  • 2008 Muscat de Beaumes de Venise ‘Cuvée Les Trois Fonts’, Domaine de Coyeux – 375mlDessert Wine, Port & Dessert Wine

    2008 Muscat de Beaumes de Venise ‘Cuvée Les Trois Fonts’, Domaine de Coyeux – 375ml

    £1250

    A delicious sweet wine, with notes of lychee, candied apricot and pear, tropical pineapple complemented by honey undertones. Rich, smooth and sweet on the palate, beautifully balanced by freshness and elegance.

    The vineyard provides naturally healthy conditions, due to its altitude, exposure to the sun and the microclimate of the vineyard and enables gentle methods of cultivation to be employed, in order to maintain a healthy vineyard. The vines are planted in alluvial, sandy soils. Excessive buds and leaves are removed in the spring to aerate the strains and increase the leaf’s surface area exposed to the sun. Debudding reduces the production of berries and concentrates the flavours and aromas in those remaining. The living soils, where microbial life creates organic soil enrichment, nourishes the vines.

  • 2016 Petit Védrines Sauternes, Chateau Doisy Védrines – Half BottleDessert Wine, Port & Dessert Wine

    2016 Petit Védrines Sauternes, Chateau Doisy Védrines – Half Bottle

    £1495

    Sauternes is the world’s most celebrated dessert wine and Doisy Védrines is one of the best. Despite lying next door to Premiers Crus Châteaux Climens and Coutet, it remains under the radar. This is their magnificent, affordable second wine.

    Golden in colour, the nose shows caramelised citrus, orange marmalade and honeysuckle. Sweet, but not cloying, there are lovely botrytis flavours intermingled with orange and lime peel and fresh citrus acidity on the generous finish.

  • Demi-Sec, Champagne Collet Wine Republic Heros Champagne & Sparkling Wine, Dessert Wine, Port & Dessert Wine

    Demi-Sec, Champagne Collet

    £3995

    This delicious sweet style champagne has light aromas of meringue and praline that are swirled in delicate notes of violet and stewed fruits, through to a beautifully balanced palate with sustained freshness and fine, sweet flavours. Notes of candied citrus and candied strawberry are complemented by a warm touch of white pepper in this light Champagne which develops on the palate over time.

    An assemblage of over 100 Crus, this cuvée reveals a broad array of aromas reflecting the diverse terroirs of the Champagne region. The composition is completed with 35% reserve wines in order to preserve the Collet style year after year. The blend comprises 50% Pinot Meunier from the villages of the Marne Valley and the Ardre Valley, which brings tonicity, richness and tension to the wine. The Crus of the Aisne make a tender and round wine and punctuate the assemblage with exotic fruit notes. 30% Chardonnay from the Sézannais region adds enjoyment and harmony and the Crus of southern Epernay contribute tonic citrus notes. 20% Pinot Noir from the Côte des Bar contributes structure and tension.

  • 2008 Pinot Gris Vendange Tardive, Trimbach Wine Republic Heros Dessert Wine, Port & Dessert Wine, White Wine

    2008 Pinot Gris Vendange Tardive, Trimbach

    £4500

    This wine is made from botrytised noble Pinot Gris, hand-selected and from the best vineyards. and is only made in only exceptional years.

    We love this tasting note from Robert Parker: ‘A remarkable nose – vegetarians beware! – suggests smoked pork, sauteed veal sweetbreads, and truffle-studded foie gras, and the palate is just as sinfully rich as the nose implies, encompassing as well a honeyed intensity of quince and Mirabelle preserves; white Burgundy-like toasted brioche; and hints of brown spices. This is a meal unto itself, and for all of its amplitude reveals a sense of buoyancy.’

  • 2007 Chateau Doisy-Vedrines 2eme Cru Classe, BarsacDessert Wine

    2007 Chateau Doisy-Vedrines 2eme Cru Classe, Barsac

    £4500

    Anybody who has tasted the sensational 1989 Doisy-Védrines will want to snap up the equally good 2007 in an instant. As well as being one of the sweetest wines of the vintage it is exceptionally elegant and well-balanced. The nose is marked by intense, icy-cool tropical citrus while the rich yet fresh palate has wonderfully pure, sweet creamy pineapple fruit, plenty of botrytis and fine balancing acidity. The finish is incredibly long and precise. Made from 95% Sémillon and 5% Sauvignon Blanc, this is a magically sensual Sauternes at an outstanding price.

  • 2005 Chateau Doisy-Vedrines 2eme Cru Classe, BarsacDessert Wine

    2005 Chateau Doisy-Vedrines 2eme Cru Classe, Barsac

    £4750

    This delightful golden sweetie will provide the perfect pairing to sweet puddings such as Tarte Tatin and blue cheeses like Roquefort. The Chevaliers de Védrines who owned this property for centuries (until 1840) would be proud of the job that the Castéja family have done here.

    Doisy-Védrines is one of the stars of the 2005 vintage for its sublime elegance, richness and finesse. A terrific, fine, perfumed nose with a lifting touch of botrytis acts as the impressive entrée for a wonderfully pure Sauternes of extraordinary length. The wine is like an immaculately tailored suit on a perfectly formed body. This is highly reminiscent of their truly exceptional 1989.

    The 2001 Doisy-Daëne is the second vintage made by the legend Denis Dubourdieu and is marked by stunningly luscious and silky textures and flavours that perfectly balance sweetness with fresh acidity and minerality.   In the glass, the nose has pronounced honeycomb, honey and lanolin.  The palate is luscious and rich with vibrant citrus notes particularly orange and lemon.   The finish is refined and balanced leaving you reaching for another sip.

  • 1990 Pinot Gris Vendange Tardive, TrimbachDessert Wine, Port & Dessert Wine, White Wine

    1990 Pinot Gris Vendange Tardive, Trimbach

    £9900

    This wine is a real treat – one of Trimbach’s finest – 30 years old!  It is made from botrytised (noble rot) Pinot Gris grapes that are hand-selected from the best vineyards. It is made in only exceptional years and has natural residual sugar (over 30g) which harmonises perfectly with natural acidity.

    In the glass, this wine exhibits aromas of dried apricot, burnt caramel and honey with banana and a touch of smoke. Beautiful subdued sweetness with underlying acidity. Very intense and concentrated in the mouth. The palate includes orange peel with waves and waves of intense, tautly precise flavour framed by good acidity. Very impressive finesse and length.
