Lay & Wheeler will start your collection with a 12-bottle case of:
This is a delightfully enticing wine, with hedgerow and brambly red fruit on the nose. Incredibly balanced, with a lovely sense of concentration and silky, integrated tannins. Ripe, succulent plum and pure morello cherry fruit to the fore, but there is also a graphite-like minerality that comes through on the finish. Superb value for money.

FREE case when you subscribe £300 or more per month
Lay & Wheeler will start your collection with a 12-bottle case of:
The second wine of Château Haut-Bailly, this has an intense nose of cherry and redcurrant with a touch of savoury warm stone. Spicy fruit and balanced acidity combine with a distinctive smokiness typical of Péssac. Proprietor Robert Wilmers has raised Haut-Bailly’s quality, in recent years, towards that of La Mission and first growth Haut-Brion.

We are in a privileged position of enjoying strong, long term relationships with key producers from around the world. Such relationships are priceless, giving us access, for example, to leading classed growth Châteaux and top Burgundy domaines
Securing wines that are in high-demand often requires that they be bought en primeur (prior to bottling). Lay & Wheeler has many years experience in selling wine in this fashion, and we offer the new vintages of Bordeaux and Burgundy every year.
Lay & Wheeler’s cellars at Vinothèque, a dedicated bonded fine wine warehouse in central England, provide assured cellar conditions for the long term storage and care of your wine.
