92 Points - Jane Anson. Bordeaux's Saint Estephe is littered with undiscovered gems, and the Chateau Segur de Cabanac is one of our favourites. Being heavy on Cabernet Sauvignon, it enjoyed a hugely successful 2016, producing a 92-point wine according to leading critic Jane Anson. Rich and spicy with a lovely depth of flavour, bottle age has brought harmony and finesse to this cracking wine.   Vivino Rating: 4.2 (Oct 2025) Wine Press Ratings 92 Points - Jane Anson (2016 Vintage) 91 Points - Wine

93 Points - James Suckling. Le Télégramme comes from the younger vines of Vieux Télégraphe, from 30 years old wines, with a blend is 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 6% Mourvèdre and 4% Cinsault. Ageing is in vats for 10 months followed by foudres for a further 7 months before bottling. The result is a delicious fruit driven Châteauneuf du Pape which drinks very well in its youth. Exceptional value for the property. Vivino Rating: 4.1 (Aug 2025) Wine Press Ratings 93 Points - James Suckling (2022 Vintag

91 Points - Wine Spectator.Dave Phinney doesn’t make wines that whisper — even his Sauvignon Blanc has something to say. Blank Stare takes a grape known for its precision and dresses it in Californian attitude. A portion fermented in oak adds depth and texture, while fruit from Sonoma and the Russian River Valley keeps things bright and racy. It’s Sauvignon with swagger — bold, aromatic and just the right side of indulgent. Vivino Rating 4.0 (Sept 2025) Wine Press Ratings 91 Points - Wine Specta

94 Points - The Wine Independent. Dave Phinney doesn’t really do subtlety — and Mannequin is a classic example of that unashamed Californian swagger. This is Chardonnay dialled up to eleven: bold, textured and unapologetically hedonistic. Sourced from some of Napa and Sonoma’s best sites, it’s a wine that manages to marry power and polish without ever tipping into excess. Think of it as California sunshine in liquid form — but with the complexity and balance that Phinney’s meticulous blending al

93 Points - Cameron Douglas MS. A wonderful Burgundian style Pinot Noir from a producer who carefully select fruit from Marlborough's top organic single vineyards to produce wines of great elegance and complexity. An aromatic, savoury nose with notes of damson plum, dark berry, forest floor, nori, peppercorns, salami and salted, black liquorice. Medium-bodied, with plush fruit but still a seriously structured wine with layered tannins. Wine Press Ratings 93 Points - Cameron Douglas MS (2021 Vint

97 Points - Guia Penin. Pago de Carraovejas Cuesta de Las Liebres 2018 is one of the greatest wines of the Ribera del Duero. The 2018 scored 94 from Robert Parker, cementing its reputation as a wine to be compared with the likes of Vega Sicilia and Pingus. Made exclusively from Tinto Fino, the local name for Tempranillo, from a single high-altitude (850m above sea level) vineyard in only great years, since its release in 1991 it has become one of the most sought-after wines in all of Spain.

Situated in an enviable small enclave among the classified growths of Saint-Julien, 5 hectares of vines are surrounded by the grand crus classés of Leoville Barton, Gruaud Larose, Beychevelle and Talbot. "The Château Moulin de la Rose Saint-Julien is a wonderful showing. It instantly starts off with aromas of red and dark berries woven together with flowers, spices, new leather and toast all unwinding in the glass. On the palate this is medium to full-bodied with excellent structure and wonderfu

Crafted from a harmonious blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, this wine displays wonderful notes of baked apples and stone fruits layered with a biscuity richness. The 2017 growing season started well in the spring with an early budburst, followed by dry, sunny weather in May and June, and a very early flowering – one of the ear

93 Points - Revista Adega. The Fonseca 20 Year Old Tawny Port is a traditional blend of grapes including Tinta Roriz, Tinta Cao, Touriga Nacional, and Tinta Francesca. Under the expert guidance of David Guimaraens, a sixth-generation winemaker, nothing is left to chance. Grapes are gathered from the best vineyards in the Cima Corgo and Douro Superior regions and are made in the traditional way with fortification with grape spirit halting the fermentation to leave some residual sugar in the wine.

90 Points - James Suckling. The Chateau Pavillon Beauregard hails from Lalande de Pomerol, a commune of Bordeaux that made the most of the fantastic 2019 vintage. Lalande de Pomerol's best wines share many of the characteristics of the wines from its more famous neighbour, while offering great value for money - something no one could accuse Pomerol of doing. The Chateau Pavillon Beauregard 2019 received 90 points from The Wine Independent, and it's easy to see why. With its plump nose of crushed

The Lebeau-Batiste Cuvée Millésimé 2021 hails from the small but characterful 2021 vintage.

Now with additional bottle age, it stands as a fine example of the estate’s precision and style.

98 Points - Raffaele Vecchione. Solengo was the brainchild of the legendary winemaker and father of Super Tuscan wines, Giacomo Tachis. The first vintage was 1995 and is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Sangiovese. The wines are aged in French barriques for twelve months and are blended just before the bottling. A long period in bottle follows before the finished Solengo is released. Solengo, by the way, means solitary wild boar in Tuscan, and describes perfectly the regal, p

The second wine of Château Rouget. The terroirs dedicated to Le Carillon de Rouget are slightly higher than the ones selected for Château Rouget. This, combined with the relative youth of the vines, compared to the ones of the Grand Vin, result in earlier ripening and give the wine its roundness and appealing character.

A true classic from the hills of Valpolicella, perfect for slow dinners and special occasions.

Clement Fayat set up his construction business in the 1950’s. Having grown it to the 4th largest in its sector (just behind Bouygues – owners of Chateau Montrose) he decided to follow his passion and began to invest in properties in Bordeaux. A lover of Pomerol, he purchased Prieurs de la Commanderie in 1984 and has begun to achieve the potential quality that rough diamond always promised. Dusty garnet colour.

The Valdivieso Caballo Loco Grand Cru Limari is another of Valdivieso’s flagship wines, one that utilises fruit from their best plantings of Syrah, Carmenere, Malbec, and Pinot Noir grapes. While Limari is one of the finest of Chile’s wine regions, it’s also one of the most inhospitable. Annual rainfall of around 90mm (3.5 inches) combined with poor clay and chalk soils mean that vines struggle and the resulting fruit can be superb. A blend of Syrah, Carmenere, Malbec and Pinot Noir may not soun

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

The Viré-Clessé appellation, located between Tournus and Mâcon, is the most recent of the Mâconnais region’s village appellations (1999), exclusively made from Chardonnay grapes.

This delicious Vire-Clesse is from one of Burgundy's finest. Predominant aromas of fine intense fruit, the nose reveals a touch of lemon, mango and subtle floral notes. The pala

Marpésia, the Queen of the Amazons is the symbol of strength and solidarity. This delicious and elegant Rose champagne is a daring wine in which Chardonnay and Pinot Noir achieve a wonderful balance with the addition of 15% AOC Coteaux-Champenois red wine into the blend.
