Blended from 8 different parcels across the appellation, this wine gives an excellent representation of the ‘terroir’ of Puligny-Montrachet. The domaine was inherited from father Gerard Chavy 2004 & was split with brother Alain, who makes wine under his father's name. Neither overtly fruity nor over-oaked, Jean-Louis Chavy’s wines are extremely well balanced, emphasising the classic minerality of Puligny-Montrachet. A model of finesse & elegance, drink with simply flavoured grilled white fish. Alternatively, drink this pure wine by itself. ...

Renowned Chilean winery Santa Rita was founded in 1880. Medalla Real was created to celebrate Francisco García Huidobro, an ancestor of the winery’s founders. He established the first Mint in Chile & had a medal coined to commemorate his innovation. Mature vines are used to create this complex wine. Grapes are slow-ripening thanks to cool night-time temperatures, allowing concentrated flavours to develop before picking. The end result is powerful but elegant. It has intense aromas of blackcurrant, blueberry & cherry, combined with soft cedar & spice. It's supple & juicy with a long, lingering finish. Delicious with steak in pepper sauce. The 2020 vintage was awarded 90 points by Tim Atkin MW, & 90 points by James Suckling. ...

Bodega Matsu 'El Picaro' 2021/22, Toro

Much like Ribera Del Duero, the Tempranillo grape is king in the region of Toro. Since the area is not as well-known as its famous neighbour, you can find excellent wines at a lower price. The region’s vineyards strive to survive the fiercely hot, dry climate. In the right hands, hard-working vines create complex and intensely flavoured wines. El Picaro translates as 'the rogue', which perfectly sums up this vibrant, charming wine. With just two months ageing in concrete vats, you can taste its youthful freshness – there’s notes of juicy blackberry and blueberry, liquorice and sweet spice. The perfect choice for cuts of roast beef.
