France

A fine red color. Complex and subtle nose with some ripeness fruits. Full body with fines tanins and complex aromas. Good length in mouth.

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.

Les Six is a blend of six different grape varieties. Grenache, Syrah, Mouvedre, Carignan, Counoise and Cinsault. Full-flavoured and complex with the typical freshness and elegance coming from our hillside vineyards, layers of fruit are interwoven and underpinned by a plush texture and supple tannins which propel the scents and flavours of peppery red and black fruits to a vibrant, expressive finish.

An unusual white from Beaujolais. 100% Chardonnay with soft, ripe fruit and light oak.

Less well known than near neighbours, Pouilly Fume and Sancerre, Quincy lies on the eastern end of the Loire. Domaine de Chevilly is made by Yves Lestourgie in 20 hectares of 20 year old vines. His wife, Antoine, is a qualified oenologist and her influence can be seen in the winery , where the wines are left on the lees in tank until just before bottling. This adds an extra dimension of concentration and richness.

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.

Located near Morgon and Fleurie, Chiroubles is home to bright and lively young wines such as this La Forge from Domaine de la Chaponne. Fragrant aromas of fresh summer berries are balanced with soft red fruit flavours and smooth tannins.

A deep, dark red wine which lights up at first sniff. A subtle mixture of fruity and spicy aromas lingers in the glass for minutes. This fine aromatic performance continues on the palate, with cherry, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg and other aromas underpinned by a powerful, elegant tannic structure.

A tremendous value offering from the Costières de Nîmes, undergoing 3 month aging in new French oak barriques with periodic battonage.

Domaine Bruno Sorg produces delicious, ripe wine. The nose is full and opulent with ripe stone fruit aromas. The palate is juicy and fragrant with unctuous fruit.
