2008 LOUIS ALEXANDRE BLANC, VIN DE PAYS DES COTES DE GASCOGNE
Crisp, fresh & dry - a fruity blend of Colombard and Ugni. Certainly performs at a highter level than most "house wines".
£13.25 | Glass 175ml £3.50 | 250ml £4.60 | 12%

2008 CHARDONNAY VIN DE PAYS D'OC VIGNOBLE DU SUD
Fresh Southern-French Chardonnay with subtle hints of butter, laced with clean acidity.
£15.75 | Glass 175ml £4.10 | 250ml £5.50 | 12%

2008 SAUVIGNON BLANC VIN DE PAYS D'OC VIGNOBLE DU SUD
Clean, fresh and racy a fine example of 'simple' Sauvignon. Not deeply complex, but just a good honest lip-smacking little number!
£16.75 | Glass 175ml £4.40 | 250ml £5.90 | 12%

2008 MUSCADET SUR LIE, DOMAINE DU VERGER (Luneau-Papin)
There's some plain Muscadet...and then there's the real stuff of elegance. Pierre Luneau-Papin is one of the region's most respected producers. The Domaine du Verger is flowery, with a bready/yeasty aroma & buttery palate.
£18.25 | Glass 175ml £4.80 | 250ml £6.50 | 12%

2005 BOURGOGNE ALIGOTE (Jaffelin)
The white Burgundy which isn't Chardonnay! Lovely, lively, lemon and lime zing - a perfect aperitif or a partner for anything remotely citric.
£19.50 | 12%

2008 MARSANNE / VIOGNIER VIN DE PAYS D'OC "GRANGE DES ROUQUETTE" (Vignobles Boudinaud) Wonderful balanced blend of two classic varietals, from wizard winemaker Thierry Boudinaud (whose wines go to the Elysee Palace, no less!!!).
£20.50 | 13%

2007 SAINT VERAN (Jaffelin)                                                                        Close to Pouilly Fuisse geographically, but miles below it in price! Fresh and appealing unoaked Chardonnay! a pure delight.
£23.75 | 13.5%

2008 CHABLIS (Jean-Marc Brocard)
Another Chardonnay - naturally enough, as it's Burgundian and another without oak. Doesn't need it! Steely, mineral texture. Clean as a whistle.
£25.75 | Glass 175ml £6.70 | 250ml £9.00 | 12.5%

2008 SANCERRE 'LA VIGNE BLANCE' (Domaine Henri Bourgeois)
Sheer class in a glass. Generous, with typical gooseberry-fruity aroma and flavour, and a lively lingering finish.
£27.75 | Glass 175ml £7.00 | 250ml £9.70 | 12.5%

2007 CHABLIS 1er CRU 'LES LYS' (Domaine Daniel Dampt)
Daniel Dampt vinifies only the product of his own vineyards and his 'Les Lys' possesses typical gunflint dryness, with an underlying richness which comes from oak maturation. "Chablis" has become something of an abused term (see supermarket own labels!) but this is the real deal.
£34.50 | 13%

2006 MEURSAULT (Jaffelin)
Elegantly stylish butterscotch, beautifully integrated oak character. A great example from a great village.
£45.50 | 13%

2007 PULIGNY MONTRACHET  Vieielles Vignes (Vincent Girardin)
Puligny (the village) attaches the name of Montrachet (it's most famous vineyard) and from here comes some of the finest Chardonnay in the world. Girardin's wine has a classic balance of buttery richness & generous, slightly tropical, fruitiness.
£49.50 | 13.5%
