One of the best wines I have tasted recently is Berry Brothers’ Extra Ordinary White. On sale at just over a tenner a bottle, it works out at around two quid a glass. Which is what one of Wordsworth’s classics cost. But even they can’t take you to the places this White Bordeaux can. Perfect for numbing the pain. Get some now – before Fred Goodwin buys the vineyard.”
(Michael Gove – The Times – March 09)
Another classic Graves blend from Jean-Michel Cazes, this time of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon – and it’s elegant, aromatic and irresistible! It has a fragrant grassy nose and a lively palate of fresh zingy fruit followed by a rich, creamy lemon finish. This quintessential white Bordeaux is utterly delicious as an aperitif or with fish, crustacea, poultry and asparagus.
(Simon Staples - BBR Fine Wine Director)
"More than the sum of its parts, this is as distinctively lemony as a lemon meringue pie, with a creamy texture, and oak (the wine is aged for 12-15 months in barrel) that is obviously present but doesn't smarm all over it in the manner of a fat advertising executive who thinks everyone should laugh at his jokes. Thank goodness."
