White flowers, white peach, fresh rousing minerality and lovely hints of lime and citrus are the opening notes. This is a lovely organically farmed Chablis at an attractive price with a racy-steely backbone, grapefruit-peach fruits and stony minerality that builds through the finish. Pair with seafood and salads.
A textbook Sancerre. Light straw in colour with a greenish tint; spicy, grassy, gooseberry nose with some vanilla oak notes. Dry, elegant; beautifully balanced with lively acidity. Lovely mouthfeel with rich gooseberry and elderberry flavours.
Vintage bubbly from a good year. Medium-deep gold with plenty of bubbles. The nose is powerful even when this is served in a flute, exhibiting pears and light molasses, even a hint of tomato. On the palate it presents rich stewed apple flavours, with grapefruit overtones and a cloak of yeast. Ready to drink now, even if you are English.
Medium yellow. Aromatic and sharp nose of citrus, passion fruit with a hint of chalk. Fat texture contrasting the bright acidity. Very intense fruity flavour with a great length to match. A wine with a strong personality, it will go nicely with smoked Atlantic salmon.
Medium-deep lemon yellow. Aroma is lemon-lime, a little orange as well, but nose is still relatively closed; needs to open up in the glass. On the palate there are more lemon and green apple flavours, as well as a slight mineral astringency that increases interest. Will drink well for several more years.

Dark ruby. Complex and ripe nose of blackberry and other black fruits, dark plum, toasted oak. Full-bodied, thick, grainy backbone wrapped in velvety ripe fruit extract. Soft finish. Ready to drink with a tasty meat stew.
