French Wines

Today's wine world considers the wines of France as classics; where traditions, history and experience form the backbone of French winemaking. In spite of France's fame there are still gems and good value wines to be found.

France is home to most styles of wines, from the luxurious old bubbles of Champagne to the ultra powerful red wines of Medoc. Afterall, Bordeaux alone produced as much wine as the whole of Australia. Difference being France's refusal to waiver with the whims of fashion and consequently does not suffer from over-production.

We aim to scour France to bring you an ecclectic range of daily drinking wines and collectibles.

4. Roger Sabon Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Prestige' 2008

Tasting Notes:

Very stylish and perfumy, with sleek, fine grained tannins carrying the crush cherry, red licorice, bitter orange, clove, fruitcake flavors through the nicely defined finished. There is also a well embedded acidity. Very fine-grained and Burgundian style making this deceptively long. Drink now to 2025. J.M., Wine Spectator
