Palate: A delicate and elegant opening with silky, well-integrated tannins. Flavours of ripe red berry compote are complemented by notes of liquorice and the distinctive herbal nuances of the Mediterranean garrigue.
Food Pairing: An excellent partner for Mediterranean cuisine, including herb-grilled meats and tapenade. It also pairs beautifully with comforting winter classics such as tartiflette, cassoulet and duck confit.

Château de Lastours Hommage à Simone Descamps AOP Corbières
Druivenrassen: Carignan & Mourvèdre
Geboren tussen zee en bergen, brengt deze cuvée hulde aan Simone Descamps. Zij belichaamt de overdracht van tradities, authenticiteit en de gulheid van een terroir waar zachtheid en herinneringen samenkomen.
De druiven worden met de hand geoogst en gevinifieerd volgens de methode van koolzuurmaceratie. Vervolgens rijpt de wijn gedurende tien maanden in Franse eikenhouten foudres van 50 hectoliter, wat zorgt voor extra complexiteit en verfijning.
Terroir: Wijngaarden van ongeveer 20 jaar oud, gelegen op klei-kalkrijke en stenige hellingen. De percelen profiteren van de ochtendzon en de invloed van de zeebries. Alleen de beste druiven worden geselecteerd om deze cuvée te creëren.
In de neus expressief en verfijnd, aroma’s van verse rode vruchten zoals kers en framboos, aangevuld door tonen van mediterrane kruiden (garrigue) en een subtiele kruidigheid.
In de mond soepel en fruitig, gedragen door een mooie frisheid. De delicate houtlagering in foudres geeft de wijn een elegante textuur en extra diepgang. Fijne tannines zorgen voor een harmonieuze balans, terwijl de lange afdronk het pure karakter van Carignan-terroir prachtig weerspiegelt.
Perfect bij gegrild of geroosterd vlees, zoals lamsvlees met mediterrane kruiden of eendenborst. Ook een uitstekende combinatie met de Zuid-Franse keuken, traditionele stoofgerechten en geroosterde groenten. Ook heerlijk bij fijne charcuterie en karaktervolle harde kazen.

Château Vessière is an estate situated on the highest ridge of the Costières de Nîmes.

Jérôme Quiot Cairanne 2020 Rhône
Domaine Bertrand Stehelin Gigondas 2022 Rhône
The red Gigondas has a shiny, sunny colour that varies from ruby to dark garnet. On the nose he shows a bouquet of red fruits (cherry bigarreau, crushed strawberry) and very ripe black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant, blueberry) in his youth. He will evolve into wild nuances of undergrowth and truffles. In the mouth, the Gigondas is full of a fleshy attack. Its complex terroir gives it a great aromatic palette between fruity aromas (plum, fig) and spicy notes (white pepper, garrigue, thyme, liquorice).
Capacity to age. It evolves favourably over time and becomes more refined during cultivation. In the cellar, the Gigondas, with slow aging, are great wines to leave behind. With a clear aptitude for aging, they have the ability to reconcile concentration, balance and finesse. Colored, structured and long in the mouth, they offer a rich bouquet of fine and spicy aromas.
Very tasty with lamb, beef and game.
Price per bottle: € 29,85
Domaine de Beaurenard Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2022 Rhône
Beautiful expressive nose, flowers, aromatic mountain plants, garrigue, herbs, black fruits. Harmonious and full on the palate with a remarkable texture, silky and velvety tannins and a very pleasant freshness. A wine of great length, pure, crystalline.
Plots of old vines, from 60 to 100 years old, on terroirs with a strong personality and complexity. Grapes picked at full ripeness and carefully sorted by hand increase concentration.
Very low yield: from 15 to 20 hectolitres/hectare. In these old vineyards with mixed grape varieties, we find the symphony of the 13 grape varieties, with a dominant Grenache.
The Boisrenard is produced in long barrels and matured in the most traditional way for 18 months in oak barrels, bottled and left to rest in the underground cellars.
Fits perfectly with lamb, beef, game and cheese.

La Cour des Dames Merlot 2018 Languedoc
With a very dark, almost black color, this wine is complex, rich, long and fat. It has aromas of crushed black fruit (blackberries, blackcurrants, cherries), jam, cooked fruit, spices (cinnamon, thyme). On the palate, this Merlot is round, rich and long ("velvety") with ripe tannins at the finish. It is well balanced and easy to drink.
Goes perfectly with traditional or spicy cuisine.

Château Lalis GR36 2017 Languedoc
Philippe ESTRADE explains: "GR36 is the name of the long-distance footpath that runs through the plot and connects the Mediterranean Sea with the English Channel... But above all, it is a project that was started by two people and that I finished alone due to the disappearance of my friend André, who died. The wine combines strength and softness... that's his signature!"
Intense, deep and vibrant colour. The nose confirms the presence of ripe fruit with quite spicy notes. The very old Grenache vines do their job. On the palate full and generous, still spicy and the tannins are present but well controlled. A well-structured wine that also has a very nice aftertaste. Can now be appreciated on its black fruit and has an excellent potential for evolution.
Price per bottle: € 9,95
Château Lalis La Mondaine 2018 Languedoc
Philippe Estrade signs this sophisticated but not manipulated vintage. Remarkable processing of the wood, well proportioned, brings a voluptuous and soft side that tempers the enthusiasm of the Syrah.
What happiness today, in these Corbières, to have on the taste buds the result of the work of Philippe Estrade, which brings the terroirs and grape varieties back to life. Elegant, spicy, fleshy and truly exceptional.
The perfect match with grilled duck breast, Rossini steak, hare and strong cheeses.
