Questions we get asked

Almost everything on the list is six bottles of the same wine, and that is deliberate. Buying one bottle of something good tells you nothing except that you have finished it. Six gives you the wine on a Tuesday and again at Christmas, and by the third one you actually know what you think.

There are singles on the list. They tend to be the older bottles and the large formats, where one is the point. And if you want six different wines rather than six of one, that is what the mixed cases are for.

No. You can buy a single gift carton at £3.50 if that is genuinely all you want. What changes with the size of the order is the delivery: £9.95 up to £150, and nothing above it.

Ask. Tim spends most of his time hunting bottles, and the list is what he currently holds rather than the limit of what he can get. Ring 07986 965576 or email info@mosseandmosse.co.uk and tell us what you are after. If we can get it we will tell you what it costs and when. If we cannot, we will say so rather than sell you something adjacent.

Wine moves. Where a listing shows two vintages we are shipping whichever we currently hold, and we tell you which before it leaves. If something sells out between your order and our confirmation we ring you. We do not substitute it for something we think is close enough.

£9.95 to UK mainland addresses, and free on orders of £150 and over. Two to three working days. Most single cases clear the £150 on their own, so most orders go out with nothing on top.

Yes, and they have to be 18 or over. We sell alcohol, so the driver cannot leave it with a neighbour, in a porch or behind a bin. If nobody will be home, put a work address on the order, or tell us in the notes and we will work round it.

The £9.95 rate covers UK mainland only. For the Highlands and Islands, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands, ring Tim before you order and we will tell you what it costs to get to you. We do not ship outside the UK.

Yes, and we do a lot of it every December. It is not something the basket can do, because the moment there are twelve addresses and four different boxes it stops being a form and starts being a conversation. Tell us the shape of it and Tim will price it.

By card, when you order. Press Buy now on any wine, tell us where it's going, then pay on the card form, which is run by Square. Your card details go straight to Square and never reach us, and we don't store them. Tim will then be in touch to confirm your delivery. We'll never ask for your card number by email, phone or text message. If anyone does, it isn't us.

Yes. Every price on this site is in pounds sterling and includes UK VAT and duty. Delivery is the only thing charged on top, and only below £150.

We replace it. Tell us as soon as you find it, and keep the cork and the bottle if you can, because it helps us go back to the producer. If it arrived broken, keep the packaging and send us a photograph.

You have 14 days from the day it arrives to cancel. You do not have to give a reason. The wine comes back unopened and in a condition we can sell, you cover the return postage unless it was faulty or we sent the wrong thing, and we refund the wine and the standard delivery charge within 14 days of getting it back.

Ring us and ask. Tim buys for drinking windows rather than for scores, so he already has a view on every case in the building, and two minutes on the phone will get you a straighter answer than any chart.

On its side, somewhere cool, dark and reasonably steady. Steady matters more than cold: a cupboard that sits at fifteen degrees all year is kinder to a bottle than a rack that swings from eight to twenty five every time the heating comes on. Keep it away from direct sunlight and away from anything that vibrates.

It is a good part of what we do. One customer has been sending customer and staff Christmas boxes with Tim for twenty five years, out to a lot of different addresses each December.

It works as a conversation rather than a basket, and we are happy to arrange a tasting before you commit to anything. Tell us the shape of it: how many, roughly what a head, how many addresses, and when it needs to land.

Yes. Put it in the notes when you order, or tell Tim on the phone, and it goes in with the wine.

Yes — and we've designed the entire experience to impress both the giver and the recipient.

We specialise in hand-selected, presentation-ready wine gifts that go far beyond the typical off-the-shelf hamper. Each case is curated by region, grape, and drinking profile, featuring wines with provenance, age, and storytelling built in — perfect for executive gifting, client thank-yous, team rewards, and holiday gifting campaigns.

Fine wines only — no filler bottles, ever. From aged Bordeaux and Burgundy to Grand Cru Champagne, every inclusion is handpicked. Need all-red, or Burgundy only? We curate cases to match your brief, budget, and tone. Many options include wooden cases, gift-ready boxes, and branded inserts.

We also handle multi-address delivery for bulk orders — so whether you're sending 1 or 100 gifts, the process is seamless.

Popular gift cases include our 'Explore Burgundy, Bordeaux & Rioja' mixed case, Champagne & Fine Rosé duos, and Magnum & Jeroboam format showcase gifts. Contact us directly for bespoke orders.

For corporate customers, the most popular premium wine gifts are those that deliver instant impact, quality assurance, and lasting impression.

Mixed Bordeaux & Burgundy Gift Cases are perfect for partners, clients, and executive teams — often featuring Léoville Barton, Gruaud Larose, Chambolle Musigny, Pommard, and Chassagne-Montrachet.

Champagne Duos & Large Formats — nothing says celebration like Bollinger or Ayala in magnum or gift boxes. Ideal for holiday gifting, award ceremonies, or major milestones.

Curated Regional Collections such as 'Best of Burgundy', 'Château Spotlight', or 'Left Bank Showcase' are built to reflect prestige.

High-End Wooden Gift Boxes (OWC) — for directors and ultra-premium clients. These aren't just gifts, they're legacy items.

We handle multi-address delivery, tailored quantity pricing, and private consultations for large gifting strategies.

If you're looking to buy Pauillac Bordeaux wines in the UK — not just young bottles, but serious, age-ready clarets that have hit their stride — you need a wine merchant who understands vintage, provenance, and peak drinkability.

We specialise in Left Bank Bordeaux, with a sharp focus on Pauillac's top-tier producers including Château Batailley, Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, Château Pontet-Canet, and Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste.

Our strength lies in sourcing cellar-matured Pauillac wines — vintages that reveal Pauillac's signature profile: blackcurrant, cigar box, graphite, and that unmistakable power-meets-elegance finish. These are age-worthy reds you can enjoy now or lay down for another 5–10 years.

Unlike supermarkets or mass distributors, we vet provenance rigorously and only offer wines we'd personally cellar. Each bottle comes with expert drinkability guidance — because knowing when to drink a Bordeaux can be as important as knowing which one to buy.

We offer secure fine wine delivery across the UK, bottle-aged Pauillac wines ready to drink, and personal sourcing for rare vintages upon request.

You can buy Leoville Barton and other top Saint-Julien Bordeaux labels online right here at Mosse & Mosse, a merchant trusted by private collectors and trade insiders for over 25 years.

Our Saint-Julien range includes Château Léoville Barton — known for structure, longevity, and value among Second Growths — Château Gruaud Larose with deep, earthy complexity and cigar-box elegance, Château Langoa Barton for classic Saint-Julien typicity at a compelling price point, and Château Branaire-Ducru for sleek, aromatic character with polished tannins.

We focus on back vintages with bottle age — age-worthy claret that's hitting or nearing its peak. Every bottle has a paper trail, sourced directly or through A-tier merchants to ensure authenticity. We also stock collector-grade formats, from 75cl classics to magnums and original wooden cases (OWC).

Vintage guidance is included with every purchase — we'll tell you whether your 2010 needs air, your 2005 is ready, or your 2016 should wait five more years.

The UK market is flooded with young vintages, but if you're after a bottle that's peaking now, you need guidance on vintage, producer, and ageing curve.

We specialise in aged, Left Bank Bordeaux with real drinkability. Our current ready-to-drink Margaux selections often include Château Kirwan 2014 with silky tannins and cedar spice, Charmes de Kirwan 2016 (second wine) — plush, expressive, and already integrated — and Château du Moulin Rouge 2018 with vibrant red fruit and light oak, ideal for casual fine dining.

We tag these bottles as 'Drink Now' or 'Approaching Peak' — backed by both AI-predicted maturity curves and our team's personal tasting logs.

Margaux is known for elegance — high-toned fruit, floral aromatics, fine tannins. But if it's too young, you'll miss the perfume. We filter out anything that's not performing now, looking at label condition, storage history, and critic consensus on vintage readiness.

These are not wines you grab off the rack — they're about complexity, evolution, and structure softened by time.

We specialise in Right Bank Bordeaux with bottle age — wines that have already developed those coveted notes of leather, truffle, dried cherry, and forest floor. Our inventory includes Château Canon 2017 (Grand Cru Classé Saint-Émilion with elegance and tension), Château La Fleur de Bouard 2012 (rich Lalande-de-Pomerol, plush and mature), Château La Croix du Casse 2016 (powerful, modern-style Pomerol ready to drink), and Château Belles-Graves 2016 (expressive, Merlot-driven and in its prime).

We actively source low-availability vintages from trusted channels — often in original wooden cases (OWC) and always with verified provenance.

Saint-Émilion and Pomerol are Merlot-dominant, and Merlot softens beautifully with time — bringing richness, velvet texture, and umami-friendly earthiness. We tag all bottles by drinkability status: 'Mature', 'At Peak', or 'Hold or Drink', so you know exactly what to open now and what to hold for 5+ years.

Burgundy is a masterclass in balance, and different styles call for different dishes.

White Burgundy (Chardonnay) from villages like Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, Chablis, Montagny, and Pernand-Vergelesses tends toward creamy, nutty, citrus, and flinty flavours. Top food matches include roast chicken with tarragon, grilled turbot or halibut, and tagliatelle with morels and cream.

Red Burgundy (Pinot Noir) from Gevrey-Chambertin, Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pommard, and Volnay offers red cherry, forest floor, soft tannins, and earthy minerality. Top food matches include duck breast with plum jus, wild mushroom risotto, and roast pork with mustard glaze.

At Mosse & Mosse, we factor in vintage variation, oak influence, and serving temperature to guide you toward the right bottle for the right dish — not just the right grape. Looking to pair a Premier Cru Puligny-Montrachet with lobster, or match a 2018 Gevrey with venison loin? Ring Tim and he'll guide you.

The difference comes down to provenance, vintage depth, and expertise — not just who has it in stock.

We specialise in terroir-driven Chardonnay from Burgundy's most revered villages: Puligny-Montrachet (precise, mineral, age-worthy), Meursault (rich, nutty, layered), Chassagne-Montrachet (smoky, round, structured), Saint Aubin (almond, flint, white flowers — elegant and rich), and Savigny-lès-Beaune Blanc (fresh, floral, great value).

We stock both current and back vintages, often in original wooden cases (OWC) and large formats, with drinking windows clearly marked. Every listing includes detailed tasting notes, AI-paired food suggestions, and bottle condition status.

Our Côte de Beaune Chardonnays come from producers including Albert Bichot, Domaine Chanson, Château de Meursault, Joseph Pascal, Gérard Thomas, Domaine Seve, and Jean-Jacques Girard. We also offer secure UK-wide delivery, corporate gifting options, and private consultation for collectors building verticals by village or vintage.

You need more than just access — you need curation, condition, and credibility.

We stock high-quality, age-worthy Burgundy wines sourced specifically for collectors who value single-vineyard and Premier Cru provenance, bottle condition (label, ullage, capsule), verticals and back-vintage availability, and producers with proven long-term value.

Highlights from our range include Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru (Chanson, Seve, Lupe-Cholet) with precise minerality and long ageing curves; Pommard 'Les Charmots' and Clos des Ursulines — structured, cellarable, and highly sought after; Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches and Bressandes; and Savigny-lès-Beaune and Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru, which are hidden gems with huge upside.

For every bottle we carry, we provide expert notes on optimal drinking windows, AI-informed ageing predictions, and original wooden cases and magnums where available. We can also assist with private sourcing, custom mixed cases, and corporate collector gifts.

Yes — we offer AI-powered flavour profiling for both Albert Bichot and Chanson wines, giving you next-level clarity on what to expect in the glass before you even uncork the bottle.

AI systems analyse structured datasets from professional critic scores, vintage weather patterns, barrel ageing data, and known aromatic/flavour compounds. We then map out primary aromas, texture and body, optimal serving temperature, and food pairing suggestions.

For example, Albert Bichot Mercurey Blanc 2020 profiles as green apple, wet stone, and light oak toast with medium acidity — pair with crab cakes, lemon risotto, or aged comté. Chanson Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru 2019 shows cherry skin, dried rose petal, clove spice, and silky tannins — pair with duck breast, mushroom tart, or roast pork.

We believe AI tasting models can enhance how wine is discovered — but they need context. That's why our notes always blend data-backed descriptors, vintage variation awareness, and our own team's tasting validations.

You can buy Bollinger Champagne online in gift packaging right here at Mosse & Mosse, where we offer exclusive formats, limited-edition presentation cases, and fast UK-wide delivery.

Bollinger isn't just Champagne — it's heritage, structure, and deep Pinot Noir character. Our Bollinger gift offerings include the Special Cuvée 75cl in original Bollinger gift boxes (elegant, iconic, and ready for immediate gifting), the Special Cuvée Jeroboam 3L in Red Wooden Box (for statement celebrations — limited stock only), the Rosé Magnum en Carton (1.5L — a bold pick for events, weddings, and private gifting), and the Bollinger + Rosé + Glassware Gift Box including 2 Elizabeth glasses and one 75cl bottle — a best-seller for corporate and seasonal gifting.

Salmanazar, Balthazar, and Nebuchadnezzar format Bollinger are available by request or limited release only.

All bottles are condition-checked with pristine packaging. We also offer corporate Champagne accounts with branded inserts, holiday bundles, and direct-to-client dispatch across the UK.

AI tools are beginning to reshape how we understand Pauillac wine ageing, and at Mosse & Mosse we pair AI-driven vintage modelling with decades of real-world cellar experience.

Modern AI wine age prediction tools analyse thousands of tasting notes, critic scores, climate data, and vinification styles to forecast when a wine enters its drinking window, how long it will remain at peak maturity, and whether it's likely to improve or decline in the bottle.

But AI can't taste. It can't smell cork taint. It doesn't know how your bottle was stored. That's why we provide AI-informed drinking windows enhanced by expert verification — particularly important with Pauillac, a commune famous for structure, tannin, and long ageing curves.

We tag our Pauillac wines by 'Ready to Drink', 'Lay Down', or 'Entering Maturity' so you don't need to guess. Every listing includes the projected drinking window — built from both AI modelling and old-school insight. Ring Tim if you'd like a bottle-by-bottle view of what's in the cellar.

No, sorry. There's no shop at Fentons Farm and we can't do collections, so everything goes out by delivery. If you're planning a corporate order, Tim can arrange a tasting first.
