"Gorgeously complex and enticing, the bouquet shows dark berry, fine leather, roasted nut, dried flower and olive notes, leading to a beautifully weighted palate offering silky texture backed by fine-grained tannins. It's spicy and savoury with rich fruit flavours, making it highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2027"  Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

1 x Maison Bouachon Côtes Du Rhône Les Rabassières 2021 (France)

AWARDED 93/100 POINTS: International Wine Challenge

"This beauty has rich, ripe flavours of spiced blackberry, raspberry and redcurrant. Lovely, long, smooth and silky on the palate but with plenty of structure making it feel more serious than the price tag suggests."

This luscious red perfectly captures the ripeness, depth and sheer drinkability of the best Côtes du Rhônes. Made from the usual suspects from this part of France - Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and Cinsault.

1 x Bonpas 'Dames de Bonpas' Côtes du Rhône–Villages Plan de Dieu 2021 (France)

AWARDED 93/100 POINTS & 5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"The wine combines rich fruit intensity with spicy/savoury nuances, showing dark berry, charcuterie, olive and roasted nut aromas on the nose. The palate delivers excellent weight and plump mouthfeel, beautifully complemented by fleshy texture. Flavoursome and supple with a lengthy sturdy finish. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

We’ve been fans of the Bonpas wines for a while but we haven’t managed to get enough wine out of them...till now! We are delighted to bag this rich, spicy Côtes du Rhône Village, particularly thrilling in another tasty Rhône vintage. It is a classic velvety Grenache, enhanced with a little peppery, blackberry rich Syrah. Well ripened in the warm sunshine of 2021, and very moreish – Rhône red at its most appealing best.

1 x Château de Domazan 'Jean Astier' Cotes Du Rhone 2022 (France)

"This is a gorgeous, velvety Rhône red and offers terrific value. The grapes are from vineyards around Chateauneuf du Pape and share the same stone strewn soil that promotes superb ripeness and richness of fruit. The vines are old and gnarled, producing few grapes but with rare concentration of flavour. The 2022 vintage is a cracker - spot-on with lamb, a robust cassoulet, duck or slow cooked casseroles" Winemaker

Château de Domazan was built in the 14th century in the middle of Côte du Rhône vineyard, nearby Avignon. The ground is covered with large pebbles that were rolled and rounded on the old Rhône bed. These pebbles that can weigh up to 30 kg are very beneficial to the grapes because they provide excellent conditions for ripening. They store up the heat from the sun during the day and release it slowly through the mild summer nights.

1 x Grand Veneur Côtes du Rhône Rèserve 2021 (France)

AWARDED 91/100 POINTS & 4.5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"We have been importing this wine since the 2003 vintage and it never fails to impress. The 2021 is yet another winner from the passionate and hardworking Jaume family. Supple, gluggable and full of southern French warmth and character. This Grenache-predominant red has silky-smooth tannins and lashings of plummy, ripe fruit flavours and a finish that shows touches of Kirsch, liquorice and classic Rhone pepperiness" Importer

"This estate, under the leadership of Sebastien Jaume, continues to be one of the reference point producers for relatively modern styled Châteauneuf du Papes. In addition to their top tier efforts, the portfolio is loaded with smoking values at just about every price point" RobertParker.com
