Journalists are saying...

“ ...the Rhône offers wines of tremendous class and winter-warming heartiness at an affordable price. For anybody who wants to explore further, I have selected four examples from the list of Yapp Brothers, long-term Rhône specialists and enthusiasts. No British wine merchant understands the region better. ”

Wine of the month

Each month we select a mixed, 12-bottle case of seasonal wines that we believe to be showing particularly well. These wines are always open for tasting at our shop in Mere.

Anjou

Anjou, named after its principal town Angers, 75 kilometres inland from Nantes on the north bank of La Loire, has such extensive vine plantings that it is difficult to generalise about production. There are decent dry whites, principally from Chenin Blanc, exemplified here by Vincent Lecointre’s steely, dry offering. Anjou boasts a handful of celebrated, world-class wine-makers whose sought after wines are exceeding difficult to source on the open market. Foremost of these is Marc Angeli whose biodynamic bottlings set the standard.
