France

Provence, France. Exquisite strawberry notes on the nose with subtle honeysuckle and blood orange aspects on the palate. Perfect as an aperitif as well as a wonderful accompaniment to Provencal dishes...

Bordeaux, France. "The Chateau de Pez has a very tight bouquet with blackberry, cassis and a touch of crushed stone... The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins, racy acidity, red rather than black fruits (wild strawberry and a touch of raspberry.) Nicely focused towards the finish, perhaps more like Montrose in style in terms of its clarity and poise. This is very fine..."

Cahors, France. 'This is the young fruity wine from the Cèdre estate that also produces some of the most serious wines in Cahors. It is soft, packed with black fruits and with layers of spicy acidity. There is just a touch of tannin, which will make the wine a great barbecue accompaniment this summer...'

Cahors, France. This shows the soft, juicy side of Malbec. No serious tannins here, just red berry fruit and fine acidity. That means it's ready to drink this winter...

Bordeaux, France. "...has a deep bluish purple color and relatively hefty alcohol at 14.5%, but it is not noticeable in this full - bodied, layered, opulent wine, with lots of black raspberry fruit intermixed with some blueberries and crushed rock. These wines have a good 10 - 15 years of potential in a fine cellar..."

Provence, France. Certified Organic. Subtle and elegant, wild strawberry and citrus fruit aromas. Clean, fresh attack, nice smoothness and pomelo and mango notes finishing long and dry...

Bordeaux, France. 80% Merlot & 20% Cabernet Franc Of the 2009: ‘Dark ruby colour, the toasty oak is still dominating on the nose, but after opening is showcases savoury fruits. Rich and round on the plate, with kirschy aromas and strong quality tannins which will refine with time.’...

Rhone Valley, France. In the mouth it is silky, sweet and powerful, offering raspberry liqueur and lavender flavours. Fine-grained tannins give gentle grip to the impressively long, penetrating finish, which strongly echoes the floral and red berry notes. This is one super wine...
