French White Wine

Crisp, gently saline and textured with luscious stone fruit flavours and a hit of exotic spice. Plenty going on here, with quite a sophisticated flourish for this level.

Vermentino, known also as Rolle, is widely grown in southern France and Italy. Reminiscent of sauvignon, with its crisp freshness and bright citrus and green apple fruit.

A fine expression of viognier - more in the pristine, floral camp than the honeyed, opulent style.

A very moreish style of sauvignon - not as green and herbaceous as some, with ripe, tropical fruit more to the fore here. Has the hallmark zippy citrus freshness.

For when you fancy the fruit, finesse and delicacy of Sancerre but not the budget, Bellevue offers spectacular value for money.

A blend of unoaked chardonnay and viognier grapes that is increasingly popular in the Languedoc. Superb with grilled fish.

From their glorious 200-acre estate just SE of Bordeaux, a refreshing, classic blend of (mostly) sauvignon blanc/sémillon that is crisp, fruity and alarmingly easy to drink.

An exquisite expression of Pinot Blanc from the Riquewihr environs of Alsace; 4 months non lees; aged in stailess steel for freshness and depth of flavour.

Made from 100-year-old vines, hand picked and aged on lees for more body and character than found in most Muscadets.

Domaine Talmard’s Mâcon-Chardonnay hails from the fine 2022 vintage, sees no oak, and simply oozes with Talmard class.

Picpoul de Pinet has become one of summer's most fashionable light white wines and Bruno Lafon's and Francois Chamboissier's is one of the very best.

Dopff's riesling is very classic, dry, and pristine with crisp, green apple and vibrant citrus. Perfect aperitif or with seafood in the autumn.

This is not a sparkler in the classic sense but a modern white wine where invigorating effervescence gives way to summery aromas and flavours of white flower and orchard fruit.

An classic blend of viognier, grenache blanc and clairette and fabulous with grilled chicken/fish. A supreme alternative to white Burgundy that often offers superior value-for-money.

A classic example of Alsace gewürztraminer - aromatic, spicy and off-dry. Perfumed on the nose, with lychee, stone fruit and subtle spice on the finish.

Beautiful, traditionally made white burgundy made by 5th generation members of the Gonon family at the foot of the great limestone escarpment Solutré that dominates Pouilly Fuissé.

This unoaked, dry white wine has a bouquet of citrus, exotic fruit and white flowers, demonstrating the potential of Chardonnay for finesse and complexity.

A lovely off-dry white wine which is well balanced with a refreshing acidity. A rich yellow in colour, with a nose of smoky notes and dried fruit.

A lovely, light golden shimmer in the glass, with vibrant aromas and stone-fruit. The palate follows suit with ripe exotic stone-fruit, citrus and an elegant, herbaceous, almost spicy edge and ...

Good Vouvray from the north of the Loire by Tours is one of France's hidden jewels, and one of our favourite white wines. Bernard Fouquet's fabulous Vouvray, grown on vines ...

Our number one selling white wine. Truly delicious white burgundy from the Rousset family and quite extraordinary good value.

Gorgeously rich, full-bodied on the palate with balanced length that is freshened with a final lick of brisk, elegant, invigorating acidity.

The 2022 Saint-Véran is a beautifully pure looking wine in the glass, with delicate floral aromas, a hint of peach, pear and honeysuckle.
