The South of France remains a very exciting place in which to make wine. Here producers are not bound by all the red tape and rules governing strict usage of certain grape varieties that tends to prevail in many other areas of the country.
The result is an array of interesting and characterful wines that are great for early drinking and often display great individuality and flavour.
The southern France mixed case offer for March is at the discounted case price of £72 (normal price £85).
Includes three bottles of each of the following four wines:
Domaine de Maubet Sauvignon/Colombard 2010, Gascony
An excellent and interesting blend in which the Sauvignon Blanc adds freshness and the Colombard full fruit to the wine. Very fresh, fruit driven and extremely drinkable wine.
Domaine Gayda Flying Solo Grenache Blanc/Viognier 2010, Languedoc
A really clean example of these increasingly popular grape varieties which has classic flavours of peach and tropical fruits. Very refreshing with delightfully floral fruit.
Les Terraces Merlot/Grenache 2010, Ardeche
Classic French regional red with hints of spice and well rounded redcurrant and raspberry fruit. Ideal with pork and white meats. Cabernet Sauvignon Lorgeril 2010, Vin de Pays d’Oc
A stunning alternative to Bordeaux, this is a remarkably well made Cabernet that has touches of cedar and full blackcurrant fruit – delicious and stunning value for money!
