Sommelier Selection
This expressive, barrel-fermented Viognier seduces you with the beautiful perfume of honeysuckle and orange blossom and a textured palate of apricot, kiwi and pineapple. A sensual and exotic experience. Asian inspired cuisine; lamb tagines with apricots; or rich shellfish dishes such as seared scallops or grilled lobster.
Purple Angel displays the rich flavours typical of Carmenère. Deep carmine red in colour, this wine has aromas of blackberries, ripe blueberry, dried plum and candied fruit combined with toasted notes of nutmeg, sweet spice, vanilla and pastry. On the palate, it is well-structured with rich tannins, a balanced acidity and a long, lingering finish.
This wine is straw yellow in colour with green nuances. On the nose, there are intense aromas of citrus and passion fruit, with herbals notes of sage and basil. The wine has excellent balance in the mouth and showcases a rounded, fuller style of Sauvignon Blanc and the freshness that is characteristic of this region. The finish is long and lingering.
A mature Brunello showing a decisive and fine bouquet of hints of vanilla, deep red cherries, raspberry and a touch of liquorice. Elegant and well textured, with a warm, smooth palate that leads to a long, sustained finish
This wine is bright ruby red in colour with an intense bouquet of raspberries, wild strawberries and redcurrants, intertwined with sour cherries that are typical of a cool vintage Sangiovese. The bright fruit flavours mingle with scents of violet and Mediterranean herbs. Elegant and distinguished, the palate reveals its impressive structure with a lively freshness and a centered, fruity core. Fine-grained tannins lead to a fragrant and deliciously savoury finish.
This Shiraz has a powerful nose, spiced with pepper and mineral elements. The co-fermented Viognier adds richness and perfume to both the nose and palate. Intense dark fruit and earthy long tannins on the palate complete the delicate structure and overall elegance of the wine.
The colour is superb, deep but brilliant, the bouquet laden with ripe cassis fruit, the palate threaded with streams of black fruits, firm tannins and high quality oak.
This wine is precise and fills the palate with flavours of toasted brioche and tangerines. It is incredibly concentrated with refreshing acidity and is perfectly balanced. It is drinking well now but will also develop favourably with further bottle ageing.
The Meursault 1er Cru "Les Charmes" displays white peach aromas with floral notes and subtle hints of toast. The concentrated palate has a creamy texture balanced perfectly by lively acidity that follows through to the finish.
This wine is a study in structure and refinement. Deep garnet in colour, it expresses aromas of boysenberry, cedar and clean earth. Well‐delineated, featuring finely sculpted layers of pipe tobacco, leather, dried herbs and wet slate. Structured, polished and precise tannins are accented with vanillin over an intense 60‐second finish.
The nose shows lively dark berry fruit and Morello cherries with hints of star anise, ground fennel seeds and cedar. The wine is exceptionally linear and precise, yet lithe and elegant. The complex dark berry fruit follows through from nose to finish with a minerality that reflects the 100% decomposed dolomite granite of the soil. The wine is characterized by its amazing concentration derived from the extremely low yielding single vineyard.
