The Wine List

Specially Imported Wines from France

White

Chateau Haut-Pasquet 2003
Full bodied dry white wine with a lively aroma of Sauvignon from this excellent & consistant vineyard £11.50

Chateau Fondarzac (Entre-Deux-Mers) 2003
Perfect summer wine; light, elegant, almost perfumed & only 30% Sauvignon, with 50% Semillon & 20% Muscadelle. Not surprising that it won the Gold Medal at Paris £12.95

Chateau LeHoul Graves 2003
LeHoul wins loads of prizes, for both red & white & you can see why with wines like this. One of the best modern Graves – dense, fruity wine of distinction. Great with food £17.50

Chablis Vieilles Vignes 2002
This wine made by Alain Gautheron goes a long way towards explaining why Chablis has such a world wide reputation, when much Chablis on the market has virtually no taste, Gautheron Chablis has a fine bouquet with the flinty freshness for which Chablis is famous £21.50

Red

Chateau Haut-Gaudin Cuvee Prestige 2000
Bernard Dubourg’s No 1 wine. The grape composition is 65% Merlot & 35% Cabernet Sauvignon. A powerful, fruity & complex red wine, the kind that wins competitions. It was, in fact, the best Premieres Cotes 2000 of the year, voted by a panel of wine experts, winning the Trophee Rouge £18.95

Chateau Lacaze-Bellevue 1998
This is one of our selection of ‘Plain’ Saint-Emilion. Nevertheless, as befits our selection, this wine is not so much plain as full-bodied, round & aromatic, emphasising finesse rather than power, at a reasonable price £24.50

Rose

Chateau la Gravette des Lucques Rose 2003
The grapes consist of 50% Merlot with 50% Cabernet Sauvignon with the aroma of refreshing white with the fruit of delicate red. Quite unlike most roses £13.95

To finish your meal, may we tempt you with a 1980 Armagnac from the Domaine de Saint-Aubin. This Armagnac comes from a collection, unique of its type, from a small area 15km by 25km in the heart of the Bas Armagnac & represents the cream of the production £4.50 per glass
