Champagne France - Champagne Vintage Rose PERRIER-JOUET Rose 'Belle Epoque' 2004 Bottle £109.95 Cuvee Belle Eqoque Rosé is Perrier-Jouet's emblem which has become one of the most esteemed prestige cuvees in the world. The transparency of the magnificent bottle, with its Emile Galle floral decor, reveals its attractive pink tints.This is a delightful, gentle wine, with all the qualities of a great pink champagne that offers both roundness and vinosity: elegance, finesse, delicacy and subtle fruity aromas. An attractive, salmon-pink colour and fine, persistent bubbles. Very elegant aromas of red fruits: wild strawberries and redcurrants, with notes of honey and baked bread in the finish. On the palate it well-balanced and sustained and its great complexity reveals excellent length and power, while retaining a certain delicacy and freshness. Dessert Wine France - Bordeaux Sauternes/Barsac CHATEAU COUTET Barsac 2000 Bottle £36.95 **** A superb working of the natural botrytis phenomenom. The balance between acidity and alcohol is excellent. The wine is rich, fresh, complex, long, ample and fatty, marked by aromas and falvours of passionfruit. DECANTER (2001) **** 'Lovely lanolin fruitiness and citric freshness. On the palate it is very fresh, with good rich concentrated fruit and a very long flavour. This is classic Barsac style. CHATEAU COUTET Barsac 2005 Bottle £34.95 THE WINE SPECTATOR (James Suckling) 92-94 points - 'Intense aromas of honey, spice and candied lemons. Full-bodied, very sweet and dense, with a syrupy mouthfeel and a long finish. This is very concentrated. Almost classic quality.' JANCIS ROBINSON 19/20 - 'Hint of bronze, blossomy on the nose. Very full and intense and has absolutely MASSES of weight. Unmissable. You could slice this in two. Most impressive. This should live for almost ever. Very neat finish. Acidity well hidden. Drink 2018–35' CHATEAU COUTET Barsac 2007 Bottle £37.95 JANCIS ROBINSON 18.5 points 'Mid honeyed gold. Strong botrytis. Massive richness – real tingle factor and excitement. Long and very thorough and intriguing. Lots of development still to come. Still chewy. Energetic. Long. Drink 2018-35' ROBERT PARKER 93-95 points 'A fresh, lively, zest nose with touches of honey, frangipane and mango. The palate is very fresh and well-defined, viscous honeyed fruits, vibrant acidity and so much freshness on the finish. Harmonious and sophisticated, this is a lovely Coutet with long-term potential. Sublime. Drink 2010-2030. Tasted April 2008.' CHATEAU D'YQUEM 1iere Grand Cru Classe Sauternes 1994 £179.95 Bottle Everything thing comes to those who wait, and it was not until the beginning of October in a race against time that the berries of Semillion and Sauvignon attacked by botrytis were delicately harvested. In the hands of the cellar master these fruit globes were transformed into a golden river. Waves of deliciously concentrated essences a fragrant voyage upon notes of flowers, acacia and gingerbread. A tidal wave of powerful, fat candied fruit flavours, flooding the palate. WINEMAKER'S NOTES - 'Rich, opulent concentrated and full-bodied. Medium gold with a honeyed, oaky, flowery, tropical fruit bouquet, magnificent and unique.' CHATEAU D'YQUEM 1iere Grand Cru Classe Sauternes 1996 £184.00 Bottle ROBERT PARKER 95 points 'Compared with the flamboyant aromatics of the 1997, Yquem's 1996 plays it closer to the vest, although there is a lot going on. Light gold with a tight but promising nose of roasted hazelnuts intermixed with creme brulee, vanilla beans, honey, orange marmalade, and peaches, this medium to full-bodied offering reveals loads of power in its restrained, measured personality. There is admirable acidity, weight, texture, and purity in this impeccably made Yquem. However, patience will be a virtue. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2060.' CHATEAU D'YQUEM 1iere Grand Cru Classe Sauternes 2001 Bottle £569.95 ROBERT PARKER 100 points 'There are 10,000 cases of this perfect sweet white Bordeaux. The 2001 Yquem reveals a hint of green in its light gold color. While somewhat reticent aromatically, with airing, it offers up honeyed tropical fruit, orange marmalade, pineapple, sweet creme brulee, and buttered nut-like scents. In the mouth, it is full-bodied with gorgeously refreshing acidity as well as massive concentration and unctuosity. Everything is uplifted and given laser-like focus by refreshing acidity. This large-scaled, youthful Yquem appears set to take its place among the most legendary vintages of the past, and will age effortlessly for 75+ years. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2100+.' CHATEAU DE MALLE Sauternes 2001 Bottle (DIS) £34.95 ROBERT PARKER 93 points 'A fabulous effort, the 2001 De Malle is closed aromatically, but it exhibits tremendous palate penetration, deep, full-bodied flavors, great acidity for balance, and marvelous notes of lavender, honey, pineapple, creme brulee, and spice. This is a sensationally textured, long, medium gold-colored, moderately sweet 2001. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring, and drink it over the following two decades.' CHATEAU FILHOT Sauternes 2000 Bottle £24.95 ROBERT PARKER 'This light green/gold-colored, medium-bodied, moderately sweet 2000 exhibits straightforward pear, pineapple, and peach flavors in its simple, one-dimensional personality. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.' CHATEAU GUIRAUD Sauternes 2005 Bottle £39.95 DECANTER MAGAZINE **** - 'While we wait to hear who the new owner will be, Xavier Planty has made another superb wine, very close to being five stars at this early stage. The wine is very perfumed with lovely concentration and imposing length, fruit and elegance.' David Peppercorn THE WINE SPECTATOR 95-100 - 'Thick and spicy, with loads of dried pineapple, lemon and honey character. Full-bodied, very sweet and long. This is layered and beautiful.' James Suckling CHATEAU LA TOUR BLANCHE Sauternes 2005 Bottle £34.95 ROBERT PARKER 93 points 92 points Wine Spectator: "Subtle aromas of honey, lemon peel, cream, vanilla and apple pie follow through to a thick palate, with lots of sweetness. There's also loads of clove and other spices. Not as exciting as from barrel, but still outstanding. Best after 2011." Page 18 of 90
Dessert Wine France - Bordeaux Sauternes/Barsac CHATEAU RAYNE-VIGNEAU Sauternes 2002 Bottle £22.95 Decanter Rating: **** (Four Stars) - This has the estate's typical apricot aromas and precison on the palate, but there is also considerable opulence and weight, with a sumptuous texture, ample fruit, and good length. Drink 2007-20. CHATEAU RAYNE-VIGNEAU Sauternes 2005 Bottle £26.95 DECANTER MAGAZINE ***** - 'It is a pleasure to record that this famous old cru has really reclaimed its position after several years of steady progress. The fruit is both intense and very scented may blossom on the nose. The wine is particularly complex with lovely vinosity and concentration; great purity of fruit and finesse - a great Sauternes. ' David Peppercorn JANCIS ROBINSON 18.5/20 - 'Hint of green in the gold. Lovely obviously botrytised appetising wine with great winning layers of pear juice and very fine acidity. Long and refreshing with the sweetness beautifully counter-weighted. Very fresh and revitalising. Drink 2015-30' THE WINE SPECTATOR 92-94 - 'Apple sauce, honey and cream aromas follow through to a full-bodied palate, with lots of sweetness. Spicy. Best from here in a long time.' James Suckling CHATEAU RIEUSSEC Sauternes 1983 Bottle CHATEAU SUDUIRAUT Sauternes 2005 Bottle £69.95 £47.95 DECANTER MAGAZINE ***** - 'The improvement here continues unabated. The nose shows a terrific perfume and unctuousness plus great breed. The wine has great concentration and opulent fruit - a glorious wine with a wonderfully honeyed finish.' David Peppercorn JANCIS ROBINSON 18+/20 - 'Greenish notes in the gold. Dense and nutty on the nose. Very positive palate impact and attack. Layers of flavour – a little note of brûlée but interesting. Very well done. Really zesty acidity as well as neat and satisfying sweetness even if this is far from the sweetest wine of the vintage. Brisk and neat. Drink 2015-28' LES CARMES DE RIEUSSEC Sauternes 2004 Bottle £19.95 The second wine of Chateau Rieussec Carmes de Rieussec is selected according to the same standards as the first wine. Its constant feature is centred on a fine aromatic structure dominated by citrus aromas. The name, Carmes de Rieussec, relates to the monks of the Carmes de Langon, who were owners of the Rieussec estate in the 18th century. A blend of Semillon 85%, Sauvignon Blanc 10% and a little Muscadelle 5% this wine has spent 18 months in barrel. This is an intense golden yellow coloured wine that is showing preserved fruit on the nose, with hints of apricot. The nose develops on the palate as the range of flavours deliver a harmonious well-rounded first impression. France - Rhone (S) Beaume de Venise DOMAINE DE DURBAN Muscat de Beaumes de Venise 2008/09 Bottle £14.95 Dme. Durban is the stand-apart property in the Rhone village of Beaumes-de-Venise where the quality and aromatics of the Muscat grape shines through vintage after vintage. The vinification process incorporates the same techniques as for table wine before pure alcohol is added to the wine bringing the strength to over 15 degrees. Apricot and white peach, with citric hints and a whiff of mandarins all combine in this wonderfully refreshing and finely balanced pudding wine. Made entirely from Muscat de Frontignan à Petits Grains, this wine is, once more, highly modish… and not before time! Drink 2010-2016. DOMAINE DES BERNARDINS Muscat de Beaumes de Venise £15.95 2009/10 Bottle The house and cellars of Mme Castaud-Maurin's lovely property are in the village of Beaumes de Venise itself, while the 17 hectares of Muscat a Petits Grains, 25% of which are in fact 'Noirs', are on the lower slopes of the Mont de Ventoux. The grapes are entirely handpicked and the wine has a delicate character of almonds and apricots, and the use of black Muscat gives it a lovely orange tint in the glass. Dessert Wine France - South of Italy Sicily DONNAFUGATA Passito di Pantelleria 'Ben Rye' 2008 Bottle £49.95 This 2006 vintage is characterised by an excellent equilibrium between structure of acids and sugars. the golden colour has brilliant amber reflections. The bouquet is full with scents of ripe apricots and Mediterranean underbush. There are notes of candied citrus fruits and honey. There is a delicate mineral touch in the finish with shadings that recall flint. The wine is complex, pleasant and elegant. Veneto MACULAN Torcolato 2007 Bottle £32.95 ROBERT PARKER 95+ 'The 2006 Torcolato offers up dried apricots, honey, white truffles, orange peel, sage and creme brulee in an exotic, virtuosic display of sheer class and elegance. Although delicious today, the wine should continue to develop exquisitely over the next 15 years. The full bottles should last even longer than this note suggests. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2026.' Italy - Piedmont Asti CONTERO Moscato d'Asti 2010/2011 Bottle £12.95 This 11 hectare estate remains one of the best producers of invigoratingly delicious Moscato d’Asti and Brachetto d’Acqui. The ripest and best Moscato grapes are used for Moscato d’Asti rather than Asti. The Val Contero vineyards are situated in a perfect amphitheatre in Strevi, the heart of one of the best zones for Moscato in Piemonte. The vineyards are superbly tended and produce fruit of stunning quality. Lightly frothing with a lovely perfume of freshly crushed grapes and sherbet. On the palate it is lightly sparkling and off-dry, with a perfect balance of soft, sweet, grapey fruit with a hint of Turkish delight and lively, fresh acidity. PRUNOTTO Moscato d'Asti 5.5%ALC Famiglia Antinori 2010 Bottle £8.95 The beautiful low alcohol bubbly ( 5.5% ) alternative for summer. Owned by Antinori and made from 100% Moscato Bianco grapes from selected vineyards in Treiso, near the town of Asti in Piedmont. After crushing, the must is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, to preserve the typical Moscato freshness and fruitiness and the ferment is stopped to keep the alcohol level down. Pale yellow in colour with fine perlage, this Moscato offers typical aromas of peach with hints of honey and hawthorne. On the palate, it is full, dense, vigorous, and elegant with a pleasantly fresh finish. South Africa Robertson RIETVALLEI Red Muscadel 2009 Bottle £7.95 The Muscadel vines were between 21 and 91 years old during the vintage year. The vineyards were established in red Karoo, as well as deep alluvial soil, next to the Klaasvoogds River. The vines grow as bush vines. A Red Muscadel vineyard, planted in 1908, to this day produces superb wine. The red-gold colour looks sparkling fresh in the glass. On the nose the Muscat flavour comes through very strong. This Muscadel fills your palate with its complexity and is characterised by its raisiny sweetness. The acidity compliments the wine and makes it even more easy to enjoy. Additional bottle maturation will further enhance the flavours of this dessert wine. A traditional fire-side companion in winter, it is most enjoyable over crushed ice, with fine chocolate dessert or noble cheeses. (S) Rasteau DOMAINE LA SOUMADE Rasteau Rouge 'Vin Doux Naturele' £19.95 N.V. Bottle The domain has been owned by the family for more than 200 years. Of course there has not been grown vines at the fields for all that time but it has probably been the case for some parcels. The owner today André Romeo has achieved to make Rasteau and Soumade well known all over the world. He is often called "The king of Rasteau", just meaning that he makes the best wines from the appellation - so far. He is also said to be the Bonneau or the Reynaud (Rayas) of Rasteau. The son Frédéric Roméro is learning the secrets from his father. France - South of Jurancon CHARLES HOURS 'Uroulat' Jurancon 2009/10* Bottle £17.95 Made from 100% Petit Manseng, harvested at 30 hl/ha in November this cuvée spends up to eleven months in barrel, although the proportion of new wood may be higher, up to 25%. It is one of the top sweet Jurançons available, and as such it is clear that Clos Uroulat is one of the stars of the South-West. Page 19 of 90
