| 2008 Sancerre Rosé Le Grand Fricambault, Domaine Andre Neveu |
£15.00 |
| Sancerre rosé, one of summer’s best kept secrets, is an absolutely delicious tipple. It’s rare (less than 5% of Sancerre’s AC wines) so don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy it when you find it, particularly as Andre Neveu produces one of the best Pinot Noir Rosés in Loire. His meticulous winemaking has crafted a refined wine, loaded with mouth-watering, crunchy redcurrant fruit. A refreshing aperitif, but also the perfect accompaniment to cold meats, summer salads and poultry. |

| 2007 St Nicholas de Bourgueil Les Rouilleres, Frédéric Mabileau |
£12.95 |
| A fantastic expression of the St Nicolas de Bourgueil terroir with attractive and ripe fruit, perfectly balanced with soft oak tannins. A charming and tender wine, from the great 2005 vintage. |

|
| 2009 Muscadet Sur Lie, Domaine les Grands Presbytères |
£7.75 |
| Muscadet! Long forgotten but now making a comeback, and this is a great example - really dry and zesty, almost spritzy, with clean and fresh citrus fruits. |
|
| 2009 Sauvignon de Touraine, Jean-Christophe Mandard |
£9.50 |
| A splendid alternative to Sancerre, this is Sauvignon at its quaffable best. Intense grassy fresh nose with hints of gooseberry. Plenty of ripe fruit on the palate with a lovely vibrancy. |
|
| 2005 Sauvignon St Bris, Domaine Sorin |
£10.00 |
| In the village of St Bris de Vineux Monsieur. Sorin crafts fresh clean Sauvignon with vibrant flavours of melon, gooseberry and tropical fruit. Extremely long and delicious. |
|
| 2008 Sancerre La Clochette, Domaine Breton | £12.00 |
| Crisp, dry and elegant with fresh gooseberry fruit dominating the senses. The palate is rich in fruit flavours and finishes with the right balance of texture and refreshing acidity. |
|
| 2008 Sancerre, Domaine Daniel Chotard |
£15.00 |
| Daniel’s vineyards are to the south-west Sancerre, at Reigny - an area characterised by its white, clay-chalk soils. He produces authentic and sincere wines, reflecting the surrounding terroir. Pure hints of citrus fruits and white flowers on the nose, with gunflint and minerals on the palate balanced by fresh acidity and a ripe fruity finish. |
|
| 2008 Pouilly Fumé Les Chailloux, Domaine Jean-Claude Chatelain |
£15.00 |
| Chatelain is widely acknowledged as one of the finest producers of Pouilly Fumé. The 2008 vintage in Pouilly was extremely successful, harvested with high sugar levels and firm ripe acidities. This wine is well structured with ripe chewy fruit and a clean, fresh, flinty, long finish. |
|
| 1992 Vouvray Sec Le Haut Lieu, Domaine Huet |
£15.00 |
| Very clear with a distinct golden hue, this super Chenin Blanc has luscious aromas of grapefruit, honey and hints of tangerine. It's full-bodied and richly textured, full of juicy, ripe fruit flavour, with natural fresh-fruit sweetness well balanced by firm, steely acidity. |
|
| 2008 Savennieres Clos du Papillon, Domaine de Closel |
£24.00 |
| This wine has an intense purity, derived from the Schistous soils in the vineyard. Delicious when young, but develops profound complexity of flavour as it ages. |
