July 2017 Specialist Merchant of the Year: Rhône "The judges were keen to support and commend Lay & Wheeler’s notable improvement and renewed vigour of late. This historic merchant has been through many significant changes, most notably being acquired by Majestic in 2009. But a new team, busy year, promising list, new website and other ambitious plans all bode well for the future."
