Love a bit of Bordeaux but want to take your glass for a trip around France? Pick up this bottle immediately. Elegant and inky in character, with deep blue fruits and plum on the nose leading to a tight palate awash with hints of pencil shavings and some lovely, gravelly tannin.

Cosse Maisonneuve Cahors Solis 2019

Violet aromatics lay the scene for this dark fruited yet fresh Malbec, followed on the palate by blackberry, black strap liquorice, blood plum, and sandy tannins. There's plenty of energy and charge here, and a hint of rusticity lends itself nicely to this honest wine that ticks all the boxes. (750ml) 13.0% ABV

P. Parlange & Illouz La Pièce Cahors 2019

Chevalier du Château Lagrézette Cahors 2019

Cahors is a little north of Toulouse and its vineyards are located on a high plateau that sits on some prized Kimmeridgian bedrock. This blend underwent ten days of maceration before time in concrete and tank to enhance the aromas of sweet fruit. Every glass is deliciously bright and cool-fruited, effortless but contemplative.

Domaine La Calmette Serpent a Plumes 2020

This jovial Malbec sees no time in oak barrels, keeping the fruit feeling light and bouncy. Red berries, a little dusting of baking spice, and a lick of chewy tannin. A great midweek red to sip on the couch! (750ml) 12.5% ABV
