2016 Brut Vintage, Louis Roederer Dry | White | Sparkling | 12.5%

A blend of 68% Pinot Noir and 32% Chardonnay with around a third of the base wine vinified in oak barrel before the second fermentation. The nose is so inviting with aromas of red berries, orange peel, butter shortbread, and subtle notes of ginger. While there is juiciness and charm there is a clear line of freshness and acidity leading through the palate. There is substance here yet real poise with a crystalline and saline note lingering on the finish. A real success for the vintage and one that will only improve in the coming years.

Ready: 2025 - 2036
2023 Cornas, Les Vieilles Vignes, Alain Voge Dry | Red | Still | 13%

One of the flagship wines of the estate the Vieilles Vignes comes from vines of an average age of 60-70 years. It uses around 20% whole bunch fruit and around 10% new oak for ageing. It is a spicy and rather brooding wine with notes of warm rocks and deep subsuming bramble fruit. Yet there is freshness and vibrancy here that make the wine feel quite elegant and sculpted. Very fine and very characterful.

2023 Saint-Péray, Ongrie, Alain Voge Dry | White | Still | 13.5%
