The Fine Wine Importers Christmas Mixed Case No. 2
The Fine Wine Importers Christmas 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 Domaine du Meteore Perisides 2020 from Faugeres. A delicious organic wine with a blend of syrah, grenache and mourvedre. The wine combines mineral notes, cocoa beans, Sichuan pepper and a hint of menthol. Rich with a freshness to the finish, this is a perfect illustration of schist terroir.After de-stemming, the grapes are soaked for a full six weeks to bring out the wine’s garnet hues. Following fermentation, it’s matured for fourteen months in fine Burgundy oak, then for a further fourteen in stainless steel.
A bottle of our classic Vin d’une Nuit, from Saint Saturnin, Red 2019. 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%). Vin d'Une Nuit has been produced by Saint Saturnin for decades and this vintage celebrates its 70th anniversary. It is a firm favourite with many, including us!
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 Echine d’Ane, IGP Saint Guilhem Le Desert, Grenache Noir, 2020. Delicious red fruits, spices, fresh and fruity. This 100% grenache noir is an exciting new find from this little known but now sought after appellation in the Languedoc. IGP Saint-Guilhem-Le-Désert. Try with rabbit or chicken dishes.
And 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.
