Add to cart$26.00in any six
$30.00 per single bottle
Raised on its lees without oak, the 2018 Salvard Val de Loire Sauvignon Blanc is a textural and vibrant white. Packed with aromas and flavours of zingy citrus and mouth-watering orchard fruit before a bright, snappy-crisp finish. It’s all enough to restore your faith in ‘value’ Sauvignon Blanc. Those Delaille brothers never let you down! […]

Francois Chidaine Touraine Sauvignon Blanc 2018
Add to cart$31.00in any six
$35.00 per single bottle
Born from incredibly low yields of intensely flavoured berries, the 2018 Touraine Sauvignon Blanc is a very strong vintage from Francois Chidaine. It combines a mouthful of fleshy ripe fruit with bracing freshness. There is also plenty of complexity from wild fermentation and lees ageing. The depth of flavour and interest here is very impressive […]

Francois Chidaine Vin de France le Chenin d’Ailleurs 2016
Add to cart$39.00in any six
$42.00 per single bottle
This great value, lip-smacking, crystalline Chenin from the southern soils of the Limoux region (more famous for its sparkling wines), is made in the spirit of Montlouis. A more racy, juicy and playful style than this grower’s northern Chenin, yet it remains classically detailed and pure, with teasing aromas of ripe citrus, yellow plum and […]

Vincent Pinard Sancerre ‘Flores’ 2015
$49.00in any six
$53.00 per single bottle
100% tank fermented and aged. As the name suggests this cuvee is very floral. Fine crisp and very classic there is plenty lemon, lime and grapefruit zest with a ripe juicy acidity, a strong complex terroir dimension is obvious, too, with its chalky, mineral touches.

Damien Laureau Savennieres “La Petite Roche” 2018
Add to cart$50.00in any six
$58.00 per single bottle
Damien Laureau’s 2018 La Petite Roche has a greater concentration of fruit than the 2016, riper acids and more succulence. To put this in perspective though, Laureau makes extremely pure, precise and mineral chenin blanc and the 2018 is true to form with just a little bit more flesh. A truly gorgeous wine for slightly […]

$68.00 per single bottle
This much-loved 100% Chenin Blanc is made from late harvested grapes from a range of Chidaine’s old Chenin plots – including the Clos du Volagray, Saint-Martin and Grillonnieres – sites that have stony soils and are heavy in yellow limestone (or tuffeaux).

Damien describes this wine as his favourite and also his best wine for drinking young. In 2014 this wine is made mostly from vines planted on sand in some of the highest parts of the appellation located up behind Roches aux Moines in the lieu-dit of Moulin de Beaupres. The sandy silty topsoil over schist […]

Thibaud Boudignon Anjou Blanc 2017
Add to cart$66.00in any six
$76.00 per single bottle
Chenin as Riesling. The 2017 Anjou Blanc from Thibaud Boudignon is utterly different from the ‘a Francoise’. Tighter, finer and more linear, the fruit profile is more citrus and white peach, rather than the yellow fruits of the ‘a Francois’. Rippling power and energy, the fruit really dominates with faint notes of lavender honey, nuts […]

This vineyard’s soil is composed of deep clays and white chalk.

Roches Neuves Insolite Saumur Blanc 2016

$77.00 per single bottle
100% Chenin Blanc, Insolite’s fruit comes from a special, biodynamic, densely planted 90 year old vineyard on complex, clay, limestone, sandstone and flint soils. Low yields create a crystalline and intense personality to the wine. Small batches of fruit go into a pneumatic press, and the juice then undergoes a slow, natural fermentation in 1,200 […]

Clos Naudin Vouvray Sec 2017
Add to cart$68.00in any six
$78.00 per single bottle
For lovers of “classic” Vouvray vintages, the 2017 Clos Naudin Vouvray Sec should set the heart racing. Extremely elegant, with notes of white flowers, honey, melon and spice. Restrained power comes to mind, and the wine bears more than a passing resemblance to dry Mosel Riesling. Clear and cool and made to be a very […]

Francois Chidaine Les Argiles Vouvray 2017
Add to cart$73.00in any six
$84.00 per single bottle
This has a simply charming nose, very open in style, tangerine fruit marked with minerally veins. The palate shows a little hint of an incisive character at the start, before it relaxes to reveal a broad seam of pithy tangerine, apple and peach fruit. An undeniably ripe style, with tight central seams of chalky mineral […]

This much-loved 100% Chenin Blanc is drawn from the second, later pickings from a range of Chidaine’s old Chenin plots – including the Clos du Volagray, Saint-Martin and Les Grillonnières – sites that have stony soils, heavy in yellow limestone (or tuffeaux).

Francois Chidaine Les Bournais Montlouis 2016

$85.00 per single bottle
Unlike most of Montlouis, which is on clay and flint, this four hectare vineyard (planted in 1998) lies on a pocket of clay and Bournais limestone, the stone from which it takes its name. It’s a beautiful site, certainly one of Montlouis’ finest. Chidaine’s vinification here is exactly the same as his Clos de Breuil […]

Clos Naudin Vouvray Demi-Sec 2017

$87.00 per single bottle
Clos Naudin is one of the great Vouvray estates. Although the wine is off-dry, the sweetness lends it incredible tension and some extra heft. Clos Naudin’s 2017 Vouvray Demi-Sec has an uncanny quality of richness and texture combined with explosive energy. Very complex notes of quince, peach, stone fruits, walnut, and honey, never straying into […]

$97.00 per single bottle
With an average yield across the domaine of just 5-6hl/ha, only two Vouvray’s were made in 2016. The lion’s share was picked very ripe and collated into this (sublime) cuvée. The residual finished somewhere in the 20-30g/lt range, yet the weightlessness and energy here makes the wine seem like a ripe and luscious, yet almost […]

Generously exotic scents of fresh pineapple, green lemon, grapefruit and white flowers on the nose. Power, complexity, structure, straightness and finesse define this wine. A noble wine. Very long lived.

This has a beautifully pure style on the nose, reminiscent of dessert apples and pears, showing a sweeter and more confident vein. The palate is fresh, laden with polished fruit character, intertwined with gentle acids and minerals, wrapped within a cushion of soft and sweet fruit. This is convincing, pure, vibrant and flavoursome, but it […]
