| Who
we are
Leon Stolarski
Fine Wines is a family-run company, created in 2003 and run by Leon
and his wife of 25 years, Diane. We specialise in (and,
in the majority of cases, are the sole U.K importers of) wines from
some of the best small growers in southern and central France.
Much has already been said about the quality of our wines by such esteemed writers as Jancis Robinson M.W, Tom Cannavan, Tim Atkin M.W, Richard Ehrlich, Joanna Simon, Jamie Goode and Neal
Martin of eRobertParker.com.
New wines are added to our list on a regular basis, so
please keep checking back, as we continue to bring you yet more great new wine discoveries in 2010.
And don't forget the Leon Stolarski Blog,
for news, reviews, tasting notes, musings and the odd rant about
numerous wine-related (and also a few non-wine-related) issues.

Rhône, Alsace, Burgundy and California
In February, we added some
top-notch Cornas from Noel Verset and Côte-Rôtie
from Gilles Barge, Alsace Riesling and Pinot
Gris from Rolly
Gassmann, and some brilliant red and
white Mâcons from Domaine
Guillot-Broux. And a new
departure for us is a range of outstanding Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon,
Syrah, Zinfandel and Chardonnay from California's iconic Joseph
Swan Vineyards
Two new growers - both biodynamic!
In March, we added a selection
of wines from two very special growers new to our list - Domaine
de La Marfée in Murviel-Les-Montpellier, and Mas Foulaquier, one of the very best growers
in Pic Saint-Loup. Both are amongst the Languedoc's
finest exponents of biodynamic viticulture. We also have new vintages
from Domaine
d'Archimbaud in Saint Saturnin
- perhaps the finest yet produced by one of Languedoc's most underrated
growers.
Lots of new Roussillon wines
In April, we took delivery
of new vintages from our Roussillon growers. Domaine
Sol-Payré and Domaine
Pietri-Geraud are as exciting
and reliable as ever, whilst the fabulous Domaine
Treloar goes from strength to strength.
And we now have a bigger selection of wines from Mas
de Lavail than ever before, including
no less than 3 stunning sweet wines.
