For our ‘Vive la France’ mixed case we open with a couple of exquisite sparkling wines from one of the natural wine making superstars of Anjou, Liv Vincendeau. Firstly, we have Liv’s delicious ‘Pet Nat’, from 60yo vines which sings with notes of quince, lemons, and apples on the palate accompanied by subtle mineral notes and a fine mousse. Following this, Liv’s signature sparkling ‘Loire God’ is a delicious brut nature crémant from the incredibly schist rich soils of Rochefort sur Loire. The palate sings with vibrant quince, ripe apple and citrus fruits, accompanied by notes of caramel, bread crust and hazelnuts. The finish is long and clear rounded by a delightfully fine mouse and mouth-watering salinity.

For the red and white, we visit one of the flagbearers of the Costieres de Nîmes, and a domaine we are thrilled to be working with again: Chateau d’Or et de Gueules. Both the Trassegum Blanc and Rouge are remarkably characterful wines crafted with precision and care. The 80% Rousanne Trassegum Blanc has a wonderfully aromatic nose filled with captivating aromas of jasmine and peach blossoms. The palate is exotic, with notes of peaches and tangerines accompanied by citrus notes, subtle spices and a gentle and enticing creaminess. The 2020 Trassegum rouge is a captivating, muscular and deep red, crafted from Syrah, Carignan and Mourvèdre. The wine is dark and full-bodied, filled to the brim with deliciously ripe stewed black fruits. However, the wine never falls into the realm of ‘too much’, there is a harmonious balance, wonderful purity and real elegance.
