GAILLAC BLANC, ROSÉ & FIZZ
Gaillac Blanc Sec | |
 | From Mauzac and Sauvignon Blanc. Drier than the Perlé. Ideal for fish. Makes a great Kir. Price: Producer (Click For Details) |
Gaillac Blanc Perlé | |
 | Light, supple, aromatic and refreshing, this wine has the green apply flavour you would expect from the Mauzac grape with its traditional accompaniment of Sauvignon Blanc. The very subtle fizz is produced by a secondary natural spontaneous fermentation of the Mauzac in the bottle.Light, fresh, fruity wine with real depth…. Ideal for parties but perfect for drinking with salads, chicken, seafood or fish.’ Price: Producer (Click For Details) |
Gaillac Blanc Doux (Sweet) | |
 | From a late and selective hand-picking of Mauzac, it has a rich nose of honey and dried fruits. Very smooth in the mouth, drink as an aperitif or to accompany foie gras or cheese. Price: Producer (Click For Details) |
Gaillac Rosé | |
 | Strawberry pink in colour, this wine, from 100% Syrah, is so fruity you might think you were drinking a Kir. Strawberry, raspberry and red and blackcurrant, together with a touch of citrus. Mellow, smooth, with well balanced acidity and slightly dry, whilst still having a sweet fruitiness. Highly rated and under priced Price: Producer (Click For Details) |
Gaillac Méthode Traditionnelle | |
 | very refreshing and crisp from an area which claims to have passed its skills on to the Champagne region. As you would expect from an ‘assemblage’ of Mauzac and Len de L’El (Loin de l’Oeil - the ‘eyes’ or buds of the shoots are far apart) the sec is full of tangy (but not acid) fruit, but smooth, clean and full at the same time. The zesty citrus and apple leave a very pleasant aftertaste. Very easy to drink. (‘wonderfully zingy flavour of apples and citrus fruits, with plenty of long-lasting bubbles…..fabulous value’(Simon Hoggart - ‘The Spectator’)(‘the vivid essential greenness that marks the Bramley’s appeal….dabbed with kitchen spice……wonderful’ (Oz Clarke’s Wine Buying Guide)) Price: Producer (Click For Details) |
Gaillac Méthode Traditionnelle (demi-sec) | |
 | This demi-sec (the only one we sell) from Bicary is obviously sweeter than any of our other Méthode Traditionnelle. Inevitably, it is very like the Brut (above) but the extra, but not excessive, sweetness brings out more of the fruit, adding a grapey taste to the citrus and apple. Even easier to drink than the sec. Price: Producer (Click For Details) |

LANGUEDOC REDS
Pic St Loup, Vieilles Vignes 2001 | |
 | 2 parts Syrah to one part Grenache this is lighter (it is the absence of Mourvedre which does it) & fragrant with very soft tannins. Price: Producer (Click For Details) |
St Chinian, Fontanche Rouge 2004 | |
 | Knowing the quality of Fred Lornet’s Jura wines, we had no hesitation in stocking his first wines after recently buying Fontanche. These are fresh, full of fruit and lighter than many wines from this area. Beautiful! Price: Producer (Click For Details) |
St Chinian, Les Terroirs de Fontanche, Rouge 2004 | |
 | Fuller than the above, fresh fruit, smooth tannin Price: Producer (Click For Details) |
Les Centenaires, Rouge 2004 | |

JURA/ARBOIS WINES
Trousseau 2006 | |
 | The Trousseau grape produces a wine dissimilar to that from any other grape variety. It you gives round, robust, fruity, slightly peppery and minerally wines with great length and great ageing ability. Price: Producer (Click For Details) |
Trousseau des Dames 2005 | |
 | As above but made from hand-picked grapes from vines on ‘la Parcelle des Dames’ which produces the best fruit. Price: Producer (Click For Details) |
Arbois Pinot Noir 2005 | |
 | Pinot Noir is the mainstay of neighbouring Burgundy and in the similar climate of the Jura it works equally well. As you would expect , the nose is delicately fruity and the mouth full with the peppery and minerally side common to Arbois reds. Price: Producer (Click For Details) |
Arbois Rosé Ploussard 2006 | |
 | This rosé is made like a red wine with no saignée (see glossary) as the skin of the Ploussard releases little colour. It has a taste of red fruits with a spicy, smoky base. A very satisfying and unusual mouthful. Some tannin, so will develop well. Price: Producer (Click For Details) |
Arbois Vin Jaune 14º 62cl 2000 | |
 | The wine for which the Jura is best known. The Savagnin grapes are late picked and after fermentation the wine is stored in oak casks for a minimum of 6 years and 3 months. Evaporation (13cl - known as the angels' share - are lost from every 75cl, giving the odd bottle size) allows air into the cask and and a layer of yeast forms on top of the wine. In taste its nearest familiar relation would be an fine old fino sherry with a slightly nutty and spicy nose and like sherry it is drunk as an aperitif but also with nuts or foie gras. This wine won the 2005 gold medal for Arbois vin jaune. Price: Producer (Click For Details) |
Vin de Paille 37.5cl 2001 | |
 | Hand picking, sorting and drying the Savagnin, Poulsard and Chardonnay grapes for 6 weeks before slow fermentation and ageing in oak for at least 3 years gives a sweet, mellow wine of 15.5º, full of jammy fruitiness. Will keep and improve forever. Price: Producer (Click For Details) |
Arbois Naturé 2005 | |
 | Like a good Chardonnay with more than a hint of Sauvignon Blanc plus a bit more. We didn’t used to stock any other whites and the reason we have this wine is because we bring it in for ourselves ! However we have decided it would be selfish not to share. Naturé is the old name for the Savagnin or Traminer grape used in the famous oxidised Vin Jaune (see above). This however is the unoxidised version. Very fresh, balanced and lightly fruity, clean, nutty, slightly citrus. Price: Producer (Click For Details) |
Arbois Chardonnay 2006 | |
 | Fréderic Lornet's Chardonnay regularly (4 times since 1996) wins medals at the Chardonnay of the World competitions. The nose is crisp, very fruity and ever so slightly smokey. The taste confirms all of this with exceptional fullness Price: Producer (Click For Details) |
Savagnin 2003 | |
 | This starts off exactly the same way as the Vin Jaune above but is only allowed to oxidise for 3 years. Clean, crisp and slightly woody with a little butteriness. If you are unsure about going the whole hog with Vin Jaune why not start here or try the blend with Chardonnay below. Price: Producer (Click For Details) |
Chardonnay/Savagnin 2002 | |
 | A blend of the slightly oxidised Savagnin and the crisper Chardonnay (both above). Price: Producer (Click For Details) |
Crémant du Jura Rosé | |
 | 100% Ploussard/Poulsard. The bubbles are very fine, indicating slow fermentation. Pale peach in colour, it is very smooth, clean, and tasting of peach and strawberry. Like most wines from the Jura, it is very unusual. Try it once, you’ll be hooked. Price: Producer (Click For Details) |
Macvin 70cl | |
 | This aperitif is made in the same way as Pineau des Charentes or Floc de Gascogne by mixing Price: Producer (Click For Details) |
Fine du Jura 70cl 45º | |
 | Marc Brandy is the distllation of the lees (marc) left at the end of fermentation. Fruit with a kick. Price: Producer (Click For Details) |
Jura/Arbois Mixed | |
 | 1 bottle of each of the above 12 wines (does not include the Fine du Jura), (except the Crémant or Macvin (out of stock)) + an extra Naturé & an extra Pinot Noir Price: Producer (Click For Details) |
FIZZ, MÉTHODE TRADITIONNELLE & CRÉMANT
Jura, Crémant du Jura Rosé | |
 | If you have tasted these wines before you have probably dined in one of the top restaurants in New York. This rosé 100% Ploussard/Poulsard. The bubbles are very fine, indicating slow fermentation. It is peachy ! Pale and peach in colour, it is very smooth, clean and tasting of peach and strawberry. Like most wines from the Jura it is very unusual. Try it once, you'll be hooked.
