Le Chat Noir Rosé
The Aude Valley, stretching between Carcassonne and the Pyrenees in extreme south of France is similar in climate and Limestone soil to the Loire Valley. The high altitude and cooling evening breezes creates wines with varietal character, acidity and freshness. This wine by Le Chat is very pale pink in colour, sitting well within the classic Provence pale and dry spectrum. The nose is aromatic and sweetly perfumed with aromas of strawberries and rose petals. The palate is a revelation compared to previous vintages, elegant and effortless with light berry and candied fruit drop flavours lingering long on a soft, dry finish.

Belle Nature Pinot Noir
This Pinot Noir comes from French vineyards on clay-limestone soils. The climate is hot with maritime influences (cold and humid nights) and therefore, the vines never miss water. The vines are cultivated with the greatest care to preserve Mother Nature and the yields are low. This wine is produced from organically grown grapes (chemical pesticides or fertilizers are strictly forbidden in the vineyards) and is certified by ECOCERT. It displays a lovely crimson shade within a light colour typical of the grape variety. Expressive and characteristic aromas of red and blue berries (raspberry, grenadine, blueberry). The light touch of oak is well integrated and complemented by a hint of menthol and rhubarb. The wine is round, velvety and well-balanced on entry to the palate, with a nice acid structure responsible for the finesse and elegance of the Pinot Noir. It finishes with elegant, fresh and spicy tannins and a lovely luscious sweetness.
Cabalié
Château Le Coin Bordeaux
This glorious, 91pt, FIVE-time Gold-medal claret comes from Ludovic Roussillon – who also co-owns a small property with the Thienpont family of legendary (and extraordinarily expensive) Château Le Pin. Bordeaux is where our story began 40 years ago...So we’ve plenty of friends, like Ludovic. His Château lies across the river from our exclusive cellar Le Chai au Quai. The soils here are rich in limestone and quick draining, which concentrates the rich flavours of the grapes. The result here is a lavishly rich and expressive wine that definitely impresses. We love it!
Le Prince de Courthézon Côtes du Rhône
As close as you get to genuine Châteauneuf power – and with a Gold medal pedigree too, winning Gold for the last eight vintages. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre are the three mainstays of this champion that boasts layers of velvety ripe black fruit, liquorice and spicy complexity. It's from the only co-operative cellar in Châteauneuf du Pape, the top appellation of the southern Rhône, and is owned and run by local growers. The grapes are from vineyards that abut the famous name appellation and share the same stone strewn soil that promotes superb ripeness and richness of fruit. The vines are old and gnarled, producing few grapes but with rare concentration of flavour. It's made by Châteauneuf winemaker Thierry Ferlay ... and it's very, very good!
