French Wine

Deeply coloured, smooth and structured Gamay from Morgon in northern Beaujolais. Aromas and flavors of stone fruit and especially cherry are present, becoming kirsch as the wine ages.

Full bodied, complex, dry as a bone made in a delicious modern, lively style of French Riesling with refreshing lime and green apple aromas supported by bright acidity and a waxy texture. This wine is made with grapes grown an 25 year old vines on a vineyard originally planted in the 17th Century at Rouffach in Alsace. This most eastern wine region in France was once part of Germany, hence Riesling is one of the key wines made here, and the Mure family have retained ownership of their vineyard and brand for 12 generations now. 

Legal academic, property dealer and vigneron, Rene Rostaing crafts some of the finest Cote Roties on the market today. He has owned 2 hectares in the Côte Blonde and La Landone since the 1970s but fortune has blessed him through his inheritance of four hectares of superbly sited vineyards from his father in law Albert Dervieux and another 1.4 hectares of particularly old vines from his uncle Marius Gentaz. He now has 7.4 hectares which in Cote Rotie terms is a significant holding. Rostaing is firmly in the modernist camp of Cote Rôtie producers, destemming the majority of his fruit and being one of the first producers to ferment using vinomatics (horizontal automatic vinifiers). However he dislikes the overt taste of new oak and uses a maximum of 15% in the maturation process. All the wines are bottled unfiltered.

A light ruby colour in the glass with gentle red berry and subtle earthy aromas on the nose. On the palate the wine is light with an elegant and refined mouthfeel and gentle red fruits flavours. Precise winemaking resulting in quality Pinot Noir.

Rolet is regarded as one of the top producers of the Jura region in eastern France, situated between Burgundy and Switzerland. This area is best known for its quirky vin jaune styles of wine, made under a veil of flor yeast. Similar to sherry but with very different flavours.

This wine is made from the region's flagship indigenous grape, Savagnin, which is a very old, genetically important grape variety - DNA profiling shows it to be a parent of Chenin Blanc, Gruner Veltliner, Sauvignon Blanc, Silvarner and Trousseau. The term ouille refers to a gentler process of production with less oxidation and no flor growth during the production of the wine resulting in a fruit forward appley expression of the grape. 

Variety is the spice of life - this medium bodied red wine comes from a quirky region in France, namely Jura, situated between Burgundy and Switzerland. 

Rolet Arbois Rouge is made from Trousseau, a dark skinned grape that's indigenous to Jura. 

Domaine Rolet is considered one of the flagship wines of the Jura d?partement, a wine region located between Burgundy and Switzerland. This region's cool climate wine region expresses itself in a range of white and red grapes that typically enjoy cooler climates. The most planted grapes in the region are Chardonnay  and Savagnin; a specialty to this area, which has traditionally been vinified under a veil of yeast, not unlike the aging of sherry but with quite different results in terms of aromas and flavour, which can be complex, savoury and nutty. The main red grapes in Jura are Poulsard, Trousseau and Pinot Noir.

This wine is a Vin Jaune; an oxidative style of wine from this region, made under the veil of yeast indigenous to Jura. This is a very good quality example of the style and bottled in a 620ml bottle, traditionally know as a clavelin.

Located in Les Arcs-Sur-Argens 30 minutes from Saint-Tropez, Cannes, & the Gorges du Verdon, the vineyards of Château Sainte-Roseline are situated on an exceptional site of clay-limestone soils where an underground spring allows for ideal irrigation levels. In 1955, it received the "Cru Classe" designation. Today, the “AOP Cru Classe Côtes-de-Provence” vineyard extends over 110 hectares and grows 11 grape varieties, thus allowing the production of rose, white and red wines.

This wine is a negociant wine made with a blend of wines coming from various estate wines using Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah.  A beautiful salmon pink with delicate red fruits and berry flavours. Will pair nicely with fish, BBQ fair and white meats.  

Chateau Roubine is one of the oldest wine estates in France and has been making wine since the 14th Century in Provence in the south east. The property was awarded with the cru classe title in 1953 by the French Ministry of Agriculture. 

The bottle this rose is in today reflects the chateau's long history and is printed with the Templar coat of arms, featuring a dragon and lion protected by the sun's rays. The vineyard is planted in 13 different grape varieties and this is a dry, light bodied, refreshing Mediterranean rose.
