Chablis Grand Cru ‘Vaudesir’, Gerard Tremblay
£55.00
Gérard Tremblay and his wife, Hélène, oversee a domain that they inherited in a line of five generations, but which they
have mostly built themselves. With 80 acres of vines under production, most of them in the best Premier Cru and Grand
Cru appellations, their list of Chablis is among the most prestigious in the region.
Tremblay is known locally as an accomplished wine maker. He is justly famous for his ability to draw out the typicity of
distinct appellations, underlining the terroir of his vines vintage after vintage.
Set between Preuses and Grenouilles, the Vaudésir climat is divided into two parts by the track called “le chemin des Vaudésirs”.
Very steep in places, its soil type seems rather lighter than most, and contains less lime. This increasing “earthiness”
tends to mark the wines, which can be drunk young if one is looking for crispness. The full structure of the wines will take
several years to develop however, as with all the Grands Crus. Their extreme delicacy has given Vaudésir the reputation
of being the most feminine of all the climats.
An elegant wine for the finest occasions.

Soave Classico, Monte Tondo
Monte Tondo is a family estate located in the beautiful hillside vineyards of Soave. Here the soils range from volcanic to chalky, which alongside the varying microclimates, gives the wines distinct flavour characteristics and individualistic style.
Alongside his family, winemaker Gino Magnabosco is part of the third generation to run the estate. They believe that hard work, drive, and determination are key to obtaining the best results from their land. Maintaining, nourishing, and cherishing the land of their ancestors is of utmost importance. And although not certified, they farm using organic practices and an environmentally friendly approach to both viticulture and vinification. No chemicals are used in their production and they recycle everything excess coming from the vineyard (stems as fertilizers, skins for grappa, pruned branches for heating and fertilizer).
Small proportions of other varieties are allowed in the production of Soave, but Monte Tondo focus their concentration purely on Garganega. Garganega is a variety so versatile and easily culinary matched but also with the ability to produce complex wines with age-ability.
A very good example of Soave at a very good price. This over-delivers.. Perfect with salads and light fish and shellfish dishes.
