Bordeaux's Fronsac wines are famed for their power and intensity, and the Chateau Tour du Moulin 'Les Terres Rouges' 2022 delivers this beautifully. Very deeply coloured, with a nose of plums, black cherries, purple flowers and star anise, in the mouth it's full, youthful, well-fruited and satisfying. While it will develop in bottle over the coming years, it's such a joy now with dishes such as sausages, lasagne, pizza or a Sunday roast, it's hard to resist it. Vivino Rating: 4.0 (Nov 2025) Tast

97 Points - Jeb Dunnuck. Vieux Télégraphe’s Blanc is a reminder of just how serious white Châteauneuf can be. Sourced from the stony Plateau de la Crau, it’s a wine that balances freshness with real depth. Clairette leads the way, supported by Roussanne, Grenache Blanc and Bourboulenc, giving a mix of citrus lift, gentle spice and that unmistakable salty, stony edge the estate is known for.
