tasted in the wine – even the most sensitive Master of Wine would

have difficulty picking out organic wines by taste profile alone. However,

the grower that farms this way has to spend more time and effort in

the vineyard. This extra care and attention most definitely can be tasted

in the wine, even if the lack of pesticide residues cannot!

And biodynamics? Often portrayed as ‘moon cycles witchcraft’ or

‘organics-plus-plus’; something in between is closer to the truth. The

biodynamic grower adopts an holistic approach to the entire land – as

opposed to just the target crop – and as such one has a ready made

riposte to those who point to studies showing organic fruit is no more

healthy than non-organic produce; they miss the point entirely! It is

not about the health of the produce, but the health of the land itself.

Biodynamism (and indeed organics) embarks on a process where the

land bequeathed from father to son and mother to daughter is in a

better and healthier state than when they started. Pair this with the

fact that it is the terroir that makes interesting and great wines, then

anything that nurtures and cares for this golden egg laying goose should

be encouraged.

Therefore not only do we believe the green movements, under

whatever banner, should be supported for the future of great wines, but

in these days of sustainability and the Toyota Prius, it is a value add that

the drinker can readily buy into.

We would be in denial if we said that wine drinkers are spending

as much as they did in those heady days of 2007. For those of your

customers who are spending less, but not wanting to trade down or

compromise, we have trimmed prices as best we can – 150 of the

wines in this list – and highlighted wines that can be served by the glass

or carafe on The Short List on page 1.

Tom Heywood Lonsdale

Managing Director

A year ago the country and the rest of the world was in the

midst of a financial tsunami. Everyday we are still handling the

repercussions, but a clear trend has emerged: the importance of

perceived value.

Mainstream retailers have interpreted this change in mindset to

be one of cost and reacted with deeper and deeper discounting.

This is surely a blinkered approach where the reduced cost does

nothing for the value of the product, which by association has

been reduced too. Value has not been created as you pay less for

a lesser product. Genesis have taken a route of discussing these

issues with our many growers and finding ways of trimming costs,

but still providing value. This is no easy task with the weaker

pound and the government’s overly enthusiastic approach to

increasing duty.

Value in our eyes is about offering a product and proposition that

has something of worth and integrity. Genesis makes a concerted

effort to search out ‘growers’ rather than ‘producers’. This is not

simply semantics but a statement of how these hands-on farmers,

who craft their wines out of the land, are able to produce real

wine of worth and substance. Grower wines are the opposite

of mass produced wines, where more investment is given to the

look of the bottle and the label than the actual contents; surely

the wine itself is the acid test of value? The recent trend among

the public for allotments, grow-your-own vegetables and famers’

markets, suggests there is a growing and receptive audience for

this approach in the UK.

Genesis fully supports sustainable farming methods, a fact that is

illustrated throughout this list with the prevalence of B and O

markers against many growers. We believe that this is the way of

the future and that in 20 to 30 years all wines of note will be made

this way. In the meantime it is another element of added value to

take to the customer. Granted, just because grapes for wine have

been grown organically, does not mean that that in itself can be

ChampagneChampagne Dehours, CerseuilA fourth generation independent grower, Jérôme Dehours, along with his brother-in-law Jean-Marc Laisne, has produced a marvellous range of

Champagnes from their numerous parcels of vines split between Mareuil-le-Port, Oeuilly and Troissy. The non-vintage white has a light, delicate nose

with apple and citrus notes – a perfect aperitif. The rosé has a very pale rose petal colour that again reflects the delicate palate that is a blend between

Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and a larger percentage of Pinot Meunier. Jérôme has been a great find for us as his wines are not only of high quality but also

extremely well priced.

Champagne Agrapart, AvizePascal Agrapart owns ten hectares in Avize and the neighbouring villages. With a majority of Grand Cru Chardonnay vineyards the wines are very classy

and reflect the quality of the vineyard work he puts in. In a recent issue of the Revue des Vins de France, Agrapart Champagnes were ranked among

the best Grande Marques Cuvées, and the ‘Les 7 Crus’, a blend of seven different Premier and Grand Cru vineyards, scored 92 points on the other side

of the Atlantic. Very exciting growers’ Champagne.

Champagne Maillart, EcueilThe quality of Nicolas Maillart’s straight non-vintage has always been very high and such great value as well. As a Pinot Noir dominant-grower (in

contrast to Agrapart’s Chardonnay based wines, and Dehours’ predilection with Pinot Meunier) his wines show plenty of red fruit aromas and depth.

LoireWe take a lot of pride in our list of growers from the Loire, and while the region may not have the blue chip status of Bordeaux, or the exclusive

nature of Burgundy, the area has more than its fair share of superstars: Domaine Didier Dagueneau, Clos Rougeard, Alphonse Mellot. One could very

easily get the Loire Eye Spy book out and start ticking off all those that Genesis lists. Though diverse in style they all have a similar theme running

through them that is in tune with the drinkers of here and now – they are refreshing and moreish, with incisive fruit flavours and definite sense of place.

The only downside is the growing number of wines on allocation. Many of these growers are now so successful that demand vastly outstrips supply and

we recommend that you contact a member of our sales team to secure wines from the more sought after among them.

O Pascal & Nicolas Reverdy, SancerreAnother tragic loss to the wine world that leaves a gaping hole: Nicolas Reverdy was killed in a terrible accident in late 2007, leaving that year’s wine as

the last made by his hands. And extremely good they are too now that they are in bottle – a fitting tribute. However, his bother Pascal has taken over

the running of the property and continues the hard work done over the past fifteen years that has established this domaine as one of the best in the

region.

Masson Blondelet, Pouilly FuméWhat do you do when you make wines in an appellation that is home to one of the true, all be it eccentrically incomparable greats of all time, Didier

Dagueneau? Become disillusioned that you will never be noticed, or work doubly hard to create the very best possible? It is of course the second route

that Jean-Michel Masson takes and as a result we think this has to be one of the domaines to follow in the Loire. With a fast growing and fanatical

following these are delightful and impressive wines that should be tried now before they achieve a cult status of their own.

Vignoble des Bois Vaudon, TouraineThe young and talented Jean-François Merieau is making superb wines from his large 50 hectare property in the Cher. Jean-François is one of the rare

producers in this unfashionable area, who is working and picking manually to achieve lower yields and higher concentration. This has a cost but the

results are well worth the effort. The wines are well defined, showing great typicity but with a modern twist and super drinkability. Not to mention

some very attractive labels.

appellations of the Loire are often overlooked. However the terrific range of wines of François Chidaine from Montlouis and Vouvray are the best find

we have made in the Loire in the past four years. The wines show well young but have the stuffing to get better with age; the Baudoin and Bouchet

cuvées in particular show some ageworthy sweetness. In short a grower to get excited about.

O Domaine Didier Dagueneau, Pouilly FuméThe wine world is still spinning from the freakish and premature death of the Master of the Loire Didier Dagueneau. Undisputedly the finest grower in

the Loire, Didier was in the vanguard of groundbreaking producers in the whole of France. The world even. He will be truly missed by us at Genesis

and the wine drinking world, however the show goes on and the 2007 wines released now were of course made by Didier and as such were been

snapped up; please contact the sales team to be considered for any allocations of the soon to be offered 2008s.

Philippe Delesvaux, LayonPhilippe Delesvaux’s reputation is growing year after year, not least because despite the undoubted quality of his wines, the prices are shockingly good

value for money. His Coteaux du Layons are sublime, with just enough freshness to balance the natural sweetness. The straight Layon is always hugely

popular and incredible value, but lovers of sweet wines fight over the limited quantities of the other cuvées, especially the immensely rich and unctuous

Séléction de Grains Nobles.

B Domaine de l’Ecu, Sèvre et MaineGuy Bossard was, and still is, one of France’s pioneers of biodynamics – he has run his domaine according to those principles for nearly two decades.

As you would expect of one who is dedicated fully to a holistic approach to viticulture, Bossard names his Muscadet after the soil composition of the

vineyard, hence the geological persuasion. As well as great expressions of terroir these wines are fantastically ageworthy. This year we also introduce

l’Ecru’s Gros Plant – a better priced partner for oysters you will not find.

Domaine Guiberteau, SaumurRomain Guiberteau is a young and promising producer coached by Nady Foucault of Clos Rougeard. The style is very close to that of Clos Rougeard,

perhaps a little more modern but also with long élévage and nice concentration without too much extraction. Already in great demand around the

Cheval Blanc does better Cabernet Franc in our opinion. All the wines are beautifully made and show supremely well integrated tannins created

using traditional techniques. They are only released when the time is right and as you can imagine quantities are scarce, please contact us for more

B Alphonse Mellot, SancerreToday the wines of the best estate in Sancerre are made by the nineteenth generation of the Mellot family, Alphonse Junior, with his father Alphonse

Senior on hand to pass on his vast experience. The whites they make are some of the most complex and intense Sauvignons around owing to the high

average age of the vines and varying degrees of oak used in the élevage. As for the reds, these are as close as you can get to fine Burgundy in the Loire

and as such need time to reach their full potential.

Zernott, along with Anne Pellé, has taken this winery from strength to strength. Of course the fact that Julien is great friends with Alphonse Mellot

doesn’t hurt when it comes to picking up the odd trick or two.

Burgundy

Burgundy epitomises Genesis’ approach to our growers: invariably small operations with an intense affinity towards the land and an overriding sense

of place. Yes, Burgundy can be mercurial but the region has never been on better form and produced more consistently than it does now; be it the

heights of the wonderful 2005 vintage or the contrasting 2006s and 2007s. The artisan approach of Burgundy producers leads to small, if not miniscule

allocations and many of the wines that we list do not make it into print on a price list such as this that must last for half the year.

Our En Primeur offer, released in January every year, is often the best way to secure stocks of the more sought after wines from the likes of: Domaine

Denis Mortet, Domaine Sylvie Esmonin, Domaine Jacques Frédéric Mugnier, Domaine Henri Gouges, Domaine Guy Roulot, Domaine Louis Carillon,

Domaine Vincent Dauvissat. Further stocks of top Burgundies can also be found in our monthly Fine Wine list.

Chablis

O Domaine Billaud-Simon, ChablisBillaud Simon is now consistently producing some of the most beautiful wines in the appellation which has been confirmed by the worldwide success

of the domaine. Every wine from the simple Chablis to the best Grand Cru is full of mineral expression and class, with an almost electric tension and

structure. However skilful Bernard Billaud is in the winery though, even he cannot control the weather gods – 2007 saw significant losses owing to hail

and so quantities for this vintage are down on what we would normally expect. Look out for the 2008s.

O Domaine des Temps Perdus, PréhyPréhy-based Clotilde Davenne, ex-winemaker at Brocard, is a stylish operator. She makes classical, unforced wines that are the epitome of the terroirs

she works with and cultivates using organic techniques. Not only does she produce lithe Chablis but she also crafts equally chic and interesting wines

from lesser famed Aligoté, Sauvignon de Saint Bris and Petit Chablis. The Crémant is a new and very welcome addition this year to our sparkling range.

O Domaine Vincent Dauvissat, Chablis

Vincent Dauvissat is one of France’s best producers and worthy of the Fine Wine moniker. He makes Chablis that requires time to evolve and reach the

dizzying heights that set him apart from the rest. His top wines will, in good vintages, last well past their twentieth birthdays and even the supposedly

basic ones can take three to four years to evolve. These wines are unfortunately only available in tiny quantities so please speak to your salesperson for

information on allocations of the 2008s.

Laurent Tribut, PoinchyAn apprentice to the master so to speak; Laurent is Vincent Dauvissat’s brother in law, and makes wine in a similar top quality vein. He has learned well

from his great mentor and utilises older oak barrels which create harmonious and accessible wines from the outset without sacrificing the flinty aspects

and startling minerality of his terroir. Fine Chablis.

Maison Deux Montille, MeursaultDeux Montille, run by brother and sister team Etienne and Alix de Montille, is the négociant business of the family’s Volnay-based domaine. With a

large quality-filled range stretching from the lesser appellations in the Côte Chalonnaise to grander cuvées of the Côte d’Or, the wines are a great way

Rhône

For all intents and purposes the Rhône Valley is where Genesis’ heart is: the company’s first En Primeur campaign, the 2003 Rhônes, is what put us

on the wine merchant map. The dual nature of the region geographically (North–South), viticulturally (Grenache or Syrah) and in the appellations

(established ACs versus the new up-and-coming spots) makes this a forever interesting and dynamic region. Last but not least, while the top wines of

more illustrious regions such as Bordeaux and Burgundy require deep pockets, the cru wines of the Rhône still represent good value for money. That

said, the cat is untying the bag and the most recent vintage, 2007, was a stellar one and has been received with particular fanfare and acclaim. Some

of more desirable cuvées are on tight allocations and are best sourced when we release our previously mentioned En Primeur campaign in November

each year. This includes the likes of René Rostaing, Domaine de Marcoux, Clos du Cailou, Domaine de la Mordorée, Pegau and Vieille Julienne.

Hermitage tree and are now considered one of the best producers. They own a hectare and half of straight Hermitage vines but their Crozes surpasses

Stéphane Ogier, Ampuis31 year old Stéphane may be young in body but his skill as a winemaker is much more mature, producing a house style with finesse and delicacy to

the fore. His youthful passion does show through however, in his expansion plans for the property where he has already planted the other side of the

river to Vienne. These wines from less established appellations show just as much quality and provide a perfect introduction to what this soon to be

René Rostaing, AmpuisRené continues to be one of the great characters in the Rhône valley and his Côte Rôties are world famous. His passion and character are evident in

his winemaking and his rules are simple: lots of hard work in the vineyard followed by minimal intervention in the cellar, with gentle extraction and

skilful handling of oak. The results are incontestable. He produces wines that are fine, medium to full bodied, delicate and perfectly balanced, that while

providing immediate pleasure, have the structure to age for fifteen plus years.

François Villard, Saint MichelFrançois’ operation is a great example of the modern Rhône; a relative newcomer (he started in the wine game just over 15 years ago) there has been

extensive investment in his winery and cuverie, and selection of the parcels of grapes is exemplarily. The resulting wines are then treated to the best

wood money can buy; be it new or older. A more expressive, passionate and driven vigneron you will not come across.

Paul Blanc, Costières de NîmesThe Paul Blanc wines are produced at the Mas Carlot estate run by Nathalie Blanc-Mares. Costières de Nîmes is one of those slightly schizophrenic

appellations that is often listed with southern French and Languedoc wines, even though it is situated in the Rhône delta. It is possibly the

preponderance of Syrah planted that tips the balance in the favour of the south, and this is reflected in blends of Natalie’s rosés and reds. The whole

range has impressive complexity for the price point and great drinkability.

Henri Bonneau, Châteauneuf du PapeHenri Bonneau is one of the last of the great winemaking icons in France. The wines which are aged in oak for a long time can look prematurely old

but in actual fact gain in freshness and structure over the years. They can last for several decades and outgun many other Châteauneuf du Papes that

promised more in their youth. Les Rouliers is a Vin de Table made from both declassified Châteauneuf and another well located vineyard across the

Rhône. It has all the hallmarks of the great man’s wines. Other wines can be found on our Fine Wine list.

O Les Jardins de Babylone, Jurançon

This is a typically exciting side project founded by the late, great, Didier Dagueneau. A four hectare vineyard located in an natural amphitheatre with

a prime view of the Pyrénées, it produces some of the country’s finest sweet wine. Using Petit Manseng’s natural acidity, the wine is delicate and

refreshing with fabulous balance. Rather than trying to pack as much sugary sweetness in the bottle as possible, the aim instead is for refinement and

finesse. The results are simply stunning. Unfortunately the grapes are picked at such low yields that the quantities produced are very small.

Vignobles GarcinThe owners of no less than four Châteaux – Clos L’Eglise (Pomerol), Barde-Haut (Saint Emilion), Branon (Pessac-Léognan) & Haut Bergey (Pessac-

Léognan) – mother and daughter Sylviane Cathiard and Hélène Garcin have catapulted themselves into the Bordeaux big league. In conjunction with

Hélène’s husband Patrice Levêque, Team Garcin has transformed the properties by investing heavily in vineyard management and the cellars themselves.

Their efforts have most definitely born fruit with critical acclaim and high scoring accolades aplenty. Clos L’Eglise is a concentrated and silky Pomerol

with a string of stellar performances since 1997. Château Barde-Haut shows the juicy, warm and approachable style of modern Saint Emilion that is

now so much in demand. Château Haut Bergey has the benchmark gravelly notes of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, with added suppleness and charm.

Château Branon has a very small production (on average 750 cases per annum), and more often than not sells out En Primeur. It is a bigger, more

concentrated and muscular version of the Haut Bergey. The second wines, Etoile de Bergey and Esprit de l’Eglise, offer a more immediate reflection of

the Grand Vins and are exceptional value for money.

As well as our flagship collection from the Garcin stable we also continue to list a range of less celebrated, but equally classy clarets that not only

represent impressive value for money but illustrate the new wave of conscientious and quality-driven properties on both banks. La Fleur de Bouard

continues to win fans, while Château Cissac is a more traditional classic. Château Richlieu improves with each vintage, and is on a par qualitatively with

many of its grander neighbours in Saint Emilion and Pomerol. Château Teyssier is owned by the Bordelais-baiting Englishman Jonathan Maltus, who has

invested heavily over the last 15 years in pursuit of making some of the best wines in Bordeaux.

For the latest classified growths and fine wine releases we conduct an En Primeur Offer each spring (April through June depending on when the

Châteaux release their prices). For older vintages please request a copy of our monthly Fine Wine List that is has an ever evolving line up of quality

Alvear, Montilla-MorilesFrom the Adelucian south of Spain, Montilla’s fortified wines have some similarities with Sherry, but they are far less well known, though it’s worth

noting that ‘Amontillado’ means ‘after the style of Montilla’. One of the differences is that Pedro Ximenez is the grape of choice for both dry and sweet

cuvées with not a splash of Palomino to be seen. Family owned, Alvear produces a wide range of styles. The Fino En Rama is zesty and pithy; the Carlos

VII is a classic Amontillado with strong nutty notes and extra length. The Oloroso is richer and sweeter with great complexity and is suited to desserts

and cheeses. The Solera was started in 1927 and is still being maintained while the Añada is made with sun dried grapes from exceptional vintages. All

in all these are beautifully made and distinctive wines that deserve a wider audience.

Portal Del Montsant, MontsantWhile the wines of trendy neighbour Priorat have gained a cult following, Montsant seems to be quietly going about its business almost unnoticed. The

catch is that the DO of Montsant envelopes the whole vineyard area of Priorat and has just as many amphitheatre-like vineyards with ancient vines.

Indeed the brains behind Portal, including oenologist Ricard Rofes, have a sister project called Portal Del Priorat where they are doing the same thing

there: resuscitating abandoned vineyards then vinify the stunning produce. These wines, including a flavour packed rosado, are simply amazing and

arguably, pound for pound, the most exciting on the list.

Valtuille, BierzoBierzo’s grape of choice is Mencia, and no that is not another regional name for Tempranillo! Probably its nearest comparison, if you had to make one,

is to Cabernet Franc and there are some similarities in the smoky hardwood aromas. However, the wines from Valtuille are riper and more generous

than those of the Loire. Just to the east of the province of Galicia Bierzo is influenced by Atlantic weather systems not the Mediterranean – this can

definitely be tasted in the northern European feel to the wine. The sprightly Joven is one of the best value wines on our list.

N Quinta do NovalOne of the grand old names of the port industry, Noval also make some very impressive table wines too. The fact that Christian Seely (the man behind

Bordeaux second grwoth Pichon Baron) gives more than just a helping hand with the quinta’s eponymous grand vin, produces an extremely polished fine

wine that has already induced a devoted cult following. Allocations though are tiny. However, a good dose of Syrah in the Cedro (around 50%) means that

the wine takes the ‘vinho regional’ designantion (Portugal’s equivalent of Vin de Pays and IGT), as opposed to the more illustrious Douro, but results in

a deliciously berried wine that feels more Mediterranean than Atlantic. These are a mighty impressive pair and a must try. Various Ports are available too;

B Felton Road, Central OtagoLocated in Central Otago, this estate has become one of New Zealand ‘s top producers. With a range of Rieslings and Pinot Noirs that are able to

rival the best the world has to offer. Since 2002 Felton Road has been run both organically and biodynamically by winemaker Blair Walter. Believing in

as little intervention as possible, he allows the 18 different rootstocks to show their best potential by carefully matching them to the most appropriate

soils. Hence the multitude of vineyard & block bottlelings. The 2008 releases are expected late autumn 2009.

Dutschke, Barossa ValleyWayne Dutschke’s vineyards have been in the family for three generations. His grandfather Oscar Semmler started planting in the Barossa Valley back in

the 1930s, and for much of this time the grapes were used for making sweet styles of wine, or simply sold on. More recently Wayne decided to grub up

some of the inherited vines and replant with Shiraz and other quality varieties. However, Wayne still keeps up the family tradition and makes fortified

wines too. They represent some of the very best sweet wines in the world regularly scoring huge points from international critics. If you love this style

of wine then they are not to be missed.

Lantana & WillandraNew to our range are two labels from Trentham Estate who are based in New South Wales. Both offer great value for money, especially considering

the droughts and hammering the vineyards in Australia have taken of late. Made in an easy drinking style yet with plenty of flavour the Lantanas are

typically Australian bi-varietal blends, while the Willandra, named after the ancient lake system to the north of the state, is a touch more complex and

defined. All deliver plenty of bang for your buck.

Wildman, VictoriaWildman is a Genesis collaboration where we have sought out a producer to make a wine to our own specifications. In this case our partner is Luis Riebl,

an Austrian psychiatrist who emigrated to Australia in 1980. Luis also owns Tallarook Estate in Victoria and a hugely successful brand called Terra Felix, so

he knows what he’s doing. The Chardonnay is unoaked, so is dominated by white fruit and floral flavours and is very natural.

Raats Family Wines, MalmesburyThe Raats family are one of the famous and established names of the Cape and are champions of Chenin Blanc, also known as Steen in South Africa.

The relatively abundant old vine stocks of this variety from the Loire has many commentators suggesting South Africa should makes this their speciality.

Proprietor Bruwer Raats would agree. The root of the cuvée name ‘Original’ is because Bruwer Raats wanted to turn away from the habit of over-

oaking the variety and return to the original fruit flavours of the Chenin grape, aiming for pineapple, apple and citrus flavours in his wine. Continuing the

Loire theme the Cabernet Franc is a rich and spicy example with hints of tea leaf and smoke. Powerful but with good freshness and a grippy finish.

O Brewer-Clifton, Santa Barbara CountyBorn out of an obsession with Santa Barbara County terroir, Brewer-Clifton was formed in the early 1990s by Greg Brewer and Steve Clifton. As the

former notes; “It is our primary goal and priority to deliver the essence of the vineyard as clearly and honestly as possible.” They do this by sourcing

parcels, which they vinify and bottle separately, from growers in all four corners of the region. Their range is extensive (including a Pinot from grapes

grown by the Melville family – see below) but like an artist’s palette each expresses the different shades and hues of the clone and terroir they are

derived from. Their name is held in reverence in the US and we and excited to import their wines in the UK. The 2007 releases are expected late 2009.

O Melville Family Vineyards, Santa Barbara CountyLocated in the centre of the Santa Rita Hills appellation, in Santa Barbara County, the Melville’s estate currently consists of 85 acres of vineyards. They

are purely growers and have a relationship with Greg Brewer (see above) who vinifies each of their plots for them. The climate here is significantly

impacted by the proximity to the ocean, and marked by consistent morning and evening fog and steady afternoon winds. These are pure and impressive

wines and though not identikit Burgundies they do share the same terroir-iste philosophy of wines with a direct connection to a plot and parcel in a

defined vineyard. The 2007 releases are expected late autumn 2009.
