Latitude is a 100% Côte de Blancs Chardonnay, predominantly grown, as it always has been, in vineyards on the southern side of Vertus. These are vineyards on roughly the same

Château Lascombes was a small property by Bordeaux standards up until 1951, which then grew to beyond its means until the most recent ownership change which has seen better fruit selection and a creation of a second label to produce an estate wine of purity and concentrated flavours. Using the talents of Dr Alain Reynaud and Michel Rolland the wines continue to impress in recent years, namely this spectacular 2009 vintage which is proving to be one of the greatest vintages in the past 100. Even at this early stage the Lascombes looks superb with balance between power and opulence treading a near perfect line.

This terrific white from the south of France displays all the characters of Sauvignon Blanc. The Arrogant Frog has lLifted aromas of gooseberry and passionfruit flow onto the palate and the finish is crisp and clean.

Château Martinolles Limoux is bright gold in colour. On the nose - complex with tropical fruit aromas, oak, brioche and toast. To taste, full-bodied rich and creamy notes. Elegant with a long toasty finish and best served with seafood, white meat in creamy sauce or as an aperitif.

Le Sauvignon Blanc by Paul Mas is the quintessential South of France experience where warm dry growing seasons lead to perfectly ripe grapes and gorgeously seductive wines. Vigneron Jean Claude Mas has worked assiduously to build a vineyard empire using organic and sustainable practices. A disciple of precision winemaking practices he employs the latest in technology to preserve natural fruit characters and linear freshness. The sauvignon blanc grapes are picked at optimum ripeness and cool-vinified at Domaine Paul Mas, near Pezenas in the Languedoc. Typically, this vibrant and juicy wine is pale coloured with intense grapefruit, lime, herb garden, camomile aromas, lovely fresh grapefruit, tropical fruit, lemon curd flavours, fine lacy textures and superb cutting acidity. The silk screened flower bottle neatly captures and sells the floral aromatics and prettiness of the wine. This is very much a warmer climate style with plenty of expression, freshness and flavour. Enjoy as a sundowner or pair with summer salads, roast chicken or pork, or seafood dishes.

LArtisan Sauvignon Blanc is a delicious fruit-driven wine with expressive tropical fruit, limes citrus aromas, ample tropical fruit, lemon curd flavours, supple textures and juicy acidity. The grapes are grown in the undulating landscape of the Languedoc Roussillon region. Warm sunny growing conditions are moderated by cooler nights. The fresh Tramontone breeze which blows in a south-easterly direction, carries dry cold air from the Atlantic Ocean across the vineyards and acts like an air conditioner in the Summer heat. Minimal-intervention and organic principles are employed in the vineyards and cool fermentation techniques promote varietal aromatics, suppleness and clarity of fruit. Jean Claude Mas has created a modern style that brings the latest in technology but also reflects the artisanal nature of viticulture and wine making. The brand motif harks back to childhood times when Jean Claude Mas took out his mothers moped into the vineyards and forest tracks around his home. LArtisan Sauvignon Blanc is a great stand-alone aperitif wine, or pair with summer salads, grilled chicken, bouillabaisse, BBQ prawns and grilled white fish.

Unusual and elegant wine... A 100% unfiltered Syrah, not aged in barrels, a pure and clean juice. This wine is named after François Massol's parents, the chief winemaker at Domaine de Sauzet. Pure and raw, this powerful red wine is the perfect expression of the Languedoc Syrah. The nose remind liquorice and black pepper. On the palate we have silky tannin and black fruits with a long aftertaste.

Elegant and harmonious, this wine is a very singular expression of the calcareous terroir of north-western Minervois. The calcareous soils characterize the wines with blackcurrant aromas combined with redcurrants, vanilla, and chocolate leading into a silky smooth palate, with the hedonism of dark chocolate held in check by an undertow of fresh minerality. The finish is long and complex.

Perfumed yet savory on the nose and medium to medium-full bodied on the palate, with aromas of fresh apricots and honeyed beeswax, as it is made from Marsanne. This wine is somewhat exotic and is famously paired with local cheeses in their home Minervois region of western Languedoc in southern France.
