Chablis Grand Cru 2005/6, Vocoret Burgundy France
Grand Cru Blanchots produces wines that are amongst the most delicate, perfumed and stylish of all the Chablis Grand Crus. This medium-bodied example offers zesty, clean lemon fruit on the palate with rich undertones yet crisp acidity.
£38.00
Corton Charlemagne 2004 Louis Latour
Compared with other Grand Cru white burgundy Corton-Charlemagne is surprisingly better value. It is no secret either that Latour produces some of the best examples. A massively unctuous wine with notes of ripe pear, vanilla and cinnamon. Drinking well now.
£65.00
Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru 2004, Gagnard Delagrange Burgundy France
The Chassagne-Montrachet appellation borders its more famous neighbour Puligny-Montrachet. While not as long-lived or as prestigious as Puligny, these wines are often better value and are more approachable when young. A fine example from a very good, small grower.
£45.00
Mondavi Napa Fumé Blanc 2005 California
From one of the most respected wineries in California. Rich with the distinctive accent of oak ageing, this is a Sauvignon wine to impress those who normally select a Chardonnay.
£25.00
Cloudy Bay 2007 Sauvignon Marlborough N.Zealand
From the most prestigious vineyard in New Zealand, comes a wine full of fresh herbal aromas and layers of ripe guava and passion fruit. Medium bodied, the palate is succulent and crisp with a long flavoursome finish. New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc at its most refined.
£35.00
Sancerre ‘Les Romains’ 2004/05, Vacheron
The ‘Les Romains’ vineyard was selected to produce a special Cuvée because of its sought-after flint soil, which lends a delicate mineral quality to the wine. Half the wine is matured in oak casks and half in stainless tanks. The resulting blend has great depth and complexity whilst retaining the delicious freshness of the fruit.
