Mature Rare Wines From Our Cellar!

Ever since I started working at Gauntleys, just over a quarter of a century ago, I have been laying down age worthy wines in our cellar allowing them to mature quietly amongst the stock that we use to replenish the shop with.

Over the years, as these wines gained maturity, they would have been brought over to the shop during the festive period and offered to the lovely wine buyers of Nottingham. Now I thought it might be an idea to offer these fabulous wines to a wider audience, which is why we have created this special ‘Mature Wines From the Cellar’ offer.

Some of these wines, such as the Bandol’s from Domaine Tempier are now quite old and are showing some lovely maturity. Wine made from Mourvedre will live for decades, but with the festive season approaching, we felt that it is time to release them from their slumbers and offer them up for your enjoyment.

We are also offering a number of bottlings of Domaine du Pegau Chateauneuf-du-Pape, including a couple of larger formats, which would look absolutely fantastic on the table along with the festive food. We also have a couple of bottles remaining of the 2007 Cuvee Papet from Clos du Mont Olivet, which on release, back in the day received an almost perfect score from the Wine Advocate. We shouldn’t forget a few bottles of the 2005 Hermitage Le Greal from the legendary Marc Sorrel and one magnum of the 2006 Ermitage Les Greffieux from one of the great wine makers of the Northern Rhone, Michel Chapoutier.

For those of you that like your white wines, especially Burgundian white wine with a good amount of age, we have taken out the Meursault Le Clous from Patrick Javillier and not forgetting the desert accompaniment, we have pulled out a few bottles of the Istvan Szepsy Tojaki Cuvee. Szepsy is one of the masters of Tojaki and although this wine is 25 years old, it’ll be in a fabulous place.

Finally, some of these wines are now down to the last bottle or two, so be quick and grab yourself one of these special bottles whilst stocks last.

Featured Producers

We are firm believers that the person is just as important as the place, and that a little of each wine-maker can be seen in their wine! Here we highlight a small selection of the talented artists whose creations inspire us, each with their own unique and inspiring stories.

We recently learned of the sad passing of an old friend and wine maker Nicolas Potel. You can read our tribute to him here.

Discovery and exploration made easy.

Spirits

We are not only passionate about our wines, but we also love spirits of all descriptions. Just like our wine selection we don’t feel the need to ‘follow the crowd’, but seek out unique, interesting, and dedicated distilleries and producers along with forthright and innovative independent bottling companies. Our selection features a hand-picked and curated range of spirits that offers everything from everyday favourites through to the sometimes downright weird and wonderful.! We invite you to peruse our collection of over 500 different spirits and we sincerely hope that you will find the ideal bottle for your desired occasion.
