Chateau Ferry Lacombe, Haedus, Cotes de Provence Blanc, 2024
Located in the shadow of the Mont Sainte-Victoire, made famous by Cézanne’s series of post-impressionist paintings, this family-owned domaine make some of our best-selling rosés This year we were so impressed by one of their white cuvees we just had to ship it. Excellent concentration and depth with zesty lime and flat peach fruit kept in check by a taut mineral backbone. Long and impressive, it will be delicious with seafood. Now-2026

Chateau Ferry Lacombe, Equinoxe, Cotes de Provence Rose, 2024
Sainte-Victoire is one of the top 'Crus' in the Côtes de Provence and this is very smart rosé which blew us away when we tasted it in Paris back in February. Hints of strawberry, nectarine, cream and pastry with a definite mineral undertow. Very elegant with lots of energy. Now-2027

Mas des Brousses, Cleo, Terasses de Larzac, 2023
"Incredible purity of squashed strawberries and red plum. Fresh acidity meets silky, fine tannins for a seductive finish. A wine that’s flowing and elegant, combining concentration with a moreish and delectable charm. 94/100”, Decanter,October 2024. Now-2028

L'Estabel, Le Grand Pan, Cabrieres Rouge, 2022
60% Syrah and 30% Grenache with small doses of Carignan, Mourvèdre and Cinsault completing the blend. Fun and forward with warm baked red fruits, sweet spice and rounded, dry tannins on the finish. A step up in seriousness from the Fulcrand, it will stand up well to some slow braised lamb shanks. Now-2028

Chateau de la Liquiere, Faugeres Rouge, Tarroussel, 2021
We always taste the full range of François's top cuvées and choose the best one for this offer. Tarroussel was a unanimous choice this year. Based on unoaked 80 year old Grenache, it has generous candied red fruit. Long and bright with pink peppercorn spice and a hint of umami. Fabulous. Now - 2031

Carignan
Carignan is the grape which really distinguishes the red wines of the Languedoc and Roussillon from those of the southern Rhône (in the latter Grenache is ubiquitous and dominant, and Syrah and Mourvèdre are the preferred blending grapes).
It has been a much maligned grape. For example Jancis Robinson’s Oxford Companion to Wine thunders: "Carignan,...
