Description Savour a fresh, pure Rhône Grenache made by Thierry Ferlay, Merlot-rich Bordeaux from Ludovic Roussillon, one of the top viticulteurs in Bordeaux’s Entre-Deux-Mers, and a second small estate classic from 2020. "Tasting the 2020s was a real joy." writes Jancis Robinson MW. We think you'll agree. From France’s deep south enjoy a pure seductive and velvety black fruit-laced Syrah, and a very classy Syrah blend from Mas de Daumas Gassacs, today now known as the one true ‘Grand Cru’ of France's south. Cabalié Vieilles Vignes, a luxurious old vine Grenache based blend rounds off the case, which includes five Gold winners.
Rich, southern Rhône red from an award-winning Châteauneuf winemaker and a high-quality vintage. The cellar for this wine is in prestigious Châteauneuf, and the vineyards are just next door. Ripe and luscious Grenache, it’s all juicy fruit and spice.
Pure Syrah is rarely found in the wines of the Languedoc Roussillon, it's usually reserved for the pricy reds of the northern Rhône.
Writer Hugh Johnson called the Gassac estate "a Château Lafite Rothschild in Languedoc", while Robert Parker described them as "exceptional." Pensée is an exclusive cuvée for us, with juicy ripe black fruit, herbal hints and a touch of oak.
A wine from Ludovic Roussillon, the winemaker behind the generous ripe fruit and velvety tannins of Château Le Coin. In Moulin du Prieur, you’ll find the same appealing style. The 2021 vintage is packed with creamy blackberry, plum and spice notes.
There's certainly no shortage of well-structured, velvety ripe fruit and depth in this appealing 2020 from an ideally situated estate in the Entre-Deux-Mers.
Seriously intense Carignan gives a boost of inky dark fruit to spicy red-berry Grenache. “Nose of black fruits with white pepper and liquorice touches. Silky, solid attack driven by stewed fruits. A great wine...” (Gold medal, Gilbert & Gaillard).
