  • Chateau Lamothe-Vincent Bordeaux PINK

    Too soon for any medals yet, but only a matter of time!

    Fabien & Christophe’s range of organic wines are from their estate of “Haute valeur environmentale” are all exceptional , award winng wines and their latest rose is no exception. I tasted this release of the 2022 from a tank sample at the Paris Wine Fair in February. and had to wait impatiently until April to ship it. His best Rose to date in my opinion.

    This is a very slightly darker colour than some of the other roses in our list and that translates into lots of flavour and character and maybe more of a food wine? A classic Bordeaux blend of Cab Sauv and Merlot.

  • Domaine Laffitte Gros Manseng/Petit Manseng Dessert Wine

    Really lovely spicey pudding wine from Gascony. Gros & Petit Manseng blend. However, I could probably sip my way through it on a hat summer’s day all on its own.

  • Domaine Laffitte Sauvignon Blanc Gros Manseng

    New 2023 vintage of our best-selling white. After last year’s disappointing vintage, which we didn’t ship, the 2023 is right back on the money. So, after a year’s absence we welcome back a long-lost friend!

    An exciting, new take on Sauvignon Blanc from Gascony; blended with a bit of spicy, slightly sweet Gros Manseng and the result is very, very more-ish, thirst quenching and maybe a bit too easy to drink. Great for all occasions.

  • Domaine Laffitte Cuvee Prestige Chardonnay

    New wine just produced by the Freres Laffitte – this very smart, tropical-fruity Chardonnay which reminds me of a Chilean unoaked Chardonnay from the Casablanca Valley.

  • Dans l’Air du Temps Chardonnay by Jeff Carrel

    One of Jeff’s self-proclaimed top five wines (of his own). Soft, rich, buttery Chardonnay but just a hint of oak, most comforting.

  • Dans l’Air du Temps Pinot Noir by Jeff Carrel

    5

    50 Great Red Wines of the World: 93/100

    “The nose sends aromas of black fruits, sweet spices and torrefaction” according to Jeff…and I’m getting some serious “chocolate”.

    The palate is round and fresh with a smokey and fruity finish.

    Good with fish, but even better with poultry, veal and scrambled eggs…

  • Abbotts & Delaunay Minervois

    A blend of Carignan and Syrah which really showcases one of the Languedoc’s fine range of regional appellations. 40% of the handpicked grapes are aged in oak following fermentation. The result is a fat, structured red but it’s not “in your face” it’s really very nicely balanced.

  • Villa des Anges Reserve Red

    One of those wines which make you stop in your wine-tasting tracks. This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot (roughly a third of each) has been aged for 14 months in tanks with oak staves (!) before bottling. It’s enough to make you wonder whether or not you want to buy expensive claret again!

    Jeff says; “La bouche est élancée, tendue par une fine acidité inflexible, mais enrobée par une matière ronde, veloutée, charmeuse. L’aromatique mêle la crème de mûre aux épices grillées et la vanille.” and who am I to argue?

  • Abbotts & Delaunay Cotes du Roussillon

    A blend of Syrah and Grenache with a slug of “whole bunch” Carignan which once again showcases one of the Languedoc’s fine range of regional appellations. 40% of the handpicked grapes are aged in oak following fermentation. The result is a fat, structured red but it’s not “in your face” it’s really very nicely balanced.

  • Chateau d’Or et de Gueules ‘Les Cimels’ Rose Organic

    The new 2022 vintage is just in and just as good as ever. Worth the wait, I’d say….A blend of Cinsault and Mourvedre this is as close to a classic Provence Rose as you can get without actually coming from Provence. Well, the estate is just over the border.

    Organic, vegan, rich, full, soft, fresh…..

    . Fermented straight from the press, no extra skin contact!
    Previous vintages all won accolades;

    Best Roses 2016 – Sunday Express.
    “With a pale salmon pink colour this attractive rose is bright and zippy but also has some warm, savoury spiciness. There’s a lively twist to it and it would make a fine partner for food.” Sunday Express
    “Irresistible. Pink Summer classic.” – SundayTimes
    Recommended previously also in The Sunday Times as a “party wine that won’t give you a headache.” They can’t all be wrong, can they’ The colour is so lovely I could happily just look at it let alone drink it. Forget the old, sweet unfashionable rosés of the past; this is a dry, refreshing blend of predominantly Grenache, with Syrah and Mourvèdre which has no oak aging. Deliciously thirst-quenching, strawberry fruit flavours. You will not want to put it down.

  • Chateau Lamothe-Vincent Heritage White

    Gold medals at Lyon and Los Angeles (also Best in Class)

    Now we have the full range of Lamothe-Vincent’s great Bordeaux wines. This is an unusual blend of sauvignon Gris and Sauvignon Blanc which has been aged in barrels for a brief time and the resultant wine is full and rich but not obviously oaky. Lovely food wine, but also great on its own. This new 2021 vintage is just fantastic!

  • Chateau d’Or et de Gueules ‘Les Cimels’ Red Organic

    Super new 2021 vintage which is certified organic and vegan. It is a wonderfully consistent wine which also manages to take on the character of the vintage vagaries. Consistently a best selller, consistently recommended in the Press. So, here you have an even deeper colour than usual, and enough body to make it a real laster!

    ….and if you like your reds with “minerality”, go no further!
