Since the 1800s, the Camut family has grown 115 acres of apple trees in the Pays d'Auge, the finest growing region for Calvados. In Normandy, 800 types of apples are grown; the Camut family grow about 25 of these, all of which are hand-harvested.
While pears are allowed in Calvados (actually mandatory in the Domfrontais region with a minimum of 30%), only apples grown on the Camut property are used in Camut Calvados. Cider is made from these apples and … more
Disgorged March 2019. Terroirs is produced from only great sites and is 100% Grand Cru. The fruit comes from four villages in the Côte des Blancs: Avize, Cramant, Oger and Oiry. The vines average 40 years of age, and Agrapart uses around 40-50% reserve wine. After a natural fermentation, half of the wine is matured in large format, neutral oak and then spends up to 48 months on lees. Dosage is limited to 5 g/L and disgorgement is carried out … more
Disgorged May 2019. This is a very special wine from a very special plot of dirt. It comes from one-third of a hectare of vines in the renowned Avize vineyard called La Fosse. The vines here were planted in 1959 so they are extremely old by Champagne standards. It's therefore a single parcel cuvée made in tiny quantities each year. The wine is named after the Boulonnais mare, Vénus, that first ploughed the vineyard. Apart from being ploughed by horse, … more
65% Tannat, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc yielding 45 hl/ha. Malo is done in barrel and the wine is bottled without filtration. An elegant expression of Madiran offering more body and depth than many Bordeaux at prices that reach well above the modest price for this wine. Fragrant with blackcurrants plum and spice. Wonderfully fresh on the palate with remarkably refined tannins.
Pale yellow-gold color. Very ripe aromas of peach, apricot and smoky minerality are a bit more dynamic than those of the Prêtres de Quintaine. Unctuous on entry, then tighter in the middle palate, with very ripe stone fruit flavors accented by spicy oak. This thick but energetic wine shows a distinctly creamy quality for the vintage. Finishes with slowly mounting length and
considerable power. This mid-slope climat on red clay soil with small stones in the extreme north of the … more
Bonhomme’s Vire-Clesse Les Hauts des Menards comes from an old parcel planted 85 years ago. The shallow clay-limestone of this fairly steep slope has a large proportion of red clay. Fermentation and maturation take place in oak casks over 24 months before bottling. The wine is naturally rich with a beautiful structure balanced by a refreshing minerality which also contributes to its satisfying length.
100% Pinot Noir from Clouet's best plots, dubbed by Jean-Francois Clouet "the golden square of Bouzy".
It is 50% current vintage fermented in old Sauternes barriques & 50% solera reserve wine - the estate's best reserve wines dating from 2001. The wine ages sur lie in bottle for a number of years before it receives a low 6-grams per liter dosage.
Cuvée 1911 commemorates the year riots broke out in the Champagne region as the local farmers rebelled against the … more
100% Pinot Noir.
I just can't get enough of it - especially at this price. The Andre Clouet grande reserve brut is a delicious wine made from 100 per cent pinot noir with all the richness and definition that variety offers. There's plenty of fine bead, red fruits mingled with citrus, and earthy, warm spice (think star anise and cinnamon), zesty and dry on the finish. It builds on the palate and is quite voluptuous, almost full- bodied for champagne, … more
'I say 10% of the blend is from my blood!' declares Jean-Francois Clouet, who has changed the style of his family's rose to a fresher and more direct mood, not so soft, aiming for the lively impression of malic acidity, even though it goes through full malolactic fermentation. The result is a rose that epitomises elegance and focus, in the midst of the generous red fruits that characterise Bouzy and Ambonnay. The cuvee encapsulates that wonderful talent of pinot noir … more
Described by the winery as if the Champagne were snow, downy and delicate with powdery fresh effervescence. The zero dosage style here is realised in in the purity of expression in the wine. The nose is rich and toasty with touches of both fresh strawberries and dried apples, a beautiful expression of Pinot Noir as it evolves in Champagne. Structured, full and balanced on the palate.
100% Pinot Noir from Grand Cru vineyards in Bouzy.
Producers Notes - "Pinot Noir does not mature directly, in linear fashion.
Upon reaching its 6th year, it passes into a phase known as "The Whirlwind"
Propelled by an unseen force it reaches outward, taking on another dimension.
The wine becomes charged with energy and vibrations.
It glows... and becomes transcendent!
Deep, bright, effervescent... Taking off and on approach to Celestial Harmony.
As you taste it, prepare yourself to be launched … more

42% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Cabernet Franc. Simply, the quintessential and classic Bordeaux drinking experience. Black, curranty fruits, green tobacco, a little leafiness, and a beautiful
profile of grainy, gravelly tannin. The Franc element gives some lovely aromatic lift; an elegant and savoury claret for easy enjoyment, on its own or with just about any classic French dish.
Light, minerally and crisp, with lemon-limey and other citrus characters. It's lightness makes it a winner with things like Oysters Nat and grilled white fish. Or even just fish 'n chips.
