Just like this Cinsaut tumbles softly across the palate, so too did Marie Antoinette come to a tumbling end on 16th October 1793. She said her famous last words, “Pardon me, sir, I meant not to do it.” when she accidentally stepped on her executioner’s foot on her way to the guillotine

This French Corner red is a gorgeous Mediterranean blend of Grenache Noir, Mourvèdre and Cinsault that offers juicy dark fruit, savoury richness and supple tannins.
