Lyme Bay, Pinot Noir 2024
Bright cherry red in the glass, this 100% Pinot Noir is packed with vibrant red fruits, layered with a touch of vanilla oak, soft herbs and gentle spice. Cherry, raspberry and redcurrant lead the way on the palate, with a hint of mulberry and a subtle earthy, mushroom note adding depth. It’s concentrated yet refined, with a smooth texture and a nicely lingering finish. Made from fruit sourced across several top Essex sites — Crouch Ridge Estate, Tudwick Hall, Riverview, Crows Lane and Martins Lane — it shows just how far English Pinot has come. Great with lamb and spot-on with game dishes.
Mercurey Rouge Premier Cru 'Les Vasées', Domaine François Raquillet 2021
François Raquillet's 2021 Premier Cru Les Vasées is a great example of why this domaine is getting so much attention. The wine is full of bright red cherry and raspberry fruit, with a touch of spice and a hint of earthiness underneath. The palate is supple and generous but still carries that classic Mercurey structure, giving it both charm and depth.
