Ripe, textural and summery, they seem to have bottled early December. All those delicious afternoons that come with cantaloupe, stone fruit and an enriched freshness. A brilliant gift for the Gris-Chardonnay lovers in your life.

Domaine La Florane A Fleur Blanc White Blend 2023

Domaine La Florane Côtes du Rhône Grenache 2022

An annual favourite. If you’re reading this pick up the bottle before someone else does. Amazing with the special steaks you buy occasionally, It’s a bottle that impresses. Especially for the money. Think salted plum, fanning pepper and fine tannins, all floating down from the sky like some divine gift.

Domaine Les Genestas Cave D Estezargues Côtes du Rhône 2023

10 days in carbonic for just a little poppy mouthfeel. You’ll love all the deliciously juicy flow that seems coiled in a bendy twig of herbs. Chouette is Parisian for cool – seems relevant with Romain.

Romain Le Bars Nouveau Nez Grenache Cinsault 2023 NFD

One of our most reliably loved, southern Rhône producers. Each bottle makes dinner a little more chic and adds some earthy spice and a juicy handful of cranberries, blood plums, cherries, and blue fruits. It’s bold in flavour but kept sensible with tannin.

Pierre Amadieu Cotes du Rhone Rouge 2022

Things keep savoury and tight, even with a delightfully refreshing smidge of apricot, and there’s enough acidity to walk with bliss to the cheese fridge after scooping up this bottle.

Mas des Bressades Grenache Blanc 2022

A tiny, maman et papa Domaine that produces some of the best, old-vine Grenache in the region – vines are approaching 100 years in age. The result is a wine that’s bold with leathery plums, vibrant berries in the glass and savoury finish. It goes as well with beef as anything we offer.
