Surrounded as it is by Grand Cru Classé properties, Château Angludet would almost certainly have been included in the famous 1855 Classification, had the property not been broken up as part of an inheritance settlement. In an act of faith (given the property's state of decay) and belief in Angludet's potential, the Sichel family bought the estate in 1961. Since then, the Sichels have worked tirelessly to restore and, indeed, improve the vineyard and cellars, giving Angludet back the reputation its exceptional terroir deserves. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (48%), Merlot (40%), and Petit Verdot (12%) for this vintage Angludet has a distinguished and elegant bouquet with its black fruit aromas, subtly highlighted by spices and toasty, vanilla notes. The palate is no less charming – generous, ample and elegant, displaying crunchy fruit and underpinned by superb, perfectly smooth tannins that offer remarkable length. Still in its youth, it will attain its full expression after several years of ageing in the bottle.

Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut is a melting pot of aromas and flavours – a wonderfully rounded, generous champagne whose joie de vivre makes every moment more special. Ideal pairings are grapefruit, chicken breasts and young leeks!

This wine is a quintessential Chardonnay from southern Burgundy. It presents a pale gold colour with aromas of green apple, pear and lingering white flowers. The palate is medium-bodied with flavours of citrus, stone fruit and a touch of minerality, supported by a well-balanced acidity, leading to a long and elegant finish.

Your three course menu, agreed in advance with Mary, will be delivered on the day of your party. Or could be frozen for a future date.

Designed by John Grindlay, the storm kettle has quickly become a vital and important piece of kit for all outdoor enthusiasts, survival and bushcraft experts. You light a small fire in the base of the STORM™ Kettle, put the kettle on to the base, more fuel can be added through the top when necessary. The water in the double skin surrounding the chimney boils quickly as heat from the fire passes up the centre. Once the Kettle has boiled, use the handle and the chain from the cork to help you pour the water safely.

June doesn't only win prizes at the puppy show. She is also a talented botanical artist with many exhibitions under her belt. 'I'm inspired by the subjects all around me, including the plants, trees and fruit in our very old garden. I try to paint from growing plants and flowers whenever possible.'

My preferred medium is watercolour; I try to use this medium to give delicacy, light and colour to the subjects. I'm always striving to bring my paintings to life!

A bottle of the good stuff.
Every batch of Boodles Gin is made with labour and patience. It begins as a clean spirit distilled from British wheat. The liquid is then redistilled in a Carter Head copper still, which allows the botanicals to gradually infuse into the spirit.

Our unique recipe contains botanicals sourced from the finest growers around the world. Interestingly, Boodles Gin contains no citrus – a practical decision made by original distillers who expected a brilliant drink to include a slice of lemon or lime.

The Boodles recipe also contains a number of traditional herbs and spices, including nutmeg, sage, and rosemary.

These ingredients add a mellow but herbal quality to Boodles, which balances out the essential piney notes from juniper.

A further five ingredients round out the recipe and achieve a forthright but subtle spirit, suitable for any brilliant drinks – martinis, Boodles & tonics, bucks, or further mixology, for those so inclined.

the same token easy to spook!
