I N T RO D U C T I O N
The wine list at Core by Clare Smyth embraces everything Clare and the team love
about wine from old, fine and rare to young, new and exciting. Our cellar is home to
wines that are already firm favourites, vintages to return to time and time again as well
as a host of fresh discoveries waiting to be tried; an authentic reflection on the wine
world today.
Our team are entirely dedicated to exceptional wine and hope to offer a list that excites
every palette. We are proud of the depth that has been meticulously built into the
collection, matching Core’s food and service with our shared dedication to excellence.
We appreciate the uniqueness of every bottle and wish to commend the hard work
of their production. We strive to do justice to all those involved from the growers, to
the winemakers and the barrel crafters. Many dedicated hands were responsible in
bringing these wines to our door, and to your table.
To see the vineyards, feel the soil, taste the grapes, and talk to the producers – this
is something you can’t find in wine books. We travel regularly to wine regions and as
sommeliers, we are the connection between the winemaker and the consumer. Each
opportunity for our guests to experience the provenance of individual wines fuels our
enthusiasm and gives us the chance to share our passion for wine.
We love an inspiring quote, and sometimes a drawing can speak volumes where words
can confuse. We have quite a comprehensive list, but we hope that you find it pretty
easy to navigate and hard to put down.
We aim to provide the highest level of service but without the pretence. We want you to
have fun, and we want to make it personal, tailored to you and your time with us.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know your Cabernet from your Carignan. In fact, that’s
even more exciting for us because we then get to act as your guide and hopefully
share something new.

CO R E W I N E PA I R I N G
Working closely with the kitchen team, our sommeliers have carefully selected
the following wines to be paired.
C O R E C L A S S I C S
2018 Assyrtiko Cuvee Monsignori, Estate Argyros, Santorini Greece
Estate Argyros has been established in 1903, but the Argyros family has been involved in wine production for
decades before that. It is the largest private owner of vineyards in Santorini.
2018 Chardonnay Ava Marie, Restless River, South Africa
Restless River’s Chardonnay vineyards are some of the oldest in the cool-climate Hemel-en-Aarde
valley. Tiny yields and long, slow maturation produces some extraordinarily concentrated fruit.
2018 Savennières Les Vieux Clos, Nicolas Joly, Loire Valley France
Planted in the 12th century by the Cistercian monks, the domaine experienced successive owners and
much renown until it was bought by the Joly family in 1962. Nicolas Joly only took over the estate in 1977.
2012 Monthélie Rouge, Domaine Fanny Sabre, Burgundy France
Fanny Sabre makes wines in a very natural manner, which is not surprising
when you consider that she learned her trade from Philippe Pacalet.
2006 Château Giscours, 3ème Grand Cru Classé, Margaux Bordeaux
Giscours’s wine is typically a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and
5% Cabernet Franc. The grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled tanks and
the wine is then aged in small oak barrels (30-40% new) for 18 months
2017 Jurançon Moelleux, Domaine de Souch, South West France
When she lost her husband at 60 years old, Yvonne decided to fulfil their
life dream of planting a vineyard around their house.

The 26ha of Domaine de Villaine are centred in Bouzeron an area first planted to the vine by the

the poor soils and limestone-rich slopes are reserved for Bouzeron’s speciality, Aligote

Giscours’s wine is typically a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and

We love our Champagne at Core. Quite simply, because Champagne continues to
be the envy of the world’s sparkling wine producers. Ok, so Champagne sales have
taken a hit from Prosecco recently, while English sparkling wine producers are rightly
shouting about their usefully high acidity levels as the Champagne region warms
up. But Champagne still rules, especially when it comes to ageing. That said, the big
Champagne houses are being challenged by a new wave of producers who prefer to
wear a pair of jeans than a sharp suit; who might farm organically, and focus on single
vineyard and single grape variety wines. Cue the Champagne grower. The rise of the
grower-producers has revolutionised this generation in the region. Top Champagne
is no longer the exclusive realm of the big players. While single vineyard is the new
vanguard, with deliciously complex cuvées from trailblazing terroiriste growers taking
the wine world by storm.
“I only drink Champagne when I’m happy, and when I’m sad. Sometimes
I drink it when I’m alone. When I have company, I consider it obligatory.
I trifle with it if I am not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise
I never touch it – unless I’m thirsty.” Lily Bollinger

Getting your head around Burgundy’s classification system
Ok, deep breath. There are general appellations, such as Bourgogne Rouge, and
regional appellations, such as Chablis. Village wines come next, naming the best
villages, such as Meursault. Next up is premier cru, the second-best vineyard within
each village – the village comes first on the label, like Meursault-Charmes. Finally,
grands crus, the top wines in Burgundy, from the top vineyards.
“I feel sorry for people who don’t drink. When they wake up in the
morning, that’s as good as they’re going to feel all day.” Frank Sinatra

Talk to any Burgundy buff and it won’t be long before the word ‘terroir’ crops up.
The term, bandied around the wine world, carries so much meaning and weight, and
refers to all the natural elements – the geography, the geology and the climate, which
together with the winemakers’ skills creates a unique vintage. But just when you’ve
got your head around that, up pops the word ‘climat’, which is unique to the wines
of Burgundy. Climat is a precisely delineated vine plot, with its own microclimate,
and specific geological condition, shaped by human cultivation over centuries. The
Gallo-Romans grew vines here. In the Middle Ages, monks carved up their vineyards
into tiny patches, marking their boundaries with dry-stone walls. Along the Côte de
Nuits and the Côte de Beaune, home of the greatest Burgundies, there are more than
1,200 such sites, clustered around villages, methods passed down from generation
to generation – and this, in a nutshell, is what makes Burgundy so special.
“Nothing makes the future look so rosy as to contemplate
it through a glass of Chambertin.”
Napoleon Bonaparte

fundamental stylistic shifts in the region’s wines over the last few decades. Thanks go
in part to the simultaneous rise of the consultant and the wine critic (we’re thinking
of you, Michel Rolland and Robert Parker Jr). Their influence was – still is – massive,
prompting an opulence in the wines not seen before. Who cares how these new super-
ripe wines age? Not the public, certainly, who don’t want to wait three decades to
drink it. Yes, the region still lives and dies by the 1855 classification that ranks its top
properties, but nearly everyone not at the top thinks this is now past its expiration date.
And there’s a growing number of earnest producers making laudable wines at artisan
level, who are now farming with an eye on organics, and who revere the freshness and
integrity that once made ‘claret’, as us Brits like to call it, so beloved.
“I can certainly see that you know your wine. Most of the guests who stay
here wouldn’t know the difference between Bordeaux and Claret”

Did you know that there are vineyards along virtually the entire length of the Rhône
River, from its source in the Swiss Alps to its mouth near Marseilles? The variety of
wines is staggering, unsurprisingly. In wine terms, the valley is split into the northern
and southern Rhône. The vineyards in the north, some of the oldest in France, are
etched into the mountainside on narrow terraces at dizzying gradients, with the great
majority of wine being made from the Syrah grape. The region’s most famous wines
are the deep-flavoured, long-lived reds of Hermitage and the generally more fragrant
and delicate Côte-Rôtie. The southern Rhône, meanwhile, is more user-friendly (more
boozy, too – we’re looking at you, Châteauneuf-du-Pape). You can thank the openly
fruity character of the Grenache grape, which rules here. And the change in scenery –
it’s the gateway to Provence, think olive trees, lavender and cicadas.
