.02 BY THE GLASS 125ml / 375ml / 750ml SPARKLING
2015 Vincent Careme, ‘L’Ancestrale’, Vouvray £9 | - | £49 France, Loire Valley | Chenin Blanc A stunning sparkling Vouvray from one of the Loire’s rising stars. Nervy, fresh & mineral, yet with tons of spice, honey & a hint of sweetness.
NV Wiston Estate, Blanc de Blancs South Downs £13 | - | £71 England, Sussex | Chardonnay From one of England’s leading producers of sparkling wine. Incredible, fine lined acidity matched by apple pastry typicity & ripe stone fruit tones.
NV Lamiable, Extra Brut Tours Sur Marne £15 | - | £81 France, Champagne | Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier A classic grower Champagne. Some autolytic character kept in place by crisp, fresh acidity.
NV Laherte Freres, ‘Les 7’, Coteaux sud d’Epernay £27 | - | £145 France, Champagne | All seven Champagne varieties A highly unusual blend of all 7 (yes 7!) permitted Champagne grapes. Brown pear skins with hints of yellow peach & nashi. Truly something different.
WHITE 2017 Feudi di San Gregorio, ‘Albente’ £5 | £15 | £28 Italy, Campania | Falanghina Classic southern Italian flavours of waxy lemon, white flowers & green almonds. A wonderful (dry) all-rounder from the volcanic soils of the south.
2017 Monemvasia Winery £6 | £18 | £34 Greece, Peloponnesus | Kidonitsa Under-ripe pineapple & quince with subtle floral character. Crisp, aromatic, delicate & (thankfully) a million miles away from Retsina!
2016 Dom. de la Grange de Quatre Sous, ‘Bu N’Daw’ £8 | £24 | £46 France, Languedoc | Petite Arvine A traditionally alpine grape gets some holiday sun on the southern coast. Aromatic lemon balm & verbena with some decent weight on the palate.
.03 BY THE GLASS 125ml / 375ml / 750ml WHITE - CONTINUED 2016 Menti, ‘Monte del Cuca’ £10 | £30 | £51 Italy, Veneto | Garganega Texture & grip but still retains plenty of ripe fruit. Love it or loathe it, orange wine is now (deservedly) a valid part of the wine lexicon.
2016 La Raia, Riserva Gavi DOC £10 | £30 | £53 Italy, Piemonte | Cortese Straw, almond & wild flowers on the nose with a broader, more intense, loquat & apricot on the palate.
2015 Bertin-Delatte, ‘Echalier’ Vin De France £12 | £36 | £60 France, Loire Valley | Chenin Blanc Super complex, honey & brown pear skin with grapefruit pith & green pear on the palate. Made with grapes sourced from Rablay-sur-Layon.
2018 Gai’a Wines, ‘Wild Ferment’ Santorini PDO £13 | £39 | £66 Greece, Santorini | Assyrtiko This wine takes on serious weight & sweet spice with the use of new oak. A stately, full wine that pushes this grape into new, exciting territory.
2016 Domaine Perrin, ‘Combe Bazin’ Saint-Romain AOC £14 | £42 | £74 France, Burgundy | Chardonnay This wine is aged on the lees of the previous years Meursault giving extra richness, weight & texture to intense yellow fruit.
2016 Skerk Venezia Giulia IGT £17 | £51 | £88 Italy, Carso | Malvazija Stunning aromatics of sandalwood & orange peel with bitter green herb on the palate. Some good grip also from extended skin contact.
2007 Sybille Kuntz, Scharz Feinherb £18 | £54 | £95 Germany, Mosel | Riesling Opulent baked lemon & sweet tropical fruits spiked with ginger spice. A powerful wine that balances sweetness, weight & acidity on a razor’s edge.
2015 Dom. Darviot-Perrin, ‘Clos de la Velle’ Meursault AOC £24 | £72 | £130 France, Burgundy | Chardonnay A site often defined by tauter citrus character that frames the power of Meursault fruit perfectly. Rich & powerful rather than cooked & flabby.
.04 BY THE GLASS 125ml / 375ml / 750ml RED 2016 Clos des fous, ‘Pour Ma Gueule’ £6 | £18 | £33 Chile, Itata | Malbec, Syrah, Cabernet, Cinsault & more... A real “fruit basket” of a wine with red berries, black plums, cherries, violets & pepper. Full-throttle without being overbearing.
2014 Dom. de la Bérangeraie, ‘Cuvée Juline” Cahors AOC £7 | £21 | £37 France, Cahors | Malbec A very French rendition of Malbec: juicier black fruits with a streak of fresh acidity, crushed purple flowers & lovely ripe tannin.
2016 Gillardi, ‘Cursalet’ Dogliani DOCG £8 | £24 | £44 Italy, Piemonte | Dolcetto Dry morello cherry & clay with brooding plum, ferrous earth & stunning chalk tannin. A wine that transcends this grape’s “little brother” reputation.
2016 A Veredas Rioja Crianza £10 | £30 | £54 Spain, Rioja | Tempranillo Fresh & luscious fruit with silky tannins & touches of oak spice. A bright, full wine that avoids being jammy or overbearing.
2017 Ministry of Clouds McLaren Vale GI £13 | £39 | £65 Australia, South Australia | Grenache Really shows off the heights this under-rated grape can achieve in the right conditions. Bright lifted purple plums & flowers with spice & dried herbs. 1999 Markovitis ‘Chateau Pegasus’ £13 | £40 | £69 Greece, Naoussa | Xinomavro An icon of aged Greek wine. Leather & red earth frame desiccated redcurrants & sour cherry. Vibrant & full of life well into it’s second decade.
2011 Château Capbern Gasqueton Saint Estèphe AOC £14 | £42 | £71 France, Bordeaux | Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot Classic juicy black plum cassis & graphite that’s just starting to garner the slightest hint of development. A consistent over-performer in the region. 2016 Blankbottle, ‘But Why?’ £15 | £44 | £76 South Africa, Western Cape | Cabernet Sauvignon Generous dark black fruits & dairy milk chocolate balanced by soft, ripe tannins & plenty of length. A textbook expression of new world Cabernet.

2018 Mount Horrocks, ‘Cordon Cut’ Clare Valley GI - 375ml bottle £12 | £54 Australia, South Australia | Riesling An undersung star of Australian dessert wine. Sweetly delicate with aromas of lemon curd & orchard fruit balanced by laser-like acidity.
2002 Château Suduiraut Sauternes AOC - 750ml bottle £13 | £118 France, Bordeaux | Sauvignon Blanc & Semillon Settling into middle age with broader fruits, marzipan & honey. Touches of botrytis lend saffron & marmalade yet this still retains freshness on the finish.
2013 Quinta da Romaneira Late Bottled Vintage Port - 750ml bottle £6 | £60 Portugal, Douro | Tinta Nacional Full of ripe dark fruit & spices. A great pairing with cheese or chocolate.

.20 VIN DOUX NATUREL All served in 75ml glass
Oft-overlooked for more fashionable regions, the fortified wines of France’s South- West represent incredible value with a remarkable depth of back-vintages still readily available. The combination of fortification alongside a healthy dose of oxygen & slow heat means these wines are practically immortal!
My notes below come from two tastings of more than 40 different vintages from across the region. I’ve tried to pick out a few favourites to represent the range of styles this wine can offer.
1983 Riveyrac Rivesaltes AOC £12 France, Languedoc | Grenache Noir/Blanc/Gris & Maccabeu Super rancio & nut on a crazy intense nose. Sweet orange & fig with roaring acidity, a grapefruit mid-palate & chocolate raisin finish. An insane finish!
1973 L’Archiviste Rivesaltes AOC £13 France, Languedoc | Grenache Noir/Blanc/Gris & Maccabeu Nose of lemon balm, orange peel & caramels. Hints of bitter orange & raisin alongside minty eucalypt. Intensely ripe orange by the finish.
1962 Domaine La Sobilane Rivesaltes AOC £20 France, Languedoc | Grenache Noir Darker nose with walnut, coffee & fig tones. Tawny-esque at first, fresh citrus & walnut turns to coffee & smoke on the finish with roaring acidity.
1952 Domaine La Sobilane Rivesaltes AOC £20 France, Languedoc | Grenache Noir Milk chocolate nose with more caramels & toffee. Luscious sweetness at first but acids keep things from going syrupy. Lots of toasted hazelnut & walnut.
1946 Château Mossé Rivesaltes AOC £22 France, Languedoc | Grenache Noir/ Gris & Maccabeu Madeira-like with flashy citrus & walnut on the nose. Mostly Grenache but not sure you could tell at this point! Oxidative, nutty finish goes on for days.
