Domaine Michèle & Patrice Rion's Vosne-Romanée is a quintessential expression of Burgundy's prestigious terroir, known for its elegance and complexity. This wine seduces the senses with its fragrant bouquet of red cherries, blackberries, and violets, intertwined with subtle notes of earth, spice, and a hint of oak.

Crafted with meticulous care and respect for traditional winemaking methods, this Vosne-Romanée exemplifies the finesse and depth that make Burgundy wines so revered.

DOMAINE HENRI MAGNIEN Estournelles St-Jacques 1er cru, Gevrey-Chambertin

Burgundy royalty with an Aussie twist. From famed winemaker Jean-Marie Fourrier — protégé of Henri Jayer and now owner of Bass Phillip — this Bourgogne Rouge comes from 1963-planted vines between Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. Red cherry, rose petal and forest floor meet silky tannins and lifted Pinot energy.

Many class Ata Rangi as the quintessential 'New World' Pinot Noir, the best example of the variety outside of Burgundy. It's hard to argue when you let the supple, dark berry and spiced fruit pass your lips. Considered 'Grand Cru' in New Zealand, Ata Rangi was awarded the inaugural Tipuranga Teitei o Aotearoa classification, cementing its pedigree.

Charmes-Chambertin reveals an attractive deep ruby red hue and rich nose disclosing a variety of small red fruits, spice and flowers. This indulgent yet very elegant wine offers silky smooth tannins although it requires a few years in the bottle before it reaches its full potential. Based in Nuits-St-Georges, the famous Domaine Faiveley was founded in 1825 and in more recent times, the domaine has greatly expanded its vineyards across the entire Côte d'Or. The grapes are entirely destemmed and fermented in a mix of new wooden vats for the top end wines and stainless steel for the lesser cuvees. Once notorious for being fairly austere, there has been less emphasis on extraction over the last ten years and the wines show increased freshness, purity of fruit and more judicious use of oak. A contender for one of the most improved domaines in Burgundy over the last decade.
