About Us

Elevating Your Wine Experience Since 1981 - Charles Mitchell Wines Redefined

Charles Mitchell Wines has been delighting wine lovers since 1981. Founded by Christopher Mitchell Pacey and Howard Charles Domney, the business quickly gained a reputation as a trusted independent wine merchant, sourcing exceptional bottles from hidden gems and celebrated estates alike. For over four decades, Chris and Howard built something special – a wine business with heart, heritage, and an unwavering commitment to quality and personal service.

Now, a new vintage begins.

In 2025, long-time friends of the business – Steven and Claire Scorer-Murtagh – became the proud new custodians of Charles Mitchell Wines. As the team behind Jean Juviniere, a respected family-run wine business established in 1978, they bring with them 15+ years of experience, a portfolio of over 900 wines, and a shared passion for making fine wine more personal and more enjoyable.

Together, Steven and Claire are blending the best of both businesses – preserving the hand-picked selections and boutique charm of Charles Mitchell Wines, while adding even more choice, flexibility, and ways to enjoy great wine.

We remain a family-run business that’s big on service and small on pretence. We offer personal and corporate wine tastings, exceptional corporate gifts, and wines that are always high in quality and fairly priced.

Once you experience the wines, you’ll understand why so many of our customers come back time and again.

We’d love to raise a glass with you.
