Welcome to our July Sale.
As usual the wines are divided into two categories: firstly those of perfect appearance which are simply reduced because we need to make room for new purchases. 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.
There are over 1,200 wines on offer – most discounted by at least 10%, and some by considerably more. Apart from selecting wines from our own stocks, we have been able to purchase some really keenly-priced parcels of Bordeaux recently and many interesting wines from our customer reserves that we are selling on a commission basis.
Do check back regularly as we will continue to scour our stocks throughout the month and make additions to the sale.

2019 Haut Batailley - Reduced from £210 to £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."

Red Burgundy
2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Concis du Champs Rouge, Jean-Claude Bachelet - Reduced from £240 to £215 per 6.

2023 Echezeaux, Rouget - Reduced from £5,400 to £4,800 per 12. This is the first vintage that a parcel of Clos St Denis was added to Les Treux and Cruots. It is understandably a wine that will need time - as Meadows confirms - "This is a big wine, both in the context of what is typical for Echézeaux but also in terms of the 2023 vintage."
