Baron Eugène Haussmann Bordeaux Blanc 2014

One of my favourites whites I've had anywhere. Stoney peaches and light smokey lime, perfect for a cool clear evening with three new cheeses, salad and bread of the tradition varieté.

La Croix l'Abbé Haut Poitou Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Cool days and nights in Paris, with smatterings of rain splatter. This white is warming, lots of tart lime. Stunningly delicious. Around 5€ at Franprix.

Les Parcelles de Stephane Derenoncourt Bordeaux 2012

A dark ruby Bordeaux that gives off wet leather, wet leaf pile and wet leather  Tastes like stewed tomatoes and hot blueberries, pretty acidic. Leathery. Great with the brillat savarin and roche montaigne blue cheese and bread and mixed greens on our second night back in Paris for a six weeker. 5€40 at Franprix. 

Domaine Castan

La dernière! Pour l'instant.

Fruity. Tart.

Maullin Péchaud Bordeaux 2009

Quietly invigorating.
