L’Epiphanie de Saint-Estèphe comes from a very fine estate in Bordeaux’s legendary St-Estèphe appellation in the northernmost part of the Médoc – one of only two Second Growths. (There are actually no First Growths in St-Estèphe, so this is pretty much top of the tree.) First Growth Château Lafite is just across a stream to the south, which gives you an idea of the hallowed terroir we’re talking about. We can’t reveal which estate this wine comes from, but we can tell you that two of its Grand Vins from the legendary 2009 & 2010 vintages were rated a perfect 100 points by the great Robert Parker – wines that sell for nearly $200 per bottle! It's compellingly aromatic – a seductive scent of violets and ripe red fruit. The luscious palate delivers concentrated cassis and plum, with touches of mineral and cherry on the long, sensuous, minerally, finish. It's a sublime example of the lavish St Estephes from this great estate, silky smooth, velvety, complex and long.

The aromatics are true to type, initially delicate, even shy. Then as the glass warms a melange of spices including cardamom with hints of Lily of the Valley. The palate has drying raspberry entry followed by raspberries more fresh and zingy. All in all a long palate that really saturates your tastebuds with flavour. Please serve chilled. If you serve this wine at room temperature much of the magic of the Fairytale will be lost.

This rose is showing vibrant blueberry and floral aromas.The Luscious palate is filled with delicious flavours of light, fresh berry fruit followed by a crisp, fine acidity and long finish.

The Bouchard Aîne & Fils Vins de Table Rosé 2024 is a delightful example of a French rosé. The wine has a pale salmon pink hue, reminiscent of a summer sunset. On the nose, delicate aromas of fresh strawberries and tangy raspberries dance with notes of white flowers and a hint of citrus. The palate is equally enticing, with a crisp and refreshing acidity balanced by flavors of juicy red berries and a subtle touch of minerality. This rosé is the perfect accompaniment to a warm afternoon, enjoyed on a terrace with good company. With its smooth finish and well-rounded character, this wine is sure to leave a lasting impression. Bouchard Aîné & Fils have truly crafted a beautiful rosé in this 2024 vintage that is a true representation of the French terroir.

Beautiful salmon-pink robe, displaying fragrant fruity and floral notes. Round and full-bodied texture in the mouth, with an agreeably tender and velvety freshness.
