Domaines Bunan Le Vin De B 2023 Rouge
A smoky southern French red with dark cherry and a lightly wild, savoury edge. The palate opens gradually, moving from smoke into ripe fruit with a rounded, easygoing texture. Serve it with barbecue, smoked cheese, hearty soups or grilled sausages; a brief chill and a little air help its dark-fruited character show clearly.
Domaines Bunan 2024 Le B Blanc
Moulin Blanc 2019 Montagne Saint Emilion
An understated Right Bank Bordeaux with pure red cherry and violet aromas. The palate is medium-bodied and composed, with crisp acidity giving the fruit freshness and fine, chewy tannins adding shape through the finish. Refined rather than showy, it benefits from a little air and pairs neatly with roast lamb, duck, mushrooms or firm cheese.
Chateau Senejac 2019 Haut-Medoc
Smoky blackberry and cassis lead, with pencil shavings, loamy earth and a light coffee note adding savoury detail. The palate is lively and medium to full-bodied, balancing juicy dark fruit with fine, steadily building tannins. Bright and charming rather than heavy, it closes on a saline, mouthwatering finish.
Château Calet 2019 Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux
Rated 91 points and a Best Buy by Wine Enthusiast, this Merlot-led red combines ripe black fruit with a dense, smoky structure. The palate is generous and powerful, yet fresh acidity and supple tannins keep the fruit clearly defined. A savoury, dark-fruited finish gives it useful length. Serve with roast beef, duck, mushroom ragout or soft-ripened cheese.
Chateau Fonreaud 2019 Listrac-Medoc
Chateau Croix Mouton 2018 Bordeaux Superieur
Juicy raspberry and crushed blackberry lead, joined by fresh red fruit and a subtle touch of oak and cocoa. The palate is full but easy-moving, with ripe fruit, smooth texture and enough structure to stay composed. It finishes clean, savoury and ready to drink. A dependable match for burgers, roast beef, lamb chops or lentil stew.
Château de la Chapelle 2019 Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux
Rated 95 points by Decanter, this focused Bordeaux red opens with blackcurrant and cassis, followed by subtle meat, pepper and savoury spice. The palate is rich and mouth-filling, but well-managed tannins keep its generous fruit composed and clearly defined. A firm, polished finish gives it useful length. Serve with roast beef, lamb or mushroom dishes.
Chateau du Hureau 2018 Saumur-Champigny Les Fevettes
Rich red-cherry in colour, with refined fruit, mulberry, dusky plum, perfumed cassis and dried violet on the nose. The palate is well balanced and seriously structured, combining red and black fruit with warm spice and savoury depth. Silky, fine-grained tannins shape the wine before a smooth, precise and very long finish.
Domaine des Corbillières 2024 Touraine Rosé
Feret Lambert 2018 Bordeaux Superieur 3L
Blackcurrant, black cherry and plum open with measured notes of cedar, graphite and dried herbs. The palate is medium to full in weight, with ripe fruit held by fine tannins and a fresh, savoury line. Balanced rather than heavy, it finishes with dark fruit and gentle spice. Give it air before serving with roast beef or lamb.
Clement Lavallee 2022 Bourgogne Aligote Pariot
Bright, zippy and mineral-driven, with a clean line of acidity and a restrained, lightly textured palate. Native-yeast fermentation in stainless steel and neutral barrels preserves freshness while adding quiet depth. The style is precise rather than showy, making it a natural partner for oysters, grilled prawns, white fish, fresh cheeses, roast chicken or a simple plate of buttered vegetables.
Clement Lavallee 2022 Chablis
A precise village Chablis with citrus, white flowers and a light flinty note. The palate is lively and pure, shaped by bright acidity, clean mineral tension and measured lees-derived texture. Fine-boned and balanced through the finish, it offers a classic, versatile style for oysters, grilled white fish, roast poultry or mild, creamy cheeses.
Clement Lavallee 2022 Chablis Les Ardill
An energetic Chablis from old-vine clay-limestone soils, with a taut mineral profile and measured weight. Ageing partly in seasoned barrels and partly in stainless steel on the lees gives the palate texture without obscuring its freshness. Vibrant and focused through the finish, it pairs naturally with oysters, grilled fish, roast chicken or creamy shellfish dishes.
Clement Lavallee 45 Degrees 2022 Chablis
A focused Chablis with green apple, pear and citrus set against lightly salted butter and a chalky mineral note. The palate is richly textured but well balanced, with bright acidity carrying the orchard fruit through a long, precise finish. Its combination of depth and freshness is particularly good with oysters, roast fish, poultry or firm alpine cheese.
Vgc Monnieres 2017 Muscadet St Fiacre
A mature Muscadet with golden colour and a complex nose of baked apple, citrus, butter and stone. The palate is full and structured, its rounded texture balanced by a clear mineral line and steady acidity. Long and savoury on the finish, it is well suited to richer seafood, roast fish, poultry or dishes finished with brown butter.
Roland Lavantureux 2021 Chablis Grand Cru Bougros
Pale in colour, with a rich, expressive nose showing citrus, gentle oak and a firm mineral undertone. The palate is concentrated and muscular without losing precision, building from bright citrus into a broader wave of fruit. A surge of energy through the second half drives the exceptionally long, focused finish.
Chavy Chouet 2022 Les Grands Charrons Meursault
Bright pale gold, with ripe lemon zest, white acacia, fresh hazelnut and a subtle flinty reduction. Concentrated white peach and citrus oil give the palate breadth, while crisp acidity keeps the texture focused. The finish is long, saline and chalky, balancing quiet richness with the precision and energy of fine white Burgundy.
Gilbert Picq 2022 Chablis
Granny Smith apple and lime open over flinty seashell and wet-stone notes. Raised in stainless steel, the palate is taut, linear and finely balanced, with bitter lemon adding bright tension through the centre. Crisp acidity and quiet mineral depth lead to a refreshing, lightly spicy finish that lingers cleanly.
Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur 2020 Meursault Les Corbins
Refined and quietly generous, with white flowers, grapefruit and peach skin over a subtle mineral line. The palate is smooth and harmonious, combining measured richness with fine acidity and a focused, very long finish. A gentle stony note keeps the texture composed. Serve cool rather than cold with scallops, roast poultry, butter-poached fish or creamy mushroom dishes.
