Welcome to our new look portfolio. Inside you will find an array of wines, Champagnes and Ports from well-known Chateaux, Houses, Domains and Estates with whom we have worked closely for many years. We have also gone behind the scenes to focus on some of the personalities and stories which have made these great producers unique.

Being part of a long established wine merchant with over 100 years of history means we strive continuously to deal with individual growers who are committed to producing top quality wines which are bottled at source. Our “grape to glass” philosophy is an uncompromising ethos of which we are very proud. It is fundamental to our business values and the core of our existence!

Based in Yorkshire, Cachet Wine is an independent family run agency company operating from our own modern purpose built bonded warehouse.

Our team have many years’ experience in the wine industry and they offer a professional, knowledgeable and friendly service. We specialise in supplying independent wholesalers, retailers and brewers on a duty-paid, in-bond or ex–cellar basis.

This gives us a competitive edge and a unique selling point to the independent trade which means that you will not find our wines within the multiple supermarkets. Hard work has been recognised by independent wine critics and many of our wines are award-winning.

SAUVIGNON BLANC

A shimmering green tinged colour, with an aromatic and fresh bouquet. On the palate there are flavours of citrus fruit combined with blackcurrant leaf aromas and a great roundness.

100% Sauvignon Blanc

We share the production of our Le Charme range between two winemakers who are specialists in their own region. Whilst this may be a little more difficult in terms of logistics, it is also a demonstration of how our own wines are not just bought off the shelf, but very much crafted to suit our own exacting standards. Christine Cabri has produced our Le Charme Sauvignon since 2008 and it continues to be one of our most popular wines. Winemaking was in her blood. Remembering her earliest emotion linked to wine she says; “Aged 5 years old, on the family vineyard I would taste the grape juice as it came out of the press – it was completely delicious!” The Le Charme Chardonnay, Merlot and Shiraz are produced in the Languedoc by Philippe Lebrun, one of the Languedoc’s crop of dynamic, flexible and forward thinking winemakers, who have responded to the onslaught of wine from the New World with relish.

Marilyn Lasserre is a genuine pioneer. Since she returned back to France in 2008, she has significantly contributed to the renewed success of Languedoc’s wines. Bringing her feminine touch to traditionally strong, rustic and full-bodied wines, Marilyn succeeded in improving quality and taste with a rigorous selection in the vineyards and perfect control of the winemaking process. Marilyn studied Viticulture and Oenology in Bordeaux, and has spent time working in various regions throughout the world. Les Argelières is a tribute to the “Terroir” from which we source these wines, a terroir mostly made of pebble and limestone perfectly exposed to the sun. It enhances the fruit aromas as well as the mineral style of the white wines, whilst giving the reds a vibrant fruit character.

VIOGNIER

Bright yellow with green hues, apricot and mango aromas mixed with a whiff of rose petals and almonds. A juicy palate with herbal hints and a lingering finish.

les argelières


Alain Grignon has been involved in the production of Languedoc wine for nearly thirty years. Most of the grapes for his red wines come from vineyards near Minervois in the North-East of the Languedoc, whilst the whites are produced in the cooler climate of the Gers. Alain combines the “terroir” of the Languedoc and the Gers regions, with the winemaking style of the Southern Hemisphere. Remaining faithful to the individual characteristics of each varietal he has given wines from Southern France a flavour of the New World.

Mastering the nuances of Southern French varietals and combining traditional and modern winemaking techniques, Xavier Roger produces wines to our own specification. They are superb examples of the very high quality that is now being produced in the South of France. Using the best parcels in the area, the quality of this range is truly outstanding and also demonstrates the great diversity that the Languedoc offers.

MVMARSANNE VIOGNIER

Thin soils, low yields and attention to detail by our ‘Guru’ winemaker, Xavier Roger, give this ripe, soft and balanced dry white an exotic and immensely pleasurable character. It offers sun ripened fruit flavours such as apricots, dessert apples and citrus, with a wonderful streak of balancing acidity.

domaine pierre cros

Domaine Pierre Cros is based in Badens, situated in the Minervois, surroundered by the Canal du Midi to the South and the Montagne Noire to the North. It is here in the intense heat of the southern sun that little else grows except vines and olive trees. And it is here that Pierre Cros, an ex Rugby player, cultivates his 20 hectares of vines including the classic Southern French varieties of Grenache, Carignan and Syrah. However, he is something of a maverick and a thorn in the side of the AOC authorities, as most unusually, he grows the non-permitted grape varieties of Nebbiolo (Italy), Touriga Nacional (Portugal) and Pinot Noir (Burgundy). Low yield and vines dating from 1905 contribute to the production of some extremely fascinating and popular wines which are deep and structured and very enjoyable.

LA LIBERTÉ TOURIGA NACIONAL

Dark ruby red. Highly complex with flavours and aromas of spice, coffee, fruit, laurel and thyme.Hearty, rustic and full flavoured. A great accompaniment with curry or other Asian dishes.

100% Touriga Nacional

LES MAL AIMÉS

Dark ruby red. This is an original wine with aromas of red fruit, garrigue, spices and hints of smoke. It is pleasantly silky and fresh on the palate. A brilliant accompaniment to fatty fish dishes made with spicy, red wine sauces.

domaine sylvain bailly

Dynamic Jacques Bailly, heir to a winemaking tradition dating back to the 1700s, and wife Marie-Hélène, cultivate an array of coveted vineyards around Bué in the heart of the eastern Loire appellation of Sancerre. In 2007 they were joined by their daughter Sonia, ensuring the continuity of this superb domaine. The style is fresh and grapey with a steely edge and a fine minerality. The cross of Saint Ursin, erected in 1877, is situated on the property and lends its name to the domaine's full title.

domaine jean thomas

SANCERRE TERROIRS

Crisp, steely and fresh with notes of mown grass, herbs mineral and citrus. Situated in the village of Bué this family estate comprises around 60 acres spread across the appellations of Quincy and Sancerre.


SANCERRE

Crisp, streely and fresh with distinct grassy notes that are the character of prime Sancerre. This wine has a little more depth and character in the mid-palate and a delicious acidity that keeps the wine fresh and interesting to the bottom of the bottle!

domaine laurent combier

The Combier family first moved from the Ardèche to the Rhône in 1936 when Camille Combier bought three hectares of vines in the Crozes-Hermitage appellation, and sold his wine to the Tain l'Hermitage co-operative. The domaine is now run by Laurent Combier, a very practical, open minded winemaker, who produces a lush, exuberant and rich style of wine. He believes that in order to make a great wine, he must allow nature to dictate his work in the vineyards, and bases his decisions on the soils, the living organisms and the lunar calendar. His 13 hectares of vineyards, situated on the ‘Les Chassis’ plateau are farmed organically. The modern winery, built in 1990, is situated between Tain l’Hermitage and Pont de l’Isère. If you love pure, unadulterated, concentrated Syrah, look no further!

domaine etienne pochon

CROZES-HERMITAGE 'CLOS DES GRIVES'

Aged for 12 months in oak casks, of which 40% are new. The wine is bottled without filtration. A lovely rich, smooth palate full of red berry fruit and overtones of wood smoke. Produced from a 9.5 hectare Clos (walled vineyard) this is Laurent Combier’s top cuvée.

This is aged both in stainless steel tanks and small barrels before final blending. A deep bouquet with stunning blackberry aromas. Concentrated cassis, rich and juicy with a lovely textured palate.

This is a typical Crozes Hermitage made by a passionate winegrower. Etienne makes wine with lots of character, fruit and charm. White pepper & liquorice on the nose. Deep red fruits, blackcurrant with velvety tannins, nice round with a long & fresh finish.

domaines brunier

The Brunier family have developed a wonderful portfolio of magnificent domaines including Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe one of the great estates of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The Domaine has about 45 hectares of vines planted, with an average age of around 55 years. Blessed with one of the finest locations in the area, the particularly hot microclimate is such that the Brunier Family, owners of this domaine for almost a century, are able to harvest as much as a week ahead of their neighbours. When the Brunier family purchased the domaine back in 1998 this great property had fallen on hard times. Years of painstaking work in the vineyards followed. Terraces were built and reinforced, allowing for better water retention. A new winery was built to receive the harvested parcels individually in gravity-fed tanks. Finally as the Bruniers began to fully understand the vineyards at Pallières the many lieux-dits, once blended into one cuvée of Gigondas, were separated into two, starting with the 2007 vintage.

MÉGAPHONE

A bright style, with impressive black cherry, black raspberry, spice, pomegranate and floral notes. Backed by light anise and violet hints. Shows a racy edge through the finish.

domaine testut

We have worked closely with Cyril Testut for many years now. Quiet, considered and deeply passionate about his 13ha domaine, he is the proprietor of one of the real jewels of the Chablis region that sits in the top echelons of the Chablis hierarchy. His Chablis vineyards are perfectly situated - squeezed between the Grand Cru of Blanchot and the 1er Cru of Montée de Tonnerre. It is arguably the finest Chablis AC vineyard in the region. The small parcel of the famous Grand Cru Grenouilles returned to the Testut family only a few years ago. Back in 1970’s the vineyards were leased, due to internal family squabbles, and were held by William Fèvre for 30 years. It is now back in the hands of one of Chablis’ finest domaines.

CHABLIS

A complex wine with excellent mineral structure allowing it to retain its typical dry mineral and white fruit aromas for a number of years.

100% Chardonnay

CHABLIS 1ER CRU MONTÉE DE TONNERRE

A smoky, elegant and beautifully layered nose exhibits white flower, citrus, pear and a top note of mineral reduction. The tension-filled medium-bodied flavours are at once sleekly, powerful and refined before leading into in a textured, intense and impressively persistent finish.

100% Chardonnay

CHABLIS GRAND CRU “GRENOUILLE”

A relatively discreet touch of wood frames a ripe and ever-so-mildly exotic nose of mostly dried yellow fruit. There is a seductive, even succulent mouth feel to the caressing medium weight flavours, exuding a fine bead of minerality on the attractively intense, balanced and lingering finish.

100% Chardonnay


domaine daniel dampt

CHABLIS

Produced from two parcels - one 13 year old vines and the other 58 year old vines. A soft and easy style full of ripe, quenching tropical fruits, balanced with a firm but not overpowering acidity. If you like a fruity style of Chablis, this is the one.

100% Chardonnay

CHABLIS 1ER CRUCÔTE DE LÊCHET

This vineyard, set on a stony clay subsoil, has a great aspect and the fruit normally shows a great degree of ripeness and generosity. This wine is bursting with ripe apple aromas. The palate is intense, rich and loaded with pineapple and tropical fruits with an appealing minerality on the finish.

100% Chardonnay

domaine marronniers

Laurent and Marie-Noëlle Ternynck acquired this lovely domaine from Bernard Legland in 2013. They have invested well and strive for perfection each vintage by expressing the traditional soils of Chablis. The only change in winemaking is the move to using wild yeasts during the fermentation process, thereby elevating the terroir character of Chablis in the wine. This is a super little domaine that produces wines of great typicity.

CHABLIS

Produced from 10 different parcels from vines of between 25-30 years old. A classic, tightly knit wine with a steely backbone and overtones of apple and herb. Brilliantly racy on the finish.

100% Chardonnay

CHABLIS 1ER CRU MONTMAINS

Tight, taut and closed for the time being on the bouquet. The palate is more open, revealing a luscious, ripe fruit and super equilibrium.

domaine merlin

Domaine Olivier Merlin is owned by Corinne and Olivier Merlin, who settled in the Mâcon area in 1987. Today it extends over more than 15 hectares in the Mâconnais region and in the Moulin à Vent appellation, with 10.5 hectares owned and another 4.5 hectares worked under a tenancy agreement. Aware of the importance of ensuring a smooth succession on the domaine, they are delighted to announce that their two sons have now joined the family business. Winemakers, Paul and Théo Merlin, will be producing their first vintage on the Domaine in 2018. In January 1987, Corinne and Olivier Merlin decided to settle in the Mâcon area and they took over an old wine domaine in La Roche Vineuse, "This is where we decided to live and work, not due to a family inheritance, but because we like it here", says the couple.

MOULIN-À-VENT 'LA ROCHELLE'

A deeply and intensely coloured wine. Attractive aromatic expression of spices (pepper) and well-ripened cherry. In the mouth, highly concentrated with well-marked but velvety tannins. Attractive aromatic expression of spices and well-ripened cherry.

100% Gamay

MÂCON LA ROCHE-VINEUSE ROUGE

We have never found a better Mâcon Rouge than this! A 1ha plot, the vines were planted back in 1932 and are extremely low yielding. A beautiful jammy bouquet with quite fantastic aromatics, juicy and fruity on the palate – this is a great lunchtime wine.

cave de buxy

Established in 1931, the Caves de Vignerons de Buxy is based in the Côte Chalonnaise, 46km south of Beaune. The vineyards are managed by 120 families who are rewarded for the quality of their grapes rather than the quantity that they produce. Strict viticultural guidelines are followed with a programme of continual vineyard assessments. It is very rare that one can equate Burgundy with affordability as well as quality; however this top Cave Co-operative can certainly lay this claim.

BOURGOGNE CÔTE CHALONNAISE CHARDONNAY

A light and golden hue, the bouquet is zesty with grapefruit and citrus aromas. The palate is deceivingly weighty and provides a beautiful expression of the Chardonnay grape with a creamy texture and an underling butteriness.

Domaine Sérafin Père & Fils is run by second-generation vigneron Christian Sérafin. Christian is now in his later years and his niece, Frédérique Bachotet, who has been working alongside her uncle for over ten years, is now very much the winemaking driving force.The house and cellars are situated just below the premier cru vineyard Les Cazetiers, at the top of the wine-growing village of Gevrey-Chambertin, in Burgundy’s legendary Côte d’Or region. The domaine encompasses 5.3 hectares of vines in the communes Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-St.-Denis, and Chambolle-Musigny, including plots in numerous well-placed premier cru vineyards. The viticulture is completely organic. These wines are hand crafted, with old vines and low yields central to his winemaking philosophy.

domaine machard de gramont

This 20 hectare family estate is managed by Arnaud Machard de Gramont and his two sons Alban and Alexis. The cellars are located in Prissey, a neighboring hamlet of Nuits-St-Georges. These cellars were built in the XIXth century. Their superb vaults give a "cathedral" effect to the winery. The 20 hectares of vineyards cover an impressive range of appellations spanning 50 kilometres, from Chenôve (south of Dijon) to Puligny-Montrachet of Beaune. This domaine is a great source of Burgundy at sensible prices. “Value for money” is not something that is often associated with the wines of the Côte d’Or, however, we have dealt with this family domaine for many years for our commercial Burgundy needs – it offers more individuality than most négociants and consistently performs well.

PULIGNY-MONTRACHET ‘LES HOUILLÈRES’

Produced from a 2/3 ha plot purchased a number of years ago from Louis Chavy. Zingy, ripe and vibrant, rich and creamy on the palate with pineapple and grapefruit blending superbly.

100% Chardonnay

GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN ‘PRESSONNIER’

Domaine Guy Amiot’s work springs from a long tradition begun in the 1920's under the direction of founder Arsène Amiot. Arsène started acquiring parcels in Chassagne in the 1920's and under his direction Domaine Amiot became one of the first domaines in Burgundy to bottle their own wines. By the time Guy Amiot took over in 1985, the domaine had built up very impressive holdings and had passed the knowledge of how to best care for the vines down from generation to generation. Their work in the vineyards is exemplary and has led to a solid consistency in the wines. Guy’s sons Thierry and Fabrice are now running the domaine and are taking it to the very top level. The wines of this domaine age particularly well, largely due to the serious acidity and minerality that so epitomise them when tasting from barrel.

CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET VIEILLES VIGNES

There is plenty of weight to this wine which displays the attractive flesh of the year with a little lemony acidity. All is in balance; this is an attractive, harmonious Chassagne.

100% Chardonnay

PULIGNY-MONTRACHET 1ER CRU LES DEMOISELLES

This vineyard is situated next to Chevalier Montrachet and is planted with 40 year old vines and benefits from 50% new oak for 12 months followed by 6 months in cuve.

domaine hubert lamy

Created back in 1973 by Hubert Lamy, this domaine has been run by his son, Olivier, since 1996 following his training at Domaine Meo Camuzet. He immediately introduced the changes that have ultimately elevated this domaine into the higher echelons of Burgundian winemaking. He ceased selling grapes to négociants and sold off peripheral vineyards to concentrate on the oldest and best sites. High density planting was introduced to glean as much expression of terroir as possible and selection tables were introduced into the cuverie to ensure that only the finest grapes are used. His more recent move to reduce the amount of new oak and the introduction of demi-muids (300-600lt barrels) has also helped to improve the wines at this domaine and resulted in a greater propensity to age. Olivier adapts his winemaking to the vintage.

Gardet was established in 1895 by Charles Gardet in Chigny-Les-Roses, in the heart of the Montagne de Reims. It was sold to the Prieux family in 2007. The Prieuxs have invested in the business, but wisely retained the features of the style of wine made over the years, only slightly refining it to be a little more forward-drinking with more fruit freshness and balance. The house owns around 7 ha of premier cru vineyards around their home villages of Chigny-Les-Roses, Luds and Rilly la Montage. The long tirage time and the use of a high proportion of reserve wine has marked the house style, and in fact is a distinguishing feature of Champagne Gardet.

rioja vega

Initially started as the dream of Don Felipe Ugalde in 1882, this winery has seen ongoing growth and development over the years. Don Felipe’s aim was simple, to be one of the country’s most prestigious Bodegas. His winery passed down the family line, and it was through marriage that it became united with Bodegas Muerza. In 2001 a new winery, 10km outside Logroño, complete with an underground ageing cellar was built. The new cellars incorporate modern equipment such as self-weighing hoppers, pneumatic presses and self-emptying stainless steel vats. Winemaker Esperanza Elias provides a feminine touch to the winemaking style as well as producing a fascinating range of small batch wines including 9 Barricas, Tempranillo Blanco and GG (Garnacha Y Graciano).

The vision began in the air. That’s where founder Chris Pask – flying in the cockpit of his topdressing plane – first saw the potential for growing exceptional grapes in the light, stony soils of the ancient Ngaruroro riverbed. Chris established the first plantings in the Gimblett Gravels region in 1981, and in 1985, the first vintage was produced and the Pask brand family label was established. More than three decades later, C J Pask are as passionate as ever about making authentic wines to be shared and enjoyed. The award-winning winemaking team use sustainable methods ensure the quality and consistency of their wines. Jeff Clarke was appointed as Head Winemaker in 2017, and began his winemaking career in Australia, working as a head winemaker before returning to New Zealand.

The picturesque 160-hectare farm that is today known as Avondale has been under cultivation for more than 300 years. Early records show that the land was one of the first in the Paarl Valley to be allocated specifically for the production of wine grapes. Avondale is now home to the Grieve Family and 25 farm worker families. Johnathan Grieve has developed a holistic approach to wine farming known as Biologic, which combines biodynamic and organic principles with modern science, and constantly asking the question; “Would Mother Nature approve?” “Terre Est Vita” is his ethos, which means ‘soil is life’. Simple methods are used, such as using a posse of ducks to eat the snails that target the vines – AKA Snail Assassins! Wasps are released to prey on the mealy bug. Chemicals and fertilizers are shunned and cover crops are grown to restore the nitrogen levels in the soil. Quirky? Yes – Great wines? Undoubtedly!

Longboard was born from the passion of Oded Shakked, surfer first, winemaker later, who brings a unique perspective to winemaking, or rather winegrowing as he prefers to call it. Longboard believes that great tasting wines are those that are true to the people and place that grew them. Thus, they extend the notion of “terroir” to include the human aspect, not just the soils, climate and weather.

Perfect for those who enjoy a sweeter rosé, this has ripe, juicy flavours of watermelon and strawberry which lead to a long sweet finish.

100% Zinfandel

CHARDONNAY

Refined aromas of green apple, pear and lemon peel with a flinty note reminiscent of Chablis. Its elegant palate echoes the bouquet with clean, bright flavours of stone fruit and citrus, backed by firm acidity where oak is an afterthought.

100% Chardonnay
