The prestige Cuvée Jules Richard is 100% unoaked Chardonnay, clean, fresh and lively, while the red, 100% Pinot Noir Bourgogne Rouge has well judged oak-ageing and soft red berry fruit.

From an unusual appellation in the foothills of the Alps off the Rhone. An organic producer of Clairette de Die a delightful, light, frothy, sweet, sparkling wine.

This year I’ve taken three red varietals from them: a Merlot, a Cabernet Sauvignon (both receiving sympathetic use of oak) and a Ull de Llebre (aka Tempranillo) light and herby. (We also have their dry, perfumed Riesling). They all represent excellent value.

From Italy’s biggest region for quality wines,in the hills behind Verona. We have one white, a Soave lookalike from 100% Garganega grapes, fresh, floral and fruity.

The first two Valpolicellas are light, fruity and refreshing but with some barrel and bottle age for the Gino; next a Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso - with oak and intensity coming from the process of extending the fermentation with the pressings from making the fourth classic wine: Amarone della Valpolicella.
