White Burgundy mixed case offer
6:23am Friday 8th August 2008
White Burgundy. The words themselves conjure up fresh, clean, minerally wines with subtlety and complexity - no big overripe and overoaked wines here.
These are wines from one of the greatest wine-producing areas on the planet - and it shows.
Discounted case price £95. Includes three bottles of each of the following four wines:
Macon Villages 2006, Château de Mirande
Subtle touches of butter and crisp structure in this very drinkable wine from the southern Cote Maconnais area of Burgundy - delicious!
Bourgogne Chardonnay Les Belles Roches 2006, Cave de Prissé
A beautiful example of Bourgogne from this excellent producer. Minerally with good ripe fruit showing the characteristics of the warm 2006 vintage - just superb with fish dishes.
Macon-Lugny Montvallon 2006, Loron et Fils
Rich creamy, buttery style from Loron. This is relatively full bodied with loads of ultra ripe fruit, making the wine a perfect match for white meats and chicken in particular.
Macon-Prissé Les Clochettes 2006, Cave de Prissé
This is a delightfully elegant and finely poised structured style of wine, that shows real minerality and terroir. Perfect with grilled prawns in particular.

The Mole and Chicken, Easington, near Thame
One of the pictures on this page gives a good impression of the delights to be enjoyed at the Mole and Chicken on one of those sunny days that now seem as far as can be from our present situation.
Early taste of Christmas wine

Dylan Moran: New Theatre, Oxford
‘I was the first person to discover that if you infected a person with Marmite, he would stand up and bark at the moon.” “Everybody under the age of 35 has the intelligence of raspberry jam.” “Children can hear vegetables hiding.”
Sleeping Beauty, Chipping Norton Theatre
There’s nothing King Couer-de-Loup likes more than a good battle: “We’ll march on King Florizel’s wet and wicked army,” he proclaims. His Queen is not so sure, however. She would rather her husband stayed around: there’s the christening of their daughter Princess Aurora to arrange for a start. And he certainly can’t go out and fight looking like that: “Your chain mail’s got a ladder in it,” she wails.
