Chateau Barrail du Blanc Grand Cru St-Emilion 2015 Halves

Chateau Saint-Aubin 2018

An accessible, food-friendly style, this has elegance, grace and richness – a fine ambassador for both the vintage and the appellation

Inky blackberry aromas, with bitter chocolate and dark peppery spice. The palate’s dark cherry and raspberry fruit is ripe and velvety, with fine tannins providing definition. A crowd pleasing, decadent Pomerol from right bank superstars J-P Moueix

“Barry White”, as this 7 hectare estate is affectionately known at C&B, is a triumph and one of the great values. Huge colour, deepest red to the rim and with a dark, sinewy, pungent perfume of red and black fruits, this wine offers a palate that is sweetly intense, nicely balanced with firm, fresh but supple structure and really fine length.

An attractive, dark and deep garnet red, the wine has an intense and precise nose that opens on delicate aromas of spices, roses and plums macerated in spirits. Some roasted, toasted notes appear with airing. From a supple and highly refined attack, the mid-palate rapidly emerges on smooth, patrician tannins enhanced by a youthful freshness. The fruit, already there in the background, comes into its own, giving a harmonious, long and opulent finish.

Louis Mitjavile produces this from vines planted at the end of the Saint Emilion limestone ridge. Cool soils warrant late harvesting and create great intensity

A wonderful wine from Louis Mitjavile’s excellent site in upcoming Castillon, Côtes de Bordeaux, neighbour to Saint Emilion.

We are delighted to represent L’Aurage exclusively in the UK and Hong Kong. This property is owned by François and Emilie Mitjavile’s extremely talented son, Louis.

Personally owned by Christian Moueix, this is one of the great, gravel soiled Pomerols - lots of charm. The nose offers hints of strawberry and damson whilst the palate has lovely balance, a lithe, silky structure with powder-fine tannins, freshness, purity and length. Lovely wine.

The second wine of Château Gazin, this is one of the very greatest values in Pomerol.

This is known for its open, generous accessible style Opaque ruby colour. Arterial dark fruit, vibrantly fresh with that characteristic -inky- perfume. The palate is not just plumply ripe but possesses real density, is full flavoured and generously structured with a fresh and extended finish.

L'Hospitalet de Gazin 2015

Huge colour in 2016, opaque ruby. The nose is smokily dark with a linseeded, creamy fresh black fruit perfume. The palate is richly and powerfully extracted and just when you think that its power is at the limit of comfort, the freshness and charm of the vintage lifts it back into the pleasure zone. Ambitious yes, but it’s delicious. This is a property to watch.

This is one of Pomerol's top properties, personally owned by Christian Moueix and capable of producing some of the most insinuatingly seductive wine in this area.

Château La Grave à Pomerol offers briary black fruits on the nose, creamily ripe, very pure and fresh. The palate has that characteristic La Grave silkiness with supple, full flavours and - the key to 2015 - real density and fresh concentration to a long finish.

Neighbouring the fabled Pétrus, this wine is an example of the amazing quality this region produces. Packed with red and black fruits, bold and rich this wine is guaranteed to impress winelovers anywhere.

Chateau La Grave a Pomerol 2016

The nose opens with scents of forest fruits, blackberries, liquorice and bergamot. On the palate the fruit remains fresh and vibrant. Notes of oriental spices, plum and brown sugar bring intensity to the finish.

Chateau de Bel-Air 2016 Magnum

Roc de Cambes, in line with all of the Mitjavile wines offers the comfort of a warm slipper or duvet – sumptuous and yet focused.

Chateau Faugeres Grand Cru St-Emilion 1997

Lagrange is happily sited between Château La Grave and La Fleur-Pétrus. The 2013 vintage has a bright, black fruited, inky nose, with a palate that firms up well. This wine has really prominent chunky, but lithe, fruit, a chewy density and length with excellent balance.

Deep ruby coloured and an outstanding result in 2014, this has a startlingly fresh red fruit nose, almost atmospheric but weirdly, profound and rooted at the same time. The palate mirrors this but possesses a delectable density with layered, succulent juicy (that word again) fruits, a grainy but balanced structure and a long, intense finish. A very, very good Latour.

Deep purple to a firm bright cherry rim, this initially presents a clearly defined pain aux raisins note, with real crème pâtissière aromatics, toast, caramel, fruit and vanillin. Red and darker fruits are both prominent, the red berries perhaps having the edge, initially

The wine in 2013 quite excellent. Firm ruby colour. The nose has a perfume of beautifully fresh, inky black and red fruits and a palate that has an almost lazily, effortlessly deployed supple richness, ripe flavours and a generous and full finish. This is a ‘hearton-its-sleeve’ L’Hospitalet and all the better for it. In magnum - great for family gatherings
