Description
Vincent Roussely is the fourth generation of the family to make wines at this beautiful 8 hectare vineyard site in the heart of Chenonceaux on the Cher River. Since 2007 he has farmed his vineyards by hand, machine and horse and as a result has seen the health of his vineyards and grapes have improved immeasurably, which naturally has a direct influence on the wines he produces. Planted mainly to Sauvignon Blanc, the soil is a mixture of clay and limestone with pockets of Silex where his oldest vineyards are situated, many of which are over 80 years old in the case of the cuvee Chenonceaux.
100% Sauvignon Blanc, this cuvee is Vincent’s pride and joy, an 85 year old vineyard of 8500 vines per hectare located in the shadow of the chateau in Chenonceaux. Worked by horse to be as light footed as possible given the tuffeau rich clay soil. The fruit is pressed in a pneaumatic press prior to fermentation and raising in specialy made stailness steel spheres, where it is kept on the gross less for 12 months. Released 18 months after harvest, with 6 months in bottle. A very pretty wine and a great alternative to entry level Sancerre/Pouilly Fume.

NV Prosecco Brut DOC, Terre dei Buth
Glera
The wonderfully fresh and elegant Prosecco Brut Spumante from Terre dei Buth has joined the fabulous Frizzante styles on our shelves. This organic and vegan fizz is at once immensely appealing, with an enticing, softly textured palate of green apple, sherbert and gentle floral aromatics. The finish is fresh, superbly clean and a million miles away from the nasty mass produced wines which plague the supermarket shelves.

NV Brut, Champagne Germar Breton, Aube
Champagne Blend
This delightful, and rather smart looking, Champagne comes from the relatively young Champagne House of Germar Breton that was established in 2005. Based in the southerly Aube region, they make approachable, terrific value wines from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. This wonderful introduction to their range shows expressive brioche, green apple and quince fruit and has wonderfully balanced acidity. Germar Breton are certainly a Champagne House to keep an eye on.

2025 Pinot Noir Rose ‘Pink Colomb Bay’, Dom. La Colombette
Pinot Noir
The Pink Colomb Bay is consistently one of our best selling roses, this more'ish wine is wonderfully textured, with soft red fruits, a creamy texture in the mid-palate and then finishing dry. The wonderful wines of the pioneering Domaine Colombette are characterised by the ability to be full flavoured and expressive whilst being refreshingly light in alcohol.

2018 Extra Brut, D’Urberville Vineyard, Dorset
Champagne Blend
Perfectly sited on protected, south-facing, chalk soils, the D'Urberville vineyard produces perfectly ripe grapes for exuberant, fruit led English sparkling wines. We are proud to represent them and love the fact that it is less than a mile from the shop as the crow flies. Zesty, fresh and very easy drinking this is a great aperitif style of English fizz.
