Burgundy, from which the parcel takes its name.
