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

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 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.

Joseph Drouard and his son Christophe make classic Muscadet from 16 hectares of vines with an average age of 35 years situated on Silican clay around the commune of Monnieres. The wine is vinified at 21 degrees in underground glass lined vats and the wine rests on its lees throughout the winter. It is not fined and just receives a light filtration prior to bottling.

Sustainable. 100% Picpoul. Pale straw yellow. Bright and lemony fresh on the nose. On the palate zippy flavors of citrus, peach, fresh herbs, and oyster shell with a touch of richness. Fresh and zingy with a sea salt-laced finish.

A classic southern French blend, comprised of 40% Syrah, 40% Grenache & 20% Mourvèdre. Unoaked and bursting with ripe red-berried fruit, undercut with some complexity thanks to the region's distinctive 'garrigue' herbal notes, this is a seriously good take on the classic Languedoc blend.

Delightfully crisp and refreshing, as Provence rosé should be. Powdery pink in colour, with notes of white peaches, redcurrants and mandarin.

This is the top cuvee from Domaine De Pellehaut which they only make in very small quantities each year. A blend of Chardonnay and Petit Manseng this is one of the best value wines we have tasted in years. Ripe, tropical fruit of citrus, lychee and pineapple balanced with toasty, rich vanilla oak. An absolute must try!

From the Sichel estate, Chateau Argenteyre is a 27ha property. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 15% Petit Verdot with 12 month in oak. Drinking well now but will continue to develop for several years to come. A serious and classic Medoc wine.

The nose shows expressive aromas of gooseberry, white flowers and a hint of tropical fruit. The palate is harmonious with zippy acidity complemented by vibrant gooseberry and stone fruit flavours.
