France - Burgundy - White | Details | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| *Dom. St Denis Mâcon-Lugny 2004 Opens out wonderfully after a few minutes to reveal some mouth-watering orange and lemon fruits, with a real minerality too; there is a touch of honey, but overall impression is of a very stylish, perfectly balanced, fresh dry wine. |
Grape: Chardonnay Alc/vol: 12.7% |
€16.95 |
 |
**Bernard Moreau & Fils
St Aubin 1er Cru Sur Gamay 2004 Broad, grilled nuts, smoky new oak and some butter, offset by good acidity and a dry finish. This is a big, full-bodied wine, full of fruit, that ideally needs a year or two to show its true class. |
Grape: Chardonnay Alc/vol: 13.5% |
€27.95 |

€33.95 |
| France - Rhône - White | Details | Price | |
| Terre d'Eglantier Viognier VdP des Coteaux de l’Ardeche 2005 Classic and very stylish Viognier; fresh, tangy apricot and peach fruit held together nicely by good acidity and a lush, soft finish. Very quaffable stuff indeed. |

| France - South - Red | Details | Price | |
| *Dom. D’Aupilhac Montpeyroux Coteaux du Languedoc 2003 Sweet, jammy aromas; ripe but rustic, intense, dark but perfectly ripe fruits, balanced by a mineral edge and some fairly substantial tannisn on the dry finish. Great, hearty stuff. Alc/vol: 13.5% |
