Mommessin Grandes Mises Beaujolais Blanc
At Cigalus, to craft premium wines in the South of France, Gérard Bertrand has opted for organic methods, a system of living vine- growing which enhances the expression of the terroir and the unique characteristics of the grape varieties in the best plots of the estate. All the work in the vineyard ploughing and pruning and in the cellars is driven by a calendar based on two celestial objects: the moon and the sun. The Indomptable de Cigalus Blanc, produced from a blend of chardonnay, viognier and sauvignon blanc, has a beautiful shiny and limpid golden yellow colour. The intense and complex nose reveals notes of grapefruit, white peach, honey and dried fruit with toasty hints. The palate is full and silky, ripe, with notes of vanilla, butter and exotic fruits.

Château Cres Ricards Oenothera
This Estate was created in 1960, at the place known as Crès Ricards, in the village of Ceyras. In 2010 Jean-Claude Mas acquired the 27 ha (69 acres) belonging to the Château, extending the estate to 42 ha in 2013. He was fascinated by the fantastic terroir of the Terrasses du Larzac, which produces silky wines with intense flavors. At the foot of Mont Baudile, 35 km to the west of Montpellier, this vineyard offers a unique geography. Yields are low because of the strict grape selection and carbonic maceration is used to produce generous wines. Made from 70% Syrah and 30% Grenache and matured in new and older French oak for 10 months. The wine is at once full bodied and fresh, with notes of intense black currant, black cherry and mocha gliding to a silky, rich finish.
