2024 Sancerre Les Caillottes, Vincent Dauny
£2495Add to BasketThe Dauny family has been growing vines in Sancerre since 1683, making Vincent Dauny one of the oldest winegrowing names in the region. Today, Vincent represents the 13th generation to carry forward this remarkable legacy. Committed to sustainable and environmentally friendly practices, the estate has farmed organically for many years, well before it became fashionable, demonstrating a deep respect for the land and its expression.
The Les Caillottes cuvée takes its name from the prized caillottes soils, composed of small, white, chalky stones that are known for producing the most elegant and mineral-driven wines in the Sancerre appellation. These well-draining soils, combined with ideal vineyard exposure and cool continental climate, result in grapes of exceptional purity and aromatic precision.

The signature caillottes (chalky pebbles) impart a flinty minerality and taut structure, leading to a long, clean, and elegantly saline finish.
This is a quintessential Sancerre, refined, expressive, and built for both casual sipping and fine dining.

2023 Sancerre, J. de Villebois
£2795Add to BasketA textured and richly flavoured Sancerre with intense herbaceous, gooseberry and citrus aromas, beautifully balanced by a vibrant and refreshing crisp palate.
The Sancerre appellation in Central France surrounds the eponymous town, which sits atop a hill overlooking the River Loire.

Les Caillottes, which is made up of a high proportion of stony fragments of coarse Kimmeridgian limestone upon a clay subsoil and the wines from these soils impart aromatic structure and freshness; Les Terres Blanches which are made up of Kimmeridgian marl and is extremely rich in fossilised shellfish and has the distinctive characteristic of turning white when it dries, hence its local name, which translates as ‘white earth’. These wines from this soil offer complexity, opulence and great aromatic finesse. Finally the flinty Silex soils which impart minerality; all three soils types have the common thread of a high proportion of clay.

2023 Pouilly-Fumé, J. de Villebois
£2795Add to BasketThe subtle combination of smoky and ripe fruit aromas preludes a palate of candied pineapple, peach and mango flavours. Elegant and fresh, with the characteristic smoky note of a great Pouilly Fumé.
Pouilly-Fumé is the Sauvignon Blanc appellation located on the Right Bank of the Loire River. The appellation was created in 1937 originally as Blanc Fumé de Pouilly.

Fumé translates as ‘smoky’, which denotes the struck gunflint notes that characterise the wines. The Sauvignon Blanc grapes that produced this cuvée are grown on the main Pouilly Fumé terroirs of Villiers and Barrois, where the soils are made up of limestone, marls with oyster shells and clayey-flint ‘Silex’ soils. It is these flinty ‘Silex’ soils, which impart the characteristic smoky flavours in the wine.

2023 Chablis, Domaine Sébastien Dampt
£2850Add to BasketSebastien Dampt is fast rising to the top echelons of Chablis winemaking. Year upon year, he delivers remarkable wines that are an ode to the regional terroir, reflecting both their devotion to winemaking and the rich heritage of Chablis. The domain is undoubtedly a perfect embodiment of tradition that meets modernity in wine-making.
This 2023 Chablis is made from five parcels of old vines (40-60 years old) that surround the Domaine in the village of Milly. It’s seriously good Chablis, bone dry, chalky, with notes of Granny Smith apple and citrus fruits and a firm, mineral finish.
In terms of vinification, Sébastien keeps it simple. His approach is traditional, as he learned from his father and grandfather. In Chablis, this means fermentation and maturation in steel tanks. Sébastien does not use winemaking techniques such as battonage or wood ageing; he is all about pure grape and terroir expression. The wine does undergo the usual malolactic fermentation in Chablis, which rounds out the acids just a little more.
