Great value ‘estate-level’ Pinot blanc (Weisser Burgunder) produced by the gifted Jürgen Hofmann. Complex nose of white flowers, pear and some lively spice with just a hint of stone fruit. Lovely and zesty palate, with a smooth soft texture and highlights of orchard fruit, apricot and just a few wisps of hay.

2016 Pinot Blanc, Trimbach
£1995Add to BasketThe Trimbach’s have a purist vision. For three centuries and across 13 generations, the family has produced wines that are structured, long-lived, fruity, elegant and balanced: the celebrated Trimbach style. The family personally looks after each operation, from planting to harvests and from vinification to bottling. The wines are released after two years of cellar ageing, when they have the perfect balance of fruit and acidity.
Pale yellow with green reflections and rich concentrated aromas of white flower and apricot notes. Smooth, medium bodied with good fruit acidity. Pairs well with light meals such as salads, chicken, roast pork and seafood.

2006 Savigny Les Beaune ‘Dessus Les Gollardes’ Pierre Guillemot – Magnum
£12500Add to BasketA rare magnum of Savigny Les Beaune ‘Dessus Les Gollardes’ from Pierre Guillemot.
The vineyard was planted in 1957. It is 30% Chardonnay and 70% Pinot Gouges, a rare strain of albino Pinot Noir discovered by the great Henri Gouges. In the 1930’s some of his Pinot Noir vines mutated from red to white grapes. Monsieur Gouges propagated these cuttings and distributed some to various vigneron friends.
