    Les Pionniers, Champagne, France 91

    £ 18.99 Co-op

    The Co-op’s multi-awarded own-brand Champagne, made by Piper-Heidsieck, is always a reliable buy. This latest non-vintage release (with 60% Pinot Noir) has the excellent dry, sunny, ripe 2015 vintage as its base wine and it shows in the rich apple fruit, biscuity notes and juicy acidity. Alc 12%

    Jim Barry, The Lodge Hill Riesling, Clare Valley, South Australia 2018 92

    £11-£12.99 Co-op, Majestic

    A quintessential Clare Valley Riesling: concentrated yet vibrant lime cordial, white blossom and fresh lime juice leap from the glass. Pristine and almost squeaky clean, it is thrilling to drink now but the racy acidity should ensure it matures well. Alc 12%

    Araldica, Cortese, Piedmont, Italy 2018 91

    £6.25-£8.99 Amps, John Hattersley, Kwoff, Majestic, Stone Vine & Sun, The Wine Society

    A brilliant white to have on standby this summer. Pretty, lifted aromas
