The family behind DBR Lafite has been producing wine in Bordeaux since 1868. Their understanding of Bordeaux has been culminating over six generations, driven by the purpose of allowing wine lovers all over the world to be able to dive into the originality of the varied appellations and terroirs with confidence. DBR Lafite is also B-Corp certified, demonstrating their commitment to environmental and social responsibility. The wines of the Saga R range serve as the reference point of each appellation, with a focus on expressing the freshness and elegance that make Bordeaux great. For Saga R Bordeaux Rouge, there is a higher proportion of Merlot (70%) with remainder of the blend (30%) sourced from well-exposed slopes suited to Cabernet Sauvignon. The Bordeaux tradition of blending these grapes is followed to make a more harmonious wine, and no oak is to preserve the purity of the fruit. A gorgeous bright, crimson purple in appearance, with aromas of dark berries (blackberries, blackcurrants) and Morello cherries. The palate is dense, harmonious and balanced with an aromatic, spicy finish of liquorice. Wonderfully fresh, with richness and excellent drinkability.

These wines are very fruity, with aromas of red fruit and blackcurrant alongside floral overtones reminiscent of violet. They combine the tannic power of great vintages with a deliciously velvety texture and rare smooth, powerful, and generous on the palate. Their relativy high level of acidity gives them an admirable freshness and tremendous balance, without any hardness.

Ronan by Clinet continues its reign as an undisputed best-seller, and the 2018 vintage is no exception. This 100% Merlot red offers a luscious, ripe experience reminiscent of the sought-after style of Pomerol's grand vins. Expect an opulent, sumptuous wine with intense flavors of black cherry and plum, all wrapped in a rich, powerful, and fruit-driven nose. It's the perfect choice for those who love Pomerol and crave a delicious, concentrated expression of Merlot.

2023 Clarendelle Bordeaux Rosé is a brilliant, clear, pale pink colour. The nose is very complex with aromas of raspberry and pink grapefruit reminiscent of boiled sweets. The mouthfeel is dense and velvety, with a subtle tannic structure, accompanied by a lovely freshness. Red fruit notes come to the fore, mingled with hints of tropical fruit, such as lychee and mandarin orange. All in all, a very fruity and well-balanced wine underpinned by slightly salty, mineral nuances. The aromatic intensity makes for a delicious wine with a long, delicate aftertaste.

The 2018 Chateau Valandraud & Thunevin Domaine Virginie Thunevin AOC Bordeaux is a stunning representation of the Bordeaux region. This vintage boasts a deep ruby red hue with a purple rim, displaying its youth and vibrancy. On the nose, aromas of ripe blackberries, plum, and cassis mingle with hints of oak, vanilla, and a touch of spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with a velvety texture and well-integrated tannins. The fruits from the nose continue onto the palate, along with notes of dark chocolate and a subtle earthiness. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasantly dry sensation on the tongue. This wine is a true testament to the expertise and passion of Domaine Virginie Thunevin, and will surely age gracefully in the cellar. Enjoy with a hearty beef dish or a selection of artisanal cheeses.

Since 2007, Ferrand has also had a second wine: the Différent de Château de Ferrand. Coming from the same terroirs, it benefits from the quality requirements of its elder. It can be enjoyed young, its finesse and aromatic elegance make it a pleasant wine to drink in all circumstances.
