Languedoc
Château de La Liquière 2021 Les Amandiers Blanc Faugères
White flowers, bright citrus and fresh orchard fruit lead with an open, charming fragrance. The palate is delicate and clean, keeping its white-fruit core lively and gratifying rather than weighty. Early-morning hand harvesting and tank ageing preserve the vivid, pure profile, while the high, schist-grown site lends the finish a precise sense of place.
Lorgeril 2024 Voyageur Pinot Noir
Red cherry, raspberry and violet lead with a leafy touch of blackcurrant. The palate is supple and poised, layering bright red fruit over smooth tannins and balanced acidity. A discreet peppery note adds definition, while the finish remains fresh, gently savoury and impressively persistent for its light-footed frame.
Lorgeril 2023 L’Orangeraie Rosé 3 L Box
Pale, dry and lively, with strawberry, raspberry and pink grapefruit lifted by a light floral note. The palate is crisp and easy-moving, bringing juicy red fruit, fresh citrus and a clean mineral edge to a refreshing finish. Three litres make this rosé an easy favourite to keep ready for your patio, picnic or casual gathering; serve well chilled with salads, grilled salmon or Mediterranean vegetables.
Mas Gabinele 2015 Belandes Minervois
Medicinal herbs, liquorice and dark forest berries shape a savoury, distinctly southern French nose. The palate is juicy and well composed, with ripe balsamic tannins supporting Grenache and Syrah fruit rather than weighing it down. Dark berry depth, herbal freshness and a gently resinous note carry into a charming, persistent finish. Serve with lamb, cassoulet, grilled sausages or aged cheese.
Mas Gabinele 2020 Faugeres
Wild berries, rockrose and rosemary open into a warm, stony mineral note. The palate is rounded and smooth, with dark fruit carried by a savoury blend of Syrah, Carignan, Mourvedre and Grenache. Schist-grown freshness keeps the generous texture composed, while herbal detail lingers through the finish. Decant briefly and serve with lamb, cassoulet or grilled sausages.
Les Deesses Muettes 2024 Pinot Noir Saint-Guilhem-le-Desert
Bright and expressive, with red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry layered over leather, gentle earth and a cool mineral note. Blackberry adds depth without making the palate feel heavy, while restrained oak, vanilla and tobacco bring savoury detail. Fine acidity keeps the fruit clear through a smooth, composed finish. Serve slightly cool with roast poultry, mushrooms, veal or herb-led pasta.
Les Deesses Muettes 2024 Viognier Saint-Guilhem-le-Desert
Expressive and rounded, with melon, peach and pear joined by fresh citrus, orange and pineapple. A subtle creamy note gives the palate breadth without dulling its lift, while a quiet stony edge keeps the finish composed. Serve well chilled with grilled prawns, roast chicken, creamy vegetable dishes or soft cheese; it also works beautifully as a generous aperitif.
Pennautier 2024 Viognier Pays D’Oc
Delicate peach and tropical fruit lead a softly fragrant nose, with gentle floral detail adding lift. Full-bodied yet light on its feet, the palate is round and smooth, while fresh acidity keeps the ripe fruit focused. A clean, lively finish brings welcome energy. Serve with grilled fish, shellfish, roast chicken or soft cheeses.
