53 Pouilly Fuisse 2005, Domaine Paquet, Burgundy £32,00

(Broad of fragrant with hints of honey and hazelnuts, good weight on the palate, round and layered with ripe honeyed fruits. Well integrated oak flavours balanced with nice acidity. A very well made win.)

(Domaine Luce Chevalier, Beaujolais)

115 Sancerre Rouge 2005, Vincent Pinard, Loire Valley, France £29,50

(The Loire Valley isn't usually the first stop in the quest for rated Pinot Noir, with most people taking the white Sancerre as their first option rather than a red or rose. But whether you are trying this elegant red, you will find a style that is packed full of dark cherry fruits and incredibly well balanced - tried blind, I would wager many would say that it came from Burgundy!)

152 Chateau Musar 1998, Lebanon £38,00

(Gaston Hochard)

153 Vacqueyras 2004, Domaine de La Charbonniere, Rhone Valley £35,50

(Rich, round, winning but already quite evolved nose.Intenly herbal. Very lively with a really flirtatious kick of acidity with no sacrifice of fruit. Already almost drinkable there is so much ripe fruit, but underneath it all is a convincing structure)

154 Chateau la Tourette 1999, France £39,00

(This is a Wine to Be Try, Recommended and Highly Rated, Their Vintage 1995 Came Only Second After a Blind Tasting after The Well Known"Mouton Rothschild", Paulliac, Bordeaux)

155 Chateau Orisse du Casse 2002, Saint Emilion Grand Cru £43.50

(An opaque purple colour is accompanied by aromas of blackberries, cassis, smoke, espreeo, and new wood. Medium to full bodied, dense, ripe, and moderately structured, this wine displays a purity of Merlot rich fruit character, with depth of flavour on the finish that we've come to expect from this estate.)

156 Cote Rotie, 2001, France £45,00

(Domaine Bonnefond, Rhone Valley)

159 Chateau Leoville Barton, 1989, France £115,00

(2nd Cru Classe, St.Julien, Bordeaux)

160 Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou, 1978, France £130,00

(2nd Cru Classe, St.Julien, Bordeaux)

Chateau Branaire-Ducru 1979, 4th Cru Classe, St-Julien, Bordeaux £77,50

(The vineyards of this chateau are situated further inland than those of Beychevelle and Ducru-Beaucaillou. The soil has more clay and Iron-pan, thus the wine is fuller and can be assertive, although never austere. It is matured in wood for 18 months, with up to 50 per cent new oak, and is remarkably consistent. This wine has a distinctive bouquet that sets it apart from other Pauillac. It is quite full-bodied, richly flavoured and can show a certain chocolate character in big years. Only 23000 cases were produced, here is one of few bottles left. Enjoy it ...)

Hospices de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru Cuvee"Rousseau-Deslande" 2001 £49.50

(Hospices de Baune is one of the most famous and recognizable buildings in the world of wine. It is located in the centre of Beaune, the economic capital of the Burgundy wine trade. Nicolas Rolin the chancellor and duke of the Duchy of Burgundy founded it in 1443 as a charitable hospital to cater to the needy. Since then, many rich Burgundians including Begerze de Lanlay, Dr Loppin, Dr Peste, and Guigogne-de-Salin bequeathed the foundation some of the finest vineyards of the region, Every year, on the third Sunday of November the new wines of Hospices de Baune's 45 vineyards ( cuvee ) are auctioned - a tradition started in 1851 to support the foundation. Annually, pending on the size of vintage 700-1000 barrels ( 225 litres ), are auctioned. Most bidders are Burgundy shippers and prices paid are an economic barometer for that vintage's quality and potential value. Prior to the auction each potential bidder is given a card recording the wines offered. Tasters use tastevins to evaluate. Each cuvee is poured by a server stationed in front of the lot. The samples are spat into a spittoon on the floor if you can reach it. Burgundy shippers and winemakers wear old and tatty raincoats for the occasion! They know how accurately new tasters spit! Participants make their brief notes about Savigny-Les-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses, Auxey-Duresses, Monthelie. Volnay, Beaune, Pommard, Corton and Mazis-Chambertin cuvees. All are red.)
