The Guibert’s Mas de Daumas Gassac is one of the iconic estates of southern France. We’re very proud to have championed their wines since the earliest days, prior to the family’s fame. As a thank you, they make this charming white exclusively for our customers – and at a very affordable price.
Their wine story started in 1970 when Aimé and Véronique Guibert bought a chunk of the sleepy Gassac valley. Their friend and geology professor Henri Enjalbert noticed how the soils resembled those in Burgundy’s Côte d’Or and the estate now produces cuvées that cost well over £100. The Guiberts’ son Samuel created our exclusive Réserve using a rare blend of grapes and the same care that goes into his most expensive wines. Complex, weighty, fresh too.
Delicious depth and richness with real freshness give this Bordeaux white perfect balance. It’s a collaboration between our award-winning winemaker Jean-Marc Sauboua and owner of Château Le Coin Ludovic Roussillon.
The key ingredient is Sauvignon – Gris that is, not Blanc – which combines spicy richness and lime freshness. All the grapes are tended at Ludovic’s superb estate in the Entre-Deux-Mers, just over the river from Le Chai au Quai, our winemaking HQ in Castillon.
His claret is always a hit and nine years ago we persuaded him to make us a white too. The limestone soils help to produce lovely fruit intensity, while old-vine grapes and a tiny portion of oak fermentation lends even more richness. Great solo or with a creamy gratin.
One of Le Chai's most prized whites, La Voûte is the team work of winemaker Mark Hoddy and a meticulous grower in the Limoux, Bruno Bouché. Mark's aim with this wine is to make a rich, yet mineral-fresh Burgundy-style wine at an affordable price.
He knows exactly where to source the best grapes each vintage – Bruno Bouché's Astruc vineyard in Limoux Océanique, where the vines, planted at 300 metres, benefit from both the cooling Atlantic and the warmth of the Med. It results in intense ripe fruit with excellent freshness. After careful pressing the juice is put into new barrels to ferment slowly. A further year’s ageing in oak, with lees stirring, lends a creamy texture to the peachy lemon fruit. Serve cool with creamy sauced chicken.
