French Fancies Selection Case

French Fancies Case Selection (6 x 75cl)

A French selection with something new to taste, all becoming very fashionable

Domaine Foncastel Picpoul de Pinet

Really classic example of Picpoul, steely, mineral notes with good acidity and delicate fruits on the palate. If you like a crisp, dry Muscadet or Chablis, this Picpoul grape variety is one you'll enjoy when it's paired with seafood dishes

Le Versant Viognier

Bright colour with green tints. Intense apricot, pêche de vigne and rose. Slight hints of spice (ginger) and mint. Strong and generous on the palate developing towards a notably smooth and fruity finish. Foncalieu' s wine is a great alternative to the hedonistic examples from the northern Rhone

Vieille Monnaie Pinot Noir

Fuller than Pinot Noir from Burgundy, it has a warm, rich nose with aromas of dark wild cherry and just a hint of toasty oak. The palate is nicely balanced with an exciting, savoury bitterness provided by ripe, tasty tannins

Saint Amour Bel-Air, Cru Beaujolais

Black fruits, blueberries and plums with dried notes of prunes and dates form a surprisingly light body. Earthy mushroom and cassis mingle with dark baking chocolate to form a robust tannic structure and lingering baking spice finish. You're going to love this wine when matched with a plate of charcuterie on Boxing Day

If You Know – You Know Orange Wine

Using a blend of Muscat, Grenache Blanc & Viognier, this wine offers a clear, pale orange colour. There are intense aromas of bitter oranges, dried flowers and slightly nutty hints. Fresh, vivid and well-balanced, with a nice acidity. The aromas carry through to the palate, finishing long, intense and complex

Cave de Lugny Cremant de Bourgogne

Brilliant silver with green reflections. Inviting nose of greengage, pear, elderflower and a hint of brioche. On the palate, a grippy perlage, well-balanced sweet-acid play with hints of young meadow herbs. Slightly salty and juicy on the finish. Made using the same bottle fermentation method, this fizz is a great alternative to Champagne
