Stockist/Retailer: John Lewis

(2022) The 'nude' bit refers to the wine being stripped down in terms of packaging, bottled in 100% recycled glass, stoppered with local cork and finished with a paper collar instead of a tin capsule. It is also organic and vegan-friendly. It's a Côtes de Provence rosé made from Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Rolle. Aromatically it has a little bubblegum/cherry lips florality, and a peachy undertone. In the mouth there's a clever tension between sweet and ripe berries, pear and peach again, and a tugging mineral and citrus acid core. It has a pleasing, rounded mouthfeel and good length in a stylish package.

(2017) It may be a cliché, but for St Valentine's Day many people's thoughtss turn to Champagne, and this is a rather special 'deluxe' cuvée - the top of the range - from Nicholas Feuillatte, the brand of one of Champagne's largest cooperative cellars. Part of the attraction is surely the unique and very original bottle, but the wine inside is an excellent Champagne too, with enough baked apple pie breadth of creamy apples and pastry, tiny bubbles and a luxuriant mousse, and a marriage of that richness with fresh, clean apple and citrus fruit into a long, elegant finish. It's expensive enough to bring it close to Krug and Dom Pérignon territory, but the romantics will love the packaging too. For more information, watch my full video review.
