Château Galeteau, dating back to 1658, is a family-run estate nestled on the heart of Saint-Émilion's famed clay and limestone soils. Their 2024 offers incredible value, bursting with blackberries, cherries, and sweet spice. Layers of ripe dark fruit, balanced tannins, and a dark chocolate-plum finish make this a must-try.

A blend of two vineyard parcels, Les Planchots and Les Pimentiers, yields a unique combination. While one boasts stony, well-draining soil, the other features a clayey, less profound terrain. The vines, with an average age surpassing 60 years, and some exceeding 90 years, bear modest yields. However, their grapes are distinguished by remarkable ripeness and intense aromatic concentration. Taste With a medium intensity colour, the Savigny-Lès-Beaune of the Domaine Decelle & Fils offers an ele

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. About the Producer Château de Gourdon lies near Bollène, in the heart of the Southern Rhône. It has over 50 he

The Lebeau-Batiste Cuvée Millésimé 2021 hails from the small but characterful 2021 vintage. A traditional blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier, it was aged in bottle for three years after fermentation before release. Now with additional bottle age, it stands as a fine example of the estate’s precision and style. Vivino Rating 4.2 (March 2026) Blend: 50% Chardonnay - 30% Pinot Noir - 20% Meunier Taste Powerful yet refined, this vintage Champagne opens with a layered mix of red and w

'Vol de Nuit' is a pure expression of the Carignan grape variety from a selection of 3 very old parcels of vines dating back to 1900. The result is a wine with a very deep colour and an explosion of fruit, black cherry and spice. Simply wonderful!  About the Producer A story that began when, in 1816, Raymond Amiel won the deeds to this property from the Bishop of Perpignan over a game of cards. Then a mere 10 hectares, the fortunes of the estate have waxed and waned over the ensuing 200 years. W

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. Produced at Chateau du Glana, the close neighbour of Chateau Beychevelle, it shows the vintage's generosity and style in a more approachable way.  Vivino Rating: 4.1 (Oct 2025) Blend : 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot Taste With its classic bouquet of cassis, pencil lead, and violets and ripe, saturated pa

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

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.

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 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. Vivino Rating: 4.3 (June 2025) Blend: 85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc TasteWith a burst of cherry and blueberry flavors, the taste is rich and concentrated, with youthful tannins

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. The vineyards, for the most part, are planted on hillsides, where a local type of soil derived from white limestone called “cray” can be found.

93 Points - Decanter. Chateau Meyney 2020 is probably the best wine this impressive property has produced since its acquisition by Crédit Agricole Grands Crus in 2004. 2020 was an exceptional year in Bordeaux and the conditions seem to have agreed with Chateau Meyney’s well-placed vines.

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. The Guillot Clauzel 2013 is a fine example of this. The winemaking team didn't try and force the extract, rather, they let the gentle red an
