| 2007 Chat-en-Oeuf rouge, Ventoux |
£6.25 |
| Chat-en-Oeuf red is a wine of quality and character. This luscious red is made from selected parcels of old vine Grenache and Syrah making it a truly mouth-filling wine packed with rich juicy and ripe berry fruit flavours, red cherries, raspberry and pepper. |
|
2009 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc, Domaine Chante Cigale |
£21.00 |
| A full-bodied white with rich, ripe pear fruit that develops into floral and herby peachiness. The wine has a long leesy character and fresh acidity. Attractive when young but worth leaving for a couple of years, which will allow the wine to develop some wonderful nutty and mineral notes. Match with goat’s or sheep cheeses, delicate pork or full flavoured fish dishes with cream and herbs such as dill. Also goes well with shellfish and seafood. |

|
| 2008 Côtes du Rhône, Domaine Lafond-Roc Epine |
£9.00 |
| Ripe cherry, plum and raspberry scents soar from the glass of this medium-bodied and supple-textured red that is luscious and impressively fruity. Perfect served with white meats and Mediterranean cuisine. |
|
| 2008 Crozes Hermitage, Domaine des Remizières |
£13.50 |
| Philippe Desmeure works with some of the region’s lowest yields and picks later than most with better maturity. His Crozes is one of the finest examples from the appellation due to the special ‘terroir’ at Larnage and will drink best from now - 2012. |
|
| 2007 Saint Joseph, Domaine des Amphores |
£15.45 |
| Wonderful perfumed nose that just screams ‘Northern Rhône Syrah’ at you, with its olive-like meaty, spicy dark fruits and a hint of herby green character. Slightly stinky in a nice way. The palate is savoury and spicy with open dark fruits and a tangy, meaty character. Good acid and a spicy, dusty but fine grained tannic structure. A lovely food wine. |
|
| 2007 Gigondas, Domaine du Grapillon d’Or |
£19.50 |
| Bernard Chauvet and his daughter Céline have 15 hectares of vines scattered over 18 plots in Gigondas. 80% of his vines are Grenache, 15% Syrah and 5% Cinsault. The different varieties are vinified together, and then aged for 12 months in large oak foudres. Delicious! |
|
| 2007 La Rosine, Domaine Michel & Stéphane Ogier |
£19.90 |
| From vines immediately to the south of Côte Rôtie, this is a distinctly up-market Vin De Pays, afforded 10 months in wood and repaying the compliment with rich, ripe, red fruit flavours, ideally suited to a splendid vintage such as 2007. |
|
| 2007 Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Les Galet Roules |
£20.00 |
| This is a complex wine that has warm red spicy fruit and damson aromas, dense dark cherry fruit on the palate, structure, richness and a touch of elegance at the finish. Perfect with traditional lamb or rich hot-pot dishes. |
|
| 2005 Hermitage Classic, Cave de Tain |
£33.00 |
| Intense garnet-red colour. Lovely aromas of blackberry fruits, with vanilla and roasted cashews. Rich on the palate. Powerful and well-balanced. Strong but smooth tannins, good length with fresh blackcurrant, cherry and oriental spices on the finish. |
|
| 2005 Côtie Rôtie, Domaine Michel & Stéphane Ogier |
£50.00 |
| This is a triumphant 2005. Stéphane feels that it has the fruit of 1999 and the structure of 2001: praise indeed but thoroughly deserved. With exposure to new oak only in the first year of maturation and only 30% at that, the wine is classically balanced with notes of tapenade and blackberry harmoniously integrated and an assertive fraîcheur on the palate. |
