Virgin on value
CHAMPAGNE
Vilmart, Grand Reserve NV Champagne 16.5 Drink 2009-11
Impressive yeast, cream, toast and sherbet fruitiness. Crisp and appley on the palate. Moderate intensity, nicely balanced. 12.5% (RH)
£22.99 (£18.99 during May) Virgin Wines
WHITE
Java, Blanc 2007 Vin de Pays des Côtes de Gascogne 15.5 Drink 2009
Neutral fruit, a bit like tropical citrus, I suppose. Bit of creamy malo character to flesh it out. Nothing wrong with this. Except the price, perhaps. 11.5% (RH)
£6.99 (£6.49 during May)...
