2008 En Primeur (FRANCE/BORDEAUX)

2008 Bordeaux red
The Wines of Francois Mitjavile 2008 Vintage: Opening Prices Tertre Roteboeuf & Roc de Cambes & Domaine de Cambes At the time of sending this offer Mark Savage is still in Bordeaux making his final rounds prior to sending out his full 2008 report. However, some wines are already on his list with, perhaps unsurprisingly given their track record for quality, Tertre Roteboeuf, Roc de Cambes and Domaine de Cambes being writ in tablets of stone. Much like the previous vintage, the 2008 harvest was relatively small at these estates. The yields were down to roughly 74% of the 2007 harvest which itself was significantly lower than had been hoped. Nonetheless, in spite of the very small crop in both vineyards and the consequently high cost of production, prices in real terms have been maintained at the same level as 2007 and indeed as 2006. The effect of the weak pound against the euro is, of course, another matter. Accordingly, we are pleased to offer you the following: Tertre Roteboeuf : Ł980 per doz / Ł490 half doz in bond Roc de Cambes: Ł330 per doz / Ł165 half doz in bond Domaine de Cambes : Ł220 per doz in bond

Pidault, Jean-Marc (FRANCE/BURGUNDY: MÂCONNAIS)

2007 Macon Pierreclos white
I have been waiting for an opportunity to buy from this intelligent young grower since spending a day with him some years back when he was just getting started. I sensed that he was a man to watch. His basic Macon from Pierreclos sees no oak. It is fine, with elegance and natural balance, the sort of affordable and thoroughly satisfying white burgundy that is always in justifiably high demand from regular wine drinkers, whatever the current state of fashion with regard to chardonnay.

Vincenzo Toffoli (ITALY/VENETO)

2007 Prosecco Brut Spumante, DOC sparkling
A glass or two of this delicious light, sparkling wine is the perfect way to celebrate the long awaited arrival of spring. Vincenzo Toffoli works the family’s vines in Refrontolo in the Veneto region. His prosecco is arguably some of the finest that we have ever tasted. The wine is lightly sparkling rather than gassy and is certainly not trying to be a cheap, imitation Champagne. It stands on its own merits and has both a purity and length of finish that makes it ideal as an aperitif or, as I prefer, an indulgent way to sit back in the springtime garden and enjoy watching someone else mowing the lawn ! What better reason for popping the corks ?
