Our wine guru selects the best bottle for you

Bouvet Ladubay Saphir 2018, Brut, Saumur, £13.63, Lay & Wheeler

This sublime sparkler is dry, fruity and refreshing, with a creamy texture, gentle aromas of baked apple with nice citrusy notes.

Famille Perrin Close Encounters Châteauneuf-dupape 2018, £20, Co-op

A stunning wine; a rhapsody of silky black fruits with herbaceous, sweet spicy note and lustrous, long finish.

Château Barreyres Haut-médoc 2017, Bordeaux, £13, Sainsbury’s

Fragrant aromatics, bags of plush, dark ripe fruits, cassis, violet, touch of cedar and harmonious finish. Very enjoyable.

Louis Latour Pouilly-vinzelles En Paradis Burgundy 2018, £22.99, Flagship Wines

Exotic stone fruit aromas, lovely core of pineapple and apricots, with a brioche richness.
