The
vineyards of the Dordogne can produce some of the most attractive wines in
France. Serge Dubard’s Domaine du Gouyat
needs little introduction to those of you who are existing customers: the crisp
gooseberry flavours of his white puts many a more
expensive wine to shame A
blend of 50% Sauvignon and 50% Sémillon.

Serge Dubard’s
Domaine du Gouyat rouge has wonderful fruit and is as good value wine as any
on the entire list.
His benchmark barrique-aged Gouyat has in recent
years won a coup de coeur in the
Guide Hachette - France’s highest wine
accolade. The Pécharment is a brooding monster for laying down and
the
Château Laulerie Montravel also a big beast from an appellation that only
came into being with the 2001 vintage.

Quite, quite
delicious and dangerously addictive, this wine - the
breathtaking
colour of
rosy-fingered dawn - is bone-dry and the antithesis of bland
commercial rosés. Possibly
the finest all round rosé in the world.
