The Spectator Wine Club Offer Case
"The Yapps are unrivalled in rootling out the rarest, tastiest vinous treasures of France."
Ray Recommends… Best of the Spectator Wine Club
We are proud of our long-standing relationship with The Spectator magazine and, despite his frequently besmirching us in print, we do have something of a soulmate in their consummate critic Jonathan Ray. Herewith, a selection of some of his and our favourite wines that have featured in the magazine this past year.
In addition, from the March Wine Club we have just a few 3-bottle gift packs remaining of the Premier Cru Morey-Saint-Denis – "...a stunning red burgundy that's just hitting its elegant stride." - @ £159 delivered.
The mixed case has two bottles of each wine and delivery, as ever, is free.
Côtes du Vivarais: Vignerons Ardéchois 'Grand Aven' Blanc 2022
"...it's cracking value. A blend of Grenache Blanc and Marsanne, it's soft, citrusy and creamy with spring blossom and peach."
Yapp White Burgundy: Cave de Lugny 2022
"...it's as fine a house white burgundy as you'll find, at as fair a price. With fresh lemon, honey, nuts and cream, it's a gem."
Chablis: Domaine Christophe Camu 2022
"It has that elusive whisper of honey on the nose – it's there and it's gone – and a green apple-laden, bone-dry finish. It's fresh and – thanks to the fruit of 50-year-old vines – intense and concentrated."
Yapp Côtes du Rhône Red 2022
"...it's plummy, juicy, soft, silky and so damn moreish that I can't imagine anyone not clasping it to them in sheer joy."
Bordeaux Supérieur: Château d'Abzac 2021
"A first-rate petit château at a crazy price... This elegant 100 per cent Merlot from near Pomerol, just north of Libourne, is an absolute steal."
Saumur Champigny: Domaine Filliatreau 2020
"Gosh, it's tasty! 100 per cent organic/ biodynamic Cabernet Franc from the Loire, it's super-fresh yet concentrated, with plenty of lively bramble fruit and a touch of spice. Great at room temperature, it also stands a bit of chilling and is absolutely perfect springtime fare."
