France
The vineyards of France produce a staggering array of wine and for many, winemakers and wine drinkers alike, French wines are the benchmark for all others to follow. France quite literally has ‘something for everyone’, with the ultra-traditional grape growing regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy producing some of the most revered (and expensive) wines in the world right through to the great value regions of the Loire, Languedoc and Southern Rhone providing wine for all budgets and tastes. Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc, Northern Rhone Syrah and Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Burgundy are all wines which set the bar for others to reach when making wines in other parts of the world.

Bordeaux Blend
"The 2008 Clos du Marquis has an expressive bouquet with blackberry, briary and pencil shaving aromas that gains intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with just a light seam of greenness, although it merely adds freshness and asserts its classicism. I find this fresh and balanced, sporting just the right amount of dryness on the cassis-driven finish that balanced with the fruit, lending it a “breezy” and unassuming character that suits it down to the ground. Enjoy this over the next decade". Drink 2018 - 2028
