Great well balanced review Jamie. Yes it’s been knocked and it’s easy to see why by simply looking at their offering and prices but its very much targeting the Luxury market and I for one am glad it’s been set up here in London rather than in NY, Paris, Frankfurt or HK…

Comment on Three amazing natural wines from Mas Coutelou by Mike Brown

Just trying my first ‘natural wine’, as a result of Jamie’s post. The Mas Coutelou 7 Rue de la Pompe 2012 Vin de France is delicious! Great nose and great in the mouth. Absolutely love it. I will definitely not be cellar ring any of these wines. My impression is that they are meant to be drunk young. Thanks Jamie.

Yes, it’s quite a phenomenon, isn’t it?
Some wines are actually good value there compared to elsewhere.
I’ll have to set the “amazing” police onto you, Jamie…

I loved it, and whilst I wouldn’t ever buy much of what was on display, I’d certainly buy some, and would like to try most of it. Staff seemed knowledgable and super friendly.

The recently published Wine Grapes doorstopper gives as one of the many synonyms for this variety Moscato Galego Dourado. Possibly the source of some confusion.

someone’s got the old edition on Amazon for a mere £300 at the moment! And they’re called Bob’s Bargain Books; hate to see their expensive ones.

Comment on Some nice wines from Lay & Wheeler by Kat

Hello!

Glad you enjoyed some of our wines at the press tasting!

Just quickly, regarding the comment above about our charges, it is certainly true that we operate differently from Majestic Wine.

If any of our wines are available for immediate delivery, we will deliver free to all mainland UK addresses on orders over £200.

The majority of our clients purchase wines in bond and en primeur to store for their future enjoyment. There are storage fees associated with this, currently £9.36 per case per year. There are also delivery charges at the time of delivery, currently £15 including VAT, which covers up to 3 cases and includes insurance for full replacement value. If wines need to be removed from bond, then duty and VAT need to be paid at this point – but that all goes to the government!

Delivery to Majestic Stores is free for members of our Fine Wine Plan, our subscription-based cellar creation scheme. This scheme starts at £50 per month, with all funds used for wine and storage charges, rather than administration fees. Members subscribing over £100 per month receive – among other benefits – a free case of fine wine and 10% discount to be used at Majestic Wine.
