Half Bottles Mixed Case
Wines included
Half bottle of The Society's Beaujolais-Villages 2022
The Society's Beaujolais-Villages is made from gamay and represents all that is best about Beaujolais. A medium-bodied, fruity wine with vibrant red-fruit perfume and a refreshing, satisfying palate. Beaujolais has always been an ideal bistro wine and goes brilliantly with a wide variety of dishes, from charcuterie to fish, fowl and roasted vegetables. Delicious too, slightly chilled, with a baked Camembert or Brie and a baguette. Bresse chickens are a national symbol of France, tricolore coloured with their blue feet, white feathers and red comb. Not only is the quality fantastic, but it's a top match for Beaujolais and deserves its place on our new label here.
Half bottle of Château Bel Air Perponcher Rouge Réserve, Bordeaux 2020
Ever consistent Bordeaux red, a plump, satisfying blend of mainly merlot, with 15% cabernet sauvignon for added structure and finesse. Lovely cassis perfume and pure, ripe fruit on the palate.
Half bottle of Château Bel Air Perponcher Blanc Réserve, Bordeaux 2023
This mouthwatering Bordeaux blend of sauvignon blanc and semillon has a touch of muscadelle for added character and depth of flavour. A refreshing and consistent performer year after year, made by the Despagne family.
Half bottle of The Society's White Burgundy 2023
A fine, dry white wine of great delicacy from the Mâconnais in southern Burgundy, the warmest part of the region. The wine is ripe and round, with flavours of toasted hazelnut, apple and stone fruit, a hint of citrus and a lovely streak of minerality. The quality of the wine reflects the deep involvement in its selection by successive buyers and the skill of our ‘man on the ground`, Jean-Marc Darbon, who excels in sourcing the right blending options for us to work with. The fierce zander (sandre in French), also known as the pikeperch, thrives in the rivers of Burgundy and is shown on this wine's new label. It is a great freshwater quarry – and delicacy – for fishermen and food lovers in Burgundy. It has a fine flavour because its carnivorous and so is much superior to that of weed-eating fish. It's as good as brown trout to eat and appears frequently on menus in Burgundian restaurants. Don`t hesitate to try it.
Half bottle of Muga Reserva, Rioja 2020
Yet again the Muga family have released an outstanding reserva Rioja which is full-bodied and layered with fruit which is enhanced by the skilful use of oak ageing. Decant to drink now or hold for several years to mature. Based in the old railway quarter of Haro, It is a fine old bodega, with its own cooperage. Indeed, we believe Muga is making some of the very best Rioja available today.
Half bottle of The Society's Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine sur Lie 2023
Crisp and refreshing in the new vintage, with Muscadet's typical saline note that makes it such a good match for seafood and especially shellfish. This wine has been sourced for nearly 40 years from the impeccable family firm of Chéreau-Carré. Just before the river Loire spills into the Atlantic, it is joined by the Sèvre and Maine rivers. The vineyards around their confluence produce the best Muscadet, whose distinctive tangy flavour is enhanced by prolonged contact with the yeast lees produced during fermentation (sur Lie).
Half bottle of Soave, Pieropan 2023
Standard-bearing Soave Classico from one of the region's most prestigious producers. This has an alluring white-flower bouquet, and blanched almonds and citrus peel on the palate. Vivid acidity and a persistent, mineral finish make this an always-refreshing and uplifting wine.
Half bottle of Riesling Classic, Famille Hugel 2022
This dry riesling is sourced from grapes around the picturesque Alsace town of Riquewihr. 2022 was a warm vintage and there is a richness to the wine, but there is a crisp and refreshing acidity and attractive pithiness that provides fantastic structure. Subtle red-apple, jasmine and citrus fruit all come through in the glass.
Half bottle of Bleasdale Bremerview Langhorne Creek Shiraz 2022
Plush, pure and vibrant Australian shiraz with rich red and blackberry-fruit notes, and a hint of violets and cassis. The palate is juicy and succulent with ripe tannins and a long, fruity, generous finish.
Half bottle of The Society's Sicilian Reserve Red 2020
Produced for us from nero d'Avola grapes grown in the Ragusa and Agrigento regions of Sicily. Here the Mediterranean climate, tempered by a cooling coastal breeze, produces full-bodied red wines. Partly aged in French-oak barrels, this juicy raspberry and cherry-scented wine has a rounded mocha finish.
Half bottle of Cotes du Rhone Rouge Guigal 2021
The lockdown vintage was marked by fine weather with hardly a drop of rain and cool summer nights which allowed the crop to retain freshness. Guigal's syrah-dominated Rhône balances power with bright fruit flavours with a little spice.
Half bottle of Belleruche Côtes-du-Rhône Blanc, Chapoutier 2023
An accessible and juicy wine with blossom, white peach with hints of ginger and white pepper spice. It pairs well with roast chicken, Asian spices or enjoyed solo.
