2021 Les Oliviers Sauvignon Blanc/Rolle, Vin de Pays des Cotes de Gascogne 12.5%
September 23, 2021
What a complimentary blend ! Scintillating, crisp, tingly white with a nose reminiscent of grapefruit and sappy flavours with a note of something else….. passion fruit perhaps ? Dry, cleansing, fresh.  Incidentally, Rolle is the French name for Vermentino.

2021 Uva Non Grata Gros Manseng, Vin de France 12.0%
September 23, 2021
This is just delicious. It has a nose of tropical fruits which follows through to the palate. Whilst this is not bone dry it's not medium either. It has a ripe fruitiness which enables it to fall just beyond the boundary line of completely dry. A fantastic aperitif that also works well with a wide […]

2022 La Lisse Soie d'Ivoire, Chenin Blanc, IGP Haute Vallee de l'Aude 13.0%
September 23, 2021
Ripe but fresh with a little green apple bite and more buttery notes of brioche from the merest kiss of oak which enriches and rounds it out but is barely detectable to taste. Clever stuff This is from way down south in behind Roussillon not far from Limoux. For the most part this is Grenache […]

June 8, 2023
100% Gros Manseng and medium (or perhaps a shade sweeter) this is very fresh and peachy with succulent fruit redolent of fresh pineapple.  This is utterly delicious. Perfect on its own or try with pate or fresh fruit salad.  It would also be perfect with any oriental dishes with a bit of chilli heat where […]

2020 Monbazillac, Domaine de Grange Neuve, Castaing et Fils 13.0% 50cl
September 23, 2021
Late picked Semillon with a little Muscadelle and Sauvignon Blanc. Unctuously luscious with barley sugar sweetness and wonderfully balancing acidity. Like Sauternes this is perfect with creme brulee, tarte tatin and equally at home with chicken liver parfait and similar dishes. The region is a main producer of foie gras which the French also match […]
