Equivalent Bottle Price £26.99

Vin de France Reserve, organic wine, Syrah, Grenache, Carignan. Don't let the VDF put you off, this is a fresh, fruity Cotes du Rhone with character. Juicy fruits, great acidity and depth, silky texture. Matthieu is one of our favourites and his wines are superb, fleshy and generous and outstanding value for money.

Trained as an oenologist, Matthieu was taught in the conventional way making wines that he didn’t like. Unlearning these practices and eschewing the chemical paraphernalia, he started his estate in 2006 with the intent to make fresh and precise wines true to the grapes he grows. He owns 5 hectares of old vines and produces half a dozen wines bottled as Côtes du Rhône or Vin de France.
