Languedoc - Roussillon

Domaine du Peras

Finding a quality entry level wine ( house wine ) is always a challenge as often these wines are produced for the mass market and therefore consistency in the quality is very hard to achieve. 

Not only does Mathieu, the winemaker, likes to focus on single variety in order for the consumer to know what is in the glass, but he goes as far as harvesting at night time in order to keep the freshness and the fruitiness, in the wine rather than the oxidised touch or cooked fruit taste, which can be found in so many wines of the region. Entry level, house wine at its very best!

Sauvignon Blanc - 2013Fresh grassy and mineral aromas combine with a crisp clean attack showing this to be well made Sauvignon. The surprising depth and lenght of flavour makes it stand out from the crowd.

Price: £10.00/bottle

Merlot - 2012Rich fruit with jammy notes is tempered by a lovely fresh blackcurrant leaf note and supported by a good but not astringent structure. A versatile food wine!

Price: £10.00/bottle

Cabernet Sauvignon - 2013A value for money, warm climate Cabernet Sauvignon that retains fresh acidity and a nice crunchy structure. A well made, easy drinking wine.

The company was born in 1945, founded by Jose Maria Vaquer Bes. In his home, they had always made wine, so Jose Maria began to sell it using his brand new Opel Blitz car. The Mariol wines from Batea began to reach important markets such as those of Reus and Barcelona, and on the barrels from the city wine merchants it was common to find Batea written in chalk, together with the number of Jose Maria's second truck, a Chevrolet with a 77777 number plate which they said was famous in Catalonia.

The Casa Mariol brand that we see today was created by descendents Marta, Joseph Maria and Miquel Angel in 2007. Not only is the packaging unique, innovative, and eye catching, the wines are great too, representing fantastic value across the range.

The Moutards have been making wine since 1642 from their base in Buxeuil. They produce a range of Champagnes  from their own grapes and from grapes purchased from carefully-chosen growers.

Their own 21 hectare vineyard is situated in the extreme south east of the Champagne appellation on the sunny slopes of the Cote dess Bar. Separeted from the rest of the Champagne by 75kms of land that cannot produce wine, this is the highest region within Champagne, between 160 and 300 metres altitude. Moutard's vineyards benefit from  very particular microclimate. The Pinot Noir thrive on the clay and limestone soils, giving the Champagne's a vineous flavour and strong personality.

Francois Moutard is one of the few growers who still grows the Arbane grape which is much appreciated for the delicacy of its bubbles. As he also grows the Petit Meslier, he is one of the very few vignerons who can produce a Champagne - 6 Cepages - made up of the six allowable grape vareties: Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, Petit Meslier and Arbane. 

Highly individual wines!

Price: £100/bottle incl. VAT

The Liquid Gold „VINUM TOKAJENSE PASSUM” it could not bemissed from the shelves of any pharmacy through centuries. Drink every day like one tea spoon only and keep it long in your mouth. This may be one of the finest dessert wines ever made in the world. So pure, ethereal and totally sensational, explosive on the palate, freakishly complex, lusciously sweet, yet with superb laser like sharp citrus juices which keeps it vibrant and mesmerising throughout. The finish is endless. There is so much going on here, flavours of pineapple, citrus, lichee, orange blossom, strawberries, dried apricot. 

Honey contains 400 grams of sugar per litre, this contains a staggering 614 grams per litre! 

It is totally extravagant, extraordinarily finessed, despite the massive residual sugars, this is superbly balanced by thrilling acids.

Eszencia (Essence) is not really a wine in the conventional sense, but rather a unique elixir, the quintessence of the grape, with an almost supernatural concentration of taste and aroma, especially if it is very high in sugars and lower in alcohol. It's something that every wine aficionado dreams of tasting at least once, and to do so is likely to be a life-enhancing and never-forgotten experience.
