Domaine Direct treasures

Image

Domaine Direct is an admirable, relatively small London wine merchant specialising in importing and distributing high-quality wine, mainly but not exclusively French. Burgundy is a speciality, not least because of the expertise of co-founder Simon Taylor-Gill who has spent much of his life there. The company is run by another Burgundy (and Beaujolais) fanatic Hilary Gibbs whom I run into every now and then at Coche-Dury (Domaine Direct is branché).

Since its inception in 1981 Domaine Direct has added various top-quality wines from California, South Africa and Australia, including being UK importer for Leeuwin Estate.
