The Domaine Bergeron Sauvignon Blanc from the Robert Vic vineyards near Carcasonne is a fine, bone dry white with typical elderflower fruit. The rich and aromatic from Viognier/Muscat from Maison Galhaud is certainly worth a try and don’t miss the excellent Chardonnay and Viognier from Robert Vic at Domaines Preignes le Vieux. But if you want to try one of south of France's greatest wines then the rich and exotic Jurancon 'Domaine Cauhapé' from the Petit Manseng grape is a delicious treat in store.
Red Wines This is rapidly becoming one of the favourite areas on the list! Onto the list comes the Domaine Bergeron Merlot - full of black juicy fruit. From the same stable are the Domaine Preignes le Vieux Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah which are both wines that have delicious clean fruit, light oak, and good acidity. Also worth trying is our Fitou from top producer les Vignerons de Mont Tauch. Unoaked, it is classic summer drinking. Best of all though are the fabulous wines of Domaine de la Brillane – made by an ex-university friend of mine, Rupert Birch, who has given up working for Schroders to start a new life as a vigneron. Judging by the wines he is producing, he has made a good career move, at least from our point of view. The Brillane ‘Cuvée du Printemps’ is a deliciously light and soft, fruit-driven Grenache-based Provence red that screams 'drink me'. His main wine Domaine de la Brillane is simply sensational, unoaked and packed with plum fruit. Also well worth trying is our new Fitou from top producer les Vignerons de Mont Tauch. Unoaked, it is classic summer drinking.
Rosé Domaine Houchart is a superb, crisp dry rosé in the traditional amphora-shaped bottle of the region. Made by the president of the INAO, Jérôme Quiot, it has elegant strawberry fruit and is delicious all the year round.
