The Bird in Hand range is a limited release of premium quality wines created from the best parcels of fruit from every vintage.

Best known for his Rieslings, Jeff Grosset's Chardonnay is also known for its pure expression of variety and place. Free-run juice fermented in French oak and 30% malolactic fermentation has resulted in a riotously perfumed Chardonnay with bright, fresh fruit.

The nose is a tropical fruit and citrus. The palate is very pleasant, smooth and silky with notes of ripe fruit and citrus and a hint of sweet spice.

Clean tasting Chardonnay - attractively light in body, and no oak.

Brilliant and limpid with a pale greenish gold hue. The aromas are particularly expressive in this rather hot vintage, with stone fruit such as apricot or vine peach, evolving to floral notes of acacia blossom and aniseed. Good balance in the mouth, fresh, fruity and round, with a delicious minerality which is the signature of this wine from one vintage to the next.

Very little white Beaujolais is produced but if this example is anything to go by perhaps the plantings of Chardonnay should be increased. Planted on limestone-rich sand/clay soils this exhibits some excellent Burgundian qualities with a clean fresh nose and palate, showing some signs of malolactic fermentation with an ever so light creamy finish

Open, fragrant nose with notes of fresh fruits and white flowers.

The mouth follow through on the same notes, with vibrant and fresh lime fruits.

The finish is pleasant and refreshing. The wine shows and develops nicely in its primary youth.

Very mineral, yet not aggressive, with trademark green and red apple and oyster-shell aromas. The palate is whistle-fresh with lime, apple and more minerals showing. The overall impression is of a perfectly balanced, fleshy and ripe wine.

Seductive aromas of white stone fruits, flowers and spices. Full, dry, superb balanced fruit/freshness. Absolutely delicious! A must try!

Lots of tropical fruit flavours mingling with a lovely gentle oak. A splendid Chardonnay.

Fifth generation winemaker Cedric Chêne is now at the winemaking helm at this top class 60 acre family estate situated in southern Burgundy just north of Mâcon. Outstanding wines made in miniscule quantities.

A velvety smooth Chardonnay, well rounded with a soft texture; done entirely in stainless steel. It shows great finesse and remarkable balance.

Complex and well rounded Chablis from vines averaging over 40 years of age.

A classic introduction to white Burgundy.

Located in the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise, Domaine Jacqueson’s 18 hectares of vines are spread across some of the region’s best growing sites, including Mercurey, Rully, and Bouzeron. The estate farms their vineyards without herbicides and highlights the importance of keeping yields low. This varietal Chardonnay is more floral and less opulent than most Côte de Beaune bottlings, marked by flavors of mandarin, lemon skin, crushed rocks, and white blossom. Great quality to price ratio!

From a well-placed vineyard adjoining premier cru Les Castets. Fresh and fruity with lovely, honeyed chardonnay nose. This is now aged like all the premiers crus in 30% new oak barrels.

This has a very fine nose with delicate floral notes as well as apples, pears and a wonderful citrus-blossom aroma. On the palate this is elegant and mineral with delicious white fruit character and a lovely saline finish.

An assembly of different climates of Fuisse which gives it complexity and balance. It is a wine that is powerful and fat with a nice typical Burgundy mineral freshness.

Unique and expressive white Burgundy.

"Vincent Dureuil can make a strong claim to rank as the finest producer in the Côte Chalonnaise" Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Located next to the grand cru sites in this super small but elegant vintage that shows perfect balance with some yellow flowers on the nose. The palate is linear and direct with a long fresh finish with classic Puligny gunflint.

This is a special cuvee in honour of Yves' grandfather, Fernand. The grapes come from four very high quality plots. With a total of 1.26 hectares under vine and an exposure arching round from east to south on limestone and marl soils, these wines are rich, well-structured with a long, persistent finish.

This is a special cuvee in honour of his Yves' grandfather, Fernand. The grapes come from four very high quality plots starting from 'Les Pellans' in the south leading to 'Les Pelles Dessous' and 'Au Moulin Landin' next to the village and ending with 'Le Pre de Manche' in the north. With a total of 1.26 hectares under vine and an exposure arcing round from east to south on limestone and marl soils, these wines are rich, well-structured with a long, persistent finish.

Jean-Marc uses barrels for three years (a third new, a third one year and a third two years) which brings harmony and balance to the wine. Floral aromas and red apple carrying through to a well textured palate.

"Vincent Dureuil must rate as one of Burgundy's great overachievers, demonstrating the quality that is possible in the Côte Chalonnaise." - Robert Parker

The wine is bold and full of tropical fruit with a powerful and lingering appeal on the palate.
This Premier Cru wine has been selected from the best parcels of land where the grapes are exposed to the maximum amount of sunshine which ensures optimum ripeness before the harvest.
