Domaine de Vedilhan Serica Viognier 2024
Domaine de Vedilhan Serica is a rich and expressive Viognier from the Languedoc , produced by the Fayet family in Moussan near Narbonne in partnership with Boutinot . With aromas of crystallised orange peel and a palate of ripe stone fruits enhanced by subtle barrel-fermented texture, this is a Viognier of genuine complexity, balance, and satisfaction. Why You'll Love It Boutinot has been collaborating with the Fayet family at Domaine de Vedilhan since 1999, working closely on harvest timing, blends, and vinification style to produce Viognier of exceptional quality. A brook runs around the estate, providing much-needed water in the hot Languedoc climate and giving the wines a freshness and vibrancy that sets them apart. The estate employs lutte raisonnee vineyard management and holds HVE3 certification for sustainable practices. This is Languedoc Viognier at its most refined and expressive. Vineyard and Production The terroir is a combination of limestone, sand, and sea shale, allowing the vines to dig deep for nutrients and produce concentrated, high-quality fruit. Grapes are picked at optimum ripeness, with two-thirds barrel-fermented in mature French oak to add subtle texture and richness without overpowering the fruit. The remaining third is vinified in stainless steel to preserve freshness and aromatic lift. Tasting Notes Aromas of crystallised orange peel with a powerful yet restrained palate. Barrel fermentation enhances texture and richness, allowing ripe stone fruits to shine through. The finish is complex, elegant, and well-balanced, with a lingering warmth that speaks of the terroir. Perfect Pairings Pairs beautifully with seared scallops, pan-fried tiger prawns with garlic, or aromatic Vietnamese dishes. Also excellent with creamy chicken dishes and mild spiced cuisine.

Sauvion Les Bosquets Vouvray 2024
Domaine Sauvion Les Bosquets Vouvray is an expressive, off-dry Chenin Blanc from one of the Loire Valley's most celebrated appellations. Planted on tuffeau and clay-limestone soils around the village of Vouvray, with cool continental influences preserving freshness and aromatic lift, this is a wine that captures the classic balance of ripe fruit and bright acidity that defines great Vouvray — approachable, refined, and with a long, lively finish. Why You'll Love It Domaine Sauvion is a family-run producer rooted in Vouvray tradition, focused on crafting Chenin Blancs that combine regional typicity with modern precision. Meticulous vineyard work, gentle pressing, and careful lees contact all contribute to a wine of real clarity and character. Chenin Blanc is one of the world's most versatile white grapes, and this is a brilliant, food-friendly introduction to what Vouvray does best. Vineyard & Production Grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness from tuffeau and clay-limestone soils, then gently pressed to preserve varietal aromatics. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel to retain fresh fruit character, with careful lees contact to add texture before bottling. Minimal intervention ensures clarity of expression and a clean, balanced profile. Tasting Notes Pale lemon with green reflections. The nose reveals ripe apple, pear, and subtle floral notes alongside a touch of honeyed richness. The palate is rounded and juicy — bright acidity, a hint of stone-fruit sweetness, and a refreshing, mineral-tinged finish that lingers. Perfect Pairings Wonderfully versatile at the table. Excellent with shellfish, white fish, roast poultry, soft cheeses, and light vegetarian dishes. Also a great match for mildly spiced Asian cuisine — the off-dry character handles gentle heat beautifully. The Blend Chenin Blanc 100%
