Languedoc-Roussillon

There’s something very complete about our annual offer of wines from the Languedoc and Roussillon: with whites, rosés and reds, and wonderful fortified wines, the Vins Doux Naturels which are such a speciality of the region, there should be something for all tastes. Secondly, there are wines for every budget; at every level we believe these wines continue to offer terrific...

Grenache / Garnacha

Grenache / Garnacha 

Grenache grows well in hot, dry regions, though it can develop very high (15 degrees+) alcohol.

As such it is grown principally in Southern France and Spain (as Garnacha). It is usually blended with other varieties in the Southern Rhône and Languedoc (Syrah, Mourvedre, Carignan, Cinsaut and others).

Its flavour usually encompasses the...

We get super excited when Jancis Robinson (or one of her team) write about our wine!

Voted the world's most influential wine critic in polls in the US, France and internationally in 2018, Jancis views herself as a wine writer rather than a wine critic.

She writes daily for JancisRobinson.com and weekly for the Financial Times. She is founder-editor of The Oxford Companion...

"Transparent crimson. Sweet start and lots of pleasure and saline interest already though with some tannic undertow. Good for now and the future!" 16.5/20, Drink 2023-2028, Jancis Robinson MW, May 2023

"Full bottle 1,312 g. Certified Ecocert organic. 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre, no oak.
Smells of tinned strawberries, peppermint and prunes stewed in tea. In the mouth, it’s damson jam and white pepper on toast. The tannins have the delicate tug of cold-brew tea, and they’re wrapped in swathes of fine-gauze tea-soaked fruit that has a cooked-red-fruit profile but is deeply savoury at heart. A beautiful expression of La Clape" 16.5/20, Tamlyn Currin, 1st Sept 2022, www.jancisrobinson.com

This is a blend of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre and is organically certified. The warmth of the beautiful South really shines through in this wine. Unoaked, it is a celebration of silky black fruit flavours, blackberries, and black cherry, with just a little spice on the finish. A truly joyous wine. Now-2025

Order arrived promptly as always. Using the catalogue and range of offers, encourages choice of interesting and enjoyable wines I probably wouldn't have chosen if buying from a supermarket.

They are very clever at finding wines from the less fashionable parts of France that are as good as, if not better than, those from the fashionable parts at a fraction of the price. Also charming to…
