Louis Jadot Domaine du Bouchet Macon Lugny 2023
Louis Jadot Mâcon-Lugny Le Bouchet is a very approachable, single-vineyard Chardonnay from the Mâconnais, the southern tip of Burgundy where Chardonnay thrives on calcareous hillside soils and delivers the freshness, floral lift, and fruit purity that make the appellation such a reliable source of excellent-value white Burgundy. Vinified in stainless steel to preserve aromatic freshness, this is a clean, elegant, and thoroughly satisfying Chardonnay from one of Burgundy's most trusted names. Why You'll Love It Louis Jadot is one of Burgundy's most celebrated and respected négociants, with a history stretching back to 1859. Le Bouchet is a single vineyard site in Mâcon-Lugny, a village appellation with a strong reputation for producing some of the Mâconnais's most characterful whites. If you love white Burgundy but want the quality without the Meursault price tag, this is exactly the bottle to reach for. Vineyard & Production Sourced from a single hillside vineyard planted on calcareous soils in Mâcon-Lugny. Vinified in stainless steel tanks to extract maximum floral and fruity aromas and preserve freshness. Dry, with residual sugar under 2g/l. Tasting Notes Pale gold in colour. Floral and fruity on the nose, with fresh citrus and stone fruit aromas. The palate is clean, vibrant, and well-balanced, approachable and expressive, with a fresh, lingering finish typical of the Mâconnais style. Perfect Pairings Perfect with fish, white meats, and salads. Also excellent as an aperitif on its own, or alongside soft cheeses, grilled prawns, and light pasta dishes. Grape Variety Chardonnay 100%
Menade Nosso (Natural Organic Verdejo) 2023
Bodegas Menade is one of Rueda's most exciting natural wine producers, crafting expressive, terroir-driven whites from old Verdejo vines grown on stony clay and limestone soils. Menade Nosso is their flagship natural wine — organic, vegan-friendly, and made with minimal intervention to let the grape and the land speak for themselves. Why You'll Love It This is natural Verdejo at its most characterful — floral, creamy, and alive with texture. Unlike conventional Rueda whites that prioritise clean, neutral fruit, Nosso embraces wild yeast fermentation and extended lees ageing to deliver a wine of real personality and depth. No sulphur is added during vinification, making this a genuinely natural wine that still manages to be beautifully balanced and utterly drinkable. Organic, vegetarian, and vegan — nature in a bottle. Vineyard & Production Verdejo grapes are hand-harvested from selected parcels on stony clay and limestone soils in Rueda. Fermentation takes place using wild yeasts in stainless steel at 18–24°C, with malolactic fermentation occurring spontaneously. The wine is then gently racked and spends around three months on lees before bottling. No sulphur is added at any stage of the vinification process. The estate is certified organic. Tasting Notes Gentle floral and fresh grape aromas open on the nose, with inviting creamy vanilla notes. The palate has a lovely, rounded texture packed with distinctive leesy, bready, and floral character — complex, satisfying, and refreshingly different from conventional whites. Perfect Pairings A wonderfully versatile food wine, perfect with grilled white fish, seafood tapas, goat's cheese, roasted vegetables, mushroom risotto, soft rind cheeses, or a simple charcuterie board. Also excellent as an aperitif for those who appreciate natural wine. The Blend Verdejo 100%
