2022 Mont-Redon Côtes du Rhône, Southern Rhone Valley France

Established in 1842, farmed organically and Vinified in steel from 80% Grenache, 20% Syrah. Bright red fruits and fine tannin, a medittaeranean herb character lifts the wine out of the glass.

2020 Château du Cèdre Cahors ‘Heritage’, Cahors France

Cahors is the traditional home of Malbec, with winemaking going back to Roman times. Chateau du Cèdre are a leader in organics and this has lovely dark fruits and spice

2018 Château Cauhapé sec "Chante Vignes”, Jurançon France
FULL | DRY | STONEFRUIT
This beautiful region at the foothills of the Pyrenees grows ‘Petit’ and ‘Gros’ Manseng to make sweet and a small amount of dry wine. This is the best I’ve seen, and a rival for many more expensive styles. Nectarine and citrus, finishing dry.

2022 Domaine Metrat Chiroubles, Beaujolais France
MEDIUM | DRY | MULBERRY
From one of Beaujolais’ famous Crus, this Gamay is from a small family producer, made with traditional whole berry fermentation in large oak barrels, it has a fresh, red fruited palate, with a bit of tannic grip on the finish.

2022 Domaine Dupasquier Jacquère, Savoie France
MEDIUM | DRY | CITRUS
The Savoie is in the lower alpine regions near the Swiss border and produces unique varieties, of which Jacquère is a favourite. This wine has a mouthwatering character with a touch of viscosity and cleansing citrus finish.
