La Remontada by Jeff Carrel

£14.50

La Remontada – The Comeback. Named in honour of the Champions League’s greatest comeback when Barcelona beat PSG 6-1 to win 6-5 on aggregate back in 2017. And we welcome back this wine under its new name. Haven’t had it for a few years but it’s made like an Italian Ripasso (see our beauty from Brunelli). It’s a declassified (because the method is not recognised – Jeff again) Cotes du Roussillon and it’s very, very lovely! It has that lovely schistous (look it up) character typical of the Roussillon wines but is super-silky-smooth because of the extra maceration of skins. Drink, sip, enjoy.

  • Champagne Marc Chauvet Brut Vintage 2015

    This is the epitome of champagne. If Marc Chauvet’s non-vintage Brut Tradition is all that is good about everyday champagne drinking (if such a thing even exists!) with 4 years before disgorging, then this 2009 vintage has spent 6 years before disgorging and is simply a delightfully elegant and silky top bottle of champagne. You would have to spend a lot more money (probably £75-100) to find a wine as good as this with a famous name!

  • Anarkos Rosso di Puglia

    Anarkos Rosso di Puglia

    The label is attention-seeking, as is the bright red plastic cork (not my favourite closure, I must admit, but the wine insisted I buy it! The wine has attitude and is a provocative one, railing against the plight of the region (see their website). The region reminds me of the Languedoc in France – loads of rubbish wines but increasing numbers of fanatics making really top wines as they should be made. This was one of my favourite winery visits af the last few years. The wine is made from a blend of the local varieties Primitivo, Negro Amaro and Malvasia Nera and should be consumed in conspiratorial bars in the south of Italy with huge helpings of pasta.

    Previous vintages recommended; Recommended in The Daily Telegraph: “another one of Mark Hughes’ brilliant finds. Absolutely delicious blend of Primitivo, Negro Amaro and Malvasia. Lush and plush like velvet, also juicy, scented, intense, rich brimming with the smell of violets, deep purple plums and bitter cherries. Such a joy!
    Recommended by Oz Clarke as one of his 250 best wines of 2012: “an excellent example of how southern Italian reds are starting to express their own fabulous originality. It’s bulging with youth and it’s soft, yet tempered by a nice edgy bitterness.”

  • Champagne Marc Chauvet Brut Rose

    When every single wine they make is superb, you’ve just got to stock them. As good as all their other styles, this Rose is a blend of 80% of the “Tradition” white blend and 20% red wine from the hills around Rilly La Montagne. Did you know that Champagne is the only wine in France allowed to blend white and red wines to make a Rose’ All the rest must be made entirely from red grapes.
    Compares more than favourably to the biggest seller in the UK, Laurent Perrier Rose, but at about half the price, so go no further…

    You must try this.
