WINES RECENTLY IN THE PRESS<\/span><\/strong>
\nThe Evening Standard, Andrew Neather:<\/strong>
\nHaving said that he was going to ‘slate Beaujolais Nouveau’ in his column he rather liked ours!
\n2011 BEAUJOLAIS VILLAGES NOUVEAU Domaine Rochette<\/strong>
\nThe exception that proves the rule: a Nouveau from a top producer in the cru village of Regni\u00e9 – bright, ripe, silky fruit, fresh and very moreish. <\/em><\/p>\n

The Independent, Anthony Rose:<\/strong>
\n2008 CHASSAGNE MONTRACHET Domaine Fernand & Laurent Pillot<\/a><\/strong>
\nThis luxurious, superbly crafted dry white Burgundy balances exotically opulent ripeness with a seductively complex richness of chardonnay fruit enlivened by taut crisp acidity and a nutty, dry mineral finish.<\/em><\/p>\n

FINO Dos Palmas Gonzalez Byass<\/a><\/strong>
\nOne of Gonzales Byass’ four stunning new limited edition sherries, this eight year old fino is smoky, intensely nutty and moreishly bone dry, finishing with a sea-salt tang.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Telegraph Weekend, Victoria Moore:<\/strong>
\n2009 GIVRY Pied de Clou Domaine Fran\u00e7ois Lumpp<\/strong>
\n‘Upmarket pinot noir for the turkey’. Yes, this burgundy’s still a baby but 2009 produced such lush wines that you can get away with it. And Lumpp’s Givry is a revelation: supple, flowing and ripe.<\/em><\/p>\n

2009 CHIANTI DON GUIDO Fattoria La Collina<\/strong>
\n‘A taste of Italy’. Awful label, brilliant wine. I’m tricky about Chianti. It has to be right – not too heavy, redolent of dust, incense, mushrooms and cherries. This blend of sangiovese, canaiolo and malvasia nera ticks every box. It’s slightly leathery (a wee bit of what I call ‘good brett’)and at under \u00a310 it’s also superb value.<\/em><\/p>\n

2009 LANGHE NEBBIOLO Andrea Oberto<\/a><\/strong>
\nThe barolo grape in a more thirst quenching incarnation. This has freshness and fluency and its tannin prickles pleasingly on the tongue. Think roses and polished mahogany rather than roses and tar. Fabulous with veal saltimbocca, egg pasta with mushrooms or truffles.<\/em><\/p>\n

The FT ‘How to Spend It’ magazine \u2013 Jane Parkinson<\/strong>
\n\u2018Popping the Question\u2019 \u2013 an authoritative article about Champagne Disgorgement, by Jane Parkinson (winner of Louis Roederer International Award 2009 for writing champagne),\u00a0with both Larmandier Bernier \u2018Terre de Vertus\u2019 <\/a>and Egly Ouriet \u2018 Brut Tadition\u2019 highlighted as two\u00a0top examples.<\/p>\n

NSPCC CITY FINE WINE CHALLENGE 2011 –The Result<\/a><\/strong><\/span>
\nOur sixth year of\u00a0hosting\u00a0the NSPCC City Fine Wine Challenge was great fun and a huge success, resulting in a record sum of \u00a3195,000.00!<\/span>
\nIf you our your business would like to get involved in next year’s event do contact us and we will put you in touch with the NSPCC.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

LEA & SANDEMAN NEWSLETTER<\/span><\/strong>

Caption competition.<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe have so far had only three publishable entries, each winning a bottle of Valdespino’s ‘Contrabandista’ Amontillado<\/a>, as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

“Bring out the sherry, senorita, I’ve just heard from Madrid that the ECB is going to buy Spanish debt!” <\/em>Christopher Walker<\/span><\/p>\n

“Look what I won in a caption competition” <\/span><\/em>Simon Dicketts<\/span><\/p>\n

\nSend us your completed entry and you could win a magnum of Lea & Sandeman Bordeaux<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n
