Description
Welcome to France's most exciting wine region. East of Bordeaux and west of the Rhône, the locals call it the Midi. 'Wine lovers', says the Financial Times, "would be fools to ignore what the smaller domaines of the South of France have to offer. This is France's hidden treasure - handcrafted wines at bargain prices".
The Southern French Treasure Trove is exclusive to Black Market members. Vintages may change during the year but all sealed under screw-cap to ensure freshness. This classic collection includes the following:
2 x Le Village du Sud Syrah 2015
AWARDED 90/100 POINTS: Sam Kim's The Wine Orbit
"It's sweetly perfumed on the nose showing dark plum, game, vanilla and roasted nut characters, leading to a succulent palate that is beautifully fruited and smooth. This is upfront and tasty with plenty of ripe fruit flavours and subtle savoury notes. At its best: now to 2018."
Food Pairing: With its bold red fruit and earthy-meaty notes, this wine is ideal with richer poultry dishes (turkey, duck), roasted pork, or even a meaty beef brisket.

2 x Belles Vignes Collection GSM 2015
AWARDED COMMENDED: International Wine Challenge 2016
A classic Southrn French blend of Grenache, Syrah and the little known Marselan. Generously flavoured and sturdy, this is filled with dark fruit, game and spice characters, beautifully enhanced by fruit richness and smooth mouthfeel. The wine is well structured by pleasingly dry tannins, making it a wonderful partner to winter slow-cooked dishes and other flavoursome meat dishes. At its best: now to 2018.
Food Pairing: The genrous flavours in this blend will pair excellently with red meats and game dishes as well as the earthy tones of mushroom and pepper sauces.

2 x Les Vignerons Carignan Syrah 2015
AWARDED 87/100 POINTS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
"A brightly fruited and very easy on the palate, the wine shows youthful fruit flavours of dark cherries and plums together with attractive floral lift and spicy undertones. Silky, medium-bodied and rounded, this is a crowd-pleasing style offering superb value for everyday drinking. At its best: now to 2018." Sam Kim Wine Orbit Oct 2016.
This is ripe, fragrant and richly flavoured, showing dark plum, blueberry, almond and subtle spice notes on the nose. The palate is juicy and generous with excellent fruit purity as well as subtle savoury complexity, beautifully supported by fleshy mouthfeel and fine tannins. This is highly enjoyable, especially at this awesome price. At its best: now to 2018.
Food Pairing: The brightly fruited notes in this wine will pair fantastic with the smoky tones of juicy BBQ red meats such as beef steaks or lamb cutlets.
