Saint-Chinian ‘Jauzimen ‘ Rosé, Domaine de Lauzeta 2015
Only 720 cases are made of this of cinsault, grenache and syrah blend named after the Occitan for
‘happiness’ - the incredibly pale colour belies complex notes of cranberry and orange zest, accompanied
by a fine mineral balance. Worth grabbing at £10.70
Rosé
Being an optimist, I have chosen this selection of wines for consuming in the Indian Summer that I believe
awaits us. I’m sure that each will give you great pleasure. Salute Dick
Muscat de Rivesaltes ‘Envol des Sens’, Domaine Auriol
Grown on a cool clay-limestone soil, the grapes are hand-picked early in the morning and delicately pressed
after a short period of skin maceration. The nose has expressive notes of citrus and exotic fruit, while rich
fruit on the palate is complemented by a suggestion of mint. An excellent dessert wine at £11.70
Dessert
Tanguero unoaked chardonnay, Mendoza 2015
A lively pale lemon colour, the nose offers fresh notes of peach and pineapple; the palate is clean and
rounded, with attractive body and length. Classy chardonnay for £7.40
Grand Caillou sauvignon blanc, Patient Cottat 2014
Made by the Fournier family, long established in Sancerre, this is a bright and refreshing sauvignon blanc -
flavours of blackcurrant leaf and passion-fruit combine happily with vibrant acidity and minerality. A bargain
buy at £8.70
White
Andersbrook shiraz, Western Cape 2014
A ripe full-bodied shiraz from the Western Cape - spicy black pepper and dark fruit lead into a long, smooth
finish. Great value at £5.95 the bottle
Petit Paveil , Bordeaux 2012
From a ten-hectare parcel near the village of Soussans, this is the perfect introduction to the house style of
Margaux cru bourgeois Paveil de Luze - subtle red fruit, silky tannin and appealing freshness. A very decent
Claret at £8.90
