Nick Faldo Selection Coonawarra Sauvignon Blanc South Australia
Description: Tasting Note As fresh as a daisy, and crisper than a well-struck nine-iron shot, with herbaceous lemongrass, lime and gooseberry on the nose. The palate has a hint of tropical fruit behind the racy citrus. 13% Producer Profile Hand-harvested, foot-trodden and carefully made by two-time Masters Champion Nick Faldo...well, not quite. The Faldo range is made by top Aussie winemaker Wayne Stehbens at Katnook Estate in Coonawarra to a style both he and Nick love: full-flavoured with plenty of fruit but elegant too. 2006 was Wayne's 26th vintage at Katnook Estate and he is now firmly established as Australia's best Sauvignon Blanc winemaker. (6 x 75 cl)

Jean-Claude Boisset Gevrey Chambertin AC
Description: This Gevrey-Chambertin from Jean-Claude Boisset is made using fruit from old vines, primarily from two Premier Cru vineyards in Gevrey. Boisset used to buy wine from the grower who owns the Crepiot vineyard, but since Gregory's arrival they buy grapes instead. In addition, Gregory has worked closely with the grower to improve the quality of the fruit arriving at the winery. This quality shines through in the finished wine, which has lovely black cherry fruit giving way to a minerally yet luscious character on the palate. (6 x 75 cl)
Price: £150.60
