Waddesdon Rothschild Collection Pinot Noir, IGP Pays d’Oc, France
£12.75 – £72.00
This brand new range of varietal wines, selected by our team at Waddesdon, represents the finest quality ‘house wines’ we have ever released. This collection of wines offers an impressive level of purity, definition and varietal expression that is rarely associated with this category and price point. After a series of blind tastings our Rothschild Waddesdon range performed exceptionally, and we are incredibly proud to call these wines our own. We hope you have as much fun tasting them as we did selecting them.
Tasting notes
Sourced from a cool vineyard near Limoux which is planted on Marl from the Oligocene period. This is ideal soil for the production of great Pinot Noir. Just 20% of the wine has been aged in French oak which adds a toasty spicy depth. There’s plenty of fruit and fairly muscular frame which leads to a spicy liquorice finish. This actually fairly full bodied, it’s got a nice core of juicy red fruit and loads of sweet earthy spice. A powerful and confident Pinot.

Waddesdon Rothschild Collection Merlot, IGP Pays d’Oc, France
£12.75 – £72.00 Buy Sourced from southern facing vineyards on the edge of Montpellier, with vines approaching 45 years of age. Old vines are not usually the source of fruit for wines that accommodate the sub of £10.00 bracket; another wonderful trait this new collection of wines has to offer. A small proportion of the wine (10%) is aged in French oak. This helps to provide the merlot fruit with spice and texture. Spicy notes with eucalyptus and red fruit aromas on the nose, followed by sweet fruits and mellow tannins on the palate. An approachable and moreish Merlot!
