Meet the Producer Domaine Les Barthes is a family-run estate in south-west France committed to producing authentic wines that express the character of their land. With sustainable viticulture and hand-harvesting, the estate prioritises quality, precision and minimal intervention in the cellar.

A period of ageing in French oak barrels integrates flavours and softens the structure while preserving freshness and vibrancy. Tasting Notes Deep ruby with purple highlights, revealing aromas of black cherry, plum and violet with a touch of spice and subtle minerality. On the palate, full-bodied yet elegant with concentrated dark fruit, fine tannins and a long, balanced finish. Perfect Pairings Pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, beef stews, duck confit, game, cassoulet and mature cheeses. Perfect for hearty French cuisine. Grape Variety 100% Malbec
Pasquiers Shiraz Pays D'Oc 2024
Pasquiers Shiraz is a succulent, juicy, and approachable southern French red from the Languedoc , crafted by Boutinot France with a focus on pure fruit expression and a gentle hint of spice. Unoaked and early bottled, this is Shiraz at its most honest and drinkable. Why You'll Love It Boutinot France has developed a strong reputation for working with top-quality vineyards across the Languedoc, combining traditional southern French winemaking with careful modern techniques. The Pasquiers range is the clearest expression of that philosophy: varietal wines that let the fruit do the talking. No oak, no intervention, just ripe, expressive Shiraz from vines that thrive in the heat and sunshine of the Mediterranean south. Vineyard and Production The Shiraz vines are located in the southwest of the Languedoc, growing in silty and sandy soils under a hot, dry Mediterranean climate. Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, de-stemmed, and macerated at low temperatures to capture the purest fruit expression. No oak is used, allowing the natural cherry, plum, and blackberry flavours to shine through. Daily tasting ensures precision before early bottling to preserve freshness. Tasting Notes Bright aromas of cherry, plum, and blackberry on the nose. The palate is lush and juicy, with ripe berry fruits, gentle spice, and subtle notes of coffee, combining for a soft, friendly, and thoroughly approachable finish. Perfect Pairings Pairs beautifully with herby sausages, roasted vegetables, and classic French bistro fare. Also excellent with grilled lamb, burgers, and hearty pasta dishes. Grape Varieties Shiraz
