A weighty, ripe and generous right bank Claret.

A linear and precise wine with a beautiful symbiosis between the freshness of Sauvignon Blanc and the more subtle side of Sémillon. Slightly saline on the attack with finesse and subtlety. The result is a saline and refreshing, persistent finish and a balanced acidity.

Rosé de Carsin is a dry rosé that is great aperitif or a summer drink but also good to be matched up with food.

A new classification—Coteaux Bourguignons—was created in 2011 to replace two older classifications. Essentially, “Coteaux Bourguignons” translates to the “hills of Burgundy,” and wines labelled under this designation have no restrictions attached. That means you can find red, rosé, and white wines that might be a single varietal-wine or a blend of grapes. Reds are usually made from a blend of pinot noir & gamay which go together rather well! Coteaux Bourguignons allows fruit to be sourced from greater Burgundy & Beaujolais regions. Domaine de la Creuze Noire Coteaux Bourguignons is a blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay which gives an exceptionally smooth soft approachable wine.

This is a round fleshy wine, pleasant to drink even at an early age offering ripe fruity aromas and a lovely balance in the mouth with supple tannins. An excellent value Bordeaux, the wine offers rich red fruit on a palate that is supple and round. The silky tannins blend easily with the fruit character and pairs beautifully with dishes like braised lamb or steak.

An award winning Bordeaux Superieur from near Graves on the Left Bank. Attractive oak aromas with soft cassis and black cherry fruit flavours leading onto a complex palate with good structure and fine tannins

Open, fragrant nose with notes of fresh fruits and white flowers. The mouth follow through on the same notes, with vibrant and fresh lime fruits. The finish is pleasant and refreshing. The wine shows and develops nicely in its primary youth.

Deep colour. Clean and straightforward on the nose, showing a beautiful identity. It is intense and concentrated with notes of red and black fruit - with a predominance of blackcurrants. The texture on the palate is supple, concentrated and balanced: the tannins are fine. Notes of liquorice, menthol, garrigue, bay leaves, blackcurrants and spices.

High up the ‘slopes of schist’ in the rugged mountainous terroir of Séguret lies a single vineyard so predominantly planted with Grenache Noir (intermingled only here and there with some Syrah) that the resulting wine – Les Coteaux Schisteux – comes close to being one of the purest expressions of Grenache Noir in the southern Rhône valley.

A vibrant, fresh and youthful Burgundian Pinot Noir from Domaine Giraudon who are based just 7 or so miles south west of Chablis. This is excellent, tons of raspberry and cherry fruit and a lick of liquorice on the soft, incredibly approachable palate.

Deep ruby red with a subtle garnet rim, it opens with vibrant aromas of cherry and red plum enriched by notes of liquorice and a faint trace of violet. The palate is medium bodied and silky showing juicy fruit at the front, balanced by polished tannins and a fresh seam of acidity. There’s a savoury edge, minerality, a touch of iron or earthy stone that gives complexity. The finish lingers nicely on red fruit and spice, soft but well-structured. A wine that’s enjoyable now but has enough backbone to benefit from short-term ageing.

Ô de Rosé is a tribute to their singular terroir, to the scenic grandeur of the local landscape and to the heartening Northern wind protecting their vineyards. The vineyards are rooted in the foothills of the Massif Central and plateauing over breathtaking views of the nearing Pyrenees and waters of the Mediterranean Sea. This patchwork of climates and terroirs is the secret behind Ô: the grapes are slowly matured in perfect weather conditions and produce a crisp and elegantly balanced wine.

This Cotes du Rhone was harvested at night to prevent oxidation and avoid the use of SO2, this keeps the freshness and protects the natural aromas of the grapes. The wine was then vinified without the addition of any sulphites. A deep ruby in colour, the palate is elegant and well balanced with red fruits, spice notes and soft tannins.

Opaque, perfumed with fragrant black cherry, cassis and spice. Full bodied, intense with countless layers of flavour including blackcurrant, cedar and graphite. Dense fruit on the palate is bound by a structure of fine grained tannins and a lively acidity. This wine shows great depth and character and yet is refined with a long, elegant finish.

Rich and concentrated wines in the area of Rasteau come from perfectly ripe Grenache & Syrah grapes and low yields. The wine boasts a deep ruby sustained, shimmering bright purplish colour. Sweet aromas of stewed fruit: cherry, blackberry, prune, fig and wild raspberries on a background of licorice form a complex, focused and enjoyable nose. The palate confirms the beautiful ripeness and is well coated with sweet notes of cherry, prune and fig. The finish is long, powerful and generously spiced. A pleasant, smooth wine with an aromatic character, splendid value too, better than many a cheap Chateauneuf Du Pape.

Christophe Camu, 7th generation, ferments all his wines at cool temperature using natural yeasts and produces pure, crisp and mineral whites. Fresh aromas of green apple, lemon peel, and a wonderful saline minerality. Round on the palate and well-balanced with a crisp acidity. Perfect with seafood.

The bouquet is dominated by notes of ripe fruit. In the mouth it is full and silky with soft, supple tannins.

A light bodied, fruity red with aromas of strawberry jam with tart flavours of cherries and raspberries and ever so light savoury notes. Very Classy!

Lots of tropical fruit flavours mingling with a lovely gentle oak. A splendid Chardonnay. Fifth generation winemaker Cedric Chêne is now at the winemaking helm at this top class 60 acre family estate situated in southern Burgundy just north of Mâcon. Outstanding wines made in miniscule quantities.

Since the elevation of Cairanne to a southern Rhône cru, this first release of 'La Côte Sauvage' continues to be characterised by its finesse and finely-grained texture, due in part to the famous ‘argilo-calcaire’ of hilltop vineyards such as La Pauline and Les Six Terrasses, slow wine making methods and gentle maturation in different sized barrels of old French oak.

Beautiful salmon-pink Provence rosé has a very pretty scent of crushed strawberries, peach, rose-water and orange blossom. On the palate, it is wonderfully dry and crisp with delicate summer berry fruits balanced by citrus zest acidity and a deliciously creamy finish. A fabulously sophisticated rosé that is perfect for summer picnics or evening aperitif. Whispering Angel is the big name in Provence.

Complex and well rounded Chablis from vines averaging over 40 years of age.

This organic and biodynamic wine is made in a lighter style making it extremely drinkable, but it still has the typical diesel fumes and lime zest hues you would expect. Pale lemon colour and attractive aromas of lemon, grapefruit, pineapple, lime, peach and green apple. It has sharp acidity and medium body while the mineral sensation is quite intense on the palate.

A classic claret. Cherry red colour with an intensive floral nose followed by a rich fruity palate dominated by crunchy red fruit notes. A very aromatic, well-balanced but robust wine.

The nose shows delicate notes of white flowers and nettles. Fresh citrus fruit and well balanced acidity with good length.
