Featured Wines
Louis Jadot is a name synonymous with Burgundy but their expertise and winemaking also stretches south into Beaujolais where this gorgeous fruit bomb comes from.
Made from 100% Gamay, the grapes for this special cuvée come mainly from the regions of Lantigne, Lancie and Regnié where the best Beaujolais Villages are located, on granite soils. Amongst the 22,000 ha of vineyards planted in the Beaujolais region (south of Burgundy) about 6,000 ha use the name Beaujolais Villages A.O.C. - they are the intermediary between the straight Beaujolais and the 10 Crus.
At just £13.50 this bottle delivers shedloads of fruit, with a nose of crushed summer berries like strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and flecks of red cherry, fig and some rosemary and menthol. The aromas are so inviting!
On the palate there are flecks of clove and cinnamon, red & black cherry, filigree tannins and tons of acid-driven freshness on a persistent finish. This is a brilliant house red, with oodles of flavour without ever being unbalanced. I enjoy serving this with my (very secret recipe) Spaghetti Bolognese, though it has also worked well with tomato tarts, duck breast, and moussaka. Highly recommended.
Michel Chapoutier is one of the world’s leading experts on biodynamic viticulture, with everything he knows put into practice across Chapoutier’s world famous vineyards in the Rhône, Alsace and Roussillon. Bila Haut blanc is a triumph of white wine making and at £12.50 knocks spots off most comparably priced bottles.
The Roussillon area was made for Michel Chapoutier and it was in Latour de France that he set up Domaine de Bila-Haut, on a combination of soils, basked in the southern French sun and freshened up by the coastal ‘tramontane’ wind. Black and brown schist give the wine the sunny ripeness, gneiss minerality and freshness and limestone and chalk strength and balance.
I love just how many aromas and flavours are packed into this £12.50 bottle of French white wine, with crushed rock minerality on the nose, white peach, citrus fruit, grapefruit, and flecks of flinty smoke. The palate is unctuously ripe, with peach & apricot, citrus fruits and some spice too, making this perfect for food: I love it with spicier dishes, where the higher alcohol and spice level can stand up to spicier foods. This is a gorgeous white wine that is well worth a try.
Easily one of the finest Chardonnays you’ll ever taste under £50 which knocks spots of Burgundy bottles five times the price. The recipient of a dizzying array of awards from 96 points with ‘The Wine advocate' (scores usually associated with wines costing well over £100) and an outstanding ‘Platinum: Best in Show’ medal at the most recent Decanter World Wine awards, this is one not to miss.
The very apex of what Villa Maria do at the top of the tree, this is a gorgeous white wine, with a nose of white nectarine, flint and toast, plus baked lemon. The palate is voluptuous with ripe white and yellow fruits, plus floral hues, simultaneously crystalline in structure and deliciously racy in its acidity. The finish is sublime.
This is a stunning white wine: the ideal dinner party white to get your guests talking.

Founded in 1879, Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España or CVNE is known for making truly exceptional wines that stand the test of time.

Across a remarkable evening we’ll try ten different wines from their cellars, including a special line-up of their world famous Imperial Gran Reserva, with five vintages going back to 1988, served side-by-side.
One of the most sought-after reservations on the London foodie scene since its takeover and renovation in late 2023, The Parakeet in Kentish Town has been recognised by the Michelin Guide for its outstanding food. In their upstairs room we’ll enjoy a special menu crafted for these magical wines.
