Country: France, Languedoc RoussillonGrape: Pinot NoirABV: 13%Style: Juicy Lively RedThe husband-and-wife team behind A23’s wines, Thomas and Gunhild, have a unique approach to winemaking. Above all else, they aim to produce wines that capture the essence of the grape they are using. While many winemakers are all about terroir and a taste of place, for Thomas and Gunhild, the grape’s the star. Taking this approach with Pinot Noir makes a lot of sense. Pinot’s innate complexity and style means it needs no augmentation or assistance. The A23 Pinot Noir is full of fresh strawberry, -

Country: France, BurgundyGrape: Pinot NoirABV: 14%Style: Savoury Classic Red95 Points - Jasper Morris. The Château Gris castle was built in the 18th century in the middle of its 3.5 ha (8.6 acre) walled vineyard. After the vineyards were destroyed by phylloxera, the roof of the castle was covered with grey slate although tiles are the traditional material used in Burgundy. The people of Nuits-Saint-Georges therefore began to refer to it as Château Gris (grey castle) and the name stuck. Further to a court ruling in the 1920s, the name “Château Gris” was allowed to prevai -

Major drainage work was undertaken to dry up the land and make it suitable for planting vines. This grapes in this vi -
Country: France, BurgundyGrape: Pinot NoirABV: 13.5%Style: Savoury Classic RedIf you have so much as a vague interest in red Burgundy, then this is a must-try wine.

Country: France, BurgundyGrape: Pinot NoirABV: 13.5%Style: Savoury Classic RedMade in a great village in the Côte de Beaune, this wine is produced in a unique environment - in that they only produce red wines.
