Muscadet de Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie: Domaine de la Mortaine, France, ‘17/'18 There's Muscadet, and then there's Muscadet. This zesty, palate-tingling wine makes a bracing aperitif and goes down a treat with oysters, mussels and other 'fruits de mer'. It also displays a fabulous, unique label, designed by Quentin Blake! | £8 | £11 | £34 |
Viognier, Côteaux de l’Ardèche, Vignerons Ardèchois, Rhône, France, ‘18 Floral, honeysuckle and ripe apricot notes on the nose, backed by white peach, mineral and tropical fruit flavours. A great example of the grape. | £8 | £12 | £36 |
Coteaux du Giennois, Les Genets Gris, Thibault, France, ’17 This Sauvignon Blanc became an instant favourite of Britt’s upon trying. A light, green flecked straw colour to the eye with a rich nose of grassy, nettly citrus. The palate is lean and very fresh with great intensity. | £9 | £12.5 | £38 |

Cederberg, Chenin Blanc, Cederberg, South Africa, ‘17/'18 The vineyards here are 1100-1150 metres up in the mountains; cool temperatures with plenty of wind mean that Cederberg enjoys a near perfect climate and a long ripening period. The whites are mountain-fresh with plentiful natural acidity. | - | - | £36 |
Domaine des Dieux, Chardonnay, Hemel-en-Aarde, South Africa ‘15 A beautifully complete wine that builds well, clean oak and green fruit gives a full flavour. | £9.5 | £13.5 | £40 |
Viognier Terre Rouge, California, USA, ‘15 This zesty fresh, floral and spicy Viognier, makes a great change from rich chardonnays, and at a fantastic value. Another favourite of Britt’s, perfect for drinking in the sunshine. | - | - | £65 |
Spottswoode Sauvignon Blanc, California, USA, ’16 A fantastic mouth-watering wine, the beauty is the aromatics with an initial impression of lime zest, lemon and citrus blossom. It then opens to nectarine, mandarin with hints of vanilla and lime curd both on the nose and the palate. Rich and texturally enticing with great balance and length. | - | - | £85 |
Chassagne-Montrachet, Coffinet-Duvernay, France, ‘15 When it comes to the world’s greatest white wines, the border between Chassagne and Puligny is the ‘X’ that marks the spot, the treasure at the end of the rainbow. Rich and intense depth, with apple, pear, and honey mingling with herbal scents and a focused minerality. Long and powerful finish. | - | - | £110 |
Meursault 1er cru Perrières, Albert Grivault, France, ‘11 These wines have an almost regal air to them. This is possibly, in part, to this grandiose property in the middle of Meursault.

Vallefrio, Maule Valley, Pinot Noir, Chile ‘18 This surprisingly concentrated Pinot Noir has black fruit and cherry on the nose but perfumed and refreshing. | £7 | £9.25 | £28 |
Chianti Colli Senesi, Talosa, Montepulciano, Italy ‘18 This is largely from the younger vines in the Montepulciano vineyards, 85% Sangiovese with 15% mixed between Merlot, Caniolo and Mammolo. This expresses so well the perfect sunny ripeness of the vintage, without excessive alcohol, and a bright, fruity finish. | £7.5 | £10.75 | £33 |
Fleurie, Clos de la Roilette, Alain Coudert, France, ’18 The manganese-rich, clay soils of this domaine yield Fleurie’s most original wine: densely-coloured and strongly-scented, with spice and olive notes, its firm extract is simply overpowered by its sweet fruit ripeness and amiable texture. | £10 | £13 | £39 |
Guy Allion, Les Parcs, France, ‘18 Strawberry fruited and creamy textured, this is a joyously ripe, juicy Pinot with a good deal of cool climate finesse. | £10 | £13 | £39 |

| Rounded and Flavoursome | |||

Malbec, Harmonie, Mendoza, Argentina, ‘14 Very deep and inky. With silky, classy black fruit, always exhibits a seductive, liqueur element. This wine, from ancient (about 87 years old) vines is given a year in French oak.

Saint-Chinian: Château Milhau-Lacugue 'Cuvée Magali', France ‘13 Terrific Languedoc quality at a modest price. Blended from Southern staples Syrah, Grenache Noir and Cinsault, this Saint-Chinian wine has a fresh, lip-smacking finish that guarantees you'll want to take another sip. | - | - | £40 |
Cabernet Sauvignon, Forest Hill, Mount Barker, Western Australia, ‘17 From the cool Mount Barker wine region, some 200 miles southeast of Perth, comes this spicy, tangy, wildberry-soaked wine which has none of the fruit-sweetness that is often associated with Shiraz from South Australia.

Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Jérôme Gradassi, Rhône, France, ‘15 Jérôme, 50 years old, was the boss and chef of a Michelin starred restaurant, L’Isle Sonnant in Avignon, until he sold it in 2003 to take up a mere 3½ hectares of vines. Terrific aromas of liquorice, cinnamon and herbs. Classic mixture of red and black fruits, backed with just enough tannin for grip. Lots of peppery spice. Fine, red fruit finish, hinting at raspberry jelly and Turkish delight. Great with our Chateaubriand. | - | - | £68 |
Pomerol, Chateau Gombaude-Guillot, France, '12 This 8 hectare estate in the heart of Pomerol, consistently produces classic, Merlot-dominated wines of grace. A nose of pure red fruit balances supple tannis and bags of concentrated bright, juicy fruit punch. Good acidity gives freshness and makes this Merlot-Cabernet Franc blend approachable relatively young. | -.- | £140 | |
| Fizz | 125ml | - | Bottle |

Domaine de la Ribotte, Bandol Rosé, Cuvée Anaïs, France, ‘19 Overt aroma of fresh peaches (and sea air?) leap out of the glass; and then there's an excitingly intense gamut of fruit flavours, from pink grapefruit and lemon peel to raspberries and red cherries. Really well-textured, with a characteristic long, mineral and saline finish which tempts one to sip again. | - | - | £46 |
