Appellation: Vin de Pays Côtes de Gascogne
Blend: 100 % Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting note: French Roots Sauvignon is a fresh and explosive wine. The nose offers beautiful citrus aromas. The mouth is well-balanced, giving length and freshness. Enjoy this Sauvignon simply as a pre-dinner drink or with fish, creamy pasta and seafood.
Appellation: Vin de Pays d’Oc
Blend: 100% Merlot
Tasting note: With its deep and intense colour, French Roots Merlot gives a nose of ripe soft fruits. It is round and well-balanced with silky tannins and is finished with a pleasant note of freshness. This unctuous Merlot is the ideal accompaniment to pastas and a wide variety of cheeses.
Appellation: Saint-Emilion AOC
Blend: 100% Merlot
Tasting note: Château Tonneret has a fine nose, immensely appealing wine with an intense purple colour. The powerful bouquet is quite fruity (red fruit and candied fruit) with added hints of animal and menthol. Hearty and well structured, Château Tonneret is especially attractive due to its long, fruity aftertaste development on the palate.
Appellation: VDP Côtes de Gascogne
Blend: 50 % Chardonnay
50 % Colombard
Tasting note: Chardonnay has a rich bouquet, with hints of very ripe fruit (apple, banana and pear) and lime-blossom, typical of this grape variety. A suggestion of honey shows that this wine comes from a warm region. This rich, full-bodied, wine has a beautiful honeyed aftertaste. This Chardonnay is smooth, elegant and powerful. It reflects the fine winegrowing soil and warm sunshine. The grapes are harvested before they become over-ripe to ensure that the wine has finesse and a fine bouquet
Appellation: Vin de pays d’Oc
Blend: 100% Merlot
Tasting note: Merlot from the Languedoc has a somewhat simpler bouquet than the Syrah. It is quite full with lots of rich, ripe, red fruit and is very similar to other grape varieties grown in the region. The climate obviously has a strong effect on Merlot grapes. There is an indescribable aroma of herbs typical of the garrigue, of local scrubland, as well as a hint of oriental spices.
This extremely vinous wine is well-balanced, intense and fruity on the palate, with hints of prunes. It is well-balanced and round. The tannins are soft and finely-textured and there is a delicious spicy aftertaste.
Appellation: St. Emilion, Bordeaux, France
Blend: Merlot 70%
Cabernet Sauvignon 25%
Cabernet Franc 5%
Vintage: aaaa
Tasting note: A very classy Claret nose leads on to a ripe, flavoursome Merlot palate, smooth with a surprisingly long finish for a wine at this level. Fantastic with a classic Sunday roast and also good with lamb dishes.
Appellation: Bordeaux Supérieur
Blend: 50% Merlot
50% Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting note: The Cuvée Raphaël is always a very dense, very concentrated wine with elegant tannins that stand out, but are mellow and smooth. They are elegantly woody, but not excessively to leave plenty of room for the fruit.
Appellation: Bordeaux Blanc AOC
Blend: 70% Sauvignon
20% Semillon
10% Muscadelle
Tasting note: The Sauvignon produces aromatic strength and freshness, while the Semillon complements this with a certain degree of roundness on the palate. The Muscadelle adds intense white flower notes to the aromatic range of the finished wine.
All in all, a white wine with intense white and citrus fruit aromas, which is both fresh and round on the palate.
