A harmonious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc which creates a fruity and supple medium bodied red wine with red fruit flavours of cherries and plums, it has a bright finish.

This full-bodied Bergerac features a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. It displays fresh, ripe red fruit and liquorice aromas. Rich flavouts of black cherries are complemented by spices and a fine, smooth finish. Ideal with your eagerly awaited Christmas turkey or, for the rest of the year, with shepherd’s pie, cauliflower cheese… or just find yourself a quiet corner and sip it in silence.
Morrisons 12% ABV £9.99

Chateau Les Sablines Monbazillac 2012 (50cl)

A luscious Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon blend. A delcious wine with a rich purity of honey and citrus flavours. A fine match for sweet puddings

Peter Morrell, food and drink editor of AboutMy Generation commented “ I have tried three of these wines the Tours des Gendres, the Grande Reserve Bergerac and the Chateau Les Sablines Monbazillac. What struck me about all of them was not just the quality but the value for money that they offer.”

À votre santé!
