Iconic Wines

Floral & Structured

Fattoria di Petrognano has been owned by the Pellegrini family since 1962. It is located at Montelupo Fiorentino, in the province of Florence, immersed in an enchanting scenery of green hills and hundred-year-old cypresses.

The Orci is made from Sangiovese macerated on the skins for three months and aged in terracotta amphorae. Get a taste of Tuscany: this red delivers floral notes of violet that intermingle with dark fruit aromas. On the palate, it has a medium bodied structure and soft tannins.

Enjoy this wine with red meats or iconic Italian dishes as 'bistecca alla fiorentina'.

Tannic & Delicate

Fixin (pronounced “Fissin”) is situated in the Côte de Nuits, right between Dijon and Gevrey-Chambertin. It is known for the 10th century church of Saint-Antoine and the manor of La Perrière, where once the monks of Cîteaux came to enjoy the good air and the good wine.

Domaine Armelle et Jean-Michel Molin is a family-run winery that takes pride in farming their 7 hectares of vineyards organically and following biodynamic principles. 

Made from healthy hand-harvested grapes, this Fixin Rouge ages for a year in French oak barrels. The reds are what are known as “winter wines” because they need to spend some time in bottle. High-coloured, it has a brilliant deep purple or what the Burgundians call “deep mid-red”. The bouquet comprises floral scents  of violet and peony, fruity hints of blackcurrant, Morello cherry and quince; and a special peppery note. With age this Fixin will acquire a heightened and rounded attack and solid structure. The fullness is remarkable and the texture delicate.

Powerful yet delicate, its tannic structure makes it a worthy partner for good cuts of meat such as braised pork, beef rib steak with parsley, or poultry stews including their Indian variants (curry, tandoori). However, the delicacy of its aromas and of its finish also makes it a candidate for more inventive combinations such as paella, tapas, or spring-rolls. As far as cheese is concerned, it suits the delicacy of a Chaource, the lusciousness of a Comté, or the strong flavours of an Époisses.

Soft & Creamy

Just across the Rhône river from the beautiful vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the Lirac appellation extends over the low hills alongside the river.

This is a blend of Marsanne, Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Picpoul. The grapes are hand-picked and aged for 8 months in oak barrels.

This wine is creamy and lush, with hints of honeyed tangerine, melon and lime. Backed by a palate that's medium to full-bodied, slowly fading in intensity on the finish. A great example of how deliciously amazing Lirac can be.

What to drink with a Lirac Blanc? This wine and the mediterranean flavours of Bouillabaisse are a super match! It also pairs beautifully with poulet au citron et lavande (Lemon Lavender Chicken), another iconic recipe from the south of France.

Creamy & Zesty

Fixin (pronounced “Fissin”) is situated in the Côte de Nuits, right between Dijon and Gevrey-Chambertin. It is known for the 10th century church of Saint-Antoine and the manor of La Perrière, where once the monks of Cîteaux came to enjoy the good air and the good wine.

Domaine Armelle et Jean-Michel Molin is a family-run winery that takes pride in farming their 7 hectares of vineyards organically and following biodynamic principles. 

Made from healthy hand-harvested grapes, this Fixin Blanc ages for a year in French oak barrels, half of which are brand-new. This powerful Chardonnay delivers aromas of white flowers, yellow apple and lemon zest. The influence of the wood translates into a rich and creamy texture on the palate.

This wine was made to be savoured slowly. Pair it with escargots à la Bourguignonne or with sautéed frogs' legs. It will also taste amazing into the second day (if you don't finish the bottle...)
