Ruby colour with a bouquet of cherries, spicy oak and a floral top note. A fuller style of red Burgundy, ripe with gentle tannins; age-worthy, already showing an excellent aging potential.
Ruby-purple colour with a nose of raspberries, oak spice and a note of lavender. Full and silky on the palate with opulent mid-palate flavours of black fruits and liquorice, pure and pretty — a wine that will last for a decade and longer.
Pale straw color. Restrained nose of McIntosh apples, spice and stone fruits. Medium-bodied, tastes of citrus and pineapple. Could use a little more acidity.
The cheerful period travel–poster label is very appropriate for this easy-to-like, generously flavoured fruity wine. A blend of Grenache Blanc and Vermentino with a splash of Chardonnay and Sauvignon, it presents aromatic ripe yellow fruit with floral scents and flavours of mango, melon and peach. Pair with Mediterranean-style appetizers.
A blend of Grenache Blanc, Chasan, Vermentino and Sauvignon grown in the Aude Valley of Languedoc, this one opens with an array of warmly scented yellow fruits and floral and light herbal overtones. Ripe grapefruit kicks in on the palate together with lemon, honeydew melon and gravelly mineral. Finish has touch of bitter grapefruit contrasted with a honeyed lemon note. Generously fruity, undemanding, but enjoyable wine.
Winter may be setting in but this serious rosé, made with Grenache, Cinsault and Mourvèdre, is an all-season pink wine. Light raspberry, summer herbs, grapefruit and watermelon aromas jump from the glass. It’s complex, completely dry and opens up in the glass to reveal a bounty of red fruits, citrus and herbs. Bold enough to serve with salmon steaks.
Looking for something different in the way of a white wine? Try this blend of Grenache Blanc, Viognier and Clairette. The wine is deep straw in colour with a spicy, tropical fruit nose and a floral note. Richly extracted peach and melon flavours fill the mouth with a star anise finish. Good mouthfeel. Good value.
