Crafted by the team at Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite, this Médoc is subtle, charming, and refined with rich dark cherry fruit flavours and sweet liquorice spice. Densely packed tannins and a long savoury finish make this the perfect Bordeaux for the dinner table. And it’s in the perfect format to age and develop for years to come.

Pure and silky, this is a fantastic example of Fronsac that offers great value next to the more illustrious appellations of the Right Bank. It has precise berry fruits on the nose and a peppery spice, as well as sweeter spice and wild herb aromas. Concentrated but still refined on the palate, with a long savoury finish.

Tasted April 2022. Montaiguillon’s 2021 is another example of what incredible value this property represents. Situated in an elevated spot right on the border of St Emilion, the terroir is exceptional. This year the wine has concentrated blackberry, cassis and spiced plum fruit, but a distinct fresh red fruit character as well, giving amazing freshness. There are developing savoury, graphite, earthy notes beneath which will develop and integrate with age. This is a fantastic, balanced, classic Bordeaux for every occasion.

The 2019 Branas Grand Poujeaux is delicious and incredible value. It’s full of left bank character with cassis and blackberry fruit, a floral violet note on the nose and fresh, appetising acidity. There’s plenty of breadth and velvet texture on the palate and hints of earthy complexity developing. It really does punch above its weight, you could easily mistake it for a Grand Cru Classé.

Made predominantly from the Tauxières village in Champagne, the PN TX17 is a stunning wine. It’s super complex, with notes of peach and wild roses on the nose. The palate has lots of red berry fruit, and very lively acidity. This is utterly delicious: a Champagne that comes very highly recommended.

Fermented and aged in new oak from the legendary Argonne forest, this is an exquisite release from Henri Giraud. So complex, elegant, and driven, with remarkable purity, too. This is a stunning fizz: not to be missed.

A truly unique wine, only one barrel made for the Napa Valley Premiere wine auction. It’s a collaboration of four leading winemakers, Cathy Corison, Rosemary Cakebread, Dawnine Dyer and Diana Snowden. And it’s the only blended wine ever to be sold at the auction. It’s incredibly complex, drawn from fruit from four corners of the Napa Valley. The complex berry fruits are complemented by tons of wild herb aromas and elegant mineral notes. It’s concentrated but refined, with incredible length and potential to cellar.
