A fine and mineral nose with some subtle incense and spice. A layered, and elegant palate shows citrus flesh and plush acidity, the oak is also subtle and gentley toasty, all complemented by a long finish.

Expressive, almost exotic aromas and flavours with a lovely touch of oak that adds a slightly nutty character to the lush, ripe Chardonnay fruit. Rich but restrained, there is a real finesse and elegant balance to this very classy white Burgundy.

Proper white Cotes du Rhone; fresh, medium-bodied, vinous. The nose is pretty and delicate, with a waft of fennel tops and hints of hedgerow flowers. The flavours are nuanced and refined rather than overt. Careful use of oak adds texture and structure without masking the freshness of this very drinkable white.

Textured and luxurious this is a sophisticated Cabernet Franc from Gard. There is a wild 'after the rain' woodland perfume, with menthol and truffley hints. The palate is incredibly long and layered with bramble fruit, earthy peppery layers and a touch of sweet prune on the finish.

Gently perfumed, ripe melon fruit and fresh citrus on the nose. The palate is ripe but retains excellent freshness, balanced by a touch of white pepper spice that is very typical of its grape variety. Deliciously long, the finish shows bright fruit and a clean, saline/mineral edge.

Bright, ripe redcurrant flavours, with good weight and freshness on the palate. Nicely balanced, with a long, crisp finish.

A refined, classic Sancerre with a subtle smokiness and aromas of bruised apple and honey. The palate is textural with layers of rich, lifted minerality and ripe citrus fruit, leading into the long, substantial finish. A great weight and depth to this wine which is well-balanced and has a lovely acidity throughout. Best to let breathe for optimal tasting experience.

This elegant bottling couldnt be more typical Alsace, with its aromas of apple, pear and citrus

Herbaceous and lightly grapefruity on the nose with sherbert lemons and a touch of white peach on the palate with fresh acidity and a white peppery finish.

This is a fabulous Gigondas, very powerful with ripe, weighty tannins, the whole aged in large oak foudres for that added patina. Open well in advance and preferably decant.

Aromas of fresh herbs and stone fruit. Ripe white peach notes on the palate with gentle oak characters and an appealing creamy texture. Crisp acidity and balancing minerality on the finish.

Brilliant clear golden yellow. Intensely flowery (violets), and fruity (apricot, peaches and citrus). Fresh and round. Rich, unctuous and full bodied. Harmonious with light acidity and round fleshy fruits. Delicate and elegant.

Its deep red hue with glints of violet unleashes a powerful nose dominated by red fruits and subtly loaded with delicate oak aromas from the barrels. On the palate, the frank and youthfully fruity attack is taken up by supple and rounded tannins.

Delicate pale onion skin in colour with strawberry fruit aromas and an appealing herb-spiked nose. The delicate palate is pretty with red fruit and roship characters backed by gentle acidity. The finish is long and complex and with just a touch of aeration really shows its class. As always, a food wine par excellance.

Pliable fruit and welcoming freshness, this crisp, expressive wine is firm, tense, energetic and utterly ravishing. The rose petal nose, melon flesh silkiness and grapefruit acidity are all in place, and they are layered, glisteningly attractive and immediately impressive
