Cabernet Sauvignon is the strong, silent type – all confidence, no arrogance – and this one has its French manners down pat. Packed with dark berries, a dusting of spice, and just the right amount of grip, it’s like a well-tailored suit with a cheeky smile.

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?!? Well, enter Maison Johanès Boubée which is a winery that has succeeded in the French landscape, while relatively unknown outside its borders. The winery has access to all the goodies around the country and aside from an impressive winemaking team, it also has employed sommeliers to taste each wine to confirm it meets that 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 important part. We have tasted through a large range of their wines and are very impressed with the overall quality in each bottle. Héritage de Carillan focuses on classic varieties like Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay with a vintage twist.
