The l’Ancestrale is a natural sparkling wine made in the pétillant style. The fermentation starts in tank and the wine is then bottled while still fermenting (at around 18-20 grams sugar) and then finishes in the bottle without the addition of any sugar and using only the natural yeasts. Generous citrus notes, subtle hints of toasted almonds. Mineral and complex with a persistent foam.

80 % Grenache and 20% Syrah. Nice freshness in the nose with herbal and wild blackberry notes. The palate is fruity and spicy with wild raspberry, rosemary and thyme notes. This is a balanced, well-structured and mineral Rhone red.

Tasting notes:

Brilliant garnet red color. The nose reveals nice aromas of ripe fruits (strawberry, blackberry) with delicate coffee notes. Harmonious and elegant on the palate, offering a round structure, full of red and black berries.

Food matches:

Red meat, poultry, pasta and cheese.

Winemaking: Optimum ripeness of the grapes - de-stalking and crushing of the grapes – a part of the harvest benefits from a “flash détente” process to enhance an optimum level of color and fruity aromas – the other part follows a traditional alcoholic fermentation in vats with 2 rack and return per day.

Soil: Coming from different regions of the Languedoc (The Aude, the Herault and the Gard) where each offers a different type of soil (schist, marls, chalk and clay).
Climate: The hot and windy Mediterranean climate, along with the interesting diversity in the soils of these 3 areas, result in powerful and fruity wines.
Aging: Long maceration (3 weeks) with micro oxygenation before malolactic fermentation in vats to develop the color and to supple the tannins.

In the heart of the Bordeaux vineyard, Chateau Carbonneau is situated 20 kilometres from St Emilion and 35 kilometres from Bergerac. In a unique and idyllic setting, the chateau offers luxury accommodation and fine wines on the slopes of Pessac sur Dordogne.

Shortly after 1992, Wilfrid and Jacquie Franc de Ferriere inherited the property and began by replanting the vineyard with grape varieties typical of the Bordeaux region, especially Merlot which grows well on the slopes of Gensac. Thus began the revival of wine at Carbonneau. The Vineyard covers 15 hectares planted on the clay/limestone soils of the slopes of Gensac.

Château Rieussec’s Carmes de Rieussec is a Semillon dominant sweet wine from the Sauternais region of Graves, Bordeaux. The nose is jammy and complex with charming  marmalade notes. The palate is powerful and balanced, with great acidity complimenting notes of pineapple, honey and delicate spice. An excellent desert wine.

Peyrassol Croix Méditerranée Rouge 2022 offers a classic southern French blend, led by Merlot and Grenache with Mediterranean warmth and generosity. Aromas of ripe blackberry, plum and wild herbs are layered with black pepper and dried lavender. Gentle oak use adds hints of cedar, spice and subtle toast, supporting a supple palate with soft tannins and a smooth, savoury finish. A vibrant, easy-drinking Provençal red with balance and charm.

Its fresh and ripe blackcurrant nose is marked by aromas of spices. A frank, fresh and dense attack on the palate makes it a very delicious wine. Its beautiful length brings with it bewitching aromas of garrigue and reveals very sweet tannins. Powerful and pure in the mouth with a very elegant, fruity palate. Ready to drink, or even better with age.

Grapes: 60% Grenache, 40% Syrah

Terroir: Pebble soils from the Rhône.

Winemaking: Fermentation in stainless tank with temperature control, and aged in concrete.

From one of only 14 Cru Classé houses in Provence comes this delightful Syrah and Grenache rosé. Strawberries and citrus on the nose give way to a light, fragrant, fruity palate with hints of peach, violets and vanilla.

From the sun-soaked limestone terraces of Bandol, this powerful red captures the very soul of Provence. Château de Font Vive is a small, almost secret estate — no flashy marketing, just pure dedication to Mourvèdre and Grenache. In the glass, it’s an explosion of dark cherries, ripe plums, and blackberry, wrapped in peppery spice and Provençal herbs. Silky yet robust tannins give it a bold structure, while a long, warming finish leaves you craving the next sip. Whether you enjoy it now with a hearty lamb stew or cellar it for a decade, this is Bandol as it was meant to be — rich, authentic, unforgettable. If you’re looking for a wine that turns a meal into an occasion, this is it. 

Grape 85% Mourvèdre, 15% Grenache

This cheeky little quaffer has a fresh and fragrant nose of red fruits and toasty elments. The palate is supple and balanced with silky tannins and further notes of red fruit.

95% Malbec and 5% Merlot from Cahors in the south of France. This is a juicy and concentrated wine with ample fruit flavours. Notes of plums and cherries are supported by subtle spiciness and a distinct minerality. This is a great value wine from a lesser known appellation.

This certified organic French dry white is a field blend of Riesling, Sylvaner and Pinot Blanc, made from biodynamically grown grapes from the talented hand of Marcel Deiss. one of Alsace's most talented and ground breaking winemakers. 

Domaine Marcel Deiss is located in Bergheim, a small village nestling in the heart of the wine region of Alsace, equal distance from the northern and southern boundaries of the region. The current winemaker is Jean-Michel Deiss, who was born into a long-established family of wine growers, living at Bergheim since 1744.

Today he manages the domaine, which consists of 26 hectares (52 acres) of hillside vineyards spread over nine communes and approximately 20 kilometres.

The wines of Domaine Marcel Deiss have cult status with wine collectors and drinkers alike so we are thrilled to have a wide range of them back in store, only they are in limited supply, so if you're a fan or a curious newcomer, get in quick. 

The seemingly maverick wines of Domaine Marcel Deiss pay homage to historical field blends made in Alsace, France; a region steeped in controversial history between France and Germany, countries which have both fought and both won (and lost) ownership of this territory. This is why the wines in Alsace are made from grapes more commonly associated with Germany, such as this interesting white - a dry Muscat, Riesling, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir. 

This wine is made from vines planted in 1997 at a density of 2,000 per hectare on steep terraced, south facing slopes of shallow, granite soil. 

The grapes in this wine were hand picked, fermented with natural yeasts and aged for 12 months in large, ancient foudres.
