A cult wine from the irrepressible Gabrio Bini, a trained architect from Milan who says he spent his whole life trying to be anonymous, but who, despite himself, has entered the legend with his wine. We can vouch for the second part at least, as the hugely aromatic Bianco is the perfect rare gem to pull out for an occasion.

De Nicolay sourced his grapes from Savigny-lès-Beaune, an appellation known for producing more powerful and robust versions of this lighter-bodied variety, and the 2018 vintage certainly has the deep cherry colour and characteristic notes of subtle spice and leather on the nose typical of the region.

Here we have a second bottle from François de Nicolay, which is all about sourcing organically farmed grapes from choice locations around Burgundy. It’s also an unimpeachable classic, a Chardonnay grown in the region of Côte de Beaune, reputed for having the finest Chardonnays anywhere around.

There is no category of celebration that we would not wish to feature a bottle of Xarel·lo Xpressió. Its intense honey flavour makes it perfect for dessert or, frankly, anything heading towards breakfast. Among other details, the winemaker at Clos Lentiscus, Manel Avinyó, refers to himself as the #BubbleMan.
