An exceptional Sauterne of outstanding value from the Sichel family. A blend of 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc from 50 year old vines where Botrytis is encouraged to dehydrate the grapes. This Sauterne has been aged for 10 to 12 months.

From Caustaud-Maurins 17ha property within the village of Beaumes de Venise, a lovely wine with delicate almond and apricot flavours.

The classic variety of Alsace and much prized by the growers. Citrus fruit, lemons and limes with zesty acidity. A perfect aperitif or with a Thai curry.

Scents of ripe red fruits, redcurrants and blackcurrants accompanied by certain spicy notes. Elegant, well structured with roundness and fullness on the palate. The fruit aromas are followed by melted tannins with good persistence.

Chateau Briatte is situated in the heart of the Sauterne appellation, Michel Roudes is the third generation to manage the property. This sweet wine is a blend of Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Gris and Muscadelle. Luscious apricot notes mingle with a touch of honey, but all with a refreshing acidity to carry the wine.

We have long searched for a traditional, high quality Cahor. With 85% Tannat, deep, dark, savoury red fruit on nose and palate.

From a top property, a blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre in a stunning vintage. Earthy, rustic old fashioned Rhone with a porty, ripe fruit and wild herb character.

This is consistently a delicious wine from the excellent Coop at Turckheim. A broad, rich style with flavours of honey, spice and ripe fruit.

This is always a really excellent bone dry and full bodied Rose from Camargue. The vines have an average age of 30 years and are Grenache Noir and Gris (60%), Syrah (5%), Cincault ( 5%) and Cabernet Franc (30%). Aromatic, tasty and very good.

This Beaujolais Villages from Domaine Andre Colonge et Fils is light, fresh and classic. Supple and well-balanced, it has a nose of blackcurrant bud and fresh grapes with crunchy red fruit flavours on the palate.
