Meet our house Merlot in its new packaging. Ciceron, created as a research vineyard in days gone by, is now a home and visitor centre for Claude Vialade and her family. Merlot, Renaissance Ciceron £6.99 “We live by the rhythm of the seasons and vineyard tasks” Claude Vialade Enhance your staycation and travel in spirit to Ciceron, one of the most beautiful vineyards in the Corbieres. Transport yourself to the South of France and sample what the French call a ‘pleasure wine’. The wine itself is crimson in colour and intense on the nose. Red fruits, soft spices and liquorice...

Another great catch from Claude Vialade! Sauvignon Blanc, Catch & Release £6.99 Lower in alcohol If you’re looking for a French wine for the hot weather, this is it. Light and fruity, it will tickle your taste buds but you won’t loose your cool as it is ONLY 11% abv. The palate is easy going with touches of green apple and gooseberry. Perfect with fish dishes, of course. Serve chilled – unless you are by a river, this takes about 2 hours in the fridge. If you are a little impatient, 20 minutes in a bucket of ice water...and enjoy!...
