moreFRANCE
France benefits from a range of locations and climates that are suitable for growing wines, resulting in a diverse range of varieties and styles. Emphasis remains as much on tradition as technology, with particular significance placed on the expression of terroir. The finest wine-producing regions are Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and Rhône.
Other significant areas include Alsace, Beaujolais, Chablis, Jura, Loire, and south west France. A predominantly red wine-producing country, less than a quarter of all wine consumed in France is white.

TASTING NOTES
If the ability to make a good Bourgogne Rouge is the mark of a quality winemaker, this is a case in point. Very juicy with purity of raspberry and red cherry fruit and good weight. With freshness and lift and a crunchiness to the finish, this is very moreish Bourgogne Rouge.Armit Wines

TASTING NOTES
Beautifully pure, floral nose. On the palate a racy, energetic feel with nuances of stone fruit, acacia, brioche and underlying minerality. Lovely purity and vitality run like a vein through the wine, which has a long, crisp, slightly nutty finish. Exemplary Blanc de Blancs and great apéritif style. Deliciously precise with high toned citrus fruit providing thrilling focus and definition....

Most of the crop was lost which is a pity as this is a beautiful wine with a delicate bouquet of pure red fruits and an elegant seasoning of spice.

Dark, crunchy, ripe cherries and blueberries abound here with a hint of earthy depths that are supported by ripe, velvety tannins and a juicy freshness. The wine is finely honed and supple with lovely length underpinned by a firm core of savoury mineral strength and a persistent length. Drink from 2021.Armit Wines
