Whites
- Tanners Sauvignon, VdP d’Oc
Sauvignon Blanc
One of the best Languedoc Sauvignon Blancs out there, balancing a rich core of ripe fruit with juicy acidity and a melange of classical grassy tones.
- £3.40 / £4.70 / £15.50
-
Picpoul de Pinet, Domaine des Lauriers, Côteaux du Languedoc
Picpoul
For those who like the linear, slim-line styles of Chablis, this is a steely, mineral and crisp, dry white, which shows spicy floral notes, with hints of smoke, nut and fennel. The palate is surprisingly broad and although citrussy, there is a hint of soft peach and honey.
- £3.40 / £4.70 / 15.50
-
Château le Fage, Sauvignon Blanc, Bergerac Sec
Sauvignon Blanc
Generous and soft on the nose, with a lovely passionfruit aroma laced with hints of grass. Dry to taste, yet perfectly ripe and juicy to the core and framed by savoury, crunchy green fruit and capsicum.
- £3.70 / £5.00 / £18.50
-
Cave Talmard, Mâcon
Chardonnay
A rich, full-bodied Chardonnay that combines fresh citrus fruit and juicy acidity, with a creamy palate and a distinctive, floral spine ties everything together.
- £4.50 / £5.80 / £21.50
-
La Roche, Mâcon-Vergisson
Chardonnay
A very mineral focussed, cooler example of what the Mâcon region can produce, from vines grown on top of the spectacular Vergisson escarpment. Think Chablis structure and nerve, with the ripe fruit of Mâcon.
- £4.50 / £5.80 / £21.50
Reds
-
Rémi & Jérôme Syrah, VdP d’Oc
Syrah
A full and spicy Syrah with flavours of blackberries and damsons, which seems to bridge the more savoury Rhône, and sweet fruit of the New World with its soft, plump tannins and juicy acidity.
- £3.40 / £4.70 / £15.50
- Mâcon-Rouge, Les Bruyères
Gamay
A light and fruit-forward red made from the Gamay grape of nearby Beaujolais, but more savoury and with a pronounced smoky element.
- £3.70 / £5.00 / £18.50
- Ch. Chassantour, Beaujolais
Gamay
This is Beaujolais, squared. Youthful fruitiness is still the key, but this has a wonderful, almost chocolate-like intensity, thanks to the especially warm bowl, in which the village of Lantignié sits.
- £3.70 / £5.00 / £18.50
- Crozes-Hermitage
Syrah
A full-bodied Syrah, with a lovely deep purple colour, obvious peppery blackberry fruit, plush rounded tannins and a spicy finish.
- £4.50 / £5.80 / £21.50
- Château Lafont-Menaut
Cabernet, Merlot
From the charming, forward 2001 vintage, this offers pronounced cherry and blackcurrant fruit flavours and aromas, with good weight to boot, backed up by a great depth of minerals and a typical Pessac smokiness.
- £23.50 Bottle
Rose
-
Tanners Rose, Gascogne
Syrah, Merlot
Crunchy red fruits are accompanied by more generous strawberry and plum, in this aromatic rosé that balances fresh acidity with a lovely, creamy, mouth-filling texture. Sourced from the excellent Domaine de Pellehaut.
- £3.40 / £4.70 / £15.50
