Wimbledon Wine Cellar: The Best Selection of Fine Wine in London
90-92, Neal Martin, October 2023. The 2022 Monthelie Les Champs Fulliots ler Cru comes from purchased fruit, although the Domaine controls the harvest, matured in less than 30% new oak. Pretty, pastille-like red and blueberry fruit on the nose, this is well-defined and comely.
Wine Safari Score: 90-92/100 Greg Sherwood MW. Classical nose of earthy savoury bramble berry fruits, Asian spices, liquorice and black berry.
Wine Safari Score: 92-94+/100 Greg Sherwood MW. A fabulous 2.12-hectare single Monopole site that yields 40 barrels in a good vintage like 2022.
90-93, Allen Meadows, Burghound. Tasted: Jan 10, 2024. An admirably discreet dollop of wood is present on the spicier broad-ranging nose of red and black pinot fruit, plum and exotic tea scents.
POA Wine Safari Score: 95-97/100 Greg Sherwood MW. A newly inherited 0.41-hectare plot yielding 6 barrels of one of the most coveted and treasured Pinot Noirs crus in Burgundy.
91-93, Neal Martin, November 2023. The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Chaliots comes from a single plot below Les Poirets. It opens with crushed strawberry and cranberry fruit, dried violets and touches of incense. It just needs a little more delineation.
90-93, Allen Meadows, Burghound. Tasted: Jan 10, 2024. Tasting note: Ripe and pretty aromas include those of red and dark currant with background whiffs of earth and forest floor.
91-93, Neal Martin, November 2023. The 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis En la Rue Vergy bides its time in the glass, opening with scents of cranberry, white-tipped strawberry and some black fruit, a deft touch of tobacco in the background.
86-89, Allen Meadows, Burghound. Tasted: Jan 10, 2024. Tasting note: A more elegant and slightly cooler nose reflects lightly spiced fruit that derives more from the red side of the spectrum.
Wine Safari Score: 90-92/100 Greg Sherwood MW. On the southern side of Gevrey, this classical wine shows blood and earthy meaty red fruits, sour plum and strawberry compote nuances.
POA 93-95, Neal Martin, November 2023. The 2022 Echezeaux Les Loachausses Grand Cru is the maiden release from a 0.38-hectare strip that hitherto was part of the cuvee produced by Gros Frere & Soeur and is matured in 100% new oak.
Wine Safari Score: 93-94+/100 Greg Sherwood MW. A serious expression from Clos de Vougeot using 100% new French oak, is packed full of graphite and smoky limestone minerality, picante bramble berry fruits and spicey black plum.
Wine Safari Score: 91-93+/100 Greg Sherwood MW. Mostly sourced from a climat called Les Argillieres (66%). The aromatics are fine and beautifully perfumed, elegantly red fruited and attractive with pink flowers, red cherry fruits and an attractive pink musk spice.
84-86, Neal Martin, November 2023. The 2022 Bourgogne Cote d'Or has a perfumed nose, maraschino cherries mixed with mulberry and a touch of orange zest. The palate is sweet on the entry, with low acidity, quite fleshy and dense.
*All prices in bond* 88-90 pts, 3 stars, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy Brisk lively purple with a much more classy pinot bouquet. Raspberry with cherry in the background and this kicks on as it should, with a generous layer of red fruit at the back of the palate. Slightly dry finish nonetheless. Drink from 2027-2030.
*All prices in bond* 87 - 89 pts 3 stars Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy Mid crimson red and paler at the rim. Not much bouquet. The fruit reappears on the palate, but a little astringent behind. Fairly typical village Aloxe. Drink from 2027-2030. Tasted: October 2023.
