The Fine Wine Importers Mixed Case No. 1
This Fine Wine Importers mixed case includes some of our imported classics.
The case includes a Chateau Haut Pougnan, Entre-Deux-Mers, Bordeaux, 2022. A delicate and light white predominately made up of Sauvignon Blanc (70%). It has a well balanced acidity with a floral nose and is neither too dry or too fruity. It is also 25% Semillion and 5% Muscadelle.
A bottle of 'Les Princes' from Domaine Ménard-Gaborit, Muscadet Sevre et Maine Sur Lie 2023. Lemon, fresh apple and peach combine with crushed minerality making this a delicious wine and perfect example of muscadet from the Loire. It is a zesty, creamy white wine which matches perfectly with oysters, mussels or grilled sardines. The lees aging gives it a delicious saline quality. 100% Melon de Bourgogne.
A bottle of Terra Autentica Rouge 2019, AOP Terrasses du Larzac. Grown on flinty limestone pebbles ‘galets roules’, perfect for heat and water retention, the stones release heat at night to obtain optimal ripeness. Grenache, Syrah, Carignan and Cinsault provide a nose of violets, red fruits and herbs of the garrigue (herbaceous, peppery and smoky tones as a result of the wild vegetation which grows in the sun scorched limestone soils of the Terrasses du Larzac). A full bodied delicious wine with dominant tannins. Pair with grilled rabbit or tuna.
A bottle of Chateau Fonsalade, Saint Chinian 2019. This award winning wine is a fantastic example of a great St Chinian consisting of 75% Grenache and 25% Syrah. Dark fruits and spices provide a delicious well structured wine with elegant tannins. A great accompaniment to duck á l'orange, wild boar or chinese dishes.
A bottle of Vin d'Une Nuit red, bursting with ripe red fruits, this is a full bodied, refined wine with silky tannins. An ideal match with chacuterie and hard cheeses. Garnet red color. Fruity nose, with very ripe red fruits. The palate is ample, suave and balanced. Vin d'Une Nuit, wine to be drunk in one night, is Saint Saturnin's iconic red with a lovely blend of Grenach (30%), Syra (30%), Carignan (20%) and Cinsault (20%).
And a bottle of Rosé d’une Nuit, Saint Saturnin, Rosé 2023, AOP Languedoc. Delicious small red fruits, crisp and delicate in the mouth. Great with soft cheeses, olives and anchovies. Rosé with a rose petal color, with delicate aromas of citrus and red fruits. Vin d'Une Nuit, wine to be drunk in one night, is Saint Saturnin's iconic rosé with a lovely blend of Grenach and Cinsault. This is Sanit Saturnin's icon rosé and has been produced by Saint Saturnin for decades and it is a firm favourite with many, including us!
