Dates For Your Diary

"Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivée."

Most of us of a certain age will remember the slogan to celebrate the end of harvest and the arrival of the new vintage on the third Thursday of November. Like most things it was cool and then became uncool and now it's back.

On Thursday 20th at The Ship you'll have the chance to try a glass of Nouveau with our rotisserie chicken and frites for £25 .

There will be a selection of Cru wine flights  from the top producers in Beaujolais available the rest of the week, including:

Dominique Morel Beaujolais Villages 2024

Arnaud Aucoeur Beaujolais Villages 'Vielles Vignes'

Christophe Pacalet Beaujolais Villages 2017

Go big or go home......

We are celebrating the end of year with some epic bottles with age from top producers. Enjoy a selection of Marsh Pig charcuterie and cheese and a guided tasting from our resident wino Ed Thaw. 

André Beaufort Champagne Pollisy 2008

Long an outlier in Champagne for practicing organic viticulture and eschewing cultured yeasts, these are unique champagnes from the lauded 2008 vintage. 

Marchand Tawse Puligny-Montrachet Les Champs Gains 2020

From the more delicate and floral part of Puligny-Montrachet this is a chance to try the work of Ex Dujac winemaker Thomas Dinel from the stellar 2020 vintage.

Domaine Faiveley Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2017

An opulent and intense wine from this storied estate from a vintage that is drinking beautifully now. 

Château Bel Air Marquis D'Aligré 2009

Remarkable Margaux from a winemaker who is the last of his kind. This is special old-school Bordeaux where terroir is to fore and alcohol is kept in check. 

Château Guiraud Sauternes 2009

After d'Yquem there is Guiraud. The only other premier cru classé in Sauternes is the reference point mere mortals can afford. The 2009 vintage is the perfect balance of opulence and freshness. 

£85.00

This is indeed not your average pub quiz
