Vin de Pays d'Herault

5 years ago a friend of Juliens asked him to make a wine for a gypsy jazz festival in Paris and Cabu-a famous caricature was asked to design the labels. It was a great success and although the jazz fair was a one off the wine has continued. Les Temps de Gitans’ is ‘the time of the gypsies’ and the wine is a fun wine to be enjoyed with friends. It is organic, well made, has personality and a clarity of fruit not oftn found at this price point.

The nose is like smelling a strong French cheese, of farmyard rusticity but the palate is very clean, juicy round with soft ripe tannins and balanced alcohol. It’s simple , well made and versatile.

Vin de Pay d'Oc

Made by our friends in Pic St Loup, Trevor and I chose this blend earlier in the year after many a tasting. It is a wine (like all of their wines which are listed on these various pages) that we are proud to have the St J label upon.

It has the warm fruit you'd expexct from this southen region with dry soft tannins with a hint of Garrigue rusticity. Easy to drink it is, forgettable it is not

Olivier is also a very good hunter and Sabine an excellent cook and their wines pair very well with the game Olivier shoots. They are polished excellent examples of the grapes showing the terroir but in a fine elegant way rather than the rusticity expected of the region.

Chunky, dark spicy fruits on the nose and even more in the mouth. A nice purity. Well balanced throughout but powerful.

Deep spicy concentration. A lot of power and dark chocolate, deep berry flavours. Maybe not as wood influenced as some of the Pic St Loup available, but maybe better for it?

Named after Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stones but also refers to the large stones in the vineyard that gather the heat during the day and reflect back up at the vine. Irene plays the Stones to her wines as they are fermenting. The wines taste as happy and full of personality as she is and this year she won AOC Pic St Loup for her wines which is such great news.

Soft woody notes on the nose and a lovely herbacious, concentrated fruit behind. Dark mocha on the palate and a soft, silky feel with crisp chunky tannins. A very well made wine.
