Valentin Leflaive CV1830 Blanc de Blancs NV Extra Brut (6 Bottles) Champagne, France
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Launched in 2015, Valentin Leflaive was granted the status of ‘négociant-manipulant’ in 2020 enabling the company to manage the whole production chain including the purchase of grapes. A boutique winery was opened in Oger with a traditional ageing cellar dug deep into the chalk. Chef de Caves Christophe Pitois, who looks after the important relationship with the growers, is assisted by talented enologist Clément Galois. Both are from the Champagne region.
The colour reveals golden yellow reflections and a fine effervescence. The nose is expressive, with notes of ripe fruits such as white peach punctuated by brioche and toasted aromas. The attack is creamy and complex. A beautiful aromatic palate finishes on refreshing lemon and citrus notes.
12.5% ABV.
Sugrue Cuvée Boz Blanc de Blancs 2015 (6 Bottles) Haywards Heath, West Sussex, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Barry Ben Sugrue – affectionately known as Boz – was Dermot’s brother, and this exceptional Blanc de Blancs is made in his memory. "The truth is there is no fitting tribute to someone like Boz… however, this is my attempt.”
Cuvée Boz – 100% Chardonnay – is from Coldharbour Vineyard in West Sussex, planted in 2005 on chalk and flint soil. Vinified in stainless steel and without any oak ageing, it shows remarkable clarity and freshness that shines through its flinty minerality and a long, toasty finish.
Hanwell ‘Romance’ Rosé 2021 (6 Bottles) Hickling Pastures, Nottinghamshire, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
With a luscious mid-pink hue, this dry rosé has notes of raspberry and redcurrant on the nose that develop into tart cranberry and crisp red apple flavours in the palate, ending with a refreshing fruity finish.
Hanwell’s still dry rosé wine, made from Pinot red grapes grown at the Hanwell Wine Estate in South Nottinghamshire in 2021 & made into wine in South Nottinghamshire by international award winning maker Tony Skuriat, a true local wine!
The name “Romance” follows the story of young love, depicted in our wine names. From the early blushes to the romance of courtship.
