Food Wine & Cheer

So Frenchy is about so much more than the music.

Once again the boutique caterers Egg Unlimited will be providing sumptuous hampers and picnic boxes packed with authentic French fare. Egg’s picnic boxes are made on the day using all their own, hand-made products. The breads and pastries are baked using traditional methods and filled with ingredients sourced from local markets. Egg’s philosophy of sourcing seasonal, sustainable ingredients for the creation of gorgeous foods makes these boxes fit for Summer eating.

There will also be French beer, Laurent Perrier champagne and Halle aux Vins wine from the Loire Valley and Provence kept chilled and flowing all day from a general bar and a styled champagne bar. Halle aux Vins is a local importer that draws its exceptional portfolio from annual pilgrimages across the French winemaking landscape. You’ll love the chenin blanc, the rosé and the other drops they’ve selected to match So Frenchy on a summer’s day.

Plus more food stalls than in 2012 will keep everyone satisfied with macaroons, cheese platters, gourmet sausages, cassoulet, pissaladiere, tarte lyonnaise from the restaurant Libertine and other tasty treats.

2007  Côtes de Provence red  ”Note Bleue” - Vignerons de St Tropez  (Syrah-Mourvèdre)

Ruby red robe with garnet reflections. The nose is powerful with aromas of small red fruits mingling with leather and liquorice, beautiful texture with persistent spicy notes and soft tannins.

2010 Marcillac red “Les Burons” - Vignerons du Vallon (Mansois)

Hailing from the Marcillac valley of the Aveyron region, this gourmand wine is a fruit bomb, suggesting delicious ripe red fruit such as raspberry and cassis. A touch of spice too, very inviting.
