week beginning 15/07/2007

the Times - Jane MacQuitty

complete with ripe, yet lemony fruit and a rich finish.

elegant, ripe, sweet, berry fruit-laden red; velvety palate

dry, almost bricky 2001 vintage; class act

ripe, spicy, oak-aged, apricot and peach-laden classic

plummy, leaf mould-scented bourgogne rouge

youthful, lively lemony fruit and a fine, yeasty, nutty finish

the Sunday Times - Joanna Simon

Spicy, green fruit; lovely mineral edge

Vividly grassy, fruity sauvignon. Underpriced

Intense ripe grapefruit and racy minerality

Utterly seductive: medium-full, with fresh, sweet cherry and plum fruit

the Independent - Anthony Rose

a Pyrenean answer to sauvignon blanc.

fresh, herby aromas rounded out by stylish use of oak

crisp, nettley; reminiscent of Pouilly-Fumé; shade more opulence

the Observer - Tim Atkin

bright, cherryish, easy quaffing

juicy, crunchy, raspberryish

silky, perfumed, Burgundy-like

plummy, savoury, sweetly oaked

the Telegraph - Jonathan Ray

soft, supple, velvety; Excellent value for Bordeaux

rich, concentrated, spicy; for barbecues and beef stew

gently oaked, deliciously rounded and softly honeyed

an exception to the usual dross; from old vines

the Guardian - Victoria Moore

blade-like mineral thrust beneath clean, vivid fruit

Very bold, but finely cut with a cool, limestoney feel

plenty of richness and honey in this chenin blanc.

generous, full wine with a lot going on for the price
