CHATEAU TALBOT 2015
A racy wine, with complex marks of Havana tobacco and licorice, classically delicious without ever the slightest hint of austerity.
PIERRE PONNELLE FLEURIE ROUGE
Bright ruby red in colour. Scents of cherries, berries, flowers and herbs. Silky taste with a nice balance between the fruit and the acidity.
CHATEAU LAFON ROCHET 2016
Tight and classic aromas with darker redberry fruit, heavy flower bed, dark stone, light stable, leather and wood. Pretty full-bodied wine that offers itself with more freshness that the aroma image should indicate. Powerful with great redberry frui
CHATEAU SMITH HAUT LAFITTE 2014
A big black-cherry and bitter-chocolate nose leads into a rich, concentrated palate, where the fruit easily holds sway over the powerful, dry tannins.
KRESSMANN MONOPOLE ROUGE
Crimson appearance and flashes of copper.Complex bouquet of red fruit, vanilla and spiced aromas. Initially round and robust on the palate, the silky tannins on the finish reflect the ripe fruit character backed by hints of vanilla.
KRESSMANN SELECTION MERLOT
Dry with plum, blackberry, red currant, and tobacco notes. A nice deep red colour and just a very slight hint of spices.
MAISON TARDIEU LAURENT COTE ROTIE
Extreme ripeness, phenomenal concentrations. And, yet, no imbalance, but, on the contrary, a distinct nobility... Future superlative Classic !
PASCAL JOLIVET SANCERRE PINOT NOIR
Vegetal green notes with some tropical fruit and lots of minerality. High acidity but well balanced with a pleasant finish.
CHATEAU DE PULIGNY MONTRACHET MONTHELIE PINOT NOIR 2016
Medium expressed aroma of garden red berries (strawberry, raspberry and red currant). Slight notes of dried cherry with lemon hues and cinnamon.
