    Tom Doorley - Spotlight on the Loire Valley

    CHÂTEAU DE COULAINE CHINON BLANC SINOPLE, 2020

    "Red apple and toasted hazelnuts with a distinct mineral streak running through it. Chenin Blanc being fabulous. Organic, pretty much since 14th century."

      

     

    CHÂTEAU DE COULAINE CHINON ROUGE, 2021

    "Seductively fragrant, a touch of ripe raspberry, very pure and clean, and soft enough to be enjoyed cool."

       

     

    BONNAVENTURE CHÂTEAU DE COULAINE CHINON ROUGE, 2019

    "As ripe and round as Chinon gets. Red fruits, a touch of spice (cinnamon) and herbs."

       

     

    DOMAINE DELAPORTE SANCERRE SILEX BLANC, 2020

    "Sancerre with a difference, grown on slate (silex) with brilliantly clear minerality."

       

     

    DOMAINE DELAPORTE SANCERRE SILEX ROUGE, 2020

    "Heavenly cool climate 100 per cent Pinot Noir. Baked fruits of the forest and a touch of rosehips."
