Roussillon
Domaine des Sarradels 2016 Al Canon
French White
Pear, pale orchard fruit and a gentle menthol note meet a lightly cloudy, textural white. Macabeo, Grenache Gris and Carignan Blanc from Roussillon bring a softly oxidative edge, subtle salinity and a faint natural spritz. The palate stays broad but restrained, with low-seeming acidity and a savoury finish. Serve cool with grilled fish, roast poultry, creamy vegetables or washed-rind cheese.
Domaine des Sarradels 2016 Bandolino Magnum 1.5 L
French Red
A Grenache and Mourvedre blend from Côtes Catalanes in Roussillon, this red is listed at 13.5 percent alcohol. The estate farms 9.5 hectares at Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet, using certified organic and biodynamic viticulture. Dry farming, hand harvesting and no added sulphur form part of the domaine's approach. Its total production is around 16,000 bottles a year.
Chapoutier 2019 Banyuls
French Dessert
Deep garnet colour leads into a generous fortified red with black cherry, raspberry and plum at the centre. Cocoa, dried herbs and a gentle savoury note add dimension, while bright acidity keeps the sweetness composed. The finish is smooth, persistent and lightly spiced. Serve cool with dark chocolate, blue cheese or a fruit tart.
