2023 Gamay, Domaine Moulin Camus, IGP Loire

Gamay

This 100% Gamay from Domaine Moulin Camus comes from grapes grown on a slope of pure mica schist which gives the wine juicy, rounded red fruits a bit of tautness and minerality.  A warmer than normal, sulphur free maceration for three days helps bring out some warmth and roundness to the fruit, making it slightly beaujolais'esque but without the bubble gum/commercial edge that one would normally find in this price range.

£13.50

Spatburgunder Trocken, Hanewald-Schwerdt, Magnum

Pinot Noir

The Spatburgunder Trocken, Hanewald-Schwerdt has bright strawberry and cherry notes which lead the way with some delicious savoury character and good minerality. Intense and medium bodied this is designed to be drunk easily and could be served with pigeon or duck.

£29.99

2024 Duc De Belmonde Cabernet/Syrah, Pays D’oc

Syrah/Shiraz

The Duc de Belmond Cabernet/Syrah has a lovely deep colour in the glass. The nose shows spice, blackberry and cassis with a whiff of oak, and leads to a palate that is round, smooth and spicy.

£11.95

2023 Mercurey Rouge 1er Cru, Domaine Meunier

Pinot Noir

The grapes for this wine are hand harvested from 2 parcels in the heart of Mercurey where the soil is clay and limestone. They spend 10-15 days fermenting in the tank before being put into French oak barrels, 30% of which are new.  The wine then spends 12 months in barrel before being blended and bottled.
