Wimbledon Wine Cellar: The Best Selection of Fine Wine in London
*All prices in bond* 93-95 pts 4 Stars, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy This is still in barrel, unracked. Pale primrose, the bouquet is less easy to discern at this stage, with a minor oxidative note and some reduction. Put that to one side.
*All prices in bond* 87-89 pts 4 stars Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy A similar colour, pale primrose perhaps. A little bit crisper and more classic in bouquet. Delicious white fruit, very balanced, feel the limestone, enough flesh yet with precision as well. A longer and more mineral finish than Forgets.
*All prices in bond* 88 - 90 pts, 3 Stars, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy Pale lemon colour. Not much nose in these small glasses. There is good tension here on the palate, a crisp lemon note along with some fresh apples. Not immediately intense but with good length. A little touch of the positive youthful bitters.
*All prices in bond* 86 - 88 3 Stars, Jasper Morris, MW, Inside Burgundy Mid lemon and lime, restrained nose. A little bit of honeysuckle and musk here, but a significant concentration of fruit on the palate, with a density of texture. Plenty of wine to work with here. Drink from 2024-2027. Tasted: October 2023.
This wine is mineral driven, with slight floral notes and a steely crisp acidity which makes you want to go back for more. A classic and classy Chablis, showcasing the mineral terroir beautifully with notes of flint stone and fleshy fruits lingering on the palate. A wine that goes well with Burgundy snails, Chablis sausage and seafood.
A powerful nose with floral and fruity aromas of passionfruit and orange. There is an elegant balance between freshness and structure.
The grapes are grown on predominantly siliceous soils. All vineyard processes are carried out in an environmentally friendly manner, adapted to each terroir.
*Prices in Bond* Piercingly fresh, intense aromatics reveals hints of sweet pear, apple purée, white blossom, and seductive honeysuckle. On the palate, the freshness and vibrant white citrus fruits melt into a pithy, stony, briney saline liquid minerality.
*Prices in Bond* This cuvee spends 12 months in oak and then three and a half months on its fine lees in tank. The aromatics show a dusty limestone minerality with pithy green pear, hints of buttered white toast and yellow grapefruit confit.

Apostolos Thymiopoulos, one of Greece’s most exciting young winemakers, is considered an absolute expert on Xinomavro and on the Naoussa terroir, the region the grape is indigenous of. His Rosé de Xinomavro is, quite possibly, one of the best Rosés you’ll ever drink and a favourite of sommeliers and critics worldwide.
“The essence of the best Rosé wines is their unmistakable drinkability, persistent freshness and light touch concentration. A wine you cannot say no to!
