GewurztraminerIn November 2008 we visited Cave de Turckheim, nestling in the foothills of the Vosges mountains and discovered why for many it represents the quintessential taste of Alsace. This is a full, richly aromatic wine, both delicate and complex. Fresh, fruity but off-dry, rather than bone dry, this wine makes a wonderful aperitif but it is also a perfect match for soft cheeses and any spicy ethnic cuisines. Let this wine be your partner for all your spicy foods in future and say goodbye to cold, fizzy beer!Try something new---go for Gewurzt! Drink now---2012

Chenin BlancIn the shadows of the famous 15th century Ch. Royal D'Amboise, where Leonardo de Vinci spent his last days, are the vines of Domaine de la Perdrielle. Vincent Gandon is the fifth generation of the family to make this stylish dry Chenin Blanc, a frequent winner of prestigious awards. Produced as "sec" only when conditions are favourable, this wine takes no prisoners.

ChardonnayFrench wine consumers who love real Burgundy Chardonnay and have an eye for a bargain, head towards south Burgundy, in particular to Pouilly-Vinzelles, rather than it's illustrious larger neighbour Pouilly Fuissé. Here in the Mâconnais, where unusually the majority of white Burgundy is made in the 15 local co-operatives rather than by the individual growers, the prestige Caves des Grand Crus Blancs consistently produces gold medal winning wines.The 2008 Vinzelles is a lovely typically dry Chardonnay with hues of pale gold and an intense nose of toasted brioche, spices and white flowers. On tasting the wine is rich yet discrete and well balanced with good length and notes of lime,cinnamon and honey. A wine that drinks wonderfully well now but will also age like a graceful Grande-Dame for up to 10 years.A blockbuster wine from southern Burgundy, the home of great Chardonnay.Drink now---2018

The special Kimmeridgian chalk soils, formed from fossilised oysters millions of years ago, occur very rarely on planet Earth. Hence there is nothing quite like Chablis in the world of wine and especially those wines from the smaal percentage of 1er Cru and Grand Cru vineyards overlooking the village of Milly and the old town of Chablis itself. Pale gold, great legs, dry, crisp and with complex flavours of white peach, farmhouse butter, citrus and pistachio. Traditional Chablis with supremely balanced fruit and acidity from a master vigneron.Guaranteed to impress.Drink now---2014
