Coquille de Mer Vermentino

A great example of the Italian Vermentino grape from France’s outstanding Languedoc based Xavier Roger. Coquille de Mer uses grapes from the Cebazan area to create an easy drinking, dry and crisp wine. Pale lemon in colour with aromas of lime, pink grapefruit, apricot and floral notes, it shows ripe peach and tropical notes on the palate with a balanced acidity and refreshing finish. A great alternative to Sauvignon Blanc. Ideal on its own, or with summer salads. A fabulous accompaniment to all seafood, creamy chicken dishes or asparagus risotto.

Wine Merchant Top 100 2023, Highly Commended. Wine Merchant Top 100, Highly Commended, 2022: “This is like pushing a wheelbarrow of ripe Granny Smiths, which have been drizzled with lemon juice, over a freshly mown lawn.”

Victoria Moore, Telegraph March 2022, “It’s still possible to find good wines for less than £10 – here are 50 of the best”: “Vermentino makes for a beautifully crisp and refreshing summer aperitif. This excellent one smells of pears, lemon blossom and meadow grass.”
