Fragrant rosewater and grapefruit aromas. Pure, rich lychee, and rose flavours are underpinned by hints of spice and graphite minerality. Well judged acidity provides initial lift and then gives way to a rich, rounded finish with a pleasant pithiness.

This wine is pale lemon in colour with youthful hues, and is reminiscent of green apples and white flowers. The palate is crisp, clean and beautifully balanced, with a long refreshing finish.

Traditional method, 100% piquepoul blanc. Pale yellow with green highlights in colour , fine clean bubbles on the cordon. Fine and discreet on the nose, with fresh white fruit aromas then dried fruit appearing after aeration.

Serge Cologne has an exceptional 7.3ha site in Fleurie and has been joined by sons Samuel and Landry. A star of the Beaujolais, these wines drip with sappy, raspberry fruit.

A serious and complex wine that is rich, intense and drenched in dark red fruits. With morello cherry and a touch of sweet spice on the nose, ripe berry, liquorice, chocolate, summer pudding and a hint of cinnamon spice, full flavoured and smooth supple tannins.

A beautifully rich wine made from perfectly ripened grapes.The personality of this wine is expressed in its colour a beautiful deep garnet with slightly brick tints and its generous bouquet with earthy notes and jammy, red-berried fruit. After the smooth palate with its crunchy extract, the finish brings out the spicy tannins typical of Medoc wines.

Less well known than near neighbours, Pouilly Fume and Sancerre, Quincy lies on the eastern end of the Loire, where the wines are left on the lees in tank until just before bottling. This adds an extra dimension of concentration and richness.

Deep red colour, with cherry compote infused with star anise on the nose. The concentrated palate is serious and densely fruity, and well structured tannins suggest good ageing potential.
