The flavoured wines of the Middle Ages

Before spices reached Europe, wines were flavoured with fruit, aromatic herbs, flowers or plants. We offer a range of these ancient wines: sweeter than hypocras, they come in a wide variety of flavours.

Moretums, wines with fruit

Moretum dates back to Antiquity and was long known as the "monks' wine". It comes in sweet cherry, blackberry and black plum, and is also available as a set of 3 and a gift box of 3 moretums.

Coulindrum, with redcurrants

Coulindrum from the Pays d'Oc takes its name from an old word for the redcurrant. It is made by steeping redcurrants in white wine, then softened with a touch of raspberry and honey.

Herbs and flowers: sage, dandelion, rose, raspberry

• Saugée, a very smooth sage wine with a light taste of honey and lemon.
• Baraban, a white wine with dandelion root, fresh and slightly bitter.
• Rosae Vinum, a wine flavoured with rose.
• Vinum Raspeys, a white wine with raspberry.

All are served well chilled, as an aperitif or with dessert. To cook with them, try our moretum and coulindrum recipes.
