Burgundy 
Villages
with double-barrelled names are the key to Burgundy's greatest wines because
long ago they hijacked the names of their most famous vineyards, so that
humble village wines could sell on the back of the finest Grand Crus.
The village of Gevrey, for example, took the name of its famous Chambertin
vineyard to become Gevrey-Chambertin.
One simplicity in Burgundy is that the reds are made from Pinot Noir, the whites from Chardonnay.
It's a large area stretching from Chablis in the north to Beaujolais in the south.
The finest Burgundian vineyards are owned by a proliferation of smallholders. prior to 1789, the church owned most of the vineyards, but these were seized and broken up as a direct result of the Revolution, which was as much anti-church as anti-aristocracy.
Our main supplier has a wide range of over 120 fine wines.

Bois d'Yver, Courgis
George Pico and his son, Thomas, make delightful quality Chablis at great prices, they also made a top sparkling wine called Cremant de Bourgogne, every bit as good as fine champagne. It's made exactly like Champagne and it's only 40km from the Champagne region. The Chablis is Harrod's house Chablis but a tad more expensive than our offering.
