CRAGGY RANGE WINERY Sophia Cabernet Blend, Gimblett Gravels, Hawkes Bay. Cepage includes Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabnernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

Pavie Macquin is a Premier Grand Cru Classe (B) growth of Saint-Émillion, planted mostly to Merlot on the region’s famous limestone plateau. The Chateaux is named after Albert Macquin, the man oft-credited with much of the innovation around rootstock grafting that eventually saved the vineyards of Europe from the infestation of phylloxera. Prior to the 1998 vintage the wines are thought to not adequately reflect the potential of the terroir of the property, but in the past few decades the chateau has built an incredibly strong reputation.

The Chateau Moulinet 1990 from Pomerol, Bordeaux, France is a wine that exudes elegance and refinement. Upon opening, the deep ruby hue immediately catches the eye, hinting at the intensity of the vintage. On the nose, aromas of dark cherry, blackcurrant, and tobacco mingle with subtle notes of leather and cedar. The palate is equally complex, with layers of ripe plum, blackberry, and dark chocolate, balanced by silky tannins and a hint of spice. The oak is well-integrated, adding depth and structure to the wine. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a rich and velvety sensation on the tongue. This wine has clearly aged gracefully, showcasing the quality and expertise of Chateau Moulinet. It is a true testament to the timelessness of Bordeaux wines. Enjoy now or cellar for a few more years to fully appreciate its potential.

With the estate itself dating back to 1772, and the logo taking inspiration from an ancient connection to the Knights Templars history in the Pomerol region, Chateau Gazin is steeped in both winemaking and national history. Sharing borders with Petrus and LEvangile, it more than holds its own among its distinguished peers! It has been in the possession of the same family since 1917, with the most recent descendent, Nicolas de Bailliencourt assuming control in 1988. Under de Bailliencourts watchful eye, the Chateau has abolished machine harvesting, making a return to hand-picking, and producing lower overall yields.
