Clos de Tart – A Dinner for true Burgundophiles..
Three years ago, launching Clos de Tart as C & B’s ‘hot’ new exclusivity was a little harder work than we would like to have let on. A Domaine that we truly believed in but whose reputation had waned in the years before Sylvain Pitiot - current ‘master’ - arrived....
Read More A Dinner with Edouard Moueix
Dinner on Wednesday 20th April was one of those evenings for the then and now and one of those moments you look back upon with pleasure and fondness. We hosted a dinner alongside the ever-charismatic Edouard Moueix, at Home House on Portman Square, for our private customers. With fierce loyalty...
Read More Anne-Claude Leflaive is in Town…
Last thursday we were delighted to have Anne-Claude Leflaive over for a wonderful dinner at The Greenhouse. We started with the delicious Bourgogne Blanc 2005 as an aperitif. The wine was just starting to open up and worked well, some balanced richness starting to emerge, no rush at all but...
Read More Fizz ‘n’ Chips – The Launch of Salon ‘99

Read More Corney & Barrow’s Burgundy 09 Tasting at the Tower
Last Thursday saw the 5th C&B Burgundy tasting - not quite sure where the time has gone but the 2005 was a good vintage to start on. Nearly 300 customers managed to make it along to the Tower to taste – our largest tasting ever. I think people sometime have...
Read More Bonneau du Martray’s Jean-Charles is in Town
Last Thursday was Bonneau du Martray (BdM) day at C&B with Jean-Charles le Bault de la Morinière in town. For some crazy reason since we won the agency for the two wines of BdM - the 2009 is our 10th vintage - I have always managed to be away when...
Read More The World Wide Launch of Lodovico Antinori’s new project: Tenuta di Biserno (Exclusive to Corney & Barrow)
It is relatively rare to witness such excitement about Italian Wine at HQ, but then, this is no ordinary Italian Wine. This is Tenuta di Biserno, the new Tuscan estate from Lodovico Antinori. Lodovico is famed for his vinous triumphs Ornellaia and Masseto – the latter of which nestled itself...
