Light, elegant, youthful and full of verve. The perfect apéritif.

Subtle, light and elegant, with a refreshing trace of minerality. An aromatically spiced nose, with some elements of crushed apple, revealing good fruit intensity and weight. It is stylish and bright on the palate, with good length and very pure acidity. Ideal as an accompaniment to shellfish.

Intense gold with persistent fine mousse. The nose opens with floral rose notes and warms to toasted brioche. The mouth is full and fresh with spicy floral characters against a background of candied yellow fruit. The finish is long and dry.

A speciality of the house made from 100% Chardonnay from Grand Cru vineyards in the Cête des Blancs. A sophisticated and elegant blanc de blancs which is a perfect foil for fresh fish or as an apéritif.

Sir Winston Churchill was Pol Roger's most illustrious devotee and customer. The composition of the blend is a closely guarded family secret but from tasting it is likely that the champagne features about 70-80% Pinot Noir with the remainder made up from Chardonnay. The grapes are all from Grand Cru vineyards which were under vine during Churchill's lifetime and it is only ever made in the very best vintages. It is made in a style which Churchill himself favoured: robust, mature and long-lived.

The nose opens with hints of beeswax and apricot which are repeated on the palate and reinforced with notes of acacia honey. Despite its sweetness it is remarkably refreshing and a sporting acidity leaves the palate cleansed. This would be the perfect toast to serve with wedding cake but equally it complements tarts and crumbles.

Charmingly fresh, crystalline and sharp, with a subtly vegetal nose complemented by hints of white pepper and gardenia. A tactile palate reminiscent of anis and dried ginger is balanced by light pear and mango skin characters, and the finish is superbly long and curiously serene.

Extravagant and expansive, with lovely toast, soft spices and dried fruit. Crisp and clean.

With exceptionally fine bubbles, La Grande Dame exudes fabulous mineral and floral characteristics of chalk, acacia and ferns. A studied contemplation of the nose reveals subtle citrus, apricot, sweet almond, tobacco and delicate herbs. Pure, smooth and clean cut in the mouth, with a finely structured and lively finish.

Powerful aromas of dried fruit and a nice floral touch on the nose, together with brioche and toast undertones. In the mouth it is firm and structured, with masses of substance. A great accompaniment to lobster or scallops, and perhaps in a couple or years to poultry or veal dishes.

An enjoyably fruity and yeasty rosé, with plenty of character and complexity.

Full of strawberry, subtle raspberry and blackcurrant, with a great finish.

A powerful bouquet discloses concentrated citrus fruit aromas, even stewed strawberries. In the mouth, the balance between minerality and firmness from the tannins and the mature fruit has produced a full-bodied Champagne, full of personality. The finish reveals the wine’s youthfulness and suggests that it has a bright future both on its own and when paired with food.

A refined and sophisticated Champagne, blended using a high proportion of Chardonnay which affords it impressive suppleness, consistency and balance.

Sophisticated and generous nose of fresh red fruit, followed by dried fruit, nutty and toasty aromas of almonds, brioche and apricots. The palate is delicate, well balanced and full of personality.

This Pouilly Fuissé Villages is delicious, showing peachy notes with a hint of almond.

'Les Chevrières' shows lovely concentration, with brioche and almond flavours.

Françoise makes a very feminine Montagny. The oak is very light and the floral and mineral characters are very prominent. The terroir of Montagny, due to its altitude, tends to give the wines freshness and racy acidity. Montagny is a very versatile white wine that can match a variety of food.

The Savagnin tastes of bruised apples, fresh walnut, vanilla and caramel. Watch out also for amazing aromas of fresh curry powder with fenugreek to the fore. It is a baby vin jaune with a highly developed style.

The flavours are reminiscent of pear, gingerbread, spice and honey, with a touch of nougat. The mouthfeel is soft, mellow and off-dry, with a fabulous flash of acidity. This would be splendid with river fish such as pike or perch, or veal escalope, or even with the local Beaufort cheese.

A nicely balanced wine, with aromas of white fruit and blossom. The clairette brings freshness and the white Grenache brings body and softness.

Mineral, with a gunflint note on the nose (which is characteristic of the granite soils the vines grow in). Round on the attack, with a honeyed and floral finish.

After Chateau Grillet, a Condrieu is probably the best example of Viognier. Intense perfume and complex aromatic flavours dominate the nose. The palate develops into ripe apricot, peach and honey characters. The intense richness gives a light sensation of sweetness but the wine is dry and finishes with mineral and savoury notes.

Elegant peach, apricot and toast on the nose. The palate is rich, complex and full-bodied, and its oak is beautifully integrated.

A tropical nose is balanced by an attractive and contrasting palate that might just be grapefruit. Bravo Château La Nerthe.

This gets better every year, and is punchy with acidity and full of orchard fruit flavour. Bâtonnage lasts for eight months. This is a big, generous wine: quite golden in colour, with a nose of orchard fruits burnished by the sun, conjuring up images of a half misty/half sunny early autumn afternoon.

Made with Roussane, Grenache and Rolle, the white shows notes of citrus fruits such as grapefruit and green lemon, together with a sensation of fruit barks and liquorice.

Lots of aromatic intensity on the nose, with a supple, soft and mineral palate. Integrated oak.

Fresh and zippy with delicious citrus fruit characters and hints of gooseberry.

A typical example of Southern French Viognier. Fresh and dry, while showing characteristic apricot richness.

The north-facing slopes at high altitudes in the Haut Languedoc, along with Catherine's hard work in the vineyard and minimum intervention, are the secret to create this perfectly balanced wine. The exact blend is something of a mystery! However it does contain some Chardonnay and Roussanne.

The Chardonnay benefits particularly from this micro-climate due to a cooler growing season and chalky soil, allowing for much more complexity than is usual in the Languedoc. Quince and citrus fruits, well balanced, light oak.

Purity and perfection, an outstanding blend of the Clovallon cepages. Without question one of the great French whites. A confident wine that balances its fruit and richness brilliantly. Would go well with foie gras.

The white is a blend of Chardonnay, Marsanne, Bourbulenc and Muscat. It is highly aromatic, but shows concentration due to its low yields of 25 hl/ha.

Delicate peony and raspberry aromas, with subtle cassis on the palate. Lively acidity and a rounded, elegant finish.

Lovely elegant mineral structure and great acidity. A charming wine, with a refreshing lack of sweetness.

A tribute to the founder of biodynamic principles, half of the wine's vinification has taken place in oak (20% new). The wine is generous and satisfying, with a lovely mineral structure and elegant spiciness from its light oak. Ideal with rich white meat dishes or matured cheese.

Light, fresh, clean and delicious. It combines pretty aromas of cherry and wildflowers and bright, sweet fruit on the palate.

A ripe and juicy wine, ready for drinking.

Reminiscent of the 1995 vintage, round, well structured, with pronounced ripe fruit. Drink now.

Juicy cassis fruit, with good weight and length.

A powerful and masculine Côtes de Nuits, with a wonderful expression of terroir and great typicity.

A staightforward and honest expression of Pinot Noir. Flourishes of violet, morello cherry, raspberry and strawberry. Round silky tannins.

A thoroughbred of a wine, with fantastic aromatic depth, this wine oozes power and finesse. Lots of red fruit and violet characters.

The vines that are used for this wine are settled on the slopes above the Premier Crus that produce powerful, complex and mineral wines. Blackcurrant, cherry, bilberry and redcurrant characters abound. Great with roast or braised game dishes.

This light wine is a brilliant spring/summer wine. Soft, packed with raspberry and strawberry flavours and a gently tannic finish.

Similar to Fleurie, this elegant and refined Beaujolais is rather more complex and structured than its more illustrious neighbour. Made from the Gamay grape variety, it is packed with juicy cherry and strawberry characters, while the light tannins provide a lovely spicy finish. Worth trying it slightly cool!

Absolutely bursting with ripe, rich red and black fruit characters, this Gamay also has brilliant minerality.

Croix des Rameaux, from beautifully exposed prime plots of 80 year old vines and aged in 3-5 year old barrels after prolonged fermentation, displays a wonderfully wild nose of leather, tar and red cherry, and palate-punching dark fruits. Stylistically it appears to straddle Burgundy and the Rhône.

Very ripe red fruit. Firm and meaty tannins, with small red berry and spice characters.

Aromas of ripe red cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant. A very round and enjoyable wine.

Syrah dominates the blend, and in contrast to the Heloïse this wine is beautifully defined and masculine in character. Blackberry, liquorice, garrigue and spice abound.

A blend of Grenache and Syrah (50% each) and has spent no time in oak. Bursting with ripe raspberry jam flavours, the palate develops into vanilla and liquorice flavours, the tannins are structured but ripe and round, and the long mineral finish is a beautiful expression of its terroir.

In a blend that is 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah, the Gigondas is a more powerful wine than the Vacqueyras, with great structure and intensity, dominated by blackberry and sweet spices.

A soft and harmonious palate with garrigue herbs and black pepper characters, and a long velvety finish.

Complex, with a rich and full palate of cooked blackberries, big but round spicy tannins with a very long nuanced and mineral finish.

A typical GSM blend dominated by Grenache, this wine is bursting with prune, red fruit and black pepper characters, velvety tannins and a liquorice finish.

A chewy Châteauneuf with smoky roasted meat character, black cherries and Kirsch, pepper and garrigue herbs. Rich, deep and generous, with a sweetness of fruit and a lush finish, with firm but sweet tannins and a suspicion of dark chocolate.

Intense cassis flavours and lovely approachable tannins. Coming from a part of the vineyards known as ‘Le Castellet’, this is Cabernet that reflects its terroir rather than the varietal.

The Thibaut has an intense, brilliant and lively dark red colour. The nose is marked by aromas of spice and stewed fruit, and is fully expressive of its typicity. On the palate, the wine is rounded and balanced with a tannic finish that is noticeable yet refined. Time for some grilled country bread rubbed with garlic and tomato, and some of the best Bayonne ham!

Purple-black in colour and could probably age forever, a veritable vin de garde. Such is the fruit quality that it will be drinking beautifully soon. The wine is named after Charles de Batz Castelmore a'Artagnan, a French soldier under Louis XIV and inspiration for Dumas.

The refined Malbec grape reaches new heights here at the Chateau du Cèdre. Deep, dark and elegant, Pascal Verhaeghe's wines are flagship wines of the Cahors appellation and reveal the superb terroir of this estate.
