Our latest Wine Vaults offer comes from the ever-dependable Yapp Bros, absolute masters at unearthing small, top-quality independent producers whose output is too small or too niche for the supermarkets.
And this week, bearing in mind that we’re all now back from our summer hols, Yapp have come up with four tried and tested French classics that will taste every bit as good here as they did over there. For, as Jason Yapp points out, it’s a sad fact that wines quaffed on holiday in France invariably lack that certain je ne sais quoi once back home in rainy Basingstoke.
Very generously, Jason has lopped a quid off every bottle, which, with free delivery, makes for a substantial saving.
The 2012 Domaine de la Mortaine, Muscadet de Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie (1) is about as perfect a Muscadet as you’ll find.
