French White Wine

Crisp, gently saline and textured with luscious stone fruit flavours and a hit of exotic spice. Plenty going on here, with quite a sophisticated flourish for this level.

Vermentino, known also as Rolle, is widely grown in southern France and Italy. Reminiscent of sauvignon, with its crisp freshness and bright citrus and green apple fruit.

A fine expression of viognier - more in the pristine, floral camp than the honeyed, opulent style.

Unoaked and fermented in steel tanks to preserve freshness, this is a deliciously fruit forward style. A rounded pallet of green apples and citrus notes are balanced by zippy acidity.

A very moreish style of sauvignon - not as green and herbaceous as some, with ripe, tropical fruit more to the fore here. Has the hallmark zippy citrus freshness.

This lovely blend of marsanne, rousanne and viognier made by Nathalie Blanc-Mares is fresh, lively, with ripe tropical fruits, good minerality and hints of spice.

For when you fancy the fruit, finesse and delicacy of Sancerre but not the budget, Bellevue offers spectacular value for money.

One of the Languedoc's best viogniers, and a pristine, highly aromatic style of this grape. Rounded and luscious, whilst also very fresh and elegant.

Domaine Talmard’s Mâcon-Chardonnay hails from the fine 2022 vintage, sees no oak, and simply oozes with Talmard class.

Picpoul de Pinet has become one of summer's most fashionable light white wines and Bruno Lafon's and Francois Chamboissier's is one of the very best.

A blend of unoaked chardonnay and viognier grapes that is increasingly popular in the Languedoc. Superb with grilled fish.

This lovely blend of marsanne, rousanne and viognier made by Nathalie Blanc-Mares is fresh, lively, with ripe tropical fruits, good minerality and hints of spice.

Made from 100-year-old vines, hand picked and aged on lees for more body and character than found in most Muscadets.

An exquisite expression of Pinot Blanc from the Riquewihr environs of Alsace; 4 months non lees; aged in stailess steel for freshness and depth of flavour.

This unoaked, dry white wine has a bouquet of citrus, exotic fruit and white flowers, demonstrating the potential of Chardonnay for finesse and complexity.

A lovely off-dry white wine which is well balanced with a refreshing acidity. A rich yellow in colour, with a nose of smoky notes and dried fruit.

Dopff's riesling is very classic, dry, and pristine with crisp, green apple and vibrant citrus. Perfect aperitif or with seafood in the autumn.

This is not a sparkler in the classic sense but a modern white wine where invigorating effervescence gives way to summery aromas and flavours of white flower and orchard fruit.

Good Vouvray from the north of the Loire by Tours is one of France's hidden jewels, and one of our favourite white wines. Bernard Fouquet's fabulous Vouvray, grown on vines ...

A classic example of Alsace gewürztraminer - aromatic, spicy and off-dry. Perfumed on the nose, with lychee, stone fruit and subtle spice on the finish.

Gorgeously rich, full-bodied on the palate with balanced length that is freshened with a final lick of brisk, elegant, invigorating acidity.

Our number one selling white wine. Truly delicious white burgundy from the Rousset family and quite extraordinary good value.

The cooler 2021 vintage has worked perfectly here, that fresh zip is present and wonderfully balanced with ripe orchard fruit and citrus.
