Yalumba, Craft 3 Sparkling Brut, South Australia 90
£10 Marks & Spencer
This fizz, made from the three traditional Champagne grapes, has bready aromas, with green apple and citrus. Savoury, yeasty biscuit flavours join ripe, honeyed yellow apple. Good acidity balances a creamy texture from malolactic fermentation and lees ageing. SW Alcohol 12%
Domaine Vincent Dampt, Chablis, Burgundy, France 2017 92
£22 Harrods
An extra year in bottle has added complexity and weight to this ‘basic’ Chablis, from one of the region’s star producers. 2017 was marred by frost and hail, but you wouldn’t know it from the ripe green-apple and citrus flavours, leafy edge and flinty minerality. TG Alc 12.5%
Donnafugata, Vigna di Gabri, Sicily, Italy 2017 91
£22 Exel
A blend of Ansonica with Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Viognier, gently oaked.Alc 13%
