Muscadet
de Sevre et Maine, Cuvée Chéreau
Entry level Muscadet with a touch of class added by its maker Bernard Chereau.
A benchmark for what Muscadet should be; light but crisp and full of fruit so
the dryness complements the flavour but does not dominate it. |

Sauvignon
de Touraine, Chéreau Carré
Crisp, fruity Sauvignon with a clean, fresh flavour. Despite the euro exchange rate,
this lively wine offers Sauvignon Blanc of real value. |

Vouvray
Demi Sec, Chéreau Carré
Only in the Loire can a wine be produced which is sweet honey and fruit in the
mouth but just off dry. Perfect drinking and yet totally refreshing |

Muscadet
Comte Leloup de Chasseloir, Sur lie,
Chéreau Carré
An outstanding dry white wine, full of fruit and depth of flavour. If it came from Burgundy it would be three times the price. Robert Parker wrote "It represents one of the most remarkable wine values on the planet!" |

Pouilly Fumé, Les Loges
Flinty, concentrated and full of gooseberry fruit. The recent cooler vintages of
this wine have resulted in a classic Sauvignon style. |

Sancerre
Les Cailloux Blancs, Chéreau
Carré
Superb accompaniment to fish, chicken or Brie. Great depth of citrus fruit
flavours, slightly aromatic in the mouth with balancing soft acidity. |

Hugel Le Gentil
This is hugely affordable Alsace made by probably the most famous quality
producer of the region. Very appealing, medium bodied with the weight of fruit
you would expect and a rich complexity in the finish. |

at an attractive price. Excellent with Asian cuisine. |
