877. Domaine des Forges, Côteaux du Layon Chaume, 2010
For this round of sweet wines, I finally completed the Domaine des Forges set – and with the exam Côteaux du Layon. The quality …
860. Domaine FL, Chamboureau Savennières-Chenin, 2009
Put this initially in a neutrals line-up, and it stood out as clearly semi-aromatic, so put it in that line-up too. Despite being 2 …
854. Domaine de l’Ecu, Gneiss Muscadet Sèvre et Maine, 2013

850. Xavier & Thierry Amirault, Le Clos des Quarterons St Nicolas de Bourgueil, 2012

745. Lamé Delisle Boucard, Domaine des Chesnaies Bourgueil Cuvée Vieilles Vignes, 2009
Nice gift from Huw. Just a shame the palate didn’t quite match up to the attractive and quite classic Cabernet Franc nose. Deep ruby …
741. Domaine des Baumard, Savennières Trie Spéciale, 2000
An unexpected spot at The 10 Cases, Covent Garden this. I didn’t know Baumard did a dry Savennières at all, so to find a …
