Wine list
Fizz/Champagne & Sparkling Wines
House Champagne Brut N.V.
specially selected for the Bridge Hotel.
Consistent quality & style, reflecting the finesse and breeding
which sets this apart from other sparkling wines in the world.
£25.75
Pink Champagne N.V.
A light and refreshingly dry rose Champagne.
£30.00
Moet & Chandon Brut Imperial N.V.
Light, dry style with polish and balance.
£38.00
Veuve Cliquot Yellow Label Brut N.V.
The classic full bodied big style of Champagne.
£39.00
Bollinger Grande Annee Vintage 1992
Full flavoured, bone dry Champagne with a good mature style
balanced by fruity acidity.
£65.00
Dom Perignon 1993
Moet’s top wine is produced in the cellars in Epernay and is
as good as it’s reputation. A distinguished, almost almond like flavour,
crisp and very long lived.
£95.00
Asti Spumante DOCG Martini
One of Italy’s true inimitable classics: sweet, buxomly fruity
but girlishly giggly with it’s scented froth.
£14 .95
Duc de Foix Cava Brut N.V.
An elegant delicate Cava made in the traditional method,
crisp and fine bodied with excellent length.
£16.00
Light & Crisp White Wines
Unoaked Chardonnay, Castle Creek (South East
Australia)
In keeping with modern taste, this wine is a non-oaked vinification of the
Chardonnay grape, which permits the preponderance of fruit to shine through.
£13.75
Dry Muscat Blanc, Brown Brothers (Victoria, Australia)
Vibrant, pale gold colour and enticingly fresh nose with an intense
varietal
aroma which is made complete by a long, crisp, dry finish.
£13.95
Macon Villages A.C. Laboure-Roi (Burgundy, France)
This 100% Chardonnay has a much warmer, rounder, softer style to
that of Chablis.
Good weight of fruit and unobtrusive acidity make this a pleasing choice.
£14.95
Sauvignon Blanc, Whitehaven (Marlborough, New
Zealand)
Delicious flavours, excellent body and weight but the wine has the
racy and acidity
flavour which is the hallmark of the New Zealand style.
£16.00
Chablis A.C. Laboure-Roi (Burgundy, France)
The classic taste of Chablis - steely dry with more power than anticipated,
citrus fruit
crisp acidity and a pleasantly sharp finish.
£17.95
Chablis 1er Cru A.C. “Montmains”
Domaine Jacqueline Paris
(Burgundy, France)
Made from 100% Chardonnay grapes, the relatively cool climate of
Chablis produces
wines which are rapier sharp, steely and lemon fresh with a
deceptively powerful structure.
£28.50
Softer, Fuller-Flavoured White Wines
Chenin Blanc, Rocheburg (South Africa)
Pleasant, medium bodied, medium to dry with a hint of sweetness,
shows the versatilityof this underestimated grape variety.
£13.75
Pinot Grigio de Veneto, Villa Romanti (Veneto,
Italy)
Meant to be drunk within four years, these wines can broaden and
become
quite soft in later stages of development.
£14.95
Sancerre A.C., Domaine Millet (Loire, France)
This benchmark wine for Sancerre has a powerful aroma of ‘gun
flint’ with a
suggestion of elder flower. A wonderfully uplifting dry white
£18.95
EXP Voignier, R.H. Phillips (California, U.S.A)
Very powerful with an extremely commercial floral nose,
immense concentration, depth and length.
£27.00
Puligny-Montrachet A.C., Emile Chandesais (Burgundy,
France)
All Puligny’s white wines share approximately the same characteristics
-
they are eminently dry and so soft or so luxurious as the Meursaults,
and are apt to have a full rich, flowery or sometimes fruity bouquet.
£36.75
Rose wine
White Zinfandel R.H. Phillips (California, U.S.A)
Zinfandel grapes have been lightly pressed to give an almost
sherbet-like fruitiness and a lively coloured wine.
£14.50
Fuller-Bodied Red Wines
Beaune 1er Cru A.C. “ Cents Vignes”
Ch. La Loyere (Burgundy, France)
self scented, gently fruity wine which is consistent and good value.
£40.55
Chateau Gruand Larose 2eme Cru A.C. St Julien
1993 (Bordeaux, France)
One of the most famous and consistently good St Juliens.
£65.00
Chateau Lynch - Bages 5eme Cru A.C. Pauillac
1993 (Bordeaux, France)
Deep in colour and has a pronounced blackcurrant and cedarwood bouquet.
£69.00
Chateau Mouton-Rothschild 1ere Cru A.C. Pauillac
(Bordeaux, France)
The most famous of all clarets - magnificent!
£164.00
Dessert Wines
Muscat Jose Sala X.V. (South West France)
Pronounced grapey flavour, succulently sweet. A little goes a long
way.
£13.50
Late Harvest Muscat, Brown Brothers (Victoria,
Australia)
Fresh, crisp acidity with a delicate but intense fruity sweetness
making this a very attractive sweet white.
£16.25
