Beaujolais-Villages 2009
A vivid and juicy wine brimming with the squished-raspberry freshness that so marks out the gamay grape (the sole constituent of all red Beaujolais) but with long, contemplative fruit into the bargain.

Beaujolais Fleurie 2009
This particular vintage has
turned out to be something
a little special in Beaujolais and this wine from the crudesignated Fleurie area is well-balanced and elegant. It has an intense violet colour, a fresh strawberry nose and a long, soft finish.

Chablis Premier Cru Montée de Tonnerre
Shimmering, elegant, green-gold; rich, creamy aromas, a hint of oak; sleek, plush mouthfeel – not everyone’s idea of craggy. Mineral Montée de Tonnerre but a hedonistic wine that will give much pleasure. A Beaunois take on Chablis.

Chanson Fleurie 2007
‘Beaujolais such as this flowery fleurie, a superior village wine from the famous burgundy house of Chanson, whose magnificent 16th-century fortress cellars in Beaune definitely merit a detour, is that bit richer and plumier than its competitors. As such, this ripe, juicy, leafy and now mature 2007,a good beaujolais vintage, over delivers on crunchy fruit and flavour, making it a good simple, summer food red, equally happy with a plate of charcuterie
as it is with grilled red meats.’

Chanson Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2007
“The lighter red Burgundies, such as this one, are great summer wines, perfect for drinking alongside white meats and more full flavoured fish, such as salmon and tuna. Serve cool rather than chilled, to emphasise the tangy red currant and cherry fruits.”
