I'm going to be AWOL again for a few days, a long overdue buying trip to the Rhone, top and bottom, to include the great Jean-Luc Jamet of Cote Rotie fame, here illustrated in elegantly clad bottle form. The shop will be closed on Sunday 19th and Weds 22nd, but Sophie will be holding the fort thereafter until my return to the fray on Saturday. My apologies for the short notice.

It is available from The Black Dog now, at £17.95 per bottle, or £16.95 as part of a case of 6, which may of course be mixed. Carriage charges apply to orders of less than £100, or collect from our shop at Ashlyn's Farm Shop.

https://mailchi.mp/11a5001d3172/2023-les-sorts-jove-montsant2023 LES SORTS 'Jove' Celler Masroig, Montsant

Les Sorts ‘Jove’ is a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Carignan, with partial whole cluster carbonic maceration under selected local yeasts to accentuate the bright primary red fruit aromas. It is at once deep and supple, with a soft, moreish freshness. It represents an ideal of pure, uncomplicated deliciousness at a relatively easy price.

£15.45 per bottle when bought as part of a case of 6, carriage charges apply.

Domaine Tour Campanets Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence - https://mailchi.mp/6d34925b22d1/domaine-tour-campanets-coteaux-daix

The 2024 just arrived, a classic Rosé from the Coteaux d'Aix, comprising a blend of Grenache and Syrah with a short skin contact to give a lovely pale Rosé. It combines vividly fresh wild strawberry, peach and mineral aromatics, with a dry, juicily fruity palate, and a long finish. And we have something like a heatwave upon us this weekend!

I will be away and the shop at Ashlyn's will be closed between Monday 12th & Friday 23rd May. No orders will be processed after Monday.

I'll be roaming the valleys, cliffs and moors of the West Country, and will return a happy and refreshed vintner, rather than the miserable old bu**er customarily lurking grumpily behind piles of boxes at Le Chien Noir, or depicted for some reason on all these old woodcuts. Mind you, this fellow looks as though he's doing the bidding of the wretched Rachel Reeves, so he has fair reason to look a bit fed up.

My deep gratitude always to customers of The Black Dog, and my apologies for any inconvenience this very necessary interlude causes.

2022 Bourgogne Pinot Noir, Gilbert Felettig - https://mailchi.mp/aa55e5391b9d/2022-bourgogne-pinot-noir-gilbert-felettigGilbert Felettig is amongst the more conspicuous rising stars in the rarified firmament of Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, with parcels of venerable vines in several of the most lauded appellations. This Bourgogne Rouge, made from 45 year old vines below Chambolle-Musigny, is a delightful introduction to this superb source of top class Burgundy. Only tiny quantities available.

£32.95 per single bottle, £29.95 per bottle when bought in cases of 6

Something for the weekend?

2022 (forgive me my 'library' photo) Cahors Clos la Coutale.

This is where it all began for Malbec, darker and more structured than the now better known Mendoza renditions, and so perfect with steak and game, confits, casseroles and 'daubes'. Now officially organic too. One of the great domaines of Cahors.

We've got a few cases left at a special price of just £12.95 per bottle if you buy 6* - it will have to go up to £15.95 with ex-Chancellor Sunak's lunatic duty regime which finally came into effect in February, so grab it while you can.

* Delivery charges apply to all orders of less than £100, or come to the shop and collect!
