Vins Fins Marque du Couvent takes its inspiration from a time when red wine wasn't a luxury reserved for special occasions, but the drink of merchants, sailors and families across Britain.
Long before Bordeaux became synonymous with fine wine and collectors' cellars, it was at the heart of one of the world's greatest trading routes.
At its 14th-century peak, Bordeaux was shipping around 80,000 ‘tuns’ or tonneaux of wine a year to England … by sail. That converts to roughly 8.5 million modern cases in today’s terms. Believed to be the largest trade the world had ever seen.
And the style of red they were drinking? Not rarified “sip and cellar” red wines, but hearty, fruit-filled reds made to be shared generously. Their success came from their ability to bring pleasure to thousands of wine drinkers.
Named in honour of Saint Vincent, patron saint of winegrowers, winemaker Vincent Galineau has made Vins Fins Marque du Couvent to capture the spirit of these medieval reds and pay tribute to the generations of vignerons who have provided wines for easy-going enjoyment.
Humble Vin De France on the label but seriously overdelivering on quality, this red is rich in Merlot and made in a fruit-forward style with ripe plum and blackberry flavours, supple tannins and a smooth finish – and here, in a handy miniature bottle.
Whether you’re gathering friends around the table, enjoying a midweek supper or opening a bottle for a relaxed weekend meal, Vins Fins is just the ticket for uncomplicated enjoyment. Serve alongside sausages and mash, cottage pie, grilled pork or mushroom dishes. Its soft, fruity style also makes it an excellent partner for pizza, pasta and hearty casseroles.
