Yet unlike many austere Sancerres, this wraps its minerality in a silky sheet of ripe fruit with hints of lemon and honeydew melon… George De Bouef 2011 Beaujolais Village This famous light red from southern Burgundy is made from Gamay grapes. It's a juicy, refreshing young thing with a surge of sappy, plummy fruit to it, lightest body, very soft tannins and tangy acidity; just the thing for ham, gruyere with crusty bread. Joseph Drouhin 2012 Beaujolais Villages Another example of French genius with wine. Light and breezy, the truly typical character with easy-drinking softness and a mouth-watering finish. Joseph Drouhin 2012 Chablis This is a delicious and precise chardonnay, true to its style and a delight to drink. Attractive golden and shining colour, with a slightly light green hue; its aromas are well defined and neat with floral touches; it offers a good purity of taste, a clear-cut impression, as well as a nice mineral texture.

Elefante 2011 Blanco The aromas are restrained but enticing with subtle stone fruit and citrus. The palate follows the theme with originally delicate mineral and stone flavours building to a textural mid palate that is mouth coating and persistent.

A smokey weave of oak on the finish that is satisfying and long-lasting. Torres Sangre de Toro Deep ruby colour with a hint of ochre. Rich complex Mediterranean aromas with exuberant notes of spices and blackberries. Velvety tannins are noted on the palate with elegant flavours of licorice and small dark forest fruits. "Sangre de Toro", whose name is inspired by Baccus, Roman god of wine, known in ancient times as "Son of the Bull". Torres Vina Esmerelda Excellent with shellfish (a sublime match for an avocado and shellfish salad, for instance), as well as with fish, fresh melon with cured Spanish ham, pâtés, poultry or pork in a sweet and sour sauce. Serve at 11ºC. Vela Blanca Albarino Reflecting the vintage, the nose is somewhat restrained and very fresh with aromas of citrus and stone fruit lifted by floral highlights. Italy Fonterutoli 2009 Chianti Classico DOCG Selected among Fonterutoli's 120 different parcels, after the master blend of its "big brother" Castello di Fonterutoli.

Macrostie Sonoma 2010 Chardonnay "Pale straw gold in color, with bright floral and citrus aromas, like lemon custard. In the mouth it is rich and creamy, with crisp apple and ripe pear flavors, spiced up with just a touch of toasty oak. The finish is smooth as satin, but lingers on".
