Fantastic introduction to the wines of Rhone Valley. From the spice of the Syrah to the softness fruit of the Grenache to the perfumed aromas of Viognier, this is a great selection for winter warming wines or for a rack of lamb on the BBQ this summer.

Domaine de Montine Emotion
Grignan des Adhémar, Rhone Valley, France
2 x 75cl Bottles
With its crimson dark and deep red colour, this wine is clearly full and fleshy.
The discreet first scent will open nicely after pouring in a Decanter. Step by step, Emotion unveils ... Slightly spicy, it reveals some well mastered, fine and elegant aging flavours.
It becomes powerful in the mouth, with soft and round tannins that bring beautiful length on the palate. We really make sure this wine is alive and humble, as it is our house flagship.
This cuvee perfectly embodies our “Grignan-les-Adhémar” vineyard and its complexity.


Domaine La Font de Notre Dame, Rasteau
Rhone Valley, France
2 x 75cl Bottles
Rasteau’s mainly south facing vineyards, located just east of Cairanne, enjoy over 2,800 sunshine hours a year, and are relatively sheltered from the cold Mistral wind, allowing its vines to reap the full benefits of the warm, dry Mediterranean climate and making it home to the most intense and spiciest reds in the southern Rhône. 
 A rich and complex wine; the palate is brimming with ripe red summer fruits from Grenache, while Syrah brings a touch of peppery spice and Mourvèdre a savoury herbal twist.

Domaine Boutinot La Cote Sauvage Cairanne
Cairanne, France 
2 x 75cl Bottles
A serious, restrained and complex example of cru Cairanne. This is rich, intense and drenched in dark red fruits. With Morello cherry and a touch of cinnamon spice on the nose, soft dark plummy fruit, liquorice, chocolate, a hint of black tea on the palate, this wine is full flavoured and smooth with supple tannins. A rich, savoury satisfying mouthful! 


Domaine de Montine - Viognier
Rhone, France 
2 x 75cl Bottles
This is the only white in the case. It was John Wilson of The Irish Times who said recently that there are some white wines that should be enjoyed as though they are reds. He meant that they can be served at almost room temperature and that they can be sipped so that their length can be savoured and enjoyed, as opposed to them being cold refreshing vibrant wines full of acidity. This is honeyed, with floral aromas, honeyblossom and white pepper. a long length and a flavoursome finish.

Domaine La Font de Notre Dame Lirac
Rhone Valley, France
2 x 75cl Bottles 

 Lirac is quite a special Cru. In general, the wines are softer than its peers. Here, it’s all about the finesse and the fruit of Grenache. 
Deep crimson in colour, with notes of strawberries and blackberries. On the palate, the wine has a velvety mouthfeel and fresh acidity. Redcurrant flavours continue through the mouthwatering finish.



Grosset 'Creation' Cairanne 
Cotes du Rhone, France
2 x 75cl Bottles
Made from the classic Rhône varietals, this wine is consistently great. Anticipate delicious spicy red and black fruits and a generous mouth-feel. This wine has a solid personality and delivers good fruit and complexity at a very fair price. Fresh fruit and red berries and spice on the nose. A full bodied, rich and intensely aromatic wine with smooth tannins. The well balanced tannins and fruit gives this wine plenty of elegance with a nice long finish.
