Fabulous Cote du Py Beaujolais from a great producer.
Improves if opened well before drinking.
Great balance of fruit, acidity and tannin.
Hint of oak adds to the complexity.
Available from other sources at a much cheaper price.
I have been to this beautiful wine shop and told them of their price differences but to no avail.
Must be the location.
Drinking aged Chianti for years until I tasted this gem at the bar, the wine's history told by the knowledgeable crew. Probably one of the best estates in Grosseto Tuscany. This wine punches way beyond the price level. My go to Italian. Thank you for the tip off!!
Recommended by David. I was looking for a Pinot that would display "less is more" character, not overly weighty but also not tight, just smooth and silky. Barolo esq.
Going back for more now! Very Yummy!
Lovely wine , great value at this price .
Got this as part of a gift and have ordered three more for a special occasion- just a deeply flavoured wine with complex berry flavours and v smooth with some depth. Drank it early 2025 - that said lovely coming out of the bottle but had a little bit the next day. Not the same. Not sure that relevant!
I prefer this to champagne , its lighter but really special .
Highly recommend Whelehans wines.
Bought a selection of wines for a friend’s birthday, all great quality and value, delivered on nominated date with gift card by the loveliest delivery driver! Thanks Whelehans, I’ll be sure to use you again!
Tastes this wine in France, fresh, crisp very nice and underrated.
Quite a dark and heavy red but beautiful flavours coming through. I'd recommend it with beef.
Great service , delivery and packaging. Top class
Originally needed for cooking, now this has become my special aperatif.
Great wine especially at this price point
Whelehans has done an amazing job of sourcing a mid-sized Champagne producer making phenomenal wine that rivals most of the big name houses. The reserve is particularly good value and I have bought it in three formats; half bottles as an aperitif, bottles for celebrating being alive , and magnums as well-received dinner gifts
I ordered this amazing product in the evening and received it the day after in the morning!! What an amazing service both me and my husband were shocked how fast it arrived! It’s an amazing experience !!
Pol Roger is my favourite of the large champagne houses. I ordered some from Australia to be delivered to my family who i would be staying with. Service was excellent. Thanks Whelan’s Wines, i’ll definitely order with you again
Very strong on the nose, smelling of overripe fruit; you can feel the 14% alcohol. On the palate it is much more balanced, but still a powerful wine, with significant grip, notes of dark fruit, leather, maybe a touch of tobacco, and generally a bit wild. Can tolerate very strong flavours of food. Chargrilled meat? Sure! Salt and vinegar crisps? No problem! Overall, well worth a punt, even for old-world skeptics!
A Juicy and round Malbec with soft tannins and some interesting, slightly vegetal notes adding more freshness and complexity. Enjoyed lightly chilled with a traditional roast chicken and some Provencal style roasted vegetables!
Beautiful Chardonnay champagne. Excellent service from Whelehans. They go the extra mile to satisfy customers .
This is a light ish red (12.5%), but with a little bit of tannin, making it feel like a good red for an Irish summer. It comes across as something between a Grenache and maybe a beujolais, but have others refer to this grape as being similar to Italian Nebbiolos. It’s not my favourite kind of red, but it’s eminently drinkable and very well made.
opened it on a sunny summer's evening, with a view to having a tasting glass. I was "assaulted" with a torrent of flavours - who would have thought the humble gamay grape could be so spectacular?! I took a chance on it and have to say, it is a fabulous wine. @27 euros, very good value.
