Rhone, France

The Cicada takes its name from the emblem of the Domaine – Chante Cigale – the famed ‘singing cicadas’ of Provence. Fresh raspberry fruits on the nose, flavours are more ripe cherry with a touch of spice. The Carignan adds a bit of soul to the vibrant Grenache, nicely balanced acidity with suppletannins

The nose is pretty and delicate, just hints of hedgerow flowers. The flavours are nuanced and refined rather than overt. Careful use of oak adds texture and vinosity to this very drinkable white.

From a wonderful estate of 80 hectares of sunny south facing vineyards in the Costières de Nîmes, this is a tasty, fruity and fresh white.

Perfumed, grapey and delicious, this elegant sweet wine has an excellent balance of sweetness and freshening acidity.

One of the best value white Rhones we have tasted. Soft, rich and ripe stone fruit with balanced, fresh acidity and a long, fruit driven finish.

From the famous Chapoutier House, a blend of Grenache Blanc, Vermentino, Ugni Blanc and Roussanne from the foot of the Luberon mountain range. A delicious nose of citrus and flowers with a ripe, broad palate.

From a top producer of the AC, delicious apricot and honeyed fruit.

From Caustaud-Maurins 17ha property within the village of Beaumes de Venise, a lovely wine with delicate almond and apricot flavours.

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

A floral dream, elegant, refined, in a very expressive style, this Roussanne will charm you with its bouquet of flowers (honeysuckle) and white fruits (peaches, pears).
