Cab.Sauvignon Blend,
For laying down,
13% alc.
Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. The Ch de la Garde 2010 Pessac-Léognan is dark crimson with very attractive fresh fruit on the nose. Really savoury and luscious. There’s a middle charge of fruit here, which is lacking on many others. Though it is not that dense. Nice easy drink that seems to have been fairly ... MORE |

Southern Rhône Blend,
Ready, but will improve,
Organic (Certified),
Biodynamic (Certified),
15% alc.
A cold Mistral and the legacy of 2008 kept yields down in 2009; the corollary to this is a wine of great concentration and poise. This is a Vacqueyras of great purity and focus with red fruits, aniseed and hints, appropriately enough, of the garrigue. It is very silky with a long finish. |

Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery.
This is very sexy on the nose, with plenty going on and lots of freshness on the palate, despite the very ripe Merlot. This is a very well made and serious wine, and will be great value for money with a lovely long finish. |

12.5% alc.
Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. The 2010 Batailley wine is absolutely brilliant! I might just leave the note at that actually. Batailley is always faithful and true and it always delivers a great glass of proper Paulliac without pomp or fan fairs. It is not pretentious and you know (really, really hope this year) that ...

Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. This has been one of the most sumptuous, rich, verging-on-decadent wines with one of, if not the, best price tags in Bordeaux over the last 10 years, and this is the finest example to date. Crafted for early drinking, this is one of our top five value wines of 2010. (60% Merlot, 40% ... MORE |

Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. This has a lovely, perfumed cassis nose and is very fresh on the palate, despite the high percentage of Merlot, ending with a fine, long finish. A very good drinking wine, this is a great example of a well made second label. (Max Lalondrelle, BBR Bordeaux Wine Buyer) |
