Château Les Vieux Ormes, Lalande

de Pomerol 2015, France

Lalande de Pomerol has raised its profile in recent years, thanks to the involvemen­t of

the leading families from neighbouri­ng Pomerol. Run by the sixth generation of the Garde family, this property is dominated by the Merlot grape, which was particular­ly ripe in this vintage, giving it generosity and

lushness that is immediatel­y appealing.

Fiano Masseria Altemura, IGT Salento Puglia, 2018, Italy

Said to have been first mentioned by Pliny

the Elder, the Fiano d’Avellino grape is ideally suited to the high temperatur­es in Campania, located in the heel of Italy. This wine has a gorgeous apricot aroma with a refreshing saline and mineral ending, which makes it perfect with

shellfish or even oysters.

£12.50 per bottle | £150 per case

Save £6 Lenton Brae, Southside Chardonnay,

Margaret River West, Australia

Margaret River is my favourite wine region

in Australia and Ed Tomlinson makes full-flavoured wines in his 20-acre vineyard;

this is the quintessen­ce of the perfectly balanced style of a modern Margaret River Chardonnay which can be enjoyed by itself or as an excellent accompanim­ent

to roast chicken.

£16.95 per bottle | £203.40 per case

Save £12

Château Tayet, Cuvée Prestige, Bordeaux Supérieur 2016, France

A delightful, straightfo­rward claret grown

adjacent to the prestigiou­s Margaux appellatio­n. A classic blend of Bordeaux varieties, including a splash of Petit Verdot, aged for 12 months in French oak barrels for added complexity. Full bodied without being heavy or cloying, it punches above

its weight, offering exceptiona­l value.

£13.95 per bottle | £167.40 per case

Badilante, Podere 414, Simone Castelli 2018, Italy

Produced by local legend Castelli in Maremma, Southern Tuscany. Predominan­tly relying on the Sangiovese grape, more famous for its use in Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino. The tell-tale cherry flavours and a tarry ripeness makes this perfect with meaty pasta dishes. As Castelli says, “our wine is just

like us: imperfect, but generous.”

£11.70 per bottle | £140.40 per case

Bourgogne Chardonnay, Seguin Manuel 2016, France

Grown close to Meursault, is this classic lean and stylish wine, with addictive mineral and citric undertones and a focus as sharp as a Leica lens. Half an hour in the glass allows its honey-like backbone to unfurl, and when

it does, you will marvel at this brilliantl­y sophistica­ted white Burgundy - at a fraction

of the price of more famous names.
