2008 Domaine des Forge, Coteaux du Layon

The Coteaux du Layon: small, steeply-sloped valleys bordered by the Loire, and slightly less majestic River Layon. Chenin Blanc grapes are used here to produce styles from subtly off-dry to overtly sweet ('noble rot' shrivels grapes to raisiny succulence). Domaine des Forges is in Chaume, famed for luscious 'moelleux' styles. This delicious wine, a fine balance of nectar-like sweetness and fresh, peachy acidity, is recommended drinking with foie gras.

Beaujolais-Villages 2009/2010, Domaine des Nugues

Buy any 2 Beaujolais wines save 20%

Gamay is always hand harvested, as fermentation of uncrushed grapes begins within the grapes in the absence of oxygen. Domaine des Nuges, founded in 1976, conducts this fermentation in open top vats, resulting in semi carbonic maceration as oxygen slowly gets introduced. Very bright and vibrantly coloured. Aromas of red berries, red fruit and spice leap from the glass. The intense colour is not matched more info >> by the tannins, which are light and soft, with an almost sweet finish.

Volnay 1er Cru 'Clos des Chênes' 2006, Domaine Bouchard Père et Fils

Ripe blackberry tinged with ginger and mace gets a 2006 Volnay Clos des Chenes off to a satisfying start, but there is not the refinement of tannin to accompany the fruit and spice here that accrues to the best wines in this year's Bouchard collection. I would relish the wine's virtues over the next 3-4 years and serve in contexts where a bit of rusticity presents no problem. 88 points. David Schildknecht, The Wine Advocate.

2008 Vouvray Sec 'Silex', Domaine des Aubuisières

Bernard Fouquet is one of the top growers in Vouvray (home to opulent Chenin Blanc) and organically-inclined. Vineyard inputs are applied with pinpoint accuracy, and grasses are grown between vine rows to encourage natural predators. From 'Le Marigny', one of Bernard's vine-clad lawns, planted on limestone, this is a relatively dry, barrel-fermented style, generous, yet crisp, with flavours of ripe apples and herbs. One for poached river fish.
