Great too with slightly spicy dishes as well as pizza/pasta, poultry, asparagus and goats cheese. So when you need a cool white wine to go with just about everything - go for this one!

...and it is super with fish pie!

The Arbois (pronounced ah-bwah) grape can make the most thrilling dry, white wine. It is cousin to the Chenin grape so can be laid down for many, many years.

Step out and try this stunning wine. Drink it now or lay down for up to 10 years.

Raised on the terroir of Bué, when you taste it you will suddenly remember the day when you first discovered Sancerre and fell in love with it. Leave it to breathe for about 20 minutes after opening. Then just let the different flavours fill your mouth. You will discover what Sancerre should really taste like. Dry, fruity, full and slightly flinty. This outstanding wine will accompany goats cheese, gourmet chicken dishes or even slightly spicy dishes. Go on - spoil yourself!

Cheverny Blanc  2006 
Situated at the foot of the fabulous Château of Chambord this tiny appellation, Cheverny, makes the most outstanding white wines.

The wines are dry and fruity and wonderfully  blended from the sauvignon blanc (80%) and chardonnay (20%) grapes. This is the best white Cheverny wine I have tasted in a long while. It is light and smooth with slightly flinty overtones on the back of the tongue. It will go with all fish dishes, roast chicken and pasta dishes and of course goats cheese. Wow your friends with a wine that is slightly different from the norm. They will love it and so will you!

    Muscadet Sèvre & Maine sur Lie  2005 

    Muscadet wine growers have all worked so hard to recreate the famous wines which they inherited from the Romans who first planted vines in the area. The wines are powerful, dry and fresh white wines, and really quite amazing!

    Bruno Cormerais has raised his "cuvée vieilles vignes" from 40 years old vines planted on the now-famous granite de clisson slopes. It is a powerful wine with loads of fruit. Just imagine a large platter of freshly cooked whitebait; or smoked herrings and sprats. Yumm! With this wine it will be really outstanding.

     TWO SILVER MEDALS!  Well worth it;

    Touraine Rosé d'Aunis  2004 

    The Pineau d'Aunis grape variety can only grow in this region of the Loire Valley and is probably the oldest grape variety known in the area. It resembles no other rosé in the world. It grows pink on the vines. The colour in the glass is salmon-pink and the flavour is of peppery strawberries. It is totally different from any rosé you have ever tasted. It is dry, fresh and mellow. It will happily accompany any summer dish, however, it is a dream with cold cuts, salads and barbecues. It can be consumed young or, like so many Loire wines, will keep for many years. Serve chilled or room temperature. Drink now or keep for up to 10 years.

    Sorry, out of stock for the moment!
