Cellar Offering 189<br />
5082 Bourgogne Aligoté, AOC 2008 8 9 Drink while the fruit is ripe and fresh. There is nothing worse<br />
than poor fruit.<br />
5083 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes-de-Beaune 2008 8 8 Lovely now. It has several years life to come.<br />
Blanc, La Justice, AOC<br />
5084 Saint Romain, La Combe Bazin, AOC 2008 6 7 Fine mineral structure. A very good middle of the road white.<br />
Fine Chardonnay characters.<br />
5085 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes-de-Beaune, 2008 6 7 Light and a touch disappointing at the moment. Give it a<br />
AOC year or two in bottle to emerge.<br />
5086 Auxey-Duresses, AOC 2008 6 7 Well structured. Fine fruit. Will be ready by next year.<br />
5087 Beaune, Les Bons Feuvres, AOC 2008 6 6 Lovely, fine Pinot Noir nose that will develop both fine flavour<br />
and aroma profiles over the next year.<br />
5088 Pommard, Les Tavannes, AOC 2008 6 6 Very fine wine. Pinot is so small compared to the heavy weight<br />
reds. Don’t expect more of it than the grape can give.<br />
5089 La Source de Vignelaure Rosé, 2008 8 9 Certainly one of the finest Rosés produced anywhere, and<br />
AOC Côteaux d’Aix en Provence by anyone, in France.<br />
5090 Le Page de Vignelaure Rosé, 2008 8 8 The senior borther of Lot 5089, rather fuller bodied.<br />
Vin de Pays de Méditerranée A food wine.<br />
5091 La Source de Vignelaure, 2007 7 7 Wonderful red wine. Needs time for the concentration to<br />
AOC Côteaux d’Aix en Provence come together.<br />
5092 Château Vignelaure, 2005 6 7 Archetypally full-bodied, a wonderful red from a great property.<br />
AOC Côteaux d’Aix en Provence<br />
5093 Château Vignelaure, AOC Côteaux 2000 8 9 One of the fabulous wines made by David O’Brian. Now mature,<br />
d’Aix en Provence, Magnums it has only gained, rather than dissipated, any of its class.<br />
5094 Sauvignon/Chardonnay, 2007 8 9 A wine of balance, harmony and freshly vigourous acidity.<br />
Caracter de l’Ansée,<br />
Vin de Pays de la Loire<br />
5095 Sauvignon Blanc, AOC Touraine, 2008 8 8 Surely the best Sauvignon Blanc from the Middle Loire<br />
Domaine Gibault vineyards.<br />
5096 Rosé, Frisson d’Été”, 2008 9 9 Light as a feather and dusted with fruit flavours, it is intended<br />
AOC Touraine Rosé, Domaine Gibault to be opened early. Enjoy this year.<br />
5097 Gamay, Friandise, AOC Touraine, 2008 8 9 Fresh. Sappy. Acidic. A delight when served fresh/cool.<br />
Domaine Gibault<br />
5098 Cabernet/Côt, Emotion, AOC Touraine, 2008 7 8 Green and stalky, give it another year in bottle.<br />
Domaine Gibault<br />
5099 Crémant de Loire, AOC Crémant de Loire, N.V. 9 9 Perfect party wine. Not just fizz, but fine wine with a fizz.<br />
Flore and Emmanuel Rialland,<br />
Domaine du Pont de Livier<br />
5100 Côteaux du Layon, AOC Côteaux du Layon, 2008 7 7 Take time, this will live for many years.<br />
Flore and Emmanuel Rialland,<br />
Domaine du Pont de Livier<br />
5101 Rosé d’Anjou, AOC Rosé d’Anjou, 2008 8 9<br />
Flore and Emmanuel Rialland,<br />
Domaine du Pont de Livier<br />
5102 Pouilly Fumé, AOC Pouilly Fumé, 2008 7 7 One of the best wines of the whole appellation. Good,<br />
Jean-Paul Mollet, Domaine Mollet-Maudry ripe, “sweet” fruit.<br />
5103 Sancerre Blanc, AOC Sancerre, 2008 7 8 A wine that often disappoints, but not this one from<br />
Florian Mollet, Domaine Mollet-Maudry Jean-Paul Mollet.<br />
5104 Sancerre Rouge, AOC Sancerre, 2007 7 7 Looking for elegance? Look no further. This is marvellously<br />
