Billecart Salmon, Blanc de Blanc Grand Cru NV
Regular price £79.20 Save £-79.20ABOUT THE WINE
A brand synonymous with some of the finest restaurants around the world, Billecart-Salmon is located in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and has been family owned since 1818. Made by the same cellar master for nearly 30 years, this cuvée is a blend of two different years revealing the special quality of the Chardonnay.
TASTING NOTES
Creamy lemon meringue with marzipan, lime custard and yeasty sourdough bread, layered with apricots and nectarines. An exquisitely complex Blanc de Blanc following 5 years on the lees.
FOOD PAIRING
The ultimate pairing would be caviar with blini and soured cream, but butter-seared scallops are exceptional with the toasty character of this Blanc de Blanc.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
Did you know that among Champagnes as prestigious as Krug & Dom Pérignon, a bottle of Billecart-Salmon was chosen as the Champagne of the Millennium in 1999?

2014 Domaine Antonin Guyon, Aloxe Corton 1er Cru 'Les Fournieres'
Regular price £66.40 Save £-66.40ABOUT THE WINE
The second generation now manages this domaine, founded by Antonin in the 1960s. Based in Savigny-les-Beaune, they own vines throughout the Cote d'Or, including parcels in some of the finest Premier and Grand cru vineyards. Harvest is by hand, with initial sorting in the vineyard; no more than 50% new oak is used, and the wines of the domaine have a classic freshness and purity to them.
TASTING NOTES
Delicate in colour, with wonderful minerality and fine tannins. Bright cherry fruit, very intense, with a touch of oak adding elegance. Exceptionally well-balanced.
FOOD PAIRING
Ideal very slightly chilled, with summer salads; or with pork dishes on colder evenings.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
A superb vintage for Burgundy, the 2014 Guyon is a delightful wine.
