Constantly
changing, but always from a small band of producers that represent particularly
good value. Currently we are showing
Vincent Ogereau’s delicious dry Rosé
de Loire, also delightful white and pink
sparklers, the Crémant de Loire, made by the ‘Traditionelle’ method
from Régis Neau at Domaine de Nerleux.
The house red and white are once again from Saumur: a full and fruity
white and a soft and fragrant red from our old friend Dominique Tessier at
the Domaine des Hauts de Sanziers |
