  • NEW WAVE FRENCH WINE, COMBINING FRENCH REGIONAL CHARACTER WITH NEW WORLD ACCESSIBILITY

Vineyard Notes

The grapes selected from low yielding vines, come from the areas of Carcassonne and the Minervois, in association with Celliers Jean d'Alibert.

Winemaking Notes

The two varieties were vinified separately. Both went through a period of cold soak. Fermentation on skins lasted two weeks prior to pressing. There was very limited use of press wine.

Tasting Notes

The blend of rich blackcurranty Cabernet and brambley, gently peppery Syrah makes this a very distinctive wine. The vanilla character of the oak is present but subtle and the tannins are softer than in many Cabernets. A very luxurious drink; silky & satisfying.

Food Style

Good with a range of red meat dishes but its soft fruity character makes this an attractive wine to drink by itself.

Les Reserves Rouge Key Facts

Vineyard Notes

The grapes, selected in association with Celliers Jean d’Alibert, from low yielding vines, they come from some of Languedocs highest altitude and oldest limestone vineyards.

Winemaking Notes

The whole bunches went through 3-4 weeks maceration carbonique in a sealed tank beneath a layer of CO2. Pressing took place before the end of alcoholic fermentation; then aged in French oak.

Tasting Notes

The Syrah gives the soft, rich dark bramble fruit with some white pepper, while the Grenache contributes some cherry and strawberry character and some additional spice. These flavors are complemented by subtle vanilla & coee notes from the oak casks. The brilliantly presentend wine is the richest and most complex of all the Grand Noir wines and the one many serve at special dinners or to oer as a gift.

Food Style

Perfect with all rich meat dishes, including beef, lamb and game such as venison and pheasant.

  • FROM ONE OF THE OLDEST WINE REGIONS IN FRANCE (THE ROMANS MADE WINE HERE)

Vineyard Notes

The grapes, selected from low yielding vines, come from the areas of Carcassonne and the Minervois, in association with Celliers Jean d’Alibert.

Winemaking Notes

The Chardonnay and Colombard grapes were picked at optimum aromatic ripeness, then briefly cold macerated. The grapes were then pressed and only then was the clear juice racked and fermented at temperatures between 18-20 degrees centigrated to avoid yeast characters. Once dry, the wine was racked o lees in order to keep freshness. The wine then underwent a secondary fermentation in bottle and remained on lees in bottle for 6 months.

Tasting Notes

Green, yellow colour, with greenish background, elegant CO2 bubble fizzy. Fairly intense aromas of yellow fruit and with great complexity, with soft hints of good ageing and lees. Dry & fresh in the mouth, due to its appropriate acidity and pleasant carbonic content, balanced and juicy.

Food Style

To be drunk by itself, or with a wide range of dishes.

  • The first and still one of the only blends of this kind to be produced in the region

Vineyard Notes

Years of experience have allowed us to identify those Languedoc vineyards, where the Sauvignon grape displays its most intense characters.

Winemaking Notes

The grapes were cold macerated then pressed, cold settled before fermentation. A small amount of Marsanne added richness and complexity.

Tasting Notes

The blending of a little Marsanne in with the Sauvignon has made this a very interesting wine with a refreshingly grassy green fig, papaya and lychee notes to go with the characteristic Sauvignon capsicum gooseberry flavours.

Food Style

Great by itself or to accompany all fish and white meat dishes. Will work especially well with seafood. Delicious by itself.

  • From some of the best Viognier vineyards in the region
  • Great with food or by itself
  • Unusual blend that adds a note of Chardonnay freshness to the floral, exotic Viognier
  • NEW WAVE FRENCH WINE, COMBINING FRENCH REGIONAL CHARACTER WITH NEW WORLD ACCESSIBILITY
  • The first and still one of the only blends of this kind to be produced in the region
  • FROM ONE OF THE OLDEST WINE REGIONS IN FRANCE (THE ROMANS MADE WINE HERE)

Vineyard Notes

We have selected vineyards in the area of Carcassonne and the Minervois based on grape flavour and yield. The wines are produced and bottled in association with Celliers Jean d'Alibert.

Winemaking Notes

The grapes were cold macerated then pressed, cold settled before fermentation. No malolactic fermentation took place.

Tasting Notes

Viogniers are often over-oaked. We wanted our wine to display the floral, exotic of this grape and it was crucial that it would be a great accompaniment to food. So we added 15% Chardonnay grapes to the blend, giving the wine extra freshness, and to go with its delightful mango and apricot flavours. The wine saw no oak. A truly classy example of this variety.

Food Style

Great with oriental food, by itself or with all fish and white meat dishes.

Les Reserves Blanc Key Facts

Vineyard Notes

We have selected vineyards in the classic areas of the Minervois where the Marsanne performs at its best. The wines are produced and bottled in association with Celliers Jean d'Alibert.

Winemaking Notes

The grapes were cold macerated then pressed, cold settled before fermentation. 30% were fermented in French oak barrels, and remained on lees in barrel, with some stirring, for six months.

Tasting Notes

This is an unusually perfumed example of white wine from this region, with a creamy texture, appley, limey fruit and a lovely hint of floral perfume. The oak is subtly in the background.

Food Style

Freshly enjoyable by itself, this is perfect seafood wine but has enough character to match light red meat dishes.

Tasting Notes

Chardonnays come in many styles, from light and minerally to rich, buttery and oaky. We wanted to make a Chardonnay that was satisfying, yet fresh, and with a sufficiently interesting flavour to capture the imagination. From the outset, it was crucial that it would be a great accompaniment to food. This is a fresh, pine-appley wine, with a subtle hint of oak and a touch of mango and ginger

Food Style

Great by itself or to accompanyall fish and white meat dishes. Will work well with oriental food.

Winemaking Notes

The wine went through a period of cold soak. Fermentation on skins lasted 2 weeks prior to pressing. There was very limited use of press wine.

Tasting Notes

Deeply coloured, soft, plummy and cherryish, with hints of violet. The use of oak is deliberately light to maintain the fruity, easy drinkability of the wine. A great marriage of the fruity appeal of Argentine Malbec with the subtler, more structured and mineral-noted examples from Cahors in France.

Food Style

Perfect with all full-flavoured meat dishes, and is as ideal with traditional French cuisine as more international dishes.

Pinot Noir Key Facts

  • Great with food or by itself.
  • NEW WAVE FRENCH WINE, COMBINING FRENCH REGIONAL CHARACTER WITH NEW WORLD ACCESSIBILITY
  • FROM ONE OF THE OLDEST WINE REGIONS IN FRANCE (THE ROMANS MADE WINE HERE)

Vineyard Notes

From the coolest area (Limoux) of the South of France influenced by the fact that it is:
– Situated at the foothill of the Pyrenees rising to 400 meters above sea level
– Sea breezes both from the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean

Strong viticulture control: starting with defined Clone selection aimed at obtaining low yields, good canopy management helping produce ripeness. The rows are grassed down to avoid excessive vigour. In tourist terms, Limoux is considered the Tuscany of the South of France.

Winemaking Notes

Made in a very Burgundian manner. The whole bunches went through a period of cold soak. Fermentation on skins lasted 2 weeks prior to pressing. There was Burgundian-style manual punch-down to break up the cap and maximise colour. Very little press wine was used.

Tasting Notes

A very distinctive and immediately enjoyable Pinot Noir, this is a very juicy, raspberryish, cherryish wine with hints of strawberry and oak and a refreshing note of pepper.

Food Style

Great by itself or to accompany a wide range of meat dishes, but could also be enjoyed with fish such as tuna or salmon.
Serving note: Would be good slightly chilled, especially in warm weather.
