importer notes Produced from Colombard and Picpoul grapes planted on ancient terraces called ‘Costières’ - overlooking the Thau lagoon and the Mediterranean sea. Intense aromas of citrus fruit, ripe exotic fruit and fresh verbena. Ample, generous and well-balanced on the palate with refreshing lemon and litchi flavors.

producer notes - The first of four Minervois cuvées, this one brought up in tank. A terrific buy for a true vin de terroir. In this wine is all the garrigue underbrush of the high Minervois, laced with high-toned blueberry notes and underpinned by Carignan's tarry black notes. Yearly production averages 3,300 cases. Even split Carignan and Grenache, 5% Syrah.

87 points Wine Enthusiast - From the village of Cruet, this wine is intensely refreshing and fruity. Pure citrus flavors shine through the crisp texture and give great lift and freshness at the end. Drink now.

The 2018 Domaine Haut-Marin la Marina Cuvèe Oceane Côtes de Gascogne is a white wine made by Domaine Haut Marin from Côtes de Gascogne produced with sauvignon blanc, gros manseng and colombard from the 2019 vintage.

Full-bodied, bold, spicy red; dark fruit flavours and excellent structure with fine tannins. Maubernard's Bandol is very reasonably priced for such a complex, potentially long-lived wine. Predominantly Mourvèdre, with 10% Grenache from Bandol, Provence's best red wine appellation. Good to drink on release but can age and improve for 10 years. Try it with big-scale roasts - venison or wild duck -...

This Chardonnay is very versatile and can add a refreshing touch during the summer when warmer months call for lighter-styled, crisper wines. Opens with a zesty bouquet of lemon/lime, fresh peach and minerality. The acidity accents the fresh, zesty flavors and it finishes cleanly with accents of green apples on the back end.

Great value Provence style Rose! A very light, shiny salmon-pink rose. A very expressive bouquet revealing aromas of fresh red fruit and strawberry. Fine, fresh and elegant on the palate, a perfect balance. 30% Cinsault, 70% Grenache.

93 Points - Jeb Dunnuck. “A blend of 74% Syrah and 26% Grenache that was brought in a mix of tank and used barrels, the 2017 Bastide Miraflors has a fabulous minerality as well as terrific kirsch, black raspberry, wild fennel, white pepper, and hints of black licorice aromas and flavors. Pure, medium to full-bodied, silky, and seamless on the palate, it’s perfectly balanced, and way...

This wine is characterized by combined aromas of citrus and white peach. The “Père et Fils” Chardonnay Viognier is a delicious introduction to the unique flavours of the Viognier. The influence of the early-picked, unoaked Chardonnay is evident on the palate with lemons and white fruit notes. Rich apricot fruit on the finish. 65% Chardonnay, 35% Viognier

Natural winemaking from organic farmers around France. This is a white blend of Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chenin Blanc. The Sauvingon Blanc and Chenin Blanc are fermented on the skins for extra texture and complexity. ‘Les Equilibristes’ means tightrope walkers, and it’s that gravity-defying sense of balance that Florent and Francois aim to achieve. Francois de Monval is a merchant...

2016 - 86 pts. Wine Enthusiast This shows the soft, juicy side of Malbec. No serious tannins here, just red berry fruit and fine acidity. That means it's ready to drink now.

winery notes - The 2017 Red is a deep and grand wine of remarkable scale. Its elegance creates a fine balance with the light on the frame and silhouette, making it seem more like a Gothic cathedral than a Romanesque church. On the nose, black fruit and sweet spices are present, but it is recommended to store the wine for a few years so it can reach its full potential.

100% Pinot Noir Producer notes Pinot Noir with a dark ruby color. Dominant flavors of fresh cherry, with a hint of toasted spice and cumin. Nice weight in the mid palate with soft tannin sand silky, cherry-stones flavors on the finish.
