  Demi-Sec La Réserve, Champagne, Palmer & Co

  £5200

  A Demi-Sec style Champagne is luscious and fresh, offering a true explosion of fruity apricot and pear, combined with tropical touches of mango, caramelised pineapple and nuances of zesty pink grapefruit.

  The grands terroirs of the Montagne de Reims are central to Champagne Palmer & Co’s wine philosophy, encompassing over 200 hectares across seven iconic crus, all facing north. The two Premier Crus of Trépail and Villers-Marmery are highly reputed for their Chardonnays with citrus, mineral, and floral notes. The Grand Crus of Verzenay and Mailly are located at the heart of Pinot Noir terroir and produce wine with rich aromas of red fruits, spices, and saline undertones. The Premier Crus of Ludes, Chignyles-Roses, and Rilly-la-Montagne add structure and freshness to both Pinot Noirs and Meuniers. This aromatic diversity enables the oenologists to craft unique blends each year.

  2013 Anjou Blanc Côteaux des Treilles, Pithon-Paillé

  £5500

  Sommelier Wine Awards 2019 Gold

  This is real WOW wine and if your a Chenin Blanc fan then one sip and you will fall in love.  It displays a breathtaking tension between the tangy acidity of the latitude, bright ‘mineralité’ of the site and luscious honeyed ripeness with fabulous complexity from its magnificent steep, southerly aspect.

  This wine represents the tête de cuvée (top of the range) of Pithon-Paillé. The Coteau des Treilles vineyard located in Beaulieu-sur-Layon was abandoned after World War Two as it became to difficult to farm by tractor, which became all the rage in the post-war period. Seeing the potential of this great vineyard, the family purchased all 70 parcels from 25 different owners over the course of 3 1/2 years eventually achieving a monopole of this great Anjou site.

  Champagne Collet 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs NV

  £5500

  An assemblage of six Chardonnay parcels from the best Premiers and Grands Crus of the Champagne region.  The three pillars of this Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru come from the three famous Grands Crus of Champagne – Avize, Oger and Chouilly. Avize is a rich Cru which brings power; Oger offers tenderness and Chouilly imparts elegance and finesse to the blend. These limestone soil Crus naturally present iodised notes and citrus aromas. The assemblage is balanced by blending Chardonnay from Villers-Marmery, a very mineral Cru with smoky notes making the wine round and light, while fruit from the Crus of Vaudemange and Trépail complete the assemblage.

  Vivacious, with a light texture this 1er Cru delivers citrus notes of Sicilian lemon and lime, with hints of lemon tart on puff pastry. Nuances of white pepper, liquorice and smoke add to the kaleidoscope of flavours. This is fresh, taut, complex and full of finesse with a beautifully long finish.

  The Blanc de Blancs 1er Cru was aged for a minimum of five years in Collet’s centuries-old limestone cellars.

  Cuvée Royale Rose(Gift Box), Champagne Joseph Perrier

  £5500

  Joseph Perrier Cuvée Royale Brut Rosé is a sophisticated champagne made from a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier grapes. It has a lovely salmon pink colour with a fine and persistent perlage. The nose is complex and intense, with aromas of red berries, strawberries, and raspberries, followed by hints of flowers and spices. On the palate, the wine is fresh and lively, with a perfect balance between fruitiness, acidity, and creamy texture. The finish is long and elegant, leaving a pleasant and refreshing sensation. This champagne is ideal as an aperitif or paired with seafood, sushi, or light desserts.

  ‘Aged on the lees for 3-to-5 years in cellars dug out of ancient Gallo-Roman chalk pits, this rosé Champagne is serious, and seriously delicious. Displaying a medium ‘vieux rose’ hue and narrow cordon, the wine exudes summer pudding fruits and fresh bread notes. On the palate, the wine shows finesse in its light body, zippy acidity and ‘crackling’ mousse texture. Nicely balanced with good length. Quite vinous, this wine is a lovely aperitif but will also work well with wild salmon or even light desserts.’ Patricia Stefanowicz MW

  Fleur de Champagne 1er Cru Brut, Champagne Duval-Leroy

  £5995

  This is the definition of an under the radar Champagne. A Champagne house with a storied history, top-quality vineyards and award-winning products, that no one really knows about!

  Refined with graceful effervescence and aromatic complexity of almond, toasted and white floral notes. Precise on the palate with a silky texture and notes of citrus and fig through to a savoury finish.

  In 1911, when the vineyard classification became official, Raymond Duval-Leroy had a desire to pay tribute to his predecessors and create an exceptional wine. He was the first to work on a Champagne which would bring together Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varieties selected only from villages classified as Grand Cru and Premier Cru within the Grande Vallée de la Marne, Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs regions. The first Champagne to be certified Premier Cru, this cuvée is composed of Chardonnay (70%) and Pinot Nor (30%); the blend has remained unchanged since it was created in 1911.

  During the first tasting sessions back in 1911, Raymond Duval-Leroy distinguished an aroma of white flowers evoking the scent of the ‘wine flower’ in June. This led to the creation of the cuvée named ‘Fleur de Champagne’

  £5995

  An irresistible rosé Champagne combining great precision, freshness and fullness with charming aromas of wild strawberries, red and black currants, along with beautiful hints of vanilla and cinnamon spice.

This perpetual reserve was started 40 years ago and is kept in stainless steel tanks. It forms an extraordinary library expressing a unique combination of red fruit and spice aromas and flavours.

  2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape ‘Cuvée Barberini’, Domaine de la Solitude

  £6300

  Domaine de la Solitude’s wines are renowned for their characteristic elegance whilst expressing the true origins of their terroir.

  The Cuvée Barberini is a tribute to the founding fathers of the Estate and is made only in the best years from the best parcels of old vines of Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah.   This Domaine has one of the best terroirs in Châteauneuf-du-Pape with its abundance of rounded quartzite stones, known as “Galet Roulés” terroir.  These stones absorb heat during the day then radiate it at night, promoting full grape maturity. The grapes are manually harvested, once each variety has reached phenological ripeness.    2018 is fantastic Rhône vintage for reds and this wine is no exception.   Well textured, ripe, full-bodied – delivering rich black fruits, mocha expresso and a subtle hint of smoke. Smooth on the palate with integrated tannins and a lingering finish, this is a traditional and elegant Châteauneuf.

  In 2018 the Châteauneuf producers have made very high quality, focused wines, which are open and expressive with a gorgeously appealing fruit profile. The combination of small yields, ripe fruit and tannins also means that these wines have the ageing potential of the best years.
