2008 Auxey Duresses, Morey Blanc, en primeur 12 bottles per case
This is the negiociant business, set up by Pierre Morey and his wife Christiane Blanc. Pierre, who has now retired as Domaine Leflaive’s winemaker, continues with the family business under the Domaine Pierre Morey label, but has added the Maison Morey-Blanc to his repertoire. The main focus here is white wines, and they are bullish about the quality of these 08s, which are charged with ripe fruit and high natural acidity, ensuring freshness and vitality.

VILLA MARIA - Private Bin Gewurztraminer 2010 75cl Bottle
This wine shows perfumed and classic varietal aromas of petal, quince and spice. The palate reveals similar flavours, delivered with a seamless texture and balance. 100% Gewurztraminer. Each vineyard was harvested separately, with fruit destemmed and crushed into the press. To aid flavour extraction, the skins and free-run juice were held for a skin contact period of two to four hours prior to being gently pressed. The resulting juice was cold settled then racked clean and inoculated with aromatic yeast strains. Cool fermentation techniques were employed to promote fruit aromatics and intensity. Ferments were tasted daily and stopped to retain some natural residual sugar, enhancing mouth-feel and richness. The wine was then blended, lightly fined, cold stabilised and filtered prior to bottling.
Adnams Explores Chardonnay Case
Chardonnay is a grape that polarises opinions. Most adore it, and look to the sublime wines of Burgundy to discover Chardonnays with intense aromas of lemon, lime, angelica and liquorice aromas with a creamy, smooth texture. Others view it with distain, perhaps because they have only encountered, blousey, over-blown examples and view it as dull and boring. This lovely case shows why you should never write off Chardonnay as boring - there's far too much diversity and blossoming of styles to ignore it.
