Welcome to our January Sale, which is now in its closing stages. Hundreds of the original and added listings have now sold out.

We have now made our final update to the sale, adding hundreds of new and further reduced wines. These are marked as Added to Sale and Final Reductions.

There are over 1,000 wines remaining in the sale, offered at bargain prices. More than two thirds of these are impeccably stored mature wines that come from our customer reserves and are being offered by us on a commission sale basis on behalf of our vendors. In addition to this, we have been actively buying some exceptionally well-priced parcels from Bordeaux merchants that now offer our customers terrific value for money. 

As usual the wines are divided into two categories: firstly those of perfect appearance. There are some huge reductions here, with some wines offered at half price, but you’ll need to be quick to grab those at the biggest discounts. Secondly there are those which have minor imperfections to packaging or labels, neither of which affect the quality of the wine and where you can find some spectacular bargains.

Red Bordeaux

2019 Petit Mouton - Reduced from £1,100 to £770 per 6. This second wine of a first growth is now a third off in a great vintage. Petit Mouton 2019 is already drinking very well and has a host of high scores including 97 from James Suckling, and 94 from Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Jane Anson and Antonio Galloni. 

2020 Griffons de Pichon Baron - Reduced from £200 to £180 per 6. Another second label with real pedigree, Les Griffons is a serious, Cabernet-led wine that offers a similar profile to the grand vin in a more approachable and affordable guise. The 2020 here is terrific value for money, and though you can drink it now it will continue to improve in bottle.

2021 La Chenade - Reduced from £156 to £135 per 12. The Durantous' smaller wines invariably offer terrific value for money, and this 2021 La Chenade is no exception. Crunchy, bright and ready to drink, you can have this wine on the table for less than £20 a bottle. 91 points from Jane Anson, 90 from Yohan Castaing and 91 from Antonio Galloni. 

2019 Haut Batailley - Reduced from £420 to £370 per 12/£185 per 6. Just the third vintage made by the Cazes family since their takeover of this Pauillac property in 2017, the added power, depth and ripeness to this wine has yielded a host of excellent scores including 95 points from Neal Martin - "classic in style, very well balanced with wonderful tension. It fans out effortlessly on the finish. Superb."

Sweet White Bordeaux

2017 Carmes de Rieussec - Reduced from £90 to £65 per 6. Sauternes is already one of the wine world's great bargains, and with this discount the now-mature 2017 Carmes de Rieussec is a fabulous wine for the money. 93 points from both Galloni and Suckling, this is a Farr favourite. Also available in halves. 

2010 Lafaurie Peyraguey - Reduced from £175 to £125 per 6. This 16 year old first growth Sauternes is now just over £20 a bottle in bond. 95 points from Neal Martin who writes that it is "turning into a beautiful Lafaurie-Peyraguey." A fantastic deal that is a lot of wine for the money, this wine will ship in February 2026.

2007 Coutet - Reduced from £320 to £285 per 12. Now nearly 20 years old, 2007 Coutet is a real bargain at roughly £35 on the table including UK taxes. Martin says this is "an outstanding Coutet that will give years of drinking pleasure."

Red Burgundy

2018 Chambolle Musigny Les Fuées, Jadot - A final reduction from £395 to £335 per 6. From a premier cru adjacent to Bonnes Mares, this Fuées is one of Jadot's finest in 2018 and is universally praised by critics including William Kelley, who says it "is especially succesful" in this vintage. 

2018 Nuits St Georges Les Vaucrains, Henri Gouges - A new addition reduced from £435 to £395 per 6. Gouges' wines straddle quality and value perfectly, with recent vintages really impressing the team here at Farr. We have just a few six packs left of the 2018 Vaucrains, a wine with 94 points from MWs Jasper Morris and Tim Atkin. There are a handful of jeroboams discounted, too. 

1999 Volnay Clos d'Audignac, Pousse d'Or - A final reduction from £1,050 to £900 per 12. A great and now mature vintage in Burgundy, this '99 Clos d'Audignac is now £150 off per 12. A structured and serious vineyard from Pousse d'Or, it will now be in full stride. .

2020 Echezeaux, Coquard Loison-Fleurot - Reduced from £900 to £850 per 6. CLF's Burgundies have more than a hint of Cathiard about them, perhaps not surprisingly given their friendship. This 2020 grand cru is a bold, deep wine for laying down that will reward those with patience. 

White Burgundy

2022 Chablis Séchet, Dauvissat - A final reduction from £1,300 to £1,140 per 12. Dauvissat is one of Chablis' most celebrated names with good reason. This Séchet 2022 is young but full of personality, with multiple writers referring to its standout refinement and texture. 

2023 Bourgogne Blanc, Fornerol - A final addition reduced from £110 to £99 per 6. A very affordable price from one of Burgundy's under the radar and recently retired producers. One to keep in your fridge door for any occasion. 

2020 Puligny Montrachet Les Referts, Olivier Leflaive - Reduced from £540 to £480 per 6. A great vintage for white Burgundy and now £60 off, this premier cru from Olivier Leflaive comes from the vineyard next to Meursault Les Charmes and produces broad, full-bodied wines. 

The Rhône Valley

2021 Crozes Hermitage Les Varonniers, Chapoutier - A final addition reduced from £200 to £180 per 6. 96 points and only £30 a bottle in bond - Chapoutier's Varonniers invariably delivers value for money and this 2021 is delicious already thanks to the vintage's cool, aromatic and vivid floral tones. 

2018 Côte Rôtie Côte Blonde, De Boisseyt - A final reduction from £390 to £240 per 6. Now £150 off, just 2,500 bottles of this Syrah were made. 94 points from Jeb Dunnuck: "It's beautifully done."

2018 Côte Rôtie Terrasses, Jean-Luc Jamet - Reduced from £310 to £210 per 6. Since the split from the family domaine, Jean-Luc Jamet's wines have gone from strength to strength. This 2018 was arguably his second truly successful vintage and is now opening up beautifully. This is a wine for those who love a blend of freshness from whole bunch, power from fruit and just a hint of spice from oak. 

Champagne

2019 Base Vintage Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve - Reduced from £220 to £195 per 6. This wine from Charles Heidsieck combines two factors that make it a superb wine for the money, even before a discount. Firstly, it receives a significant proportion of reserve wines that make it far more complex than most Brut Reserves. Secondly, this particular shipment is based on the 2019 vintage, which might be our favourite since 2008 in Champagne. 

2020 Chartogne-Taillet Saint-Thierry - A final reduction from £525 to £440 per 6. Those who are uninitiated in the wines of Chartogne-Taillet are strongly recommended to try this Saint-Thierry, disgorged in 2023. A superb grower champagne with tension but real power and gastronomic intensity, it has 96 points from Antonio Galloni.

2015 Bollinger Grande Année Jeroboams - A final addition from £480 to £430 per jeroboam. Big bottles of this brilliant Bollinger are now £50 off. A vintage that has always been open-knit and showy, these are the perfect party bottle that you could open now or in a decade's time. 

2008 Bruno Paillard Nec Plus Ultra - A final reduction from £425 to £380 per 3. From the great 2008 vintage, this is Paillard's top wine, made only 7 times before this vintage. It always needs serious bottle age and now, with nearly 7 years since disgorgement, it is entering its prime. 

Italy

We have two vintages of Vigna del Sorbo reduced in the sale. From Fontodi, this Chianti Classico has high scores and now significant discounts. 

2017 Brunello di Montalcino, Biondi Santi - A final addition reduced from £750 to £675 per 6. Biondi Santi needs little introduction, and as Kerin O'keefe says, "The stunning 2017 Biondi Santi Brunello carries on the estate’s long tradition that focuses on elegance, complexity and longevity". She is just one of three critics to give this vintage 96 points. 

2022 Sassicaia - Reduced from £1250 to £980 per 6. Another big discount here for a wine that O'Keefe says is "impressive and defied my expectations" in what was an extremely hot year. Despite this, it is a modest 13.5% alcohol and is admired for its retained freshness. 

2019 Barbaresco Rabaja, Giacosa - A final reduction from £780 to £690 per 6. Giacosa's white label Rabaja is structured and powerful in 2019, with James Suckling calling it "Very Barolo-like in structure" in his 98 point review and Monica Larner likewise saying the "Rabajà has even more structure and power" than the Asili, scoring it 96 points. One to lay down and appreciate as it matures. 

U.S.A

We have a series of Jamie Kutch's wines available at significant discounts. A pioneer of cool climate, vibrant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, these are some of our favourite wines to come out of the USA; and they are fantastic value, too. 

2020 Grenache/Syrah Eleven Confessions Assortment, Sine Qua Non - A final reduction from £1,950 to £1,695 per 6. Containing three bottles each of Grenache and Syrah, this assortment from the iconic Sine Qua Non is now £200 off. Each wine receives 99 points from Jeb Dunnuck, who says the Grenache is "blockbuster" and challenges drinkers on the Syrah, saying "Anyone questioning the genius of Manfred Krankl needs to taste this wine."

2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate, Philip Togni - A final reduction from £900 to £720 per 12. Philip Togni's Cabernets have always looked to Bordeaux, rather than their neighbours, for inspiration. For those who want a wine that straddles the easy power and purity of Napa but the soul and grace of Bordeaux, this 2017 - which is now 20% off - is a perfect place to start. 

Imperfect Stock

There are some serious Red Burgundies in the sale with significant discounts due to minor imperfections, ranging from Cecile Tremblay to Coche-Dury and Armand Rousseau to Silvain Cathiard. These are well worth a look. 

1998 Pétrus - Reduced from £19,000 to £15,000 per 6. A £4,000 discount here as this double 100-point Pétrus - which is still in its original wooden case - has very slightly damp affected labels. 

2003 La Romanée, Comte Liger Belair - Reduced from £4,500 to £4,200 each. We have just two bottles of this extremely rare, mature wine, discounted as they are not in original cases and have very slightly damaged labels.

1928 Yquem - Further reduced from £3,500 to £2,800 per 1. At nearly 100 years old, this very rare bottle of Yquem is 20% off because of a level that is to be expected of such an old wine - though the colour remains excellent. Photo available on request.
