VILLA BLANCHE TERRET BLANC
Whisper it, but this could give many a Chablis a run for its money. A once popular but now rarely seen grape of the Languedoc, it displays bright citrus fruits with a thrilling mineral finish, reminiscent of more heralded whites.

DOMAINE LOUIS MOREAU, CHABLIS
This is a deliciously delicate expression of the Chardonnay grape from Burgundy, and makes a really smart start to a celebratory meal. There are hints of apples and grapefruit flavours and an elegant buttery edge. It's wonderful with salmon, which has a delicate juniper flavour that is subtle and immediate.
