The domaine of Roger Sabon is as highly rated as any in the Rhone. Sourced from hillside vineyards around the village of Roquemaure it is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mouvedre and Carignan. A scented, spicy red fruit nose with a palate of rich fruit with balance and texture.

As is the case as regards all of our crèmes de cassis (blackcurrant liqueur), for our Dijon Crème de Cassis 15% we use the most prestigious blackcurrant variety: the Noir de Bourgogne variety. The berries we use are harvested exclusively in Burgundy in France. We macerate our berries in a water and alcohol solution for about 10 weeks. Indeed, maceration is the best way to extract all flavours from these berries. Consequently, the alcohol-containing juice thus obtained is called infusion. After that, we add French white sugar to obtain this crème de cassis.

This is a ripe, full Cremant de Loire Rose from a top producers in Saumur. Bright, crisp red currant fruit on nose and palate.

A pure, pale salmon pink colour with gentle onion skin hues that shine from the glass upon swirling. A fine, delicate nose with floral blossom, peach, fresh citrus, and hints of red fruit lead to a classic fresh and bright palate, a spritely acidity balanced with wild strawberry, raspberry, and stone fruit notes.

Pale yellow with a beautiful sheen. Nose: Intense with light aromas of passion fruit, peach and citrus. Palate: Harmonious and predominantly floral with a mixture of light peach and citrus aromas, wrapped in lovely minerality on the finish.

A stunning and unusual aperitif. 100% Chenin Blanc, bottled at low pressure. Delicious dried apple and apricot fruit with creamy yeasty notes.

From Domaine Mittnacht comes a superb Gentil blend of 40% Pinot Blanc, 30% Riesling, 10% Muscat, 10% Gewurztraminer and 10% Pinot Gris. Beautifully aromatic, dry and lively, this is a perfect partner for sushi, sashimi and other delicate seafood dishes.

Sourced from 30 - 50 year old vines from a single once walled vineyard, sited next to a church. This is an elegant unoaked Macon-Charnay. Ripe citrus notes on the nose, with a complex palate which balances richness with a savoury, mineral palate
