All you need for a dinner party! Crémant de Bourgogne, Bordeaux Blanc, Syrah from North Rhone and a sweet wine from Monbazillac.
Gilles et Romain Collet, Crémant de Bourgogne Brut NV £22.95
100% Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs , from a parcel of vines on the plateau near Villy, hand picked and Champagne method. Aged for minimum 2 years ‘sur lattes’, low dosage 4.5 g per litre, very fine, biscuity and deliciously dry, perfect for an aperitif!
Chateau Haut Rian, Bordeaux Blanc £14.50
A stunning Bordeaux Blanc Sec made from 70% Sémillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc. Green pepper aromas and citrus notes on the palate. Lovely freshness with that extra bit of weight and texture from the Sémillon.
Yves Cuilleron, Syrah, North Rhone £18.95
This wine is from Collines Rhodaniennes, which basically translates to North Rhone without having to pay a premium for the better known AOC´s. An expressive nose on the small red fruits. On the palate, fresh red fruits and delicate spices give a lovely expression of the Syrah. Another great wine from Cuilleron.
Domaine Grange Neuve, Monbazillac 50cl £13.75
Vineyards are based in the heart of Perigord, near Bergerac along the valley of the Dordogne river. Here, on the river slopes there is a particular micro-climate which favours the development of the botrytis necessary to make this style of sweet wine. Vines average 25 years of age. Grapes are hand harvested at a very late stage of maturity, in three successive 'triage', to ensure that only the most mature grapes are picked. Grapes are harvested in October and November. After fermentation the wine is matured for 24 months. A fabulous dessert wine, sweet and luscious with a great backbone of fine acidity for a clean finish. The nose is fresh with classic botrytis marmalade and ripe nectarine. Flavours on the palate are richer: honey with a finishing twist of bitter orange. Great value. 50cl.
