This great value white from Rhône Valley seduces with its velvety, round flavours. A rather rare, but superb blend dominated by Viognier (91%), with some white Grenache (6%) and Roussanne (3%). The intense nose exudes ripe orchard fruits such as pear, peach, and apple, with delicate floral hints. This charming white is quite full and rich, with soft acidity and a touch of bitterness that add freshness and length. A great match with grilled scallops. Enjoy!

Crafted with a majority of Tempranillo (70%), the contribution of Garnacha (20%), Graciano (5%) and Mazuelo (5%) is rather significant. This rich and full bodied Rioja exudes the hot and intense climate of the region. The nose displays ripe field berry scents, with woody, spicy and floral hints. This rojo offers volume, ripe tannins, good balance and some aging potential (4 to 6 years). A very flavourful Rioja that should marry remarkably well with simply grilled red meat with a dash of barbecue spices. Enjoy! Enjoy!

From the Mencia (100%) grape, this seductive rojo is surprisingly reminiscent of an excellent Gamay (cru) from Beaujolais. Youthful colour, medium bodied with good fruit extract, some supple tannins, quite tasty with good length. The charming nose displays spicy berry, animal and floral scents. A lovely, fresh red, crafted in the typical Raul Perez style. Try with veal shank steak and mushrooms, should work perfectly. Enjoy!

The «Trocken» mention indicates a wine that has very little residual sugar(4 gr/li). This lovely riesling is remarkably fresh and elegant. The subtle nose displays citrus and apple with a hint of petroleum. A refined light bodied, fairly dry white, that offers lively acidity and great balance. Surprisingly tasty, it will match perfectly with simply grilled shrimp with a dash of lime juice. Enjoy!

The prices of the Crus of Beaujolais (Brouilly, Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent…) are continuously increasing. Luckily, Louis Jadot continues to offer its Brouilly at a very attractive price. A great example of Gamay, this lovely red seduces with crisp berry flavours and fresh acidity. This charming Brouilly is typically light bodied and surprisingly flavourful. Well balance, it should marry perfectly with grilled chicken and salad, for a simple week night dinner. Enjoy!
