Fresh mousse with a flavour-packed palate. It has lots of creamy, biscuity, honeyed fruit leading the way. Made by a small, less well-known champagne house in Avirey-Lingey, a tiny village in the Aube, a couple of hours drive south of the champagne heartland of Épernay and Reims.

Louis Roederer Champagne Brut Premier NV £46
Brut Premier is the embodiment of the Louis Roederer style, combining all the fruitiness and freshness of youth with the vinosity of a fully mature wine. It has a golden colour with fine bubbles and a nose of fresh fruit and hawthorn. A very pleasurable champagne, deliciously smooth and mature.

Clean and fresh with classic Sauvignon gooseberries and an attractive balance between fruit and zesty acidity.

2006 Domaine Felines Jourdan Picpoul de Pinet, France £21
A beautiful wine, superb with seafood. “One of the Languedoc’s most overlooked varieties, Picpoul deserves a greater following. This great example is honeyed & nutty with impressive weight”, Tim Atkin, Observer Food Monthly.

Fresh and peachy with a touch of spice and good weight, this unique and charming wine is one of our favourites as its versatility lends itself perfectly to many different dishes.

A beautiful example of Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc at its best. Clean, fresh and crisp with notes of pink grapefruit and passionfruit with a zingy herbaceousness. Good weight without being heavy, it has a long, bright finish.

2005 Shaw and Smith Unoaked Chardonnay, Australia £26
Made exclusively from grapes grown in the Adelaide Hills, one of Australia’s coolest and most exciting regions. True to the Chablis style of reliance on fruit quality, purity and balance this would give any premier cru a run for its money.

2004 Fourchaume Chablis Premier Cru, France £33
A top-quality Chablis from a renowned grower. The vines for the Fourchaume grown on a more limestone soil and the grapes from the vineyard are fermented entirely in stainless steel to preserve the purity of the fruit. The resulting wine is rich yet steely.

2005 Baron di Pauli Enosi, Italy £34
Enosi is an impressive blend of Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gewürztraminer. The careful balance between them offers a lively, exotic nose, evocative of peach, elderberry and citrus, and supported by a finesse that originates in the interplay between the warm days and cool nights that temper the alpine vineyards in the Alto Adige.

2004 Potel Chassagne Montrachet, France £36
Deep, creamy white Burgundy with a hint of vanilla and oak spice adding to the lemon, melon and peach fruit flavours. Rounded and soft but not lacking for refreshing acidity or minerality, it has a long fruit-led finish.

2006 Vignes De L’Eglise Grenache-Merlot, France £15/£4
Made by New Zealander Alana McGettigan using some of the best fruit from the plains and hills of Rivesaltes in the Languedoc. Powerful and concentrated with great balance between opulent fruit and full tannins.

2005 Monastrell Bodega Castano, Spain £17/£5
The Castano family have 410 hectares of vineyards in Yecla, in south eastern Spain. They symbolise the best of what southern Spain has to offer – rich warm climate wines made from grapes grown at altitude and transformed into robustly modern wines. The Monastrell has good colour, a peppery nose and a dark liquorice fruit on the palate.

2004 Vina Chocalan Merlot, Chile £18/£5
Vina Chocalan’s estate is nestled between the Andes and the Coastal Mountain range. A delicious, easy-drinking wine with aromas of juicy dark berry fruit and a distinctive coffee finish.

2004 Chateau Mahon-Laville Bordeaux, France £22
A classy blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. Wine maker Jean-Christophe Barbe picks the Cabernet as late as possible which is evident in the plumy nose and ripe subtle fruit on the palate.

2004 Corte Giara ‘Ripasso’ Valpolicella, Italy £23
Made by Allegrini using the traditional Veronese method of ‘ripasso’, the young wine is re-fermented together with grapes that have been dried for two months giving the wine more body and depth. The resulting Valpolicella is an intense ruby red colour showing intense, spicy red fruits with elements of vanilla and walnut.

2004 Plantagenet Omrah Shiraz, Australia £24
The cool climate of the Mount Barker district ensures the grapes that make this wine ripen slowly to produce concentrated perfumes of redcurrant, raspberry, blueberries and spicy cinnamon. The juicy fruit characters are well balanced by an attractive structure, ripe tannins and coffee oak notes.

2005 Bodega Mustiguillo Mestizaje, Spain £26
Wine maker Antonio Sarrion’s goal to make Mustiguillo one of Spain’s top estates is well on its way to being realised. He is a champion of the local Bobal grape, that goes into 50% of this wine, and the labour intensive methods he chooses to produce it. Aromas of ripe black fruit merge into a succulent, fleshy palate and velvety smooth tannins.

2005 Stonier Pinot Noir, Australia £28
Many New World Pinots are described as Burgundian but we feel this outstanding wine from the Mornington Peninsula is truly deserving of the title. Ripe, rich yet incredibly balanced dark cherry and berry flavours combine with soft, silky tannins producing a wine of great elegance.

2004 Villa Di Capezzana Carmignano, Italy £31
Made on the family run Capezzana estate in Tuscany, 24km north-west of Florence, from a blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep ruby red in colour, full-bodied with spicy autumnal fruits and notes of cassis and blackberry.

2003 Dominio de Valdepusa Syrah, Spain £37
Complex aromas of jammy blackberries, violets, cassis and freshly ground white pepper on the nose precede a rich, lush palate with sweet tannins, bitter chocolate, spice and dark berry fruit. A ripe and powerful expression of one of the world's great grapes from one of the worlds greatest wine producers.

2004 Candialle Ciclope, Italy £39
It may be named after an unfortunate accident that befell the family dog, but, thankfully, there's nothing unfortunate about this Super Tuscan from Candialle. Beautifully rounded, lively, and complex with colourful, candied fruit notes on a bed of chocolate and damsons.

2004 Jean-Claude Boisset Gevrey Chambertin, France £45
Matthew Jukes describes this award winning wine as “a broad shouldered Gevrey, dark, structured rich and strong”. This is a must try wine for any Pinot Noir fan but you will have to get in quick as only 8 barrels of this stunning Burgundy were made in 2004.
