France

France is often viewed as one of the old fashioned and traditional countries to buy wine from. To us this is partly true, but if you look hard enough you will also find some amazing wines with a modern interpretation behind them. What we mean by this are winemakers who respect the tradition, but also have a modern approach to winemaking. As France represents quite a large part of our portfolio, we have split this into regions.
