2005 Red, drink-or-keep
Ch. Sainte Colombe, Côtes de Castillon -- Château Sainte Colombe -- France
Cab.Sauvignon Blend, 13.5% alc.
A great example of an appellation punching above its weight, from a truly great vintage.2005 yielded grapes of perfect ripeness so there was wonderful consistency amongst the wines of the region across all price points. This wine exhibits juicy, lush, plummy characteristics, backed by fine-grained tannins, and has surprising complexity on the finish. Try it with grilled lamb or light game dishes.

Morgon, La Voûte St Vincent, Domaine Louis Claude Desvignes -- Domaine Louis Claude Desvignes -- France
Gamay, 13% alc.
Louis-Claude Desvignes is a 7th generation vigneron currently producing some of the finest Morgon in the appellation. His Voûte St Vincent cuvée comes from various plots located on slightly different soils throughout the village, being largely a mix of decomposed granite, schist and clay. Louis-Claude has handed over the day-to-day running of the property to his charming daughter Claude Emmanuelle, now assisted by her brother Louis-Benoît in the vines. They tend to harvest later than other vignerons in the appellation with the intention of obtaining fruit of optimal ripeness.

The wine is vinified by the traditional cru Beaujolais method with a grille to keep the cap submerged. Recently, the fermentation has been longer and more controlled than in the past, in order to extract the deep colour and depth of fruit that are the hallmarks of these wines.
