Fruit forward and fun. Red juicy, crunchy fruit and the fore from the Pinot Precoce, with some gentle pear and spice coming through from the Pinot Gris. Good minerality underpinning the fruit, with really appetising tacky tannins. A joy. L&S (Apr 2026)

Black Chalk is the passion project of Jacob Leadley. Started in 2015, Jacob started making wines in this beautiful corner of the Test Valley in Hampshire when he was still making wine at Hattingley. The first wines were released in 2018, and in 2020 his assistant at Hattingley, Zoe Driver, joined him and they've never looked back
Here, they are making some of the most exciting wines in England, in a meticulous and charmingly nerdy fashion. Across the 4 vineyards they own, they are working with 34 clones of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Précoce, and Pinot Gris, each with their own profile. However, most important of all is the solid chalk found beneath the shallow soils here. Many fishermen will recognise the Test Valley, famed for its chalk streams, but this great hunk of chalk beneath the vineyards is key to the purity and precision found in these wines.
We are incredibly excited to be working with these elegant, unique wines, made by a small but incredibly passionate team.
The Alternative Rosé | Mixed 6
The Alternative Rosé Collection: Escaping the Sea of Pale Pink
With delightful summer drinking in mind, this curated mixed case offers a thrilling tour of what happens when serious winemakers turn their attention to premium pink wine[cite: 10]. While it highlights an absolute benchmark from Provence, this selection intentionally looks beyond the famous postcodes of the Côte d'Azur to showcase winemakers creating wines full of unique character, complexity, and sheer gastronomic pleasure[cite: 10].
Instead of paying a premium for a flashy label, this collection focuses entirely on terroir, delivering incredible value and variety[cite: 10]. From a vibrant English still rosé grown on pure Hampshire chalk to a profoundly serious, 94-point Tavel, this case provides everything you need to break the routine and drink infinitely better this season[cite: 10]. For internal inventory references and seasonal sorting parameters, please refer to Summer Beaujolais Mixed 12.pdf[cite: 10].
Inside the Alternative Rosé Case:
- 2024 ROSE BONBON, Domaine des Diables: The absolute benchmark of classic Provence[cite: 10]. Grown on the limestone scree of Sainte Victoire, this is an explosive, highly complex rosé featuring notes of white peach, delicate rose petal, and a frictionless, silky texture[cite: 10].
- 2025 TAVEL La Dame Rousse, Domaine de la Mordorée: A profoundly serious, 94-point gastronomic rosé[cite: 10]. It features a deep brilliant pink hue heavily buffered by vivacious acidity, bursting with pink grapefruit, wild strawberry, and warm exotic spice[cite: 10].
- 2024 FEUDO Chiaretto, La Feliciana: A flawless expression of traditional Lake Garda rosé[cite: 10]. Crafted from the rare indigenous Groppello grape, it provides lifted hedgerow flowers and wild cherry driven by a highly refreshing, saline finish[cite: 10].
- 2025 ILLARIO ROSATO, Fattoria di Magliano: This 100 percent organic Sangiovese from the coastal Maremma is sleek, satin-like, and completely bone-dry[cite: 10]. An intellectual rosé featuring crunchy red cherry and native scrubland botanicals[cite: 10].
- 2024 DANCER IN PINK Rosé, Black Chalk: A tremendously vibrant still rosé from the Test Valley in Hampshire[cite: 10]. Early-ripening Pinot Précoce gives an explosive red-fruit character underpinned by fierce, saline chalk minerality and an appetizing textural grip[cite: 10].
- NV CUVÉE ROSÉ Spumante Brut, Il Follo: A unique, highly aromatic sparkling blend from the Veneto incorporating 15 percent Cabernet Sauvignon[cite: 10]. Expect zippy citrus, white spring flowers, and a wonderfully clean, dry finish[cite: 10].
Whether you are hosting a summer dinner party or looking for the perfect weekend aperitivo, these terroir-driven bottles are guaranteed to stand out in any ice bucket[cite: 10].
