Château d’Or et de Gueules “Le Fût entre 2 Chaises” ORANGE WINE
Following the runaway success of Mathieu’s Syrah, they have introduced a pink and now also an “Orange”. 100% Rolle grapes (aka Vermentino) fermented with the skins as you would a red wine, but no colour extraction, well, a bit – orange.

Jean Michel Dupré Beaujolais Villages Blanc La Ronze Blanche 2022
A hugely exciting new range of Cru Beaujolais specially brought in to give us all a vinous Christmas treat, but don’t wait for Christmas.
There’s a nice straw colour and a lemony nose, maybe a hint of caramel and citrus fruits. The palate is lean and minerally which to me is more reminiscent of a steely Chablis than a fat Macon so it goes really well with fruits de mer, fish dishes or just on its own as an apéro!
One third of the blend was aged in barrels for four months. So it’s not oaky, just rounded-out.

Jean Michel Dupré Morgon Grand Cras 2022
A hugely exciting new range of Cru Beaujolais specially brought in to give us all a vinous Christmas treat, but don’t wait for Christmas.
Jean-Michel’s own notes suggest hints of Kirsch, licorice and spices and he recommends Lapin aux Pruneaux as a meal to accompany the wine. Just off to the butcher’s to get some rabbit!
The slight 12½ % alcohol belies the lovely deep, fleshy and peppery flavours. I get parma violets if you remember those? Smooth tannins and a nice grip.

Laura Lardy Beaujolais Villages Red “Gourde a Gamay”
A hugely exciting new range of Cru Beaujolais specially brought in to give us all a vinous Christmas treat, but don’t wait for Christmas.
Unsurprisingly, considering Laura’s Fleurie, her “simple” Beaujolais Villages is a cut above the rest. If you remember the good old days of Beaujolais Nouveau when we looked forward to the 14th November and that deliciously grapey, Ribena-coloured youthful wine hit the shelves, then this is like that but soooo much better and with an extra dimension of structure to make it a joy to drink on its own but also with the meal.

Muscat de Beaumes de Venise
A new find from a stylish property in the Rhone Valley. This is a deliciously grapey, muscatty, warming pud wine. Perfect for having around at Christmas, but personally,I’d have a bottle permanently in the fridge all year round.

One day I will be an icon – by Jeff Carrel
A Gold-Medal winner from Jeff Carrel. This is Jeff’s best go at a Syrah and I’m sure it will be recognised as the iconic wine he hopes it to be one day. It is rich and chocolatey with deep but not agressive tannins,
