Bordeaux Superieur Chateau Manoubrey Appellation Bordeaux Superieur Controlee 2005
A wine from the wonderful vintage of 2005, and of Superieur status, Chateau Manoubrey is produced from 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, and 20% Cabernet Franc, the classic Bordeaux blend. Supple and full of fruit, it will keep and yet is drinking well now. Very good with any meat dish.

Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Jean Pernet
This champagne is produced by a smaller grower coming from vineyards of only six hectares in the Mesnil, recognised as the finest region of Champagne. Produced from 100% Chardonnay grapes, this is a truly classic champagne of superb quality. Crisp, stylish with a splendid mousse, a continuity of small bubbles and a delicious palate, this is dry with great balance and length and bottle aged to add elegance.

Sauvignon Blanc Chateau de la Blanche Appellation Cote de Duras Controlee 2007
This is a ‘Lutte Raisonnee’ estate. Lutte Raisonnee means ‘the reasoned struggle’ and is a movement which attempts to manage disease and pests with a minimum use of chemicals and uses practices for sustainable viticulture. The white wine is produced on clay-limestone soils and is of 100% Sauvignon Blanc. It is crisp, fresh and long with the typical gooseberry bouquet, and long fresh finish with superb balanced acidity. The white wine is made from the 2007 vintage – disappointing for red wines, but absolutely outstanding for white wines. This wine is quite delicious.
