Négrette is a bit of a rare gem – fragrant, bright, and a touch mysterious. This Fronton blend is all about juicy black fruit, violet perfume, and a savoury twist that keeps you coming back. Smooth enough for midweek sipping, interesting enough for weekend bragging rights.

The French wine scene can be somewhat of a minefield at times, all we really want is a supplier that makes wines from all across the country while still displaying regional and sub-regional typicity.. Simple right?!? Enter Maison Johanès Boubée, a winery that has succeeded in the French landscape, albeit relatively unknown outside its borders. The winery has access to all the finest products around the country, and aside from an impressive winemaking team, it has also employed sommeliers to taste each wine and confirm that it meets the all-important terroir feel of each region. The winery is a nod to the old-school way, where you didn’t need to boast a fancy label to sell a bottle of wine, and the juice inside is the most crucial part. We have tasted through an extensive range of their wines and are very impressed with the overall quality in each bottle. The ‘Carte Noire’ range focuses on the regions that don’t get the same amount of attention that the golden children of France, Burgundy, Bordeaux, and Champagne receive.
