A small family enterprise, with equally diminutive cellars. The quality of their wines, however, is up there with the best, and their very junior Pinot brings all the juicy, soft red-fruits of the Cote de Nuits at an affordable price. Don't stand on ceremony with grand appellations - this is every bit as good as a lesser Gevrey, at a fract-ion of the price
Renaud Boyer studied to be an engineer but found himself buying a small property in Saint Romain and making organic wines. This change of direction is fortunate for us as the quality of his wines compares favourably with more famous names.

Two Fine Wines that are perfect with food. Both have a savoury edge that make them pair beautifully with chicken dishes (the Blanc) and beef bourguignon or game dishes (rouge). Organically produced from a small, family-owned, domaine.
These Fine Wines are perfect with food. They've both got a savoury edge which makes the Blanc ideal served alongside free-range roast chicken, and the spicy notes on the Pinot Noir makes it perfect with herby beef bourguignon.

Oak-free and joyously juicy, a soft, cherry-scented southern Rhône blend of Grenache and Syrah. The bureaucrats previously struggled with the 'Costières de Nîmes' (between Provence and Montpellier) but finally attached it to the Rhône because the area is cut in half by an arm of the river's estuary. With their handful of successful properties, Jacqueline and Fanny Boyer have overcome more info >>
We have two wines here from the sandled Guy Chaumont, who's been making lovely organic wines from his home town in Rosey for years. A St Veran from young, award-winning Denis Jeandeau and a St Romain pair (red and white) from Renaud Boyer. Domaine Parent supply us with a food-friendly Monthelie, delightful with roast duck.

Sancerre makes a perfect gift for a white wine lover, offering a happy marriage of good value with a well-regarded 'name'. A family run domaine who predominantly grow Sauvignon Blanc in and around the area of Chaudoux-Verdigny in Sancerre. The use of old vines points to a better quality of wine as the vine shows reduced vigour and therefore smaller more concentrated yields.

Domaine Vacheron has some of the best vineyards in Sancerre, comprising equal measures of limestone and flint - the first lending wines 'tang', the latter minerality. In the dream Loire vintage of 2005 (a year of ripe yet perfectly-balanced wines), organically-oriented cousins Jean-Dominique and Jean-Laurent Vacheron kept yields one-fifth lower than typical local harvests, resulting in Sauvignon of real concentration. Incisively citrusy; hints of herbs.

Demi-sec in style, so expect rich, but not overly sweet fruit flavours. Delicious, as always, from a classic producer.
Gaston Huet was a hero of French viticulture. He relentlessly championed the cause of top quality wine and his own beloved Vouvray in particular. He established his domaine as the standard for all others. As mayor of the village of Vouvray for many years he presided over the rise of the Vouvray appelation and exerted influence to promote the wines at every occasion. One notable battle was when he more info >>
Patriach, Charles Rousseau effectively handed over the reins to his daughter Corinne in the early 2000s, but she preferred to follow her heart and take on an estate in the South, thus leaving her brother, Eric, to run the estate - something which he had been doing anyway, before being thrust into the limelight. His preference is for making classic Burgundy, rather than the fashionable, heavily worked, more info >>
