Fine French Favourites - Half Dozen
Journey around France in six bottles, starting with a Sancerre look-alike from Touraine, a crisp, fresh, new-wave Muscadet and a rich, Alsace Pinot Gris. For the reds, there’s Tanners Rhône Valley Red, packed with juicy red fruit, a silky cru Beaujolais and an aromatic, reminiscent-of freshly-picked-berries Cabernet Franc from Saumur-Champigny.
