Dry, elegant, stylish and well structured, this intense ruby red wine possesses an incomparable bouquet with an austere slightly tannic finish.

"Dark ruby with a garnet core. Beguilingly sweet aroma of mature cherry fruit. Sensations of cherry and plum confiture in the mouth; ripe and full, with accents of tobacco and spice very much in evidence. Shows nice acid thrust, and smooth tannins frame the striking dark fruit and mineral-laden finish."

Laurent Perrier Ultra Brut

Fri, 18 Nov 2011 13:45:13 GMT

In the last century, Laurent-Perrier was renowned for its 'Grand vin san Sucre'. In 1981, Alain Terrier decided to pay homage to this glorious past by creating Ultra Brut, a champagne without dosage. The grapes selected for this wine have a natural acid/sugar balance, so even when fermented to complete dryness no 'liqueur d'expédition' is required. Aged for four years prior to release, this clean, crisp champagne goes particularly well with oysters, caviar and other seafood.

Cépages: Chardonnay 55%, Pinot Noir 45%

Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel Rosé

Fri, 18 Nov 2011 10:41:20 GMT

A full flavoured dry sparkling Rosé made by the traditional Methodé Cap Classique by a second
fermentation in this bottle. Careful blending by our experienced winemaker creates a succulent Rosé
with fragrant berry fruitiness, finesse and silky smoothness on the palate.

In 2004 Simonsig winemaker, Johan Malan, created an innovative taste sensation by blending three
Pinots to launch the Kaapse Vonkel Brut Rosé. A world first, the blend contains South Africa’s own
Pinotage, in combination with Pinot noir and Pinot meunier (not 2007 vintage), the two classic red
varieties used in Champagne.

The delightful, romantic rosy salmon pink colour contrasts brightly with the the strings of pearly white
bubbles. Delicious aromas of frozen red berries and a hint of fresh succulent watermelonreveal its origin
from three noble red grape varieties. The mousse is very fine and enthusiastic and brings out the floral
and yeasty aromas on the palate. With the perfect balance between fruit, body and finesse it is bound to
add sparkle and sophistication to the most meaningful moments in your life. A wine that flirts with your
taste buds and fires up the imagination.

Delicious when youthful and refreshing when the primary grape bouquet is at its best.

Serving Suggestions - Chinese and Thai dishes, lightly dressed seafood salads, fruit salads with red fruits and berries, Japanese sushi, crayfish thermidor and last but definitely not the least smoked salmon.

Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel Classique Brut 2009

Laforet Bourgogne Blanc, Joseph Drouhin 2009

Laforet Bourgogne Chardonnay of Maison Drouhin is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes, handpicked from all over Burgundy.
It derives its bouquet and taste from various "terroirs" mostly Macon for the fruity flavours, although, in certain vintages, its crisp structure may come from Chablis, its body from Rully, Chassagne and Puligny Montrachet and its overall nascent complexity from the young vines of Joseph Drouhin own great "Crus".

Fleurie Domaine Lucien Lardy Les Roches 2009

Lucien Lardy cultivates some of the best plots in Fleurie. This explains why he was amongst the first to leave the village's cooperative in order to prove the terrific potential of his parcels and what parcels!
