At The Suffolk in Aldeburgh, director George Pell talks us through three of his favourite pours by the glass this season: the wines he keeps returning to alongside the fresh seafood, and that famous côte de boeuf. The perfect pairings for summer days by the coast.
Save this for your next visit to Aldeburgh 🥂
Laurent-Perrier Héritage Champagne
France
Built on Laurent-Perrier’s reserve wine expertise: a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir drawn from 40 crus, aged a minimum of four years. Lemon and white peach on the nose give way to toasted bread and almond, with a fresh, layered palate closing on honeyed florals.
A premium by the glass offering, ideal for oysters.
Château Lestrille Capmartin Blanc
Bordeaux, France
2021
A Sauvignon-led white from Entre-Deux-Mers, barrel-fermented and aged on lees for texture. White peach and pear on the nose, with honey and a gentle toast from the oak. Citrus freshness runs through a creamy palate, apricot carrying to a long, balanced finish.
Excellent alongside shellfish.
Castello di Tornano Tornus DOCG Chianti Classico
Italy
2023
Sangiovese-led with a touch of Merlot, aged ten months in French oak. Sour cherry, wild strawberry and mulberry on the nose, with real structure on the palate.
Firm tannins and lifted acidity give it the backbone the côte de boeuf needs.
