Long before their world-renowned Maison was founded in 1827, the Mumm family were producing wine in Germany’s Rhine Valley.

This is an exclusive blend created by Majestic’s rosé buyer, Matt Fowkes & winemaker Noémie Delavigne. Mythral plays homage to the fable of the dragon of Provence, ‘ La Coulobre’. The name ‘ Mythral’ is an ode to both the myth of this dragon & the Mistral wind that blows through the Provence region.

Winemaker Noémie Delavigne trained in Champagne & has worked in France’s finest wine regions, now crafting this enchanting bottling with zippy flavours of red berries, white peach & citrus with a mineral finish. It makes for a great aperitif but also try it with shellfish, fresh salads or even chocolate. ...

Blended from 8 different parcels across the appellation, this wine gives an excellent representation of the ‘terroir’ of Puligny-Montrachet. The domaine was inherited from father Gerard Chavy 2004 & was split with brother Alain, who makes wine under his father's name. Neither overtly fruity nor over-oaked, Jean-Louis Chavy’s wines are extremely well balanced, emphasising the classic minerality of Puligny-Montrachet. A model of finesse & elegance, drink with simply flavoured grilled white fish. Alternatively, drink this pure wine by itself. ...

Renowned Chilean winery Santa Rita was founded in 1880. Medalla Real was created to celebrate Francisco García Huidobro, an ancestor of the winery’s founders. He established the first Mint in Chile & had a medal coined to commemorate his innovation. Mature vines are used to create this complex wine.
