Featured Wines
Sparkling White:
Blanquette de Limoux J.Laurens, On special at £12.49 (usually £13.99)
A French sparkling wine, Champagne-alternative, made using the same méthode traditionelle which is said to have been discovered in Limoux. This is a stone’s throw away from the medieval city of Carcassonne in South West France. Known as “blanquette” for the fine white coating which forms on the leaves of the Mauzac vine, the traditional grape variety of the Limoux vineyards. Characteristic flavours are green apple and apricot with finesse and freshness. J. Laurens makes a perfect aperitif, or with a starter such as marinated salmon or if you are feeling really adventerous try it with Chicken Tacos.
A Beautiful French Red:
Château Baron Bellevue, Côtes de Bourg, Bordeaux £9.99 (usually £10.99)
Bordeux is one of the oldest wine producing regions in France. first planted by the Romans due to the strategic position of the port of Bourg. Mainly Merlot, this wine is typically ripe with wild bramble flavors, tasty tannins, and a lovely gutsy character. Vines are cultivated with a respect for the environment, without the use of insecticides. While claret is traditionally served with roast lamb, it is also a great cheese-wine. We recommend a farmhouse cheddar, or goats cheese. If you need any help pairing your wine, just have a quick chat with Sheena on the Cheese Counter.
