Ridgeview Bloomsbury NV
Ridgeview wines history began in 1995, when Mike and Chris Roberts decided to realise a dream. With a love of England and a passion for wine, they started to figure out the type of wine production they felt would give the best in the cool climate of Southern England. The traditional method sparkling wine made from the three classic varieties - Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier- was the most suitable. At the time, sparkling wine production in England was largely unexplored and unproven so the dream to create world class sparkling wine in Sussex was a certainly a risk. At the base of the beautiful South Downs with their chalky soils, with the perfect site, the journey began.
After more than 20 years the production has increased to more than a quarter million bottles and Ridgeview is sold all over the world and in 2010 it has been awarded "Best Sparkling wine in the world" from Decanter.
Chateau de Santenay 'En Vesvau Saint Aubin 2018
Although it's tucked between the two prestigious 'Montrachet' villages of Chassagne and Puligny, you can still find great value in Saint-Aubin. And it has its own fantastic reputation for fine, steely Chardonnay. This is made on a small 4-hectare vineyard there. It has notes of apricot, citrus and vanilla. Serve this lightly chilled with sea bass.Reserve d'Angludet AOC Margaux 2016
The result of a legendary year, this wine is the expression of its exceptional terroir – elegant and charming! Deeply coloured, still deep purple at rim, with a richly layered bouquet that marries jammy fruit – blackcurrant and blackberry –with the toasty, vanilla notes of the barrel. The dense, warming palate is refined throughout, with an elegant tannic structure resulting from its distinguished terroir, as well as from a perfectly controlled winemaking process.
