2007 Sancerre, Domaine Vacheron (Half Bottle)
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; a fine match for river fish.

Sancerre Blanc 2010/2011, Domaine Vacheron
Textbook Sancerre from probably the very best producer in the region. Fabulously aromatic nose, concentrated gooseberry fruit flavours, all carefully balanced by a rich smokiness. Sancerre at its most elegant.

2010 Bio, Domaine Piccinini, Vin de Pays d'Oc
Just to the northeast of the spectacular town of Minervois is the 30 hectare domaine of Jean-Christophe Piccinini. The Piccininis are an ancient family of Minervois vignerons going back many generations but Jean-Christophe only set up this domaine in the early 90's. He makes a full range of local wines but this organic red, made from 20-year-old Syrah vines grown on the testing stony clay soils, caught our eye because it combines abundant fruit matched to a solid backbone.

2004 Domaine Richeaume, Cuvée Tradition
Impeccably organic, an impressive alliance of lush, cassis-rich Cabernet and gamey, generous Syrah. Domaine Richeaume lies at the foot of Provence's Sainte-Victoire mountain. The winery itself was built on the vestiges of a Roman Villa by organic vigneron Henning Hoesch. All viticulture at the estate is biodynamic, to the extent that a flock of sheep has been installed to provide fertiliser. Henning produces powerful wines, deserving, as he says, "5 to 6 years of patience".
