Such wines will repay your investment, providing you with special days for years to come. Pinot Noir Côte de Beaune 2005 Sélections Anne Claude Leflaive further details on Sélections Anne-Claude "Pinot Noir: Why you get what you pay for" The Guardian, Victoria Moore, 24th May 2008 Anne-Claude Leflaive is one of the big names in burgundy; this wine, made by her cousin, Eric de Suremain, who also works to biodynamic principles, capitalises on that name, but not unfairly. A lovely wine that comes at you in gentle layers, with soft, sweetly ripe pinot fruit and a hint of minerals. Drink it with: perfect for early summer - try it with a ham joint served with peas and other greens Score: 4 stars £92.00 per 6 (inc. VAT) add to basket Extra Brut Oenophile Non-Dosé 1er Cru 1999 Pierre Gimonnet et Fils “Wine : Bubble Jeapordy,” The Independent, Anthony Rose, The bone-dry style is well-adapted to oysters, seafood and Japanese cuisine, as Didier Gimonnet pointed out when I caught up with him and his brilliantly creamy 1999 Gimonnet Extra Brut Oenophile Non-Dosé champagne at this spring's Champagne Bureau tasting. But ultra-dry champagne can be a little too too austere for many palates. According to the author of the Champagne and Sparkling Wine Guide, £180.97 per 6 (inc. VAT) add to basket Rothenberg Grand Cru 2006 Baron Heyl “Liquid Gold,” The Observer, The image of German wines is so bad that the toilet link is damningly apposite. Ask most people to come up with their impressions of German wines, and the responses are immediate: sweet, cheap and naff. You'd get a very different answer if you posed the same question in But maybe opinions are beginning to change. I think there are three reasons for this. First, The 2006 Rothenberg Riesling Trocken, Freiherr Heyl zu Hernsheim, Rheinhessen is taut, intense and finely crafted. £375.17 (inc VAT) - available from June 2008 Angelo Gaja The prolific producer of fabulous Italian wine from the renowned Gaja estates, recently came to London for the Worldwide Sommeliers Association to conduct a seminar. Between the Italian trade tasting during the day and the eager crowds gathering to hear him speak in the evening, we were able to fit in an interview. Please click here to watch the interview hosted by Harpers.co.uk "Star Buys" The Times, Jane MacQuitty, Marlborough sauvignon from the northern tip of New Zealand’s South Island continues to be a modish New World classic. This soft, floral, yet elegant, zesty, verdant ‘06 gets my vote. £143.40 (inc. VAT) add to basket Château Grand Village Rouge 2004, Bordeaux Superieur "Star Buys" The Times, Jane MacQuitty, Bordeaux continues to infuriate and delight in equal measure, so it is a relief to find a humble bordeaux supérieur property that manages to make good wine most years like this soft, velvety, herby claret. £101.17 (inc. VAT) add to basket Riesling 2006, Borthwick “Wine: Kiwi Fruit” The Independent, Anthony Rose, £125.40 (inc. VAT) add to basket Seresin, Pinot Gris 2006 “Wine: Kiwi Fruit” The Independent, Anthony Rose, £98.10 per 6 (inc.

Full-bodied yet ultrarefined, with dense, seamless, caressing tannins. Everything is in the right proportion. Superb. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best after 2009. 97 points, James Suckling, Wine Spectator’s Insider, Sassicaia 2004, Tenuta San Guido, Bolgheri, Tuscany Aromas of chocolate, currant and blackberry, with a hint of Spanish cedar. Full-bodied, with firm, velvety tannins and a long, long finish. Racy and very well-structured. Builds on the palate. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best after 2012. 94 points, James Suckling, Wine Spectator’s Insider, Château Monbousquet 2001 & Seresin Marama Sauvignon Blanc 2004 "...Armit's summer sale (020-7908 0660) offers almost 200 wines and hefty discounts, including three cases for the price of two, cheapest is free, on a dozen wines. Anyone for the new cult claret Château Monbousquet 2001 at £46 a bottle, or Seresin's sparky superior Marama Sauvignon Blanc for £10.80 a throw should get a move on."
