One of Loosen and the Mosel’s greatest vineyard sites on rich blue slate soil. (The Sundial of Wehlen) is a precipitously steep and rocky vineyard that yields wines with a lively mineral character and a delicate, zingy acidity that perfectly complements the expression of white peach and lemon fruits on the palate. The 24 months ageing gives the wine amazing complexity and length.

The Ürziger Würzgarten vineyard forms a massive amphitheatre of red, volcanic sandstone and red slate that is unlike any other site in the Mosel region. It’s compact, energetic and concentrated with a core of tantalising exotic fruits and spicy aromas.

Grapes for Anseillan are from a specific lieu-dit in the Lafite estate, and it is produced in the capable hands of the Lafite teams, in the Lafite cellars. This 2020 is the third official release, but the team have long singled out this part of the vineyard and bottled it as a unique wine for family consumption. It's full of blackberry, damson and plum fruit, with graphite, roasted coffee and tobacco providing earthy complexity. It shows the balance and purity of the vintage, with an appetising mineral lift on the finish.

The 2023 Lune d’Argent from the Bernard family of Domaine de Chevalier is an aromatic and full-flavoured reflection of some of Bordeaux’s finest terroirs. Sourced from 35 year old vines that neighbour the vineyards of Châteaux d’Yquem and Guiraud, this is always a lot of wine for your money. Gravel soils in Sauternes and Bommes provide power and freshness, while alluvial soils in Barsac lend the wine a unique minerality. Textured, zingy, and utterly delicious, the 2023 Lune d’Argent is an absolute bargain.

Pierre Lurton and the team at Château Marjosse place aromatic purity and the expression of fruit at the heart of their winemaking. The team eschews the use of new oak, instead preferring used 400 litre barrels that allow the aromatic, floral, cherry-fruited nature of the wine to take centre stage. In 2023, the quality of the Cabernets was excellent and forms a higher part of the blend (40%) than in previous vintages. This is always friendly, delicious, and one of Bordeaux’s great values.

2012 needs little introduction as one of the standout recent vintages in Champagne. Originating from the best parcels of the Côte des Blancs, the Blanc de Blancs 2012 vintage is endowed with purity and minerality. This is a harmonious representation of the best parcels of grand crus of Côte des Blancs: Cramant, Chouilly for the finesse, Avize for the force of character and Mesnil-sur-Oger for the structure and longevity. This delicious wine from Billecart Salmon captures the amazing freshness and vibrancy of the vintage, with a taught, chalky spine and precise and elongated finish. This blanc de blancs vintage cuvée carries the name of Louis Salmon, the house's first cellar master.
