Crisp and fresh Sauvignons, smooth and rounded Chardonnays, peachy Viognier, a fruity and 'très gluggé' Colombard, scintillating Sauvignon and Semillon blends, and a brimful of bucolic Terret grapes in the 'Orangerie Blanc' ... a vinous rainbow to captivate the palate.

Madame Defarge’s favourite apéritif before a soirée of guillotine gloating!
Somewhat lean and sharp, ‘mais parfait avec les moules!’ |

| This is not cheapie acid rain Sauvignon, the duodenal ulcer stabbing style one drinks in the Calais bars and even restaurants – this is a refreshing and inspiring shower of pure citric fruit energy…Gene Kelly style! So fling the umbrellas away and palate zing and tootsie tingle down Broadway! |

| Chardonnay de Château Pennautier 2007 | 3.95 |
| Edith Piaf's favourite gargle after a rendition of 'Je ne regrette rien!' Lots of smooth and honeyed flavours. We've compared this wine with a few white Macons and it really does represent superb value for Chardonnay lovers. |
