Peach colour with a pale salmon reflections. An exuberant nose of fresh fruit with a dominant citrus character. The mouth is both supple and fresh with a beautiful presence of red fruits on the finish.

Old-vine Grenache with a lick of Carignan, fortified by mutage to 16.5 percent, this is wonderfully fruity, with cassis and blueberry in the ascendant. It’s magnificently versatile too; this goes just as well with fig tart as with foie gras, or – of course – on its own. A real taste of (French) Catalonia!

Dark ruby in colour with purple hues this intensely aromatic red shows notes of brambly fruits and sweet spice. On the palate it is very juicy with notes of garrigue towards the finish. Far from rustic, the fine tannins are in perfect balance with the fresh acidity, making it incredibly quaffable. Enjoy with red meat dishes or a sausage casserole.

An intriguing blend of Ugni Blanc, Clairette and Bourboulenc, the 2016 has subtle aromatics of white flowers, peach and even a hint of soft pineapple. If the Ugni grounds the wine with gravitas and a Southern weight, the two other varietals lend flinty acidity and a clean, refreshing finish. A dream, or so they say, with Comté or Beaufort.

I am somewhat biased as I was fortunate to taste this at Maison Francois Perrin whilst looking out over the Provençale landscape. Pale salmon in colour, the nose is wonderfully fresh with aromas of wild strawberry and hints of fennel and orange peel. Crisp and dry across the palate with gentle flavours of red currants, strawberry, and a touch of savouriness comes through at the back with flicks of spice. Detailed and precise with a moreish finish; the Perrin's have excelled again here with a delicious rose wine truly representative of the regions finest. Drink and enjoy without thinking, ideally this summer once available.

I described the 2015 release as ‘dangerously drinkable and probably the perfect Provence rose’ and this continues a theme! Very pale, with wild strawberry and fennel on the nose. Excellent freshness on the palate, with a seam of red fruit and saline tang on the finish. As effortlessly enjoyable as always and sure to become a staple of picnics, BBQs and sunny summer evenings.

This domaine produces first-class wines at absurdly low prices. Brothers Jean-Yves and Pierre-André are the sixth generation of Ournacs to produce wines here. Like other growers in the area, they have progressively replanted their vineyards over the last 15 years, replacing many traditional varieties with Syrah, Chardonnay and Viognier.

This is one of the nicest Viogniers we know, away from the variety’s Rhône heartland. It retains Viognier’s apricot and peach stone notes, but adds a cool stone dimension that lifts the wine away from any heaviness. This isn’t complex but is immediately delicious and a little bit different too.
