TASTING NOTES & TAKE HOME PRICES
Cuvée des Conti White 2022 - £13/bottle
Golden yellow in colour with a hint of green. Classic Semillon aromas of honey and lemon with notes of acacia and grass. Creamy and waxy in texture. On the palate broad and open flavours of apricots, peaches and candied peel with a hint of marzipan and truffle. Well balanced with a subtle acidity.
~
Moulin des Dames White 2020 - £23/bottle
Pale gold in the glass. On the nose scents of honey, citrus fruits and quince. A full-bodied and complex palate of peach and apricot with a touch of spice from the oak. Excellent acidity with a firm tannic grip and a long, mineral finish make this a versatile food wine.
~
La Gloire de mon Père Red 2020 - £16/bottle
Dark ruby-red in the glass. Scents of blackberries and violets with a touch of vanilla on the nose. Very smooth and creamy on the palate. Concentrated flavours of black fruits and cherries and a hint of smoke. Really nice long finish.
~
Pétillant Natural 2022 - £14/bottle
A light straw in the glass with a gentle mousse. Aromas of pears and apples with a touch of citrus. On the palate, ripe yet fresh with a subtle acidity and smooth finish.
