South of France Reds Case

A deeply coloured, fruity and balanced Languedoc red, with a savoury finish. Neighbouring Minervois and the city of Carcassonne, Cabardès is unusual in the Languedoc for its choice of grape varieties from Bordeaux as well as more traditional varieties. All thrive in a region where Mediterranean and Atlantic influences combine.

Great-value grenache-syrah blend from the foothills of the Massif Central in southern France, packed with ripe tasting, juicy fruit.

Dark and brimming with hedgerow fruit and a touch of spice, this is a full-bodied wine from the rugged landscape of the Corbières in the south of France. Carignan is the principal element in the blend, which also includes grenache and syrah. An excellent choice for a wide variety of foods.

From well-sited vines in the Lot Valley, this is always a sound benchmark wine for Cahors. The blend is 80% malbec with 20% merlot which creates the right balance. A wine that has structure yet roundness, too, with lovely ripe gentle brambly fruit and good length in the hot and dry 2022 vintage.

The 2024 vintage marks a return to the classic Laborie blend of carignan and grenache, with a splash of merlot adding suppleness. Brilliant value southern French red delivering fresh, uncomplicated fruit and soft tannins.

A pinot to delight the senses: fresh, round and fruity with a hint of cherry and plenty of charm. Best drunk a little cool. Much of it is sourced from around Limoux, which works well in years of heatwaves.
