Red Wines of Southern France

Les Oliviers Merlot - Mourvedre is made by Boutinot , a blend of 80% Merlot, 20% Mourvedre each from a single plot. Pays d'Oc in southern France is known for producing ripe, luscious fruit and it is the addition of the Mourvedre that makes this wine extra interesting.

Domaine De Pellehaut Harmonie de Gascogne Rouge is from an historic 300 hectare family owned estate, a blend of 30% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Tannat.10% Syrah, 10% Malbec, 5% Pinot Noir from vines that average 27 years of age. French cork closure.

This is a true charmer of a wine, with a round front-of-palate and creamy extract and a superbly fresh finish. An open, generous, fruity and expressive wine. Distinctly easy-to-drink and made for sharing with friends and family, with or without food.

Produced in the low foothills of the Pyrenees, this 100% Pinot Noir from Domaine De Cassagnau is a product of it's unique terroir and proximity to the Pays d'Oc and the Atlantic. Vibrant but classic, a great value Pinot.

Vibrant ruby hues gleam out of the glass. The first notes on the nose are of crushed blueberries which then develop on to reveal an intriguing bitter-sweet character of crème de cassis with a touch of underlying parma violets. Fine red-fruits fill the mouth; raspberries and a touch of dark chocolate truffle.

This 'croquant' Cinsault is bright and deliciously enjoyable. Unoaked, vibrant redcurrant and raspberry fruit with a wild, delicately tannic herbaceous edge.

Delicious 100% Cabernet Franc with layers of scented raspberry and cherry fruit and wonderful texture.

Fuller than Pinot Noir from Burgundy, it has a warm, rich nose with aromas of stewed cherries. The palate is nicely balanced with an exciting, savoury bitterness provided by ripe, tasty tannins.

A superb 30ha estate which produces excellent varietal Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep Cassis fruit on nose and palate. Dark and delicious.

From a wonderful property, 70% Tannat, 30% Merlot, from very old vines and with 18 months in oak. Delicious deep, rich fruit but fresh and juicy. Almost South American in style.
