White Wines
The Domaine Bergeron
Sauvignon Blanc from the Robert Vic vineyards
near Carcasonne is a fine,
bone dry white with typical elderflower fruit. Don’t
miss the excellent Chardonnay 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.
