French Country, Rhone and Loire Red Wines

Fuller in style than its sibling, with more fruit and succulence.

Light styled with a charming soft fruit complexity throughout, 
and an excellent Pinot Noir at this price.

Chante CigaleRobust, with plenty of fruit and warm spice flavours, this supple red punches well above its Vin de France classification.

Predominately Merlot with a little Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot 
which just tweaks it into shape.

This is a real hit, beautifully balanced wine that is not too ‘Merloty’. It certainly figures as one of the best value French Country reds on the list with its richness and balance.

Great warmth and good brambly fruit is evident in this well made entry level 
Cotes du Rhone. Great value.

This is outstanding entry level Rhone wine, beautifully balanced with well integrated tannins and unbeatable at this price.

Quite a silent nose, but immediately warm and approachable, with notes of brambly fruit evident on first taste. Good easy drinking but with definite tannins obvious in aftertaste. An excellent wine for strong tasting pasta/rice dishes.

Always reliable, this attractive full bodied Rhone wine has plenty of fruit, a touch of spice and is beautifully balanced.

Very pleasing Pinot Noir with a great background, plenty of subtle fruit nuances 
and a long finish.

Beautifully made Rhone wine with a bit of power and complexity.

Well made and well priced Chateauneuf with plenty of body and a quality finish.
