100% Picpoul

A relatively unknown style of wine in the UK, this is produced in the flat lands on the costal side of Montpellier. Very distinctive, with a lovely balance between fresh, crunchy minerality and soft, ripe exotic fruit. The locals drink this with seafood and it makes a great alternative to Muscadet.

A delightfully refreshing, uncomplicated Muscadet.

Fresh citrus notes, clean & crisp with a hint of sea salt minerality.

Pop in a cold ice bucket for that perfect 'pick me up' on a hot day.

A crisp, crunchy, fresh white from the South West of France. The fruit is enjoyably ripe,exotic and fruity but it retains a lovely refreshing green apple acidity.

A peachy, voluptuous richness is balanced nicely by quite an elegant, light, floral freshness with hints of gingerbread to follow. A fine example of the Viognier grape.

Plush ripe fruit with a velvety luscious feel. The sunshine drips out of this wine but it still retains its crisp, crunchiness. 

So moreish.

Light, fresh, floral, elegant Muscat notes of lychee, blossom and citrusy fruits. It is well balanced by a nice crisp acidity and has a soft velvety peach quality.

A perfect example of what Muscadet should be.

Crisp mineral notes but also equally balanced with a limey quite elegant fruit.

This estate still harvests by hand, ensuring the fruit is brought in in the best possible condition.

Very crisp, grassy, green Sauvignon charateristics. Really fresh and precise. This is such an impressive show of the grape and the region at any price let alone this one.

Serious stuff.

From a parcel of old vines on quite special amphibolite rock.

Intense minerality on the nose - a real stony quality gives the impression that this could be incredibly lean. But on the palate there is remarkable richness and depth. Some very enjoyable fruit behind all that salty mineral particularly on the long intense finish.

Superb.

Very traditional Loire style Sauvignon Blanc. Crunchy, mineral with suggestions of grapefruit and blackcurrant leaves. More subtle then Domaine Ricard's example. A nice green apple note on the long refreshing finish.

Light, citrusy, floral notes on the nose. Crisp crunchy apples over the top.

This has a lovely lively, fresh crunch on the palate with nice mineral overtones. Not a deep oily Riesling example but for this price it has really good pure fruit.

Light, fresh citrusy notes - very fruity with that tell tale gewurz lychee, aromatic blossom character.

Very easy, fresh and fruity without suffering from that over unctuous oiliness that can be associated with this grape.

The 'other' white grape of Burgundy - and so often (and quite deservedly) given bad press.

This is a fresh, citrus lemon, nicely crisp white. It has a bit of back bone and even a bit of weight later in the palate. Easily as good as many Chardonnay at this price - in fact better then a lot.
