Description
The Sancerre Croq Caillotte is a classic example of how it pays dividends to seek out the smaller growers, as this is a top notch, characterful Sancerre showing citrus and apple fruit, perfectly poised minerality and mouth-watering acidity. Classy and offers terrific value for money.
This tiny 6.5 hectare domaine in the Loire was started by Emile Balland in 1999. The Ballands have been making wines in the Loire since 1650 and his father was instrumental in achieving recognition for the young AOC Coteaux du Giennois in the 1980s.
Emile has just one hectare of Sancerre and this cuvée comes from the steep, south facing slopes of the Amigny area of Sancerre. His philosophy is to intefere as little as possible in the vineyard and let the vines express their true terroir. Since 2019 he has been using the services of ‘Viking’, a horse to plough parts of his vineyards.

2023 Kumeu Village Pinot Gris, Kumeu
Pinot Gris/Pinot Grigio
The Kumeu Village Pinot Gris is an utterly delicious example of the grape. Lively stone fruit and exotic notes on the nose and palate with a beautiful texture that adds weight without detracting from the purity and freshness of fruit. This is lovely to drink on it's own but also a stellar match to a number of dishes, including spicy foods.

NV Cremant Du Jura ‘Cuvee Bethanie’, Fruitiere Vinicole Arbois
Chardonnay
One of our best selling sparkling wines, this stunning Cremant is given added complexity by the addition of 2cl of Vin Jaune at dosage. The result adds a rich, nutty and savoury edge to what is otherwise traditional method 100% Chardonnay, which tasted blind could pass for an aged Champagne. Not everyone's cup of tea but certainly popular and curious enough to keep customers coming back for more!

2018 Extra Brut, D’Urberville Vineyard, Dorset
