At 234 years old, Corney & Barrow is one of the longest established Independent Wine Merchants in the UK. In 1780 Edward Bland Corney's shop in London's Old Broad Street was opened. In 1838, Edward’s son Thomas introduced his cousin Robert Barrow to the business. The Corney & Barrow name was born.

Corney & Barrow currently holds two Royal Warrants, as suppliers to HM Queen Elizabeth II and HRH The Prince of Wales. They are the only wine company to have held three Royal Warrants concurrently, as suppliers to HM Queen Elizabeth II, HRH The Prince of Wales and formerly, the late HM Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother.

Cunard has collaborated with this leading independent wine merchant to offer carefully-selected, honestly-priced wines that not only deliver quality and value for money, but also a sense of place. Corney & Barrow offer benchmark styles; wines which they believe to be the best examples of a wine style, country, region or sub-region.

From the exceptional wine list you find before you, Corney & Barrow has selected their premium recommendations.

Since its foundation in 1772, the Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin House has remained true to its motto “only one quality, the finest”. Its history carries the mark of an exceptional woman; Barbe Nicole Ponsardin, Madame Veuve Clicquot. She was uncompromising on quality and set off to conquer

the world, transmitting her taste for excellence and innovation to her successors.

Champagne Delamotte & Salon.

Champagne Delamotte is a small producer of champagne in the grand cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. It is not only one of the oldest champagne houses, but also, arguably, one of the most refined in style and pedigree. This is hardly surprising, considering Delamotte’s status as sister house of the legendary Salon Champagne, perhaps the world’s finest and rarest blanc de blancs champagne, produced only in exceptional vintages.

Alsace. Burgundy.

Burgundy.

The style of wine reflects Alsace’s rather complicated history, that of a region which has changed nationality six times in 300 years. There are obvious Germanic influences yet the wines here are unique, more powerful, drier than those of Germany and with quite a different mineral definition. Slow as a region to appreciate precisely how valuable their

ingredients are, growers are now addressing the idea of typicity and a sense of place with zealotic enthusiasm. These wines offer exceptional value.

Burgundy’s complexity and tremendous diversity are the result of geological accident. Centuries ago, faulting tore the great valley apart, easing the passage of the nearby Saône River. The slope thus formed is irregular and intricate making for a rich

tapestry with which to create stunning Burgundy. Burgundy begins in Chablis, isolated some 80 miles north of the rest of the region with its very individual terroir. The region then extends over some 180 miles of varied, spectacular countryside,

as far as Lyon in the south, via the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise, the Mâconnais and Beaujolais.

Bordeaux.Today’s Bordeaux wines face many challenges in a world where wines are increasingly accessible, flattering the taster –

a far cry from the rather stoical classicism for which Bordeaux is best known, creating wines to last. They do say however that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and Bordeaux blends are emulated the world over. Despite all of

the technical know-how available, the fact remains that what makes Bordeaux special is unique to Bordeaux; a complex geological, meteorological and geographical mix which cannot be copied. Bordeaux wines, produced with respect for

their origins, are special. Happily, an increasing number of producers are coming to realise that they are better off perfecting what they have rather than trying to copy the power of warmer climes. Vintages are naturally different and

are all the better for that – great food wines.

The Loire, stretching over 600 miles, is the longest river in France, and travelling through no fewer than 12 departements, it is small wonder that the scope for different styles of wine is so wide. The Loire Valley has a marginal climate reliant on south-facing slopes with sunshine reflected on stone, streams and sheltered oasis. The Loire is home to some of the world’s most famous wines; Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé from the central valley to Anjou-Saumur with its warmer

Atlantic influence ideal for sweet whites, rosés and sparkling wines.

Rhône.

Languedoc - Roussillon.

The northern and southern areas of the Rhône Valley differ so much in terms of geology, topography and climate that they ought to be considered two different regions. The northern area, with its steep, granitic slopes planted with

terraced staked vines produces perhaps the finest reds from Syrah and Condrieu from Viognier. The southern area takes on a more Mediterranean style where vineyards are planted with a myriad of varieties with a distinctive southern French

character. Both areas of the valley benefit from the cooling Mistral wind, allowing for greater freshness than would ordinarily be expected this far south.

Languedoc-Roussillon is the central region in the south of France. More relaxed wine laws here allow wine makers to be much more experimental in terms of blends and styles, making this an incredibly exciting wine region, with lots of

hidden gems and wide ranging styles of wines. About a quarter of all vines in France are found in this region and it is the largest vine growing region in the world. Following huge investments since the 1970s, this has become one of the most

successful wine regions in France.

Located on the Mediterranean coast, Provence is quite a small region, but its impact is profound. It is alleged that this is one of the oldest wine regions in France, traced back some 2,600 years. Rosé is the real star from the region, and the region boasts a research institute dedicated to this style of wine. Further south still is the Island of Corsica with its Vine de Corse wine appellation. Production on the Island is around half rosé, a third red and the remainder white. Corsica is

home to some interesting local varieties well worth discovering.

England, Austria And Germany.

Germany produces some of the world’s finest white wines, presenting natural, grapey richness complemented by racy acidity. Riesling is king here, offering purity and precision. Producers run the gauntlet of nurturing vines in a very

marginal climate, at the absolute limit of where grapes will ripen. This is both a constant threat and a magnificent opportunity as vine and man both struggle to balance two essential but dangerous elements in fine wine – acidity and ripeness. At their best, such wines can be electric and the perfect complement to a vast array of dishes and even some

trickier ingredients. Hugely versatile, these are great food wines.

England.Vignerons are special people indeed. Taking on Mother Nature requires real strength of character but one might

question the (in)sanity of attempting to make wine in a climate as unpredictable as England’s. So, how to be a winemaker in Blighty? Exact ingredients and timings may vary but start with a dream, a few spoonfuls of fervent

conviction, equal patience of spirit, top it up with sheer dogged determination and you have the basic recipe. There is no doubt that winemakers with the mettle are learning fast. While the concept of English wine seems to be causing

a degree of mirth across the channel, it is interesting to note how many champenois are investing in vineyards on the chalk rich soils of England’s southern counties.

Italy.

It is hard to imagine a more exciting or varied wine-producing country than Italy. With a vibrant winemaking history spanning over 2,000 years, and vineyards stretching from the Alps through the Apennine mountains to Sicily, the Italian

peninsula is home to an enormous range of climates, topographies and soil types hosting hundreds of distinctive grapes unique to Italy. It is hardly surprising then, that Italy’s wine range is so diverse, spanning all colours and styles, from dry to

sweet, still wine to sparkling wine, and everything in between.

Spain And Portugal.

Spain offers all manner of styles of wine, reflecting the country’s hugely varied topography, geology, climate and microclimates. Today there is real excitement as new dynamic producers turn their backs on bulk production, instead

working to the strengths of the country, pushing the boundaries and creating fresher, characterful wines with real personality. Portugal is on a roll – well overdue. Loved by the wine press and, despite the rate of exchange, offering

great value,it is also a low wine-miles alternative to imports from further afield. Quality can be exceptional and a new generation of aspirant winemakers is set to put Portugal on the world map.

North America.

North America has been producing wine for over 300 years and is now the fourth largest wine producer in the world. While many consumers associate North American wine with California (where indeed most is produced), it may surprise

you to discover that a winery exists in every US state and in Canada too. The style and quality of North American wines varies dramatically according to region, climate, geography, soils, grape varieties used, and importantly the producer

behind the wine.

South America. South America.

The quality and availability of Chilean wines have flourished in the last twenty years. This position is strengthened by Chile’s special trade agreement with the EU, which waives the import levy it applies to all other non-European wines.

While wine consumers worldwide enjoy the easy-drinking charm of Chile’s inexpensive fruity wines, Chile’s wine producers have higher aspirations too, to make stylish, complex wines expressive of their unique origins, wines with a

tangible ‘sense of place’, a notion the Europeans call terroir.

Argentina is one of the world’s most exciting wine-producing countries. Important both in quantity and in the quality and style of its wines, Argentina has much to tempt wine consumers of all palates and pockets. Its juicy, soft-textured, everyday-drinking wines made from European varieties such as Chardonnay, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot

are widely consumed both in Argentina and abroad.

Not only is domestic wine consumption on the increase in Brazil, but its youthful wine industry is making great strides forward. Most of Brazil’s vineyards are located to the south, where the temperature is a little cooler. Seival has seen much investment in both the vineyards and its winery, making it a great ambassador, illustrating the potential Brazil has to offer.

Australia. New Zealand.

Australia’s wine industry has been phenomenally successful in the last 30 years and today is the world’s fourth largest wine exporter, with wines sold in over 100 countries. Australia was the first of the ‘new world’ wine producing

countries to understand how to appeal to modern wine drinkers, with its inexpensive, easy-drinking wine styles. Its innovative strategy of producing and labelling wines according to grape variety proved highly popular and saw

Australia steal valuable market share from traditional producing countries France, Italy and Spain.

New Zealand’s wines continue to soar in popularity with wine drinkers, driven by the exuberant, stylish Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs that have become the country’s vinous signature. Despite the fact that this grape variety now accounts for almost 70% of New Zealand’s entire production, equating to some 200 million bottles a year, New Zealand is certainly no one-trick pony when it comes to its regional and varietal scope. Its Burgundian

Chardonnays, pristine Riesling styles and rich, perfumed Pinot Noirs remain hard to beat for their quality, balance, finesse and sheer drinkability.

South Africa. Dessert Wine.

South Africa is one of the world’s most exciting wine producing regions today, with enormous potential for high-quality wines. Post-Apartheid, the South African wine industry is in renaissance, supported by outside

investment (particularly from Europe), and a dynamic new generation of winemakers keen to push quality boundaries, experiment with site selection and create different wine styles. The Cape’s location is key to this: the

wine lands here are buffeted continually by cooling ocean breezes, tempering the intense heat at this latitude and providing near-perfect conditions for high quality wine grapes. South Africa’s wine styles typically reflect these conditions, dovetailing exuberant sunshine flavours with the elegant structural frame more typical of

cooler-climate European wines.
