James Nicholson Wine Merchant I The List
JAMES NICHOLSON WINE MERCHANT THE LIST 2014 Welcome Welcome to our 2014 retail list. We have continued to take a zero tolerance line on quality and have added many exciting new talents like Spain’s Dominio del Bendito from Toro, Carmelo Rodero from Ribera del Duero and Clos d’Agon from Catalunya. We are delighted to be able to offer the superb whites of northern Portugal’s Quinta de Soalheiro, including a superb sparkling Alvarinho, and we have some interesting newcomers from Languedoc Roussillon among our many new producers. The 2013 vintage has been a real challenge in Europe with a small and difficult harvest and most of our team of growers are really hoping for something special in 2014. We are currently travelling and tasting the new vintage in most regions and it is clear from all that we have tasted so far that our objective should be to buy and hold as much stock from previous vintages as we can. We will offer many opportunities to taste this year and have already scheduled visits from a large number of our growers. This is shaping up to be an exciting year. Yours in wine, Voted Regional Wine Merchant of the Year 2013 at the International Wine Challenge for the 21st time!

This wine totally overdelivers on price and quality from a top notch CNDP producer." 11.5010.35 Les Bancels 2011, Domaine de Cébène, Faugères, France "Wonderful up-and-coming producer in Faugères. We met Brigitte Chevalier on a trip to the south of France earlier this year and were charmed by her, and how her smart, organic approach to growing is showing in this top quality wine. One to watch." 15.9514.35 Ref: 436 Ref: 374 Averil Johnston L'Effet Papillon Rouge 2012, Regional France "New to JNWine from one of our favourite winemakers Marjorie Gallet. This is a delicious blend of Carignan, Grenache & Syrah; soft and approachable with plenty of fruit, far too easy to drink and not a bad price either." 9.998.99 Ref: 404 Derek Flack Forrest Chardonnay 2011, Marlborough, New Zealand "New Zealand winemaking is synonymous with Sauvignon Blanc and, to a lesser extent, Pinot Noir. However, the country also ships out a lot of excellent Chardonnay. The cool climate seems to produce wines with a nervous energy allied to ripeness of fruit that rivals the great Chardonnays of Burgundy. Forrest Estate’s Chardonnay combines stone fruit flavours with a mealy, biscuity underlay and lively, crisp minerality. A perfect companion for seafood and poultry dishes." 14.3512.91 Ref: 555 Jane Boyce MW Château Laclaverie 2010, Côtes de Francs, Bordeaux, France "Before you abandon all hope of finding good quality claret at a reasonable price, try this. It has an excellent pedigree coming from the Thienpont/Derenoncourt stable and is made at Chateau Puygueraud. It has that wonderful typicity of ripe, spicy fruit and cedar on the nose. On the palate, it is warm and juicy with good concentration underpinned by yielding tannins and subtle oak. A very complete red Bordeaux which says a lot about the quality of the 2010 vintage." 10.959.85 Ref: 118 Judith Scott Dominio de Tares Baltos 2011, Bierzo, Spain "The wines from Bierzo are a real contrast to other Spanish reds. The reds are made from the Mencia grape which is lighter and softer than Tempranillo. Baltos is all too drinkable with fresh red berry fruits, some savoury, herbal notes and the kind of complexity that makes it hard to put your glass down." 11.9910.79 Ref: 614 Kristin Collins Bellevue Chardonnay 2013, Loire, France "All too often people are put off by the word Chardonnay. When it is bad, it is very very bad, but when it is good it is my favourite grape variety. This offering from Domaine Bellevue is a great example of a well made, affordable Chardonnay. Coming from the cool-climate Loire, this wine has delightful freshness and minerality, but at its core is that honeyed, citrusy richness that I enjoy so much. A welcome addition to this year's portfolio." 04 James Nicholson Wine Merchant I The List 2014 I Retail 9.358.41 Ref: 347 T H E J N TO P 1 2 Laura Bradley BOTTLEBOTTLE/CASE Sartarelli Brut Spumante NV, Italy "This sparkling has been a favourite of mine for a while – made from Verdicchio & aged on the lees, this charming wine is jam-packed with green apple, citrus & pear notes. It’s dry, crisp & refreshing, making it wine the perfect companion to fresh salads, shellfish & summer sunshine!" 15.0013.50 Ref: 694 Liz Creagh Soalheiro Alvarinho 2013, Portugal "Light, crisp and elegant white made by this superb producer in northern Portugal from Alvarinho, the same grape as Spain's Albariño, which is made just over the border in Galicia. Fresh, lively and aromatic with citrus and peach fruit – delicious with grilled fish or just perfect for sipping of a balmy summer evening." 13.5012.15 Ref: 568 Maria Elena Lugea Amic Clos D’Agon 2010, Spain "From the sunny slopes of Catalunya in northern Spain, this delightfully ripe and succulent red wine has become one of my firm favourites. A blend of Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot, it has juicy fruit reminiscent of raspberries and black cherries, with gentle spice and soft tannins from the oak ageing. Overall, this is a very likeable, very drinkable wine, but don’t let that soft juicy fruit fool you – it still packs a punch!" 15.9514.35 Ref: 621 Rachel McKenzie Le Pigeoulet des Brunier 2010/11, Rhône, France "One of my favourites from our great selection of Rhône wines. It’s fresh, rich in red fruit and has just the right amount of spice on the finish. The handpicked grapes come from vines with an average age of 25 years, so the wine is packed full of flavour! A great value-for-money bottle of red wine that drinks like a baby Châteauneuf-du-Pâpe." 12.7511.47 Ref: 366 Thomas Glackin Wolftrap White 2013, South Africa "This is the kind of white I turn to when I want something satisfying and savoury but it’s too warm for red. It is a full-bodied white with plenty of flavour and a toasty finish and it’s great with food." special offer 9.258.32 Ref: 593 If you would like to buy a case containing 1 bottle of each of the above, the special case price is £130.00 (subject to availability) Follow us!

Ernst is a lifelong Pinot Noir fanatic and has been producing it at his J.L. Wolf estate since 1996, the same year that Jay launched his own brand in Oregon. The two cemented their friendship in 2004 when Jay travelled to Germany to help the short-handed harvest crew at Dr. Loosen. It wasn’t long before they began talking about collaborating to produce Pinot Noir together in Oregon. Their friendship led to a partnership and in 2010 they began building a winery and planting a vineyard in Newberg, Oregon. The new venture produces wines under the already-established “J. Christopher” brand. As winemaker for the joint venture, Jay is in charge of all winery operations and vineyard management. Ernst sees his role as that of a collaborator who both supports the international growth of the brand and broadens the winery’s exposure to Old World ideas and techniques.

Riesling accounts for 40% of plantings with Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris next in prominence. Conversion to organic/biodynamic began in 1998 and the winery gained Ecocert certification in 2000 and Biodyvin in 2002. Olivier explains that biodynamic culture creates more life activity in the soil allowing it to develop a much better structure through a better humus/mineral mix. This increases erosion resistance, helps to retain the minerals in the soil and improve drainage. The higher metabolism of the soil guarantees better and more regular nutrition of the vines. Biodynamic practices also provide all the energy and influences the vines need to stay “in tune” with its environment, making it more resistant to the major parasites. Olivier believes that his wines must reflect Nature with minimal interference from man.

The botanicals are hand picked, the water is drawn from the estate's own source and distillation proceeds on a small copper still – everything crafted to perfection by hand. Shortcross is a classical gin. It is smooth with an exceptionally long aftertaste. Its unique characteristics are down to the use of fresh apples, elderberries and wild clover which are distilled with the other botanicals including juniper, coriander, orange peel, lemon peel and cassia (derived from the cinnamon plant). Give it a try, gin lovers – you won't regret it.

This is a proper questing wine explorer, someone who travels continually, rooting around to find rare gems, rather than buying in vast vats of bland blends.” SUSY ATKINS, SUNDAY TELEGRAPH, JANUARY 2013 Whether you are looking for a gift, a recommendation for a wine to go with a meal, wines to invest in or some help in expanding your wine drinking horizons we are here to help you find something suitable for your palate and your purse. On Saturdays you will always find a bottle of something open to try in our tasting room and we run tasting evenings and courses throughout the year for a whole host of reasons, but mostly because we love it and we know you do too.
