DOMAINE LA CARMOISE GAMAY - Touraine - Henri Marionnet Henri Marionnet is, without doubt, one of the Loire's greatest winemakers. His Touraine Gamay is super-ripe and full of plummy red and black fruit aromas. The Sauvignon Blanc is full of lemon-imbued aromas with lots of citrus fruit flavours. | 1999 | £75.50 |
|
CHINON CUVEE TERROIR - Charles Joguet At the heart of the Loire valley lies the little appellation of Chinon and it is here that the Cabernet Franc grape reaches its apogee. Almost Burgundian in style, these wines are full of soft, redcurrant fruit and have a sweet, velvety texture. One sip and you will be hooked. | 1998 | £89.50 |
|
SAMUR-CHAMPIGNY - Chateau du Hureau Although international acclaim has resulted in huge demand for the wines of Philippe Vatan, we have managed to secure a small parcel of his current releases. His whites are round and full with lovely flavours of honey, ripe grapefruit and a subtle hint of vanilla spice from judicious use of oak. The red is a blend of old and young vines from different locations and is supple and rich with lots of red and blackcurrant flavours with a complexity that developes with age. | 1997/8 | £98.50 |
