Bazar Pinot Noir Gewurztraminer 2025
Two grape-filled trailers, one red, one white, one chaotic winery and an inevitable oops. Et voila, Quel Bazar! A happy accident turned into a liquid masterpiece by winemaker Guillaume Letang at Maison Boutinot in the Languedoc Roussillon . This co-fermented collision of Pinot Noir and Gewurztraminer is juicy, aromatic and wonderfully unpredictable, because the best things in life rarely are. Why You'll Love It This is Red Wine with a wild side. The co-fermentation of Pinot Noir and Gewurztraminer produces a wine that defies easy categorisation, bright and bouncy with red fruit character and aromatic lift in equal measure. Equally enjoyable lightly chilled, it is the kind of bottle that surprises and delights in equal measure. Vegetarian and vegan. Vineyard and Production Sourced from IGP Pays d'Oc vineyards in the Languedoc, where both varieties are co-fermented together to create a wine that is fun, bright and full of character. The co-fermentation allows the aromatic intensity of the Gewurztraminer to weave seamlessly through the red cherry fruit of the Pinot Noir, producing a result greater than the sum of its parts. Tasting Notes Red cherry notes from the Pinot Noir meet lychee and tropical fruit from the Gewurztraminer, creating a flavour that is both charming and unexpected. Juicy and aromatic with refreshing acidity and a lively, expressive finish. Perfect Pairings An excellent match for Asian dishes such as sticky plum duck and fragrant Thai curry. Also well suited to creamy salmon risotto and enjoyed lightly chilled on a warm evening. Grape Varieties Pinot Noir and Gewurztraminer
Domaine Mas Barrau Cabernet Franc Vin de Pays du Gard 2025
Domaine Mas Barrau is a family estate near Nîmes on the high plateau of the Costieres de Nîmes, where Samantha and Eric have dedicated themselves to producing a Cabernet Franc that sets new standards for the variety in southern France. Cabernet Franc is much underrated and rarely cultivated outside its traditional heartlands of Bordeaux and the Loire — but in the Gard, on old river-bed soils of free-draining stone and gravel, it finds a compelling new home. Why You'll Love It This is Cabernet Franc from an unexpected address — and it is all the more exciting for it. Where the Loire gives you elegance and the Bordelais gives you structure, Mas Barrau gives you something wilder and more generous: sweet-scented ripe fruit twinned with an edgy woodland perfume, and a palate that is scrumptiously juicy and fleshy yet counterbalanced by the savoury, crunchy, rooty character that makes Cabernet Franc so distinctive. Incredibly long, very rich, and seriously good value. Vineyard & Production The Gard lies at the southern end of the Rhône valley, where the red wines carry the supple textures and peppery influences of the Rhône alongside the character of Cabernet varieties. Mas Barrau’s Cabernet Franc grapes come from a single family estate parcel near Nîmes, planted on the high plateau of the Costieres de Nîmes — old river beds of stony, free-draining soil that encourage deep root growth and produce wines of real concentration and character. The flat land and large vineyard blocks facilitate efficient, sustainable farming and exceptional value-for-money pricing. Tasting Notes A wine of real character: wild ripeness of sweet-scented fruit on the nose, twinned with an edgy woodland perfume. The palate is incredibly long and very rich — scrumptiously juicy and fleshy, yet beautifully counterbalanced by the savoury, crunchy, rooty character that is the hallmark of great Cabernet Franc. A genuinely distinctive and memorable glass. Perfect Pairings A superb match for juicy lamb sh
