One of the finest and most ethereal of all Burgundies, Domaine-Mugneret Grands-Échézeaux comes from a small 1 hectare plot of old vines averaging in age between 40 and 70 years. Silky and intense with a beguiling perfume of violets, fresh cherries, earth, leather, forest floor and truffle, the wine shows lovely volume and density with the structure to age gracefully over many years.

One of the most famous - as well as one of the most expensive - wines in the world, Chateau Lafite Rothschilds history dates back to 1235, by which time, it is believed, the vines were already planted and thriving. Nearly 1,000 years later it still retains the name of its then-owner Gombaud de Lafite. It wasnt until 1868 that the Rothschilds came to become the Chateaus owners, after it was sold at public auction in Paris - and it remains in their hands today. Producing an elegant Paulliac wine, Chateau Lafite is renowned for its characteristic blend of rich dark fruit with spicy, savoury and earthy notes of cassis, tobacco, and truffle. The 2016 earned sterling reviews, with James Suckling scoring it a perfect 100 and speculating on its standing as Perhaps the greatest Lafite since the legendary 1959.

The Vérité La Joie Sonoma Valley Cabernet Blend 2006 is a masterpiece from the renowned Jackson Family Wines, hailing from the picturesque Sonoma Valley in the United States. This vintage exudes elegance and complexity, with a deep ruby color that hints at the concentrated flavors within. On the nose, aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and dark chocolate dominate, with subtle hints of cedar and clove adding layers of depth. On the palate, this full-bodied wine boasts rich flavors of blackberry, cherry, and espresso, complemented by velvety tannins and a touch of spice. The finish is long and lingering, leaving an impression of finesse and balance. Aged for 23 months in French oak barrels, this wine is a true representation of the terroir and is best enjoyed with hearty meat dishes or aged cheeses. A true gem from Sonoma Valley, the Vérité La Joie 2006 is a must-try for any wine connoisseur.

Based on Cabernet, Sassicaia is one of the first Italian reds to be made in the image of Bordeaux. In the late 1990s Sassicaia was granted its own DOC, the only wine from a single vineyard to enjoy this privilege.
