Wimbledon Wine Cellar: The Best Selection of Fine Wine in London
These vines are located at an altitude of around 250 m at the foot of the Corton hill. The slope is gentle and faces south in Les Chagnots, and south-east in Les Chaillots and Les Vris. Vines planted on fertile, well-drained soil which encourages early ripening of the grapes.
*PRICES IN BOND*
Last 2 vintages have scored 17.5 and 18+ from Jancis Robinson.
Tasting Note: Its colour is a deep ruby red, showing garnet reflections while young. With its predominately berry-fruit bouquet, this wine shows the full aromatic power of these two noble grape varieties whilst retaining the freshness imparted by well-controlled wine making.
Bruno Desaunay's style is classic, rich and fuller in style as this is very much declassified Vosne Romanee.
#pinotnoir
This multi-vintage wine has a dark ruby red colour. The nose is elegant with a charming bouquet of juicy berries, dark cherries and plums. The toasty aromas following extended maturation in oak are well integrated. On the palate, the wine has a well-balanced tannic structure and a silky texture.
*All prices in bond* 88-90 Points Jasper Morris inside Burgundy. Mid red crimson, the nose is altogether more rustic, being served after the Ile de Vergelesses. Rugby man shoulders to this but the tannins are not ugly and the wine finishes well.
*All prices in bond* 89-91 Points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. A lighter purple colour with quite a refined floral pinot nose. This upper hillside vineyard stays fresh yet has added weight with global warming. The fresh limestone feel is well supported by red fruit, with attractive persistence.
*DUTY PAID* Score: 88-90 points, Jasper Morris for Inside Burgundy and 89 - 91 Points, Neal Martin for Vinous.
