Clarets

Red Bordeaux continues to be popular and the range keeps expanding.  I now buy from a small shipper who lives locally and holds some stocks nearby. 

These include

• Mon Plaisir de Roque de Jeanlice a young and juicy everday wine at only £9 or £50 for 6  ( Ch de Roque's owners are Jean-Jacque and Alice hence Jeanlice - How sweet!)
• Ch le Grande Moulin from Blaye, a little commune accross the river from Pouillac.  This is a bold little chap with pleasantly firm oak. Good value at £12
• At £15 or 6 for £80 Clos Magne Figneac is a great example of Saint Emilion at a really sensible price.

There are normally another 10 or so Clarets in stock to suit all tastes and pockets.  Many have rolled on a vintage since Christmas but I am pleased to say that there are now decent stocks of Fourcas Dupre 1999 in bond in Tilbury Docks, so that should be available for a while yet.

New range of German Wines.
