Exploring & Tasting Wine: Session Two (Six-Bottle Mixed Case)

Carefully selected by Mark Pardoe MW, these six wines are designed to see you through the second part of our introductory wine course, detailed in our Wine School’s book, Exploring & Tasting Wine: A wine course with digressions.

The second session focuses on three white grapes: Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Sémillon. The wines in the accompanying case have been chosen to display the different styles made with these varieties – from exuberant New World styles to more restrained Old World bottles and a wine to show the lusciously sweet touch of noble rot.

Each case contains one bottle (75cl) of each of the following:

2015 Berry Bros. & Rudd New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc by Churton Wines, Marlborough
2013 Pouilly-Fumé, La Rambarde, Domaine Landrat-Guyollot, Loire
2015 Pouilly- Fuissé, Vieilles Vignes de Solutré, Domaine des Gerbeaux, Burgundy
2014 Au Bon Climat Wild Boy Chardonnay, Santa Barbara County, California, USA
2013 La Sémillante de Sigalas, Ch. Sigalas Rabaud, Bordeaux
2002 Ch. Coutet, Barsac, Bordeaux
