www.oscars-mk.co.ukChampagne/ Sparkling Prosecco NV Extra Dry Spumante, Porta Leone, Treviso £7.50/£30 The Ceottos are a notable family producer making benchmark Prosecco Veuve Clicquot NV Brut Yellow Label £15/£80 Bollinger Brut Special £95 Billecart Salmon NV Brut Rose £120 Regarded by many as the finest NV Brut Rose Cuvee of all the Grand Marques 2010 Dom Perignon £200 White Wine 2020 Viognier Domaine Preignes La Vieux, Southern France £6.50/£26 An absolutely authentic Viognier wine, underlying creamy, honeyed orange blossom character 2020 Pinot Grigio del Friuli, Bepe e Luigi Anselmi, Friuli £6.50/£26 Individual Estate, flinty, uplifted Pinot Grigio with refreshing airiness from brothers Luigi & Bepe 2020 Picpoul de Pinet, Domaine Reine Juliette, Languedoc £7.50/£30 Lime fresh, zesty white wine, like a squirt of lemon with fritti misti 2019 Sauvignon de Touraine Domaine Renaudie, Loire £8/£32 Wonderful Sauvignon, great poise and race, as good as most growers’ Sancerre 2020 Albarino Esencia Divina, Adegas Gran Vinum, Galicia £8.50/£34 Matches perfectly the seafood landed on the Atlantic coast of Galicia 2019 Verdicchio des Castelli di Jesi Classico, Les Marches £35 The Sartarellis make the finest Verdicchios, clean, luminous & yet complex & intriguing 2018 Macon Charnay Clos des Tourons, Maconnaise £35 Wonderful husband and wife team making bright, vivacious Southern Burgundy 2019 Gavi di Gavi Vista del Lemme, Tenuta Rocchin, Piedmont £40 All Cortese from the commune of Gavi, sometimes known as ‘The Chablis of Italy’ 2019 Sauvignon Blanc The Awatere River Estate, New Zealand £42 Louis Vavasour is the 2nd generation of one of the founding families of Marlborough 2018 St Veran Domaine Chavet, Burgundy £46 Chardonnay with butterscotch notes over bright, steely fruit
2019 Sancerre Domaine Paul Prieur, Loire £56 Luc Prieur is a fastidious winemaker, the chalkiest, leanest, most pure style here 2016 Rioja Blanco Bodegas Gomez Cruzado, Spain £60 Modern/Traditional style crossover with oak aging but rich, lingering fruit also 2019 Pouilly Fuisse La Roche, Philippe Charmond, Burgundy £62 Buttery, nutty Southern Burgundy that develops on the glass 2019 Chablis 1er Cru Beauregard, Jean Marc Brocard, Burgundy £69 One of the broader valleys of the 1er Crus so a certain richness under the classic Jurassique notes Our Fine Wine White Selection 2002 Gewurztraminer Kaefferkopf, Meyer-Fonné £85 This Gewurztraminer offers complex aromas, ranging from rose to apricot kernel and tropical fruits, together with pepper and sweet spices. Dried fruits and honey also appear. Beautiful golden colour. 2004 Gewürztraminer Brand, Domaine Albert Boxler £85 Intense but restrained in its varietal expression, this is much more than a Gewurztraminer. The granitic soils are so well suited to this variety and a third of this large vineyard are planted with it. This Grand Cru opened up quickly, but its glorious complexity has developed over the years. 2015 Meursault 1er Cru, Martlet Cherisey, Cotes de Beaune £95 Leading Domaine, notable butterscotch Chardonnay with good mineral balance. 2007 Pinot Gris Brand, Domaine Albert Boxler £100 The fragrant bouquet of the wine is very rich, with bright notes of ripe peach, white plum, lychee and oriental spices. Well-structured wine, juicy, full, with a well-defined acidity and fruity after-taste. Aging has given it a glorious deep colour. 2004 Riesling Grand Cru Brand, Domaine Albert Boxler £100 A beautiful golden and clear hue, intense and brilliant, promising a high-level tasting which the first scents quickly confirm. The nose demonstrates a complex, chiselled, refined and feminine wine: the Riesling is there, certainly, but with candied pineapple, white flowers and amber. On the palate, it presents a soft attack without any heaviness because relayed by a subtle acidity and a stony mineral. Wonderful wine. 2010 Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc, Jean-Marc Pillot £120 A village wine from a legendary vintage for white Burgundy. All of the refinement of a 1er Cru at a fraction of the price. Plenty of white fruit and the softness and richness in the mouth that one associates with Chassagne.
2001 Pinot Gris Dorfburg, Meyer-Fonné £120 Smells like honey liquor but it's not nearly that sweet on the palate. The wine shows all that is enjoyable with Alsace Pinot Gris, and is just a bit 'sweeter' than is typical. Nice damp forest floor, floral notes, barnyard, mushrooms, earth. Nothing jumps out and grabs you but everything is solid. Maybe just a tad hot on the finish, but it tastes so good it's hard to notice. 2005 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes, Darviot-Perrin £150 Charmes is one of the Mersault 1er Crus that are Grand Crus in all but name. Aromas of hazelnut, citrus peel and a deft application of wood. The middle weight flavours possess a finer mouth feel though not quite the same mid-palate density while exhibiting slightly better complexity and persistence on the balance finale. Lovely. 2007 St-Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes, Hubert Lamy £250 Gone are the days when St-Aubin had to fight for recognition amongst the whites of Burgundy. This is a marvellous complex wine with buttery vanilla flavours to complement the honey and lime that comes through as it is swilled in the mouth. This is one of the finest St-Aubin’s ever made. If it were made in Puligny-Montrachet just a few miles up the road its price would be trebled. 2008 Meursault Les Tesson, Darviot-Perrin £750 Les Tessons is regarded as one of the lesser 1er Cru vineyards in Mersault but this reflects in its price. In the hands of a top grower like Perrin this translates to superb value for money. Full mouth feel. White fruits and fleshy peach through the mid-palate. Creamy smooth and good length. Superb poise and balance. Very well integrated. Rose Wine 2019 Le Paradis Grenache Rose, Languedoc £7.50/£30 Wonderful, delicate Rose wine from Jerome Vic, a beautifully elegant colour 2020 Miraly Syrah Vermentino Rosato, Montecchiesi, Tuscany £7.50/£30 The first vintage of this wine, most original with the winemaker spending time in Provence to learn 2019 Provence Rose, Chateau St Pierre £39 Classic Provence Rose with its pale orange colour and surprising depth of flavour
Red Wine 2019 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Bajo Abruzzo £6.50/£26 Wood smoke and bitter cherries with an underlying richness from the Redman family 2019 Malbec Casa Juanita, Mendoza £7/£28 Powerful varietal, arguably grown at its best unblended in Argentina. Ideal with charred red meats 2019 Merlot Sangiovese Gran Bruno, Tenuta Castello di Radda £8/£32 A mini Super Tuscan with the Merlot softening and rounding out the more upright Sangiovese 2016 Chateau Agadens Bordeaux Superieur, Bordeaux £10/£39 Modern Bordeaux, Cabernet Merlot cuvee, judicious oak influences and black fruits 2018 Red No. 1 Domaine Pey Blanc, Aux en Provence £10/£39 Modern Provence – Merlot Syrah blend leading to a fleshy garrique style 2014 Rioja Reserva Cuna des Rayas, Rioja £10.50/£42 Extended oak aging, over 18 months and selected cuvees go into this deluxe Rioja cuvee 2019 Pinot Noir The Awatere River Estate, Marlborough, NZ £44 Pure, red stone fruit Pinot from Louis Vavasour, son of the founding family of Marlborough 2009 The Expression Cabernet Shiraz Retief Goosen, South Africa £46 South Africa red wine royalty, well reviewed by Jancis Robinson and up there with SA’s finest 2017 Ripasso delle Valpolicella Tenuta Dal Cero, Veneto £62 Rich, pre aged notes from the juice being passed over the lees of Amarone 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Domaine Cigalons, Southern Rhone £72 A ‘proper’ Chateauneuf, all warm stones and hard herbs from a leading organic maker 2014 Ribeiro del Duero Reserva Bodeags Valtravieso, Spain £82 Old vines, schist soils, Garnacha/Tempranillo blend and one year’s oak aging 2016 Barolo Monteforte d’Alba, Paolo Monti, Piedmont £88 Single vineyard, much lauded wine from this tiny estate 2018 Gevrey Chambertin Croix des Champs, Cotes de Nuits £96 Structured Pinot Noir, elegant and powerful in turns as it develops on the glass 2013 Amarone delle Valpolicella, Tenuta Dal Cero, Veneto £102 Mature version of this famous Venetian speciality made from half dried grapes
Our Fine Wine Red Selection 2008 Château Langoa-Barton, 3me Cru Classé St-Julien £100 For many St-Julien is the finest of the Bordeaux appelations. Full bodied, with some tannins still to be resolved, the wine offers a classic character, with bright, crisp, red berries in the nose and mouth, freshness and a crisp, juicy, earth herbs, and cedar note that adds to the bright cassis. 2010 La Croix de Beaucaillou, St-Julien £100 With fabulous concentration, this is really exciting, concentrated and serious and it holds its own against the truly inspirational Grand Vin. It has such a lovely fresh vibrancy and a great depth that is worthy of a far higher-ranked wine. 2005 Château Cantemerle, Cru Classé Haut-Médoc £120 Ever popular Cru Bourgeois from a good year. With a delicate aroma of flowers, black raspberries, spice and earth, this medium bodied wine is pure elegance. Soft, refined and not for tasters that seek out ripe, powerful wines. 2009 Chateau Grand-Puy Ducasse 5me Cru Classé Pauillac £120 Grand Cru Classe in the fine, fleshy Pauillac style with a cedar and gravel undertow. 2014 Château Gazin, Pomerol £125 Pomerol is a favourite appellation with English wine lovers. This Gazin is luscious, round, supple textured, ripe, sweet, dark red fruits, with ripe flavours and a polished, silky finish are found here. This is really nice from start to finish. 2007 Domaine de Chevalier Rouge, Cru Classé Pessac-Léognan £150 Time has been good to this wine. The fresh, red berries, tobacco, cigar box and earth are really shining. Soft, medium bodied and with all its tannins resolved, now is a great time to be enjoying this wine. 2008 Morey-St-Denis 1er Cru, Aux Cheseaux, Domaine Arlaud £150 Morey-St-Denis is an often-overlooked appellation of Burgundy producing fine wines. This is dark red, looking slightly murky. A very mineral driven nose, with lots of rusticity and earth. The characteristics of the vintage shone out, with strong acidity. Fortunately, the fruits back it up ensuring a rather well balanced wine. Palate has a decent structure, with sour cherries, raspberries and game. Perfect with beef. 2009 La Dame de Montrose, St-Estèphe £150 The second wine of one of the leading growers in St-Estèphe. Mature, bright, fresh, earthy, tobacco-stained and with crisp red fruits, the wine is classic in style with a medium-bodied, slightly austere, bright, red fruit and forest leaf profile. The wine has entered its prime time window. 2002 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts, Nicolas Potel £225 Vosne-Romanée is one of the truly great wine growing areas of the world and Potel has a sky-high reputation. This is very good indeed. It has a great nose, full of toasty woody Vosne spices drifting around a core of black cherries and plums, with a toss of savoury meat and earth aromas in there too. The palate has a real muscular strength to it, with a sinewy stream of black cherry fruit lined with firm but fine tannins and bright, juicy acidity. The finish coats the mouth with a blush of bright acidity and chewy tannins. Lots of strength, very solid, with a wonderful depth and breadth to it. Great stuff. 2009 Vosne-Romanée Vieilles Vignes, Maison Roche de Bellene £225 Very dark. At first the nose makes one think of young vintage Port rather than Burgundy. Ripe, bumptious fruit. Really enjoyable. Not overly complex. Acidity just a little low but loads of fun. 2004 Pommard 1er Cru Les Grands Epenots, Domaine de Montille £225 Medium ruby in colour. Nose of strawberries, raspberries, cedar and sous-bois. Dry on the palate but very ripe. The fruit is fresh and accompanied by raw cedar and earthy undertones. The acidity is high but in balance. The tannins are velvety, almost fully resolved. The texture is that of satin sheets. Alcohol is medium and almost unperceivable. The finish is long and alluring.
2003 Alter Ego de Château Palmer, Margaux £250
Second wine of a top Margaux vineyard. Likable, easy to drink, delicate and mature, with soft red fruits, earth, tobacco and cedar.
2005 Nuits-St-Georges Vieilles Vignes, Alain Michelot £250
All the richness of old vines of at least 45 years of age, gives this powerful, aromatic Nuits-Saint-Georges a wonderful texture,
complex flavours of blackberry, blackcurrant and smoke, and a long, elegant flavoursome finish.
2001 Nuits-St-Georges Premier Cru Les Lavières, Jean Grivot £250
Still quite deep ruby core. Initially quite fragrant with blackberry fruit, this broadens aromatically, showing more dark cherry and
oak. Medium weight that also develops more flesh in the glass. You may eventually discover some ground coffee in addition to the
fine fruit and very strong cranberry acidity.
2000 Château Beauséjour Duffau-Lagarrosse, 1er Grand Cru Classé St-Emilion £275
From a very great vintage. On the red fruit side with herbs, liquorice, truffle and leafy aromatics, the wine is fully developed.
Medium bodied, soft, fresh and with a dusty, red fruit and olive palate presence, this is easy to drink today.
2001 Chambolle Musigny Vieilles Vignes, Collection Bellenum, Maison 6 Roche de Bellene £275
Possessing a quite extraordinarily brilliant nose that still displays a considerable amount of primary fruit – raspberry and wild
strawberries – but has the slightly gamey, near-impossible-to-describe complexity only found in Burgundy. The palate is incredibly
elegant, with spectacularly pure fruit, sleek tannins, a gorgeous mouth feel and perfect balance. It manages to show great concen-
tration, but with no excess weight; so hard to achieve, but magnificent when found in a wine. This is wonderful wine that is simply
incredible value for money.
1998 Château Pavie-Macquin, Grand Cru Classé St-Emilion £300
Deeply coloured, this wine offers a treat for the senses aromatically and on the palate. The long, intense, mineral and ripe fruit
finish is a pleasure to experience.
1996 Château Léoville-Poyferré, 2me Cru Classé St-Julien £300
Close to fully mature here, the wine is medium-bodied, earthy, round, soft and fleshy with a generous dose of sweet, ripe, black
fruits, smoke, liquorice, dark cherry and earth. Not as concentrated as some of the top wines from 1996, but the tannins are ripe,
the wine is round, plush and sensuous with a beautiful, ripe, sweet, red pit fruit finish.
1999 Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epeneaux, Comte Armand £ 350
The most sought-after wine in Pommard. The 1999 has an intense, brooding colour. A strong and rugged wine as always, but one
whose tannins are all but concealed by velvet fruit. Sublime.
2008 Le Petit Mouton, Pauillac £400
The second wine of the great Mouton Rothschild estate. A solid companion to its big brother, if this was 1855, the wine would have
been classified. Forward, full and elegant, with richly layered red fruits, spice and earth, the wine is round, juicy sweet and fresh.
You can enjoy this now while waiting for the Mouton Rothschild to develop.
1999 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes, Domaine Ponsot £700
Truly outstanding wine - lush on the palate, dense black fruits, almost plummy, exceptional length, silky, rich and very intense, one
of the finest Chambolle Charmes ever made. Extraordinary balance of fruit and tannin. Absolutely ready now but certainly will last
for years yet. Grand Vin!
