This really is a top-notch Crémant. Charming nose displays evocative toasty notes along with touches of bruised apple and spice. Once in the mouth it doesn't disappoint, with a fine mousse, persistent honey-dipped apple flavours and wonderful balance. Cracking stuff!
Popular£17.00Sparkling wine from near Limoux, from vineyards planted with Champagne grape varieties. Pinot Noir for body, and floral fruity distinction from Chardonnay. A great copy of Champagne.
£20.00Lovely biscuity, ripe fruit nose with citrus and yellow plum notes. On the palate the wine is generous with plenty of ripe fruit, touch creamy, bread and mocha, then a lovely mouthwatering acidity giving excellent length and balance.
£22.00A blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, with about 10% Chardonnay to give a dash of elegance. Considerably better than some widely available cheap Grandes Marques, and very consistent in quality and value.
£29.00Our absolute favourite blanc de blancs (100% pure Chardonnay) champagne, not least because it beats the pants off any big label champagne at a similar price level, but the sheer class of this bright, yet excitingly complex champagne will make you want another bottle even before you've finished the first.
£37.50Bollinger Rosé is modelled on the Special Cuvée blend, combining the fruits of previous harvests plus the addition of reserve wines from their cellars in Ay. The final component, which provides colour and delicate aromas of ripe red fruits, is a proportion of still red wine coming exclusively from Bollinger's Grand Cru Vineyards in the Cote d'Ay and Verzenay. Very Bollinger in style, and yet with freshness and elegance that is almost surprising for a wine from this house.
£65.00The 2006 Dom Pérignon is a beautifully balanced, harmonious fine champagne. Rich, voluptuous and creamy, the 2006 shows off fabulous intensity in a style that brings together the ripeness of 2002 with the greater sense of verve and overall freshness that is such a signature of the 2004.
£160.00Full of wonderful drive and push - the firm, bright fruit and mineral core are in perfect harmony.
£17.00Full of fabulous flavours of wild strawberries, creamy acidity and a long, crisp, dry finish. This can be drunk all too easily on its own, and is the perfect partner for any summer day. 60% Cinsault, 20% Grenache, 20% Syrah.
Popular£17.00Bright, perfumed and intense, with attractive strawberry and red fruit on the nose and palate, underlined by a leafy character that is lively and zippy. A good deal of concentrated flavour supported by acidity and minerality that adds silkiness and texture.
£23.00Bright salmon in colour. A highly aromatic wine that opens with strawberries and cream then flavours of raspberry iced tea, red apple and pomegranate. A blood orange finish leaves you looking for the next sip.
£19.00From certified organic vineyards overlooking the sea in southern Tuscany, this 'rosato' is just delightfully pretty and delicate pink. Fresh, crisp, dry and incredibly drinkable!
£17.00We were delighted to discover this cracking summer white this year. A fresh white with a very slight prickle on the tongue made from Arinto, Trajadura and Loureiro, loaded with delicate aromatics, a zippy freshness and clean dry fruit and bright mineral finish. Brilliant value.
Popular£10.00This wine has a beautiful light yellow color, with delicate aromas of mandarin, orange, apples and tropical fruits. On the palate it is fresh and round with vanilla, honey and delicate oak notes.
Popular£11.50A very good, classically shaped Pinot Grigio. With bright fruit and refreshing acidity this does the job admirably for easy aperitif drinking and light lunches. A great example.

£13.50A lighter expression of Sauvignon de Touraine, but with all the freshness, fruit and minerality one would look for - and a cracking bargain.
£13.50Straight-talking, unoaked Chardonnay from this excellent small co-operative. The rich buttery texture of this wine is entirely down to quality of fruit and very good winemaking.

£16.50Gorgeous texture, soft warm lemon notes - peachy too - but finishes brightly with a hint of mineral lift. Grown on the granitic slopes of Val do Salnés, a sub-region of Rías Baixas this has classic character but with added flesh - yum.
£18.50A convergence of flavours from five separate vineyards, this is classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc at its finest. An abundance of blackcurrant, white peach and chalky aromas lead to a palate which is dry and refreshing with great concentration, beautiful fruit purity and mouthwatering acidity.

£11.00Formerly known as Clos Lagoru, this is rich and deep with lovely spiced plum and a touch of baked morello cherry. Best known as the grape of Provence’s much sought after Bandol (where it is known as Mourvedre), structure and intensity abound – but this is no beast - the weight of fruit is soft and luxurious with no hard edges. This is a great example of what Spain can do so well, huge bang for your buck.
£13.50Handpicked grapes grown at 1,050m altitude have developed into an intense ruby red wine. Fresh young berries with subtle notes of vanilla, soft round tannins. Great with beef, cheese and pasta!
£14.00This really is a superb vintage of this wine, so much to love in the more traditional Rioja style here, liquorice, coffee, meat juices, leather, redcurrants, herbs and cedar. But the palate then delivers everything in such a balanced style that it is a pure joy from first sip to last.
Popular£15.00Romain's 2014 is a cracking example of what can be done here with talented wine-making and top-notch vineyards. Even for this, his entry level wine, the vines are more than 50 years old. This is evident in the depth and class of this brilliant wine. Rich and deeply layered with spiced plum and dark berry fruit - this is a suave full yet brilliantly balanced red. Delicious, rich and long.

£28.50Some of the vineyards here are sandwiched between Poyferré and Las Cases, so no wonder Bruno Saintout is capable of turning out a Saint Julien which really does have all the hallmarks of a wine from this exceptional terroir. Juicy and lifted, with a lovely supple fruit and succulent length, this is a brilliant little Saint Julien for a very reasonable price.

£11.50An elegant late harvest wine with strong botrtyis character. The nose is citrusy and evokes bitter orange, fresh apricot, spices. The attack is gentle and continues with a broad, creamy structure, and round acidity, culminating in a lingering finish.

£57.50Christophe Perrot-Minot is now the fourth generation of his family producing wine on the estate after his great grandfather Amédée Merme devoted himself to the management and production of wine over 130 years ago. Quite heady and voluptuous. Rich and racy – really quite opulent. Good density in the mouth, with a slightly peppery quality contributing cut to the black fruit and coffee flavours.
£66.00The grandfather of all Supertuscans, breaking the mould for production in the Chianti region with numerous 'firsts'. It was the first Sangiovese wine to be aged in small oak barrels and the first modern red wine to use the Bordeaux variteties in the blend. A great wine with such perfect pedigree. Full body, soft and velvety tannins, and a persistent, fabulous finish. The mouthfeel is magic!
£130.00An explosion of fruit but somehow all against a calm silence of perfect balance. Black fruit flavours with fresh, high-toned feel. The palate is very supple and rounded, well integrated new oak, very harmonious with a touch of chocolate towards the finish.
£77.00An expressive and attractively layered nose features notes of plum, violet, black cherry and subtle wet stone nuances. Quite concentrated and powerful with plenty of mineral influence adding lift to the muscular middle weight flavours that deliver excellent length. Unsually big villages and while the abundant dry extract does a good job of buffering the firm tannins it still will need ample cellaring.
£58.00Lovely - silky fruit and a sense of drive and purpose. It is tannic, but this is well-done. With an up-front, forward, juicy, medium to full-bodied, fleshy style, it is a treat to drink now.
£49.00Very supple and smooth and serene and in this sense surprising for a pure Cab. Great harmony and fine texture, a real joy in its gentle authority.

£53.00Rich, musky and plush, offering lovely concentration and an impression of sweetness and strong extract. Lovely pure cool length.
£87.00Classically styled Meursault as we know and love it with plenty of buttery richness and savoury wheatmeal flavour, but all allied to deliciously succulent ripe orchard fruit and crackling vibrant acidity. Top quality white Burgundy.
£54.00The Drappier Carte d’Or expresses all the aromas of the noble grape variety Pinot Noir. This in fact constitutes at least 80% of the blend. A red grape producing white juice, it is sought after not only for its structure but also for its very characteristic fine notes of red fruits..
£80.00Our dangerously drinkable house Armagnac continues to please.
£35.00Pale gold in appearance, it has loads of fresh, clean apples on the nose with a robust and fruity palate. A good, clean straightforward Calvados that represents superb value for money. Fresh appley aromas with just a touch of oak. Full sweetish flavours, excellent balance and lengthy finish.

£52.00Dark, sherried 15yo malt from one of the best distilleries in Speyside. As always, Glenfarclas remains one of the best value malts on the market, especially compared to Macallan. Top-quality, consistently great whisky.
£67.00Vodka-based version of the classic summer refresher.
£22.50Distilled from English barley spirit and cut from the very top of the ‘heart’ run. The result is a genuinely handmade spirit which is deliciously smooth and buttery with an extraordinarily soft mouth feel. Sweet-dry balance with nuttyness & a hint of pepper coming through.

£36.50A complex gin from the Black Forest in Germany, which has an almost cult following. The 47 refers to both the number of botanicals used in it's creation, and the bottling strength of 47%. Citrussy and herbal, with an unmistakable hint of Lavender.
£54.00A brilliant dark rum for mixing, produced in Bermuda since 1806. The name comes from the black wax originally used to seal the bottles. Rich and well balanced this has enticing notes of butterscotch, vanilla and caramel. The signature serve is with ginger beer in a Dark 'n' Stormy.

£29.50The vital ingredient for your Summer Spritz. There is very little that is quite so satisfying or reviving at the start of a long summer's evening.
£20.00A beautifully sleek and elegant Vino Nobile in 2012. There is a really attractive richness too but this is by no means thick, great structure and impressively persistent.
