This selection forms the basis of what is available for delivery to your door in the UK. Alternatively you can use www.boursot.fr/en/ which is a full ecommerce site where you can look at, order and pay for your wines. Because the wines are to be delivered, their prices are different to our shop collected prices because we have to repackage each bottle and there is also a contribution towards the very high cost of delivery. The calculation is made automatically when you check out.

If you should like any advice on either the wines or on how to order, please do call us on +33 321 36 81 46 and we will be delighted to help.

There is neither a minimum nor a maximum quantity when sending wines into the UK.

Do remember that since 1 January 2021 there are new UK government charges for imports into the UK. Below 150€ of wine value (excluding French 20% TVA), currently no additional charges are being applied when your order arrives in the UK. We have some customers now who place regular small orders so as to maximise their cost savings!

Above that level, UK duty and VAT will now be requested by the courier company prior to or on delivery - but on these orders we will not charge TVA so that you do not pay twice.

However you can be assured that even after all these recent additions to complications and cost, there are still large savings to be had by buying your quality French wines from us; it's just not as straightforward as it used to be.

We look forward to providing you with our great wines.

With my best wishes

This selection forms the basis of what is in stock most of the time. These are all good quality wines and spirits that offer excellent value - especially when compared with their prices charged in the UK. We prefer to show keen headline prices, rather than raise them so as to take off some notional "discount". The euro price you see is the price you pay.

You probably know some of the choices already, but we will of course be happy to explain individual styles - and of course you can taste many of them when you are able to travel again. We have no minimum (or maximum!) order requirement and you can mix your bottles and cases as much as you like.

You can also have your favourite wines sent directly to our premises from the vineyards, so that you can simply hop across to collect these cases, taking advantage of low French prices and you do not pay any UK duty if the wines are for your personal consumption and within current UK limits. Please call or e-mail for further details.

It is always helpful if you can place your order before you arrive. In that way, we can ensure that your order is pulled out of stock and is ready for your arrival.

The attractive town of Ardres is easily accessible, being just 15 minutes from both the tunnel and Calais. See Map.

The Ardres shop is open Monday - Saturday 10.00 - 6.00 with no closure for lunch

If you are likely to be here outside these hours, please contact us in advance and we shall be happy to open up - always assuming one of us is available.

Being in France, we charge in euros so the sterling price shown here is simply an approximate guide and is obviously dependant upon the exchange rate offered by your bank. We accept Mastercard and Visa, or cash in euros. We also accept payments by bank transfer : please ask and we will send you our bank account details.

We are here to help you and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Bourgogne Aligoté, Buissonnier (Burgundy), 2018
Aligoté is the "other" grape of Burgundy and produces a wine with more freshness than that produced from the Chardonnay. It is very dry. This is produced in the Chablis area and is an excellent example at a very reasonable price.

7.40€   £6.30

  HALF BOTTLE Qty:
  BOTTLE Qty:
Château de Fontenille, Entre Deux Mers (Bordeaux), 2018
A really refreshing dry white Bordeaux made from 50% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Sauvignon Gris, 10% Sémillon and 20% Muscadelle. Crisp, yet “flowery” and aromatic, making it perfect with lighter food or simply by itself. A consistent medal winner.

7.60€   £6.50

  BOTTLE Qty:
Gros et Petit Manseng N° 4, Domaine Uby (Gascogne), 2020​​

7.60€   £6.50

  BOTTLE Qty:
Saint-Bris, Sauvignon, Bailly-Lapierre (Burgundy), 2018
This is the only Sauvignon allowed in the Burgundy area and this specific example has a lovely complexity with the minerality of a good Chablis whilst having the freshness of the Sauvignon.

8.00€   £6.80

  BOTTLE Qty:
Bourgogne Chardonnay, Côte Chalonnaise, Buissonnier, Vignerons de Buxy (Burgundy), 2018

  BOTTLE Qty:
Les Galets Dorés, Château Mourgues du Grès, Costières de Nîmes (Rhône), 2019
Considering the warmth in this region close to the Rhône, it is remarkable that such a wine can remain so fresh. A medium wright dry white made from Roussanne, Grenache Blanc and Vermentino with an aroma reminiscent of white flowers and citric fruits. A good accompaniment to spicier food such as oriental food.

8.40€   £7.20

(ORGANIC)

  BOTTLE Qty:
Touraine Oisly, Sauvignon, Coulée Galante, Domaine de Marcé (Loire), 2019
A richer style of Sauvignon, from Oisly, the village that produces probably the best Touraine Sauvignons.

Low acidity but beautifully balanced – made by Christophe Godet, this is impressive by all standards.

8.70€   £7.40

  HALF BOTTLE Qty:
Château Jany, Sauternes (Bordeaux), 2018
Sauternes is still known as the producer of some of the greatest sweet wines in the world. This sweet wine has a light, floral aroma and on the palate, the wine opens out to become richer. Made from Sauvignon and Sémillon.

9.00€   £7.70

  BOTTLE Qty:
Les Jardins Philosophiques, Château Bouscassé, Pacherenc du Vic Bilh Sec (Côtes de Gascogne), 2015
Made exclusively from the Gascony grape, the Petit Courbu, on argilo-calcaire soil and made without use of any oak, so this has a clean fresh grapey flavour. A little different and really refreshing.

9.20€   £7.90

  BOTTLE Qty:
Château de Respide, Graves (Bordeaux), 2019
This is a lovely wine: made from 66% Sémillon and 34% Sauvignon. Because the wine has undergone micro-oxygenation, it has an open and appealing freshness and fruitiness on the nose and in the mouth. Great with first courses, fish, chicken or even with many lighter cheeses.

9.60€   £8.20

  HALF LITRE Qty:
Larmes Célestes, Château Bouscassé, Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh, Doux (Côtes de Gascogne), 2017
Pacherenc is the famous sweet wine of Gascony, made from late harvested Petit Manseng, Gros Manseng and Petit Courbu grapes. This wine has an almost delicate freshness – it’s quite lovely. You could serve it either at the beginning or at the end of a meal.

9.60€   £8.20

  BOTTLE Qty:
Comte Leloup du Château de Chasseloir, Cuvée des Ceps Centenaires, Muscadet de Sèvre et Maine, Sur Lie (Loire), 2016
At Château de Chasseloir there are five hectares of vines that are more than 100 years old. These grapes are picked by hand, and the wine has its lees stirred in tank for 9 to 10 months and finally it is aged for at least two years in bottle so as to create this very special cuvée. Dry but with body and complexity: fab!.

9.80€   £8.40

  BOTTLE Qty:
Morillon Blanc by Jeff Carrel, Vin de Pays de l'Aude (Languedoc), 2018
Morillon Blanc is the original name of the Chardonnay. This wine is made from botrytised Chardonnay grapes that have been vinified as a dry wine partly in barrel and partly in steel tanks. The result is a deliciously soft sweeter smelling Chardonnay but with a pardoxically dry style. A really interesting wine.

9.90€   £8.50

  BOTTLE Qty:
Mâcon-Solutré-Pouilly, Domaine Pascal & Mireille Renaud (Burgundy), 2019
Full of grapey flavour but with a lighter texture, this is a mouth wateringly delicious wine. The village of Solutré produces a slightly more minerally style among the top Mâcon villages and this is super. Highly recommended, this is easy to appreciate.

10.00€   £8.50

  BOTTLE Qty:
Mercurey Blanc, Buissonnier, Vignerons de Buxy (Burgundy), 2018
The village of Mercurey in Burgundy’s Côte Chalonnaise produces a small proportion of wine from the Chardonnay. This is a good example at a great price – fresh, relatively unoaked, soft and of course dry. This makes an excellent glass of decent white Burgundy - great by itself or with lighter food such as fish or chicken.

10.40€   £8.90

  HALF LITRE Qty:
Rêve d’Automne, Pacherenc du Vic Bilh, Doux Château Laffitte-Teston (Côtes de Gascogne), 2017​

10.50€   £9.00

  BOTTLE Qty:
Mâcon-Fuissé, Château Vitallis (Burgundy), 2020​
Full of grapey flavour but with a lighter texture, this is a mouth wateringly delicious wine. This is white Mâcon at its best, and if you have not already, you should try this – it’s outstanding!

10.70€   £9.10

  BOTTLE Qty:
Ericka, Pacherenc du Vic Bilh Sec, Château Laffitte-Teston 2017​
So as to develop as many aromas of ripe grapes as possible, the grapes - 70% Petit Manseng, 20% Gros Manseng and 10% Petit Courbu - are all harvested relatively late. Then the juice is fermented in new oak to give exotic fruit flavours in this gorgeous fruity dry white wine.

10.80€   £9.20

  BOTTLE Qty:
Lirac Blanc, La Fermade, Domaine Maby (Rhône), 2020
Made predominantly from Grenache Blanc with Clairette, Picpoul and Viognier, the juice is cold fermented to retain freshness. It has light, floral aromas, with more softness and fullness in the mouth and finishes with a little spiciness – a lovely marriage of flavours that makes it so good to accompany various lighter foods. This wine is regularly applauded by the wine guides and critics.

10.90€   £9.30

  BOTTLE Qty:
Ménétou-Salon, Le Prieure de Saint-Céols (Loire), 2019
Ménétou made its name some years ago as the less well known neighbour to Sancerre at a lesser price. Nowadays Ménétou wines can be of about the same price so they need to have the quality to support this status. This excellent example is crisp and fresh and still represents exceptional value.

11.00€   £9.40

  BOTTLE Qty:
Saint-Véran, A la Côte, Château Vitallis (Burgundy), 2019​
This is a seriously “upper crust” wine made at Château de Vitallis with the typical light mineral aroma of this appellation but it has an additional richness on the palate. You do not need to pay more for a truly delicious Saint-Véran.

11.50€   £9.80

  BOTTLE Qty:
Montagny, Premier Cru, Les Coères, Vignerons de Buxy (Burgundy), 2017
Montagny is another of the four main wine producing villages in the Côte Chalonnaise and produces lighter styles of dry white wine from the Chardonnay grape. Buxy produces the majority of all Montagny and this particular Premier Cru is full of dry flavour and is of excellent quality. Good for your special entertaining.

11.50€   £9.80

(UK price: £14.99)

  BOTTLE Qty:
Chablis, Maurice Tremblay, 2018
Maurice Tremblay's Chablis wines come from a very respectable producer and we have succeeded in finding you great value for your money. Tremblay's wines have the "minerality" of a classic Chablis but also have a deliciously full dry fruitiness on the palate, with a long aftertaste. Forget the bland Chablis sold by multiple retailers, this wine is classic proper Chablis. Outstanding value.

11.90€   £10.20

  BOTTLE Qty:
Gewürztraminer, Tradition, Robert Faller et Fils (Alsace), 2018
A good example of a classic Gewürztraminer: fragrant but dry with an aroma reminiscent of lychees. Delicious, refreshing and different – the perfect partner to most first courses and it even goes well with spicy food! Regularly described by you as one of the best Gewürztraminers. There is currently a shortage of Gewürztraminer from recent harvests.

12.60€   £10.80

  BOTTLE Qty:
Riesling, Trottacker de Ribeauvillé, Robert Faller et Fils (Alsace), 2016
Faller is based in the picturesque town of Ribeauvillé, where many of Alsace’s best Rieslings are produced. Fabulous: from argilo-calcareous subsoil, this wine is bone dry but with plenty of typical Riesling flavour. We always compare Faller’s wines very favourably against Trimbach’s – but at so much better value. This wine is of a Grand Cru quality but of course without its normal price tag.

13.00€   £11.10

  BOTTLE Qty:
Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Beaune, Clos du Bois Prévot, Domaine Mazilly (Burgundy), 2018
A high quality Burgundy, made from grapes grown in the hills behind Meursault and Montrachet in the Côte de Beaune. The wine has been partially aged in oak casks but it’s delicate and fresh. You could happily keep this wine for another three years. Ideal when you’d like to enjoy high quality but great value white Burgundy.

13.00€   £11.10

  BOTTLE Qty:
Pouilly Fumé, Domaine Tabordet (Loire), 2019
This wine from the village of Pouilly-sur-Loire is just how it should be-dry, light and fresh Sauvignon fruit with a hint of spiciness. It's crisper in style than our Sancerre. This is an immediately impressive wine from this small family producer.

13.00€   £11.10

(Price in UK shops: £19.24)

  HALF LITRE Qty:
Château de Fayolle, Saussignac, Doux (Bergerac), 2013
Saussignac is right next door to the more famous Monbazillac. This is a top quality sweet wine made from individually picked botrytised Sémillon grapes that are then vinified in oak barrels. The result has a smooth fruity style reminiscent of apricots and cream! This is a wine to serve either with a first course or with dessert.

13.60€   £11.60

  BOTTLE Qty:
Sancerre, Domaine Franck Millet (Loire), 2019
Sancerre wines tend to have a little more softness than those of Pouilly Fumé, made from the same Sauvignon grape. Franck Millet is actively involved at every stage of the wine’s production and is generally recognised as one of the area’s best small producers. This gem, full of dry Sauvignon fruitiness, is soft and smooth and is a regular medal winner when entered into competitions.

13.70€   £11.70

(UK price: £21.00)

  HALF LITRE Qty:
Lyre, Muscat de Petits Grains, Vendanges PasserilléesDomaine de l’Arjolle (Côtes de Thongue), 2018
Lyre’s Muscat grapes are harvested late in mid-October by which time they have shrivelled slightly, expelling water from the grapes. The juice is fermented and aged in oak for 10 months. The finished product is an elegant sweet nectar that appears to be full of exotic fruit flavours. Elegant packaging too!

13.80€   £11.80

  BOTTLE Qty:
Crozes-Hermitage Blanc, Sens, Fayolle Fils & Fille (Rhône), 2019
A fresh floral, yet honeyed, style made from 60% Marsanne and 40% Roussanne vinified at low temperature in stainless steel. Lovely to drink by itself or during a meal of fish or white meat. It’s something a bit special! Good to drink over the coming three years

14.70€   £12.60

  BOTTLE Qty:
Pouilly Fuissé, Vieilles Vignes,Domaine Pascal & Mireille Renaud (Burgundy), 2018
An excellent Pouilly Fuissé aged partially in demi-muid oak which has a gentler style than other oaks. By consequence, this is a grapey wine with a soft oak background and it has the capacity to last for several years. We feel that you, and your guests, will be impressed.

14.90€   £12.70

  BOTTLE Qty:
Château de Varennes, Savennières (Loire), 2018
A bone dry wine made from 100% Chenin Blanc that could age over the next 10 years with no problem, to become fuller and softer in style.

15.90€   £13.60

  BOTTLE Qty:
Chablis Premier Cru, Beauroy, Maurice Tremblay, 2017
This Premier Cru Chablis has more body and apparent fruit in the mouth than a "straight" Chablis and it represents exceptional value. Maurice Tremblay's Chablis are widely respected, having much of the steeliness of character that characterise the better wines of Chablis.

17.00€   £14.50

  BOTTLE Qty:
Saint-Péray, Montis, Domaine Laurent Fayolle (Rhône), 2019
Made 100% from 40 year old Marsanne hillside vines grown one third on granite and two thirds on chalk. Owing to the chalk, this is a more structured and minerally style than Fayolle’s white Crozes-Hermitage. A wine from the southern Rhône of very high quality with good potential age to keep for perhaps 10 years+.

17.90€   £15.30

  BOTTLE Qty:
Casta Diva, Lirac Blanc, Domaine Maby (Rhône), 2018
This wine has probably been awarded every top medal there is to be won in any competition that it is entered for. A beautiful Lirac made from 68% Clairette and 32% Viognier and fermented in new oak casks. It is fresh yet it has lovely spicy fruit and oak flavours. The owner of the domaine, Richard Maby, is fanatical about opera (as you might have imagined!).

17.90€   £15.30

  BOTTLE Qty:
Chorey-lès-Beaune, Domaine Maldant-Pauvelot (Burgundy), 2018
A gorgeous slightly oaked white Burgundy from this important village just north of Beaune. With only 2% of the production in white, this wine is minerally and fresh and has the capacity to age well over the next year or so. A great white Burgundy from a great year at excellent value.

19.70€   £16.80

  BOTTLE Qty:
Pouilly-Fuissé, Aux Bouthières, Domaine Pascal & Mireille Renaud (Burgundy), 2017
This wine is made from 100 year old vines in Aux Bouthières which is one of the best vine plots in Fuissé. The soil here gives an opulence of fruit combined with a minerality. Fermentation is in demi-muid large barrels and the juice is left on the lees for 18 months. From the 2020 harvest, this wine is legally entitled to call itself Premier Cru. This is simply magnificent Burgundy and, whilst fabulous now, it will get even better over the next 10 years.

19.90€   £17.00

(In wooden (6) cases)

  BOTTLE Qty:
Chablis Premier Cru, La Fourchaume, Maurice Tremblay, 2018
This Premier Cru is packed full of fruit, in a Chablis sort of way! The vines are aged between 25 and 45 years and the wine is made in the traditional way by this producer - not oaked at all. As soon as you put your nose to the glass, you can tell there is something special to come – and the flavour does not disappoint. This will keep happily another five years at least. A gorgeous wine.

20.60€   £17.60

  BOTTLE Qty:
Rasteau, La Galopine, Domaine des Escaravailles (Rhône), 2019
One of our most popular white Rhônes, produced by Gilles Ferran – a dry white made from Roussanne, Marsanne and Viognier grapes but vinified in the style of a top white Burgundy. An “alternative Burgundy” of fabulous value. As strange as this may sound, if you appreciate “great” white Burgundy, you will LOVE this.

21.90€   £18.70

  BOTTLE Qty:
Riesling Geisberg, Grand Cru, Robert Faller et Fils (Alsace), 2013
Grand Cru Alsace production is tiny – with low yielding vines of the highest quality. This is a delectable, dry fruity Riesling that makes really refreshing drinking. Probably best served with a meal, this is an impressive wine by any standards but at this price, it’s also a bargain.

22.90€   £19.60

  BOTTLE Qty:
Savigny-lès-Beaune Blanc, Domaine Maldant-Pauvelot (Burgundy), 2018
Simply: a beautiful wine. It has a fuller flavour, that being typical of this village. With its lemony creamy character and a long aftertaste, this wine is delicious now but can also stay good for at least three years more.

24.50€   £20.90

  BOTTLE Qty:
Auxey-Duresses Blanc, Domaine Pierre Bourée Fils (Burgundy), 2015
With the shortages of white Cote de Beaune becoming more apparent with every passing week, we have found this excellent fuller style of Auxey, with a good balance of rich oak, minerality and fresh fruit. Perfect for current drinking.

24.60€   £21.20

  BOTTLE Qty:
Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc, Domaine Jean Royer (Rhône), 2019
Whilst still young, in this high quality wine you can already taste several different flavours reminiscent of apricots and exotic fruits et al. This dry and spicy wine is a masterpiece – and it will be very long lasting.

25.30€   £21.60

  BOTTLE Qty:
Meursault, Les Meurgers, Domaine Mazilly (Burgundy), 2018
This is a great value wine from a single vineyard within the Meursault appellation, produced by a small family grower. Delicious to enjoy for another five years, this wine has the slightly "nutty" character, backed with a little oak, that we believe one should expect from a decent Meursault.

27.70€   £23.70

  BOTTLE Qty:
Meursault, Vieux Clos du Château de Citeaux Domaine Philippe Bouzereau (Burgundy), 2019
Château de Citeaux, the original home of the Cistercian monks in Burgundy, makes classic Meursault: smooth and slightly “nutty” in style. This is of a Premier Cru quality, but without the usual price tag. It is magnificent – a real pleasure to drink, offering excellent value for a mature white Burgundy of such high quality. With recent yield shortfalls, such high quality wines are increasingly hard to find at a sensible price. Buy now.

31.90€   £27.30

  BOTTLE Qty:
Puligny-Montrachet, Premier Cru,Les Champs Gains, Château de Citeaux (Burgundy), 2018
Exquisite – this specific wine is one of the finest white Burgundies you could wish to taste, and shows off everything that is so great about these top white wines. Very elegant, with a long fresh fruity style backed with a tiny amount of new oak. Complex, classy and, quite simply, delicious.

49.90€   £42.60

  BOTTLE Qty:
Chablis Grand Cru, Bougros, Domaine Billaud-Simon, 2015
A great wine from Billaud-Simon who make a softer style of Chablis whilst still retaining the minerality. With the additional benefit of some bottle age, this wine has a richness of flavour. Overall a rich and complex wine.

  BOTTLE Qty:
Combe de Madriel, Minervois, 2017
This used to be called Combe de Lauran. As one might expect from the Minervois appellation, this wine has a full, rich and slightly earthy texture that makes it so good to go with richer foods. This wine is very fruity and offers easy drinking and great value.

4.20€   £3.60

  BOTTLE Qty:
Le Petit Pont, Réserve, Rouge, Vin de Pays d'Oc, 2019
This extra-ordinarily delicious wine is made from Grenache, Cinsault and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Ventoux, La Claretière, Pierre Amadieu (Rhône), 2018
For some time, we were searching for a decent Côtes du Ventoux at a sensible price. When these wines are good, they tend nowadays to be too expensive in our view. Otherwise they are mass-produced bland wines. However, here we have found a wine that is cherry red and full of gorgeous juicy succulent fruit. A delicious wine that offers fantastic value – well worth trying!

  BOTTLE Qty:
Fitou, Mont-Tauch (Fitou), 2018
The area of Fitou in the Languedoc makes its reds from Carignan, Grenache and Syrah - grapes that give soft generous flavours. An easy drinking, slightly spicy red that we'd suggest shows at its best when served with red meat or cheese. Leave this open for an hour and it develops a smooth silky texture.

La Circulade de Merlot, Domaine Bassac, Vin de Pays des Côtes de Thongue, 2019
Domaine Bassac has its vineyards at high latitude in the Languedoc and makes very good varietal organic wines. We have been asked so often for a good Merlot and this wine ticks all the right boxes. So here you are: it’s rich, fruity and utterly delicious!

  BOTTLE Qty:
La Circulade de Cabernet Sauvignon, Domaine Bassac, Vin de Pays des Côtes de Thongue, 2019
A wine that is full of firm Cabernet fruit that appears to have been softened in oak, to be almost soft and juicy. Yet there is no oak in this wine; the grapes have simply been picked at optimum maturity, giving ripe soft fruity flavours. We believe that this organic example will demonstrate to you just how a wine that is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon can still be deliciously fruity.

Château Milord, Bordeaux Rouge (Bordeaux), 2016
Typical Claret: soft and fruity with a long dry finish. From an excellent year, this red wine made predominantly from Merlot, comes from the Entre Deux Mers region and is ready to drink now but we believe this inexpensive claret will remain good for another couple of years. Best served with lighter meats.

  BOTTLE Qty:
Les Cerises, Domaine Boissezon Guiraud (Saint-Chinian), 2017
Called “The Cherries” because the wine evokes the freshness of this fruit. This is one of the most attractive wines we have tasted from Saint-Chinian. There is a predominance of Syrah with almost equal measures of Grenache, Carignan and Cinsault grapes and the wine’s style is rich and fruity in flavour, without being heavy. With an attractive label, this is a really interesting wine that represents extra-ordinary value.

Côtes du Rhône, Château d’Aigueville (Rhône), 2018

Beaujolais Villages, Sans Soufre, Domaine des Nugues, 2020
This is what all good Beaujolais should be like! Full of fruit, this is a wine that has no added sulphur, yet it will last for many more years. We tasted a 20 year old version which was still simply delicious!

  BOTTLE Qty:
Baroques, Domaine Maby, Vin de Pays des Coteaux du Pont du Gard (Rhône), 2018
We were struck at a tasting this spring by the amount of succulent juicy mid-weight fruit in this ruby red wine from the southern Rhône area but without its appellation. Made from Cinsault and Syrah, but unoaked so as to show off all its lively juiciness. We hope you will like this red as much as we do!

La Bette, Domaine Jeff Carrel (Côtes du Roussillon Villages), 2017
Stunning – this is a memorable wine. There is the label to start with, not that you should judge a wine that way, and then there is the rich brambly aroma. Finally the many concentrated fruit layers of Syrah, Grenache and Carignan leave you in no doubt that the winemaker and the terroir have combined to produce a modern style of "Big Red".

Pinot Noir, En Coteaux, by Jeff Carrel, Vin de Pays d’Oc (Languedoc), 2019

  BOTTLE Qty:
Saint-Nicolas de Bourgueil, 75cl de Terroir, La Chevallerie (Loire), 2019
Typical of this region, this red has a soft dry fruitiness derived from the Cabernet Franc. Mr. Bruneau, the owner and winemaker, is a perfectionist even to the extent of not using pumps to transfer his juice so as to retain maximum flavour. This very attractive wine is best when served with light food. A double medal winner.

  BOTTLE Qty:
La Tire, Fitou, Jeff Carrel (Languedoc), 2019

Château Chapelle-Labory, Fronsac (Bordeaux), 2016
One could say that the wines of Fronsac offer wine lovers the taste of good honest Bordeaux, without the higher prices attained in other better known areas.

Côtes du Rhône, Domaine Grand Nicolet (Rhône), 2019
This top-of-the-range Côtes du Rhône sells out each year within days, thanks possibly to Robert Parker’s consistently high ratings! We managed to buy a parcel of this "outrageously delicious" wine that is fabulous now but, given the chance, it will improve further over the next 3 or 4 years. Made from 80% 40 year old Grenache and 20% 50 year old Carignan vines.

Héritage, Malbec, Château de Cèdre (Cahors), 2018
This is a “great” wine made from Malbec and a tiny bit of the softening Merlot. It has the Cahors classic full and dark style, but unlike some wines from this area, it is approachable now – with its sheer fruit and rounded tannins. It’s a wine that could last for years but it can certainly be enjoyed now with richer foods such as full-flavoured cheeses, meats or patés.

Morgon, Corcelette, Comte Philippe de la Poype (Beaujolais), 2018
One of our favourite reds: juicy and silky in texture, this is a great and seriously underpriced wine made from Gamay. Corcelette is one of the 6 best “climats” of the Morgon appellation. This is no ordinary Morgon - it has sensational quality and value, and is a revelation.

The distinctive label on this elegant bottle says it all... “rich, powerful, lush, freshness, charming”.

Despite its youth, this Grenache/Syrah/Mourvèdre wine has a gorgeous fruitiness and spiciness.

Le Petit Roy, Domaine Jean Royer (Rhône), 20ème Année​
This “table wine” is made by one of the top producers of Châteauneuf du Pape, Domaine Jean Royer from the same grapes and the same techniques but outside any appellation. This gorgeous wine can be enjoyed now or kept happily for 2 years, perhaps more. As a Vin de Table, the wine is not entitled to quote a year on its label, although Royer has a coding of “20ème année” meaning that this wine is from 2020. Its title belies its provenance – this is a very impressive and delicious wine. ​

Crozes-Hermitage Rouge, Sens, Fayolle Fils & Fille (Rhône), 2018
The Syrah grapes are taken from several terroirs and the juice is then vinified and matured in tank so as to retain freshness – indeed the wine has an aroma reminiscent of small red fruits.

SPARKLING WINE & CHAMPAGNE

  BOTTLE Qty:
Charles de Fère, Tradition Chardonnay, Brut
For the price, or even at any price, this is a lovely wine with its delicate honeyed fruity aromas. In our view, it is better than so many cheap champagnes.

1996 Vintage Armagnac, Domaine du Mignon, 42%
In our view, good Armagnac should have a depth of flavour and be a little more spicey than a Cognac for example. Domaine du Mignon is a one-man band and all the production is kept in a barn and then bottled off as required. The quality is exceptional and is in a league apart from so many of those big commercial names. Great value too.

  BOTTLE Qty:
