Antoine's Wine Selection

This is fast becoming one of the most popular white wines at L&S. As ever M. Filliatreau gives his white around six week in the barrels that will be used for the red once that is ready to come out of its fermentation...(read more)

The second wine of L’Hêtre, a new wine in the distinctly up-and-coming AP of Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux. Owned by the Thienpont family, organically farmed and situated high on the limestone plateau to the ea...(read more)

80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Malbec. With Alcée and La Prade, one of a trio of lesser reds from Nicolas Thienpont which impressed this year.

We really are in a sweet spot with Tuscan releases at the moment and this is the first of two consecutive vintages of simply cracking wines. The 2015 is slightly more muscular and powerful, plenty of rich berry and damso...(read more)

Wow. This is just what you'd hope for from this smart address in the little known Cerons appellation of the Graves. Caroline and Xavier have been working hard to raise the profile of their reds here - and they seem to be...(read more)

70% Chardonnay from Bisseuil, a very early-ripening site, with expressive aromas of white flowers and subtle peach. Only 6g/l of dosage, but rich and harmonious, the ripeness from the sunny site. Inviting, simply delicio...(read more)

A big, full-blown, powerful blanc de noirs (100% Pinot Noir from the Grand Cru vineyards of Bouzy), which nevertheless retains a balance and freshness along with its considerable vinosity. Rated even higher than Bollinge...(read more)

Wow. Every sip here is a thrill. The Latitude is a very dry blend of 100% Chardonnay from Vertus (this is in fact an extra-brut), elegant and pure flavours, making for an interesting contrast to the Egly-Ouriet style. Br...(read more)
