Dry January is but a memory and, nearing the end of a demi-sec February fortnight — just a precaution to check that everything is working as it should be — I’m pretty much match fit once again and raring to go. I certainly loved choosing these delectable Yapp Bros wines on your behalf and, with the help of Mrs Ray, made sure that none of the bottles went to waste.
As befits a Loire specialist, Yapp Bros have had a top quality Muscadet on their list for 50 years and their current staple is the 2020 Jean-François Baron Muscadet Sur Lie (1), complete with its jolly Quentin Blake label. Produced by the fourth-generation winemaker Jean-François Baron from old estate vines, the wine spends several months on the lees, leaving it fresh, lively, bone dry and more than a little thirst-quenching. £11.25 down from £12.25.
A delectable selection from our friends at Yapp Bros
The 2020 Domaine Gardrat Sauvignon (2) from a 130-year-old family-owned estate in the Charente — Cognac country — is simple but deeply enjoyable fare.
