by Bancroft Wines

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Under the guidance of longtime winemaker Bruno Gaspard and the Vacheron siblings, Marilou and Axel, Le Clos du Caillou has become one of the most distinctive and admired names in the Rhône Valley. Nestled just 200 metres from Château Rayas, the estate boasts exceptional terroirs ranging from sandy soils to the famous galets roulés, resulting in wines of purity, finesse, and impressive ageing potential. 

Shows a beautiful red garnet color, with bright and clear reflections. On the nose, we find very opened and expressive aromas, showing ref fruit notes, cherry and raspberry with poeny notes. In the mouth, this wine shows delicious texture, supple and delicate tannins, with strawberry, raspberry and redcurrant notes paired with eucalytpus aromas, giving a very fresh and intense wine. We find also white pepper and spicy notes, ending on delicate oaky notes giving roundness and a beautiful long finish. It`s a brillant wine, ready to drink now but with a few years ageing potential."

Lyme Bay Chardonnay 2021 (6 Bottles) Axminster, Devon, England

£150.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Fermented in a mixture of stainless steel and oak at cool temperatures using selected Burgundy yeast strains to enhance complexity, stone fruit, floral characters and minerality. Post-fermentation there was full malolactic fermentation and extended fine lees ageing with some bâtonnage to accentuate the natural weight.

A late dry spell in 2021 allowed us to hang the fruit for as long as possible to ensure we attained peak physiological ripeness for our house style. The Chardonnay 2021 is a blend of aromatic and non-aromatic chardonnay fruit sourced from a collection of growers in Essex where the microclimate and soil allow the grapes to achieve excellent ripeness, harvested between 31st October and 7th November 2021.
