Olivier Leflaive Bourgogne Blanc Les Sétilles 2023 (6 Bottles) Burgundy, France

£223.00
by Bancroft Wines

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Olivier comanaged Domaine Leflaive with his uncle Vincent through the 1980s and then with his cousin Anne-Claude in the early 1990s. It was at this time that he established Olivier Leflaive Frères. Olivier Leflaive has since acquired an enviable 15 hectares of vines across Puligny, Chassagne and Meursault.

Les Sétilles has a bright bouquet of apples and summer flowers with lively citrus and white peach flavours, and a refreshing mineral note on the finish.

13% ABV.

Gusbourne Late Disgorged Brut Reserve 2013 (6 Bottles) Appledore, Kent, England

£630.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

This Library Release wine has been gently maturing in our cellars. A Pinot Noir-dominated blend from a cool vintage, this wine is elegant and nuanced with layers of complex flavours. The overall impression is bright and vibrant. Notes of red currant, red fruits and orange zest sitting alongside cloves, cherry bark and a delicious succulent apricot note. The finish is complex and long.

Every year, we release a small number of late-disgorged wines. These are particularly luxurious and fine thanks to a special winemaking technique.

If you’re already familiar with Dom Perignon’s Plénitude or Bollinger’s RD, then you know the magical combination of freshness allied with delicious flavours of brioche, cream, butter and toast that characterise late-disgorged wines.

But how does this kind of ageing alchemy happen? The answer lies in the lees.

Stopham Estate Sparkling 2019 (6 Bottles) Pulborough, West Sussex, England

£210.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Our Sparkling Wine spent 24 months on lees before disgorgement and has a lovely taste of honeyed brioche with grapefruit and citrus fruits.

Lyme Bay Traditional Mead (6 Bottles) Axminster, Devon, England

£88.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

A sweet, full-flavoured mead with rich, deep honey flavours and a moreish honeycomb finish. A great accompaniment to strong cheeses and full-flavoured casseroles.

Often referred to as the “Nectar of the Gods”, the golden drink has enjoyed a resurgence in recent years, with the demand from people eager to buy mead reaching new heights, which has certainly kept us busy!

Here at Lyme Bay, we have been perfecting our award-winning meads for over 25 years now and often experiment with new and bold flavours to push the boundaries of what is possible with mead.
