Elegant, understated, and quietly confident—this is rosé with a real sense of place. The 2024 vintage shows the finesse and freshness that make this a go-to bottle for long summer evenings. Taste Pale salmon pink. Wild strawberries, white peach, and rose petals on the nose, with a touch of garrigue. Crisp, dry and refreshing, with bright acidity and a subtle savoury twist on the finish.

The Chateau de Gourdon Terrasse a l'Ombre is made under the relatively rarely seen Côtes du Rhône Village "Suze-la-Rousse”. A blend of old vine Grenache and Syrah, each plot is harvested individually and several ‘tries’ may be attempted to ensure only perfectly ripe grapes are picked. To ensure the wines reflect the character of the vine and vineyard, they are fermented in stainless steel using natural yeasts. Taste With its wonderfully deep, saturated colour and bold bouquet of crushed plums, b

A traditional blend of Grenache (60%) and Syrah (40%), Chateau de Gourdon Vase de Pierre Cotes du Rhone is unusual in being so elegant and refined. Despite boasting an impressive 15% alcohol, its structure is fine and complex. This is achieved by de-stemming the Syrah, giving both grapes long (30 day), cool fermentations and keeping oak ageing to a minimum. The result is an impressively intense, but beautifully rounded wine. Vivino Rating: 4.1 (Jul 2025) Taste Deep purple, the bouquet is dominat

Château des Tours farms some of the oldest vines in Brouilly, with parcels in the lieu-dit Les Tours — a hillside plot on the edge of Combiaty where some vines are over 80 years old. First produced in 2014, this cuvée shows just how serious Beaujolais can be. A beautifully judged wine that proves Brouilly is capable of elegance as well as charm. Taste There’s real finesse here: pure blackcurrant and cherry fruit on the nose, a touch of spice, and a silky, refined palate with impressive depth and

In the heart of the minuscule 1000 hectare Fronsac appellation, tucked in between Châteaux Dalem, Haut Carles and Beausejour, lies this hidden jewel on the banks of the ambling Dordogne river. The microclimate here, created by the rolling hills of clay and chalk situated by the mineral rich river have an effect on the Merlot grapes which gives them stunning acidity. Plump, soft plummy black fruit flavours, medium to full bodied and a gorgeous satisfying mouthful. A must try great quality and val

92 Points - Wine Enthusiast. Château du Caillau Cahors Malbec is a striking example of the “black wine” from the Lot. Deep, dark and immediately expressive, it combines the power and structure Cahors is famous for with a purity of fruit that makes it approachable even in its youth. Rated 92 points by Wine Enthusiast, this Malbec demonstrates the region’s capacity for rich, layered reds that balance intensity with finesse. Taste On the nose, expect black cherry, plum and subtle violet aromas, lif

Second wines in great years have always been a great way for Bordeaux wine lovers to enjoy something special without breaking the bank. The Pavillon du Glana 2020 is a prime example of this.

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast. Château Fonroque produced an excellent wine in 2017. The 2017 vintage was unusual and not without its challenges. A hard (-6°C) frost on the 28th of April reduced the potential crop significantly as did a lack of rain in the spring. Happily a dry summer and sunny autumn allowed Fonroque to bring in a relatively small, but healthy harvest. The grand vin is a blend of 93% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc, a mix that played to the vintage’s strengths. Typically powerful and

97 Points - Falstaff. Gruaud Larose is Bordeaux wine royalty. The label bears the inscription, 'The wine of kings, the king of wines' and in spectacular vintages such as 2018 it's hard to argue with this. The Wine Advocate awarded it 95-97, one of the highest scores Gruaud Larose has ever managed, and with some bottle aging it's clearly showing that the final score will be at the upper end of this.

It's rare to find an affordable Pomerol, but it's almost unheard of to find a mature affordable Pomerol, but that's what we have with the Chateau Guillot Clauzel 2013. 2013 was a tough year for winemakers, and the harvest was small due to problems with rot, but the best worked hard to bring in a small crop of fresh, elegant wines that are now at their peak.
