YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START?
Are you curious to discover these wines that are being talked about more and more? We've made it simple for you. We have asked winemakers we know and appreciate to make wines that are accessible, fruity and easy to "understand" from the first sip. The idea was to enter through a logic of Grape variety. Melon de Bourgogne, Gamay, Grenache, Chenin... if these words, which you sometimes hear, do not evoke precise ideas for you... these wines are made for you!
Divine DURAS by Bois-MOISSET 2021
This is a good introduction to this Grape variety from the Tarn, the Duras. The nose shows a slight reduction which will fade away quite quickly after a little airing. We immediately feel the freshness of the wine, the juicy black fruits and some spicy notes as well. On the palate, the wine is straightforward and presents a frank attack on black fruits, giving way to a fluid and sapid mid-palate.
A fruity wine balanced by a nice tannic structure on the finish which will be perfect for everyday meals, snacks and grilled meats.

Radieux Rosé by Richaud 2021
A 2021 vintage with freshness and fruity roundness. One can almost speak of greediness. Frank and fresh on the palate.

A springtime cuvée that will delight us all summer long and beyond.
