France
Alpine France
France is the great wine nation - but you won't find Bordeaux or classic Côtes du Rhône here - no! We head for the foothills of the Alps for far more interesting bottles.
French Winemakers
Hand picked winemakers are people who are a delight to do business with - and that's before you've opened the wine. What's in the bottle is even more delightful.
Château Thivin
Château Thivin create some of the most sought after wines from Beaujolais.
Denis & Didier Berthollier
Denis and Didier Berthollier are a couple of magnificent winemakers from Savoie.
Domaine Gravallon-Lathuilière
Four different Crus from this family winery.
Domaine Matray
Not just stunning Crus but sparkling and fortified Beaujolais too!
French Wine Regions
We focus on the lesser known wine regions of France near the Alps - Beaujolais, Savoie and Jura.
Beaujolais
The Beaujolais region lies between the Mâconnais to the north, the city of Lyon to the south and the Rhône valley beyond.
Savoie
Elegant and refined wines from this little known mountainous region.
French Wine Grapes
