Château d’Or et de Gueules ‘Trassegum’ White organic
This wine was the very first one we had recommended in the national press when we started the business back in 2006.
The new 2021 vintage is arguably even better, I love it. Think creamy rich white Cotes du Rhone. Three months in barrel just to soften it out a bit and give a rich, soft nicely balanced white wine that will go really well with your Sunday roast.
Recommended by Jancis Robinson: “Lots of interest here.”
Previous vintages RECOMMENDED IN THE OBSERVER. The 2009 vintage displays a beautiful balance and is as good a white from the south of France as you will see anywhere. 50% of the blend is barrel-fermented Roussanne; the rest is unoaked Grenache Blanc and Rolle. It is a rich wine with an excellent balance of oak and will be perfect with your Sunday roast.

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.

Laura Lardy Fleurie Les Côtes -sorry OOS, but try Laura’s dad’s Moulin-a-Vent.
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.
Fleurie (along with Moulin-à-Vent and Morgon) are my favourite villages in Beaujolais and to repeat an often-told tale; I tasted over 120 different Fleurie producers at the Paris Wine Trade Fair and Laura’s was my stand-out by a long way.
Jean-Michel Dupré’s Morgon at £17 a bottle represents my best memory of what a top Crus Beaujolais should taste like. Then along comes Laura’s Fleurie which is like a turbo-charged version. So full of fruit and powerful “parma violet” flavours and with a structure which comes from eight months aging in large wooden casks before bottling. I can’t think of a finer example of Cru Beaujolais which can be drunk now and which will also age beautifully for a few more years yet.
Drink this with a wide variety of foods; rich fish dishes, meats, cheeses. Maybe just avoid anything too spicey.

I Ciacca “Nostalgia” Maturano White from Lazio
I Ciacca “Nostalgia” Maturano
Once in a while a wine insists you must buy it, here’s one. Rich, fat, mouth-filling, complex, creamy and the most beautiful colour you’ll ever see on a white wine. A truly top class Italian white.
Ever heard of the “Maturano” grape variety? Nor I.
The Di Ciacca family, a third-generation Scots-Italian clan, has been working to bring this indigenous, organically-grown grape variety back to life on the family’s estate in Picinisco, in Lazio.
Italian consultant Alberto Antonini (named as one of the world’s top 5 winemakers by his peers) is guiding Di Ciacca’s Maturano mission.

Herbert Zillinger Radikal Gruner Veltliner – Quote of the Year – “Masterful”
I have nothing to add to Jancis Robinson’s tasting note;
“Selection of their oldest vines from the best vineyards of both Ebenthal and Ollersdorf. ‘A wine that combines both the advantages of loess soil and limestone.’ The must runs directly from the press into the large wooden barrel and is aged there on yeast lees for a year. One year in barrel, one year in bottle. ‘For us from the barren year of 2017 probably our most complete and possibly best wine so far.’ Very heady on the nose but lively and fresh on the palate. Lots of energy and intensity. Really bounces around the palate on the finish. So ripe you might think it was going to be a little sweet but it’s not at all. Such excitement. Long and dense but with lift too. Masterful. 13.5% Drink 2020–2028
