We buy direct from the producer in Châteauneuf-du-Pape — no importers, no wholesalers, no retail chain taking a slice. In the UK a bottle passes through three or four hands before it reaches a shelf, and every one of them adds a margin. We skip all of them, and our profit comes from membership rather than the wine.
Châteauneuf-du-Pape is one of France's most prestigious appellations, and wine at this level sells for £60-80 a bottle on the high street. Six bottles of this one is £109.99 — £18.33 a bottle, a saving of £370.01. That is the kind of value that makes members come back month after month.

On the nose it kicks up wild herbs, sweet spice and black pepper. The palate gives way to sumptuous black fruit, with the leather and gamey notes that are the hallmark of a top-quality Châteauneuf. Elegant, savoury and full-bodied at 15% — one of the most food-friendly wines on the planet. Open one tonight, or lay the rest down: it will keep developing through to 2050.
