Description
Champagne Gremillet Sélection Brut NV
This award winning Champagne, drinks very nicely well chilled, on its own, but is also recommended with light nibbles, salads and simple fish dishes. 30% Chardonnay 70% Pinot Noir gives fresh floral aromas, combined with characteristic sweet brioche overtones, balanced by peach skin and baked biscuit flavours and a crisp citrus finish.
The vineyards, situated in the southern reaches of Troyes, achieve greater ripeness, which leads to a richer fruit and classic baked biscuit flavours mixed with characteristic toasty yeast overtones. Only the first, lightest pressings are used, as is usual for fine Champagne. Classic slow second fermentation in the bottle, followed by maturing on the lees, for at least 18 months before being disgorged and released for sale. ABV12.5% Vegetarian

Chateau Baron Bellevue 2014 Cotes de Bourg, Bordeaux, France
A Classic Bourg with characterful ripe fruit, warm spice and very approachable. Using Merlot 80% , Cabernet Sauvignon 15% , Cabernet Franc 5%
Mainly Merlot, this wine is typically ripe and spicy with wild bramble flavours, tasty tannins and a lovely gutsy character. Smooth and approachable, this is drinking very well now and should suit most palates. Claret and roast lamb with Rosemary go perfectly. Also good with farmhouse Cheddar.
Château Baron Bellevue’s 21 hectares are planted with the classic Bordeaux varieties – Merlot (80%), Cabernet Sauvignon (15%) and Cabernet Franc (5%) on chalky clay gravel. A third of the vines are over 30 years old, with the oldest planted in 1956. Vines are cultivated with a respect for the environment, without the use of insecticides. Bunches are thoroughly sorted, de-stemmed and gently pressed before a 20 day fermentation during which the juice is tasted daily to achieve the optimal extraction of flavour and colour. The wine is then aged for 18 months in the Château’s cellars, where the barrels are racked every three months until they are ready for bottling, which is also carried out at the château. 13% ABV , Cork
Tabali Pedregoso Viognier Gran Reserva, Chile
Made with 100% Viognier. This Viognier presents rich aromas of citrus, orange peel and dried apricot, fresh pears and white peaches, plus hints of candied fruit.
