Brut Souverain, Champagne Henriot
Henriot's most important label and the standard-bearer of the house style. The current bottling comprises over 50% Chardonnay, mostly from the 2002 and 2003 vintages. It is wonderfully clean tasting with a firm attack on the palate. Flavours are crisp and elegant, ripe but not exotic, and are supported by a pleasing fresh acidity. A champagne full of elegance, lightness and finesse; the perfect aperitif.

Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru, Champagne Le Mesnil
Champagne Le Mesnil was founded in 1938 and is based in the famous Grand Cru commune of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger on the Côtes des Blancs, where they produce excellent Champagnes from the perfectly situated vineyards. Blanc de Blancs Champagne is made exclusively from Chardonnay, which gives the wine not only a sense of lightness and delicacy, but also great elegance and finesse.
Elegant and refined, with very fine bubbles and a crisp, refreshing acidity. The nose is perfumed, with notes of ripe apple and toasted brioche, which are carried through onto the palate. This is long on the finish, with a soft yeasty character. Ideal for any celebration or as an apéritif.

2004 Château Paloumey, Cru Bourgeois Haut-Médoc
Château Paloumey has been under the ownership of Martine Cazeneuve since 1990. It has come to the attention of Bordeaux enthusiasts relatively recently, producing some excellent wines from its well-situated vineyards, adjacent to those of the highly respected châteaux of La Lagune and Cantemerle. This is a deep and rich claret, with dark plum and cassis fruit on both the nose and palate. Full bodied, but a touch of mineral acidity adds a sense of refinement. Delicious with red meats and hearty winter-fare.

2004 Lay & Wheeler Rioja, bottled by CVNE, Rioja
A rioja crianza from the great 2004 vintage now in its prime. Has a beguiling nose revealing a core of red fruits and a whiff of toast. The palate is silky textured with a fine acidity and surprising length, finishing with a rewarding savoury note so typical of Rioja. A firm favourite of the Lay & Wheeler team.

2006 Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Petit Mont, Clos Mont Olivet
Described in renowned wine critic Robert Parker's "The World's Greatest Wine Estates" as "one of the very best [producers of] Châteauneuf-du-Pape", Clos du Mont Olivet make traditional Châteauneuf. While the Sabon family have been making wine at Clos du Mont Olivet for over four generations, Le Petit Mont is a relative newcomer and made from fruit from the domaine's younger vines.
This is classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with rich red-berry fruit characters overlaid with hints of aniseed, white pepper and provençal herbs. Smooth and mouthfilling, but with some structure, this would be ideal with cold-cuts and roasted meats.
