3 Bottles x Jacky Marteau Touraine Sauvignon Blanc 2008 – 13.5% alc vol. For the Sancerre lover without the price tag. Very fresh, aromatic, almost floral, with nuances of sweet grapefruit and black currant leaf. Structurally quite delicate. A first course white wine par excellence.
2 Bottles x Château Penin Bordeaux Sauvignon-Blanc 2008 - 12.5% alc vol. A touch of Semillon adds complexity to the aromatic Sauvignon Blanc and Gris. Richly aromatic and complex with effortless elegance and youthful juicy finish. Would make a great aperitif and first course choice at a grand reception and dinner or goes really well with seafood canapés, chicken and foie gras mousse en gelée, chicken vol-au-vent.
1 Bottle x Zeni Marogne Trebbiano di Lugana 2006 - 13% alc vol. Richly complex but discreet, with sweet nuances of white petals and stone fruits. Very fine and fresh with a sweet tang finish. Wonderful with a cheese soufflé, or with grilled scallops and grapefruit confit.
3 Bottles x Domaine du Peras Pays d'Oc Syrah Grenache 2008 - 12.5% alc vol. Red Berry hue and bright, followed by scents of cranberry juice and spice. The pallet is clean, with good grip if mildly tannic. Ends with notes of tobacco and leather. Its light structure makes it an ideal all rounder, for a light lunch, on its own, ready on a surprise visit, or simply with a snack cheese and chutney open sandwich.
2 Bottles x La Emperatriz semi-Crianza Rioja Alta Tempranillo 2008 - 13% alc vol. Beautifully scented with a youthful and juicy texture. This elegant wine would be ideal with tapas or simply on its own.
1 Bottles x Château de Chambert Cahors Malbec 2007 - 13 % alc vol. Deep dark hue, scents of prune and blackberry, good weight and round mouth feel. Multidimensional and lingering finish, a really fine wine. Would marry well with roast loin pork with black pepper crust and<
