About a fortnight ago I thought, for a change, to buy a bottle in Marks & Spencer, possibly in the margins of returning a trolley, and lighted upon that illustrated. A little more than I usually pay, but gave it a whirl.
It turned out to be rather good - but unfortunately it also turned out that I got it cheap because it was end of line and it has now vanished from the shelves of both the Epsom and the online M&S.
Moved to look it up on google and surprised to find that, despite tasting rather like a higher grade Chablis, it came from the other end of the great limestone ridge which is the home of Burgundy, that is to say the southern end of the Côte de Beaune. Maybe now that I can't knock the stuff back in style any more, I have found instead what it takes to be a wine buff.
