The Find: Ch*****ne Bollinger La Côte aux Enfants 2016.

A steep hillside on the outskirts of Aÿ, once divided between more than fifty owners. Jacques Bollinger spent eight years piecing it back together, between 1926 and 1934, and the Maison still owns every row.

This is its single-parcel Ch*****ne: 100% Grand Cru Pinot Noir from the north-west side of the hill, cellar-aged under natural cork for twice as long as the appellation requires. Dense, complex and quietly powerful.

A rare find, and one we are delighted to have secured. Speak to your account manager.

[95 points] for a textbook Gran Reserva.

Viña Real Gran Reserva 2019 from C.V.N.E. — one of the great classics of Rioja Alavesa, from a house that has been making w**e in Rioja since 1879.

Tempranillo with a touch of Graciano, from the estate’s own vineyards around Laguardia and Elciego, aged in barrel and then in bottle for years before release. Luis Gutiérrez of The W**e Advocate calls it “a textbook Viña Real Gran Reserva”.

Structure, depth and quiet power, with years ahead of it.

In 1976, Steven Spurrier’s now-legendary blind tasting in Paris put French w**es against California and changed the world of w**e. Fifty years on, we reimagined it — the Cru W**e way.

Our Judgement of Paris, revisited: an evening of 12 w**es across three flights, served blind over dinner, with France against the New World.

Ch*****ne went to France, with Pierre Péters Les Montjolys Blanc de Blancs 2013.
Chardonnay went to the USA — fittingly, to Chateau Montelena, the estate that took the whites in 1976.

Cabernet Sauvignon went to France, with Château Pichon Baron 2014.

Final score: France 28, the New World 16.

Great food, great company and a few surprises along the way. Join us at the next tasting — speak to your account manager.

Burgundy 2025: when a domaine picked matters as much as where.

An early, hot season brought two heatwaves, then the weather turned mid-harvest and split the picking in two. The result is a small crop of healthy, concentrated fruit, and first barrel tastings that point to freshness as well as depth.

Swipe for what the barrels show, and what it means for your collection.

Our full view on Burgundy 2025 arrives in Market Notes on 19/11/26. Join via the link in bio.

A classic Rioja, poured generously.

Viña Ardanza Reserva 2019 from La Rioja Alta — now in magnum, and made for the festive table.

Tempranillo and Garnacha, patiently aged in American oak. The 2019 is juicy and fleshy, a touch less spiced than previous vintages and brighter in fruit. Already a real pleasure to drink, with years ahead of it still.

As our Managing Director, Andrea Morino, puts it: “in magnum, simply sublime.”

A night for something dark in the glass.

Two bottles from our current releases, chosen for a candlelit Halloween in. La Rioja Alta’s Viña Ardanza Reserva 2019 in magnum — the format made for a full table of guests. And Gaja’s Conteisa 2009, from the Cerequio cru in La Morra, deep, brooding and ready to pour.

Both are available to reserve. Speak to your account manager, or explore the releases via the link in bio.

Happy Halloween.

A SMALL HARVEST, AND THE WINES TO OPEN NOW 🍷

France’s 2026 harvest is expected to be the smallest of the century, while mature Bordeaux is attracting renewed interest from collectors. The fine w**e market is also showing early signs of stabilisation.

Mature Bordeaux is back in focus. Older vintages are gaining interest as available stocks become scarcer.

A challenging harvest. Heat and drought have affected yields across France, keeping production below recent averages.

A steadier market. The Liv-ex Fine W**e 100 rose by 1.1% in September, although a broader recovery remains uncertain.

For collectors, provenance, availability and drinking windows remain key considerations.

Swipe through our Monday Brief for the latest insights. Read the full reports via the link in our bio.

Sharing Is Caring: An Evening of Great W**es at 67 Pall Mall

Great w**es can taste better when shared.

Sharing great w**e is about more than what’s in the glass.

At our evening at 67 Pall Mall, exceptional bottles brought together old friends, new faces, and plenty of conversation. From Roger Winston Churchill 2015 and Buisson-Charles Meursault Vieilles Vignes 2023 to Château Lynch-Bages 2005 and Château Mouton Rothschild 2015, every bottle gave us something to talk about, discover and enjoy.

But the real pleasure was sharing them.

W**e brings different experiences and perspectives to the table. A favorite vintage, a first taste, a story from a visit to an estate, or simply a conversation that carries on long after the bottle is opened.

At Cru W**e, that is what we want to create: opportunities to taste, learn, discover and enjoy great w**e together.

Because however rare the w**e, it is usually better when it is shared.

Sharing is caring. Especially when there is Mouton, Lynch-Bages and Yquem on the table.

A closer look at 2011 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc.

From Pessac-Léognan, this Grand Cru Classé de Graves is a blend of 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Sémillon, fermented in barrel and aged for 18 months.

The estate's notes describe fresh citrus and white peach, alongside flinty and mineral nuances. On the palate, richness is balanced by acidity and freshness, with a precise, long finish.

The 2011 vintage received 99 points from James Suckling, while W**e Enthusiast rated it 95–97 points and W**e Spectator 91–94 points, both as barrel-sample assessments.

A beautiful example of the depth and complexity of mature white Bordeaux.

Some bottles carry a sense of occasion long before they’re opened. Krug 1996 is one of those w**es, with a vintage that continues to hold a special place among Ch*****ne lovers.

Born from a year of extraordinary contrasts in Ch*****ne, the 1996 vintage is known for its freshness, balance and remarkable character. Krug 1996 is a blend of 48% Pinot Noir, 31% Chardonnay and 21% Meunier, capturing the distinctive expression of the vintage.

In the glass, its radiant golden colour leads into mature aromas, followed by layers of fresh pear, candied lemon, ripe summer fruit, honey, gingerbread and delicate mocha. The palate is firm and expressive, balancing richness with freshness.

It is also a particularly significant vintage for the House of Krug. 1996 was the last Krug Vintage crafted by three generations of the Krug family working together.

A Ch*****ne with intensity, precision and remarkable longevity, Krug 1996 is a reminder of just how compelling a great vintage can become with time.
