We have recently received another review for Chateau Jolys Jurançon Sec 2010 (Jurançon). This is our best selling white wine. It seems to appeal to both the chardonnay and the sauvignon blanc lovers - it has lovely fruit but also a lovely dry aromatic structure. We previously sold the 2009 vintage but recently changed over to 2010 - a great year and recently it received its second review. The Chateau, despite being the biggest producer in Jurançon is struggling to keep up with international demand but luckily we secured an allocation. Here are the 2 reviews, the first from Sean Mitchell in the Grape Observer, and the second from Kerry Skinner in the Illawarra Mercury.

We now have available the La Rayre Rosé 2010 vintage. Those of you who loved the 2009 will not be disappointed with this new vintage - fresh and crisp, to enjoy over the summer months.
The magnificent Château Jolys Cuvée Jean 2008 is still available in the 375ml bottles, however the750ml bottles are now the 2009 vintage, and the wine is just as delicious as it always was!
