Domaine Bonnet-Huteau "Perles d’Agathe" NV

Raise a glass to tradition, and sparkling delight

Dive into the holiday spirit with Domaine Bonnet-Huteau's "Perles d’Agathe" NV, a sparkling rosé that embodies the essence of celebration.

Le Ballon “Le Ballon” Red 2021

Elegance from southern France's terroir

Cultivated over volcanic and gravel soils, this exquisite blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, and Cinsault strikes a perfect balance between intensity and delicacy. Revel in the flavours unique to this terroir, as you experience a red wine that captures the essence of the region with unparalleled freshness.

 

Domaine Duseigneur Côtes-du-Rhône Villages "Odyssée" 2020

A journey of flavours without the oak illusion

Embark on a sensory journey with Domaine Duseigneur's "Odyssée" 2020, a Grenache Syrah blend that showcases elegance and smoothness. While the peppery notes from Syrah might suggest oak ageing, the winemakers have skilfully deceived, relying solely on concrete. The result is a wine that harmoniously balances power and finesse, proving that sometimes, less is indeed more.

 

Domaine Bonnet-Huteau Muscadet "Les Bonnets Blanc" 2022

Muscadet magic: a symphony of freshness and texture

Elevate your holiday feasts with Domaine Bonnet-Huteau's Muscadet "Les Bonnets Blanc" 2022, where the Melon de Bourgogne grape takes centre stage. Known for its refreshing acidity, this wine surprises with a rounded texture, thanks to six months of lees ageing. Pair it with goats' cheese salad or crudités for a culinary experience that transcends expectations.

 

Cros des Calades Béline 2022

Harmony in a glass: Viognier and Roussanne unite

Unveil a masterpiece with Cros des Calades Béline 2022, a direct press of Viognier and Roussanne, two iconic grapes from southern France.

Sip and savour the harmony of these lower acid grapes, and let the aromatic profile transport you to the sun-soaked vineyards of the south.
