The 2017 Chateau Boyd Cantenac from Margaux, Bordeaux, France is a true testament to the rich and complex terroir of the region. This vintage is a blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, with smaller amounts of Merlot and Petit Verdot, resulting in a deep ruby red color with hints of purple. On the nose, one is greeted by intense aromas of ripe blackberries, cassis, and dark cherry, intertwined with notes of cedar, tobacco, and a touch of vanilla from the oak aging. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with a velvety texture, showcasing flavors of blackcurrant, plum, and a touch of spice. The tannins are well-structured and balanced, leading to a long and satisfying finish. This 2017 vintage from Chateau Boyd Cantenac is a must-try for any Bordeaux lover and will continue to evolve beautifully with age.

The old school of the UK wine market have long loved the wines of Chateau Talbot, and the 2010 would have them purring. Chateau Talbot is a producer that occupies a large (102 hectares) swathe of land under vine in Medoc and makes wines that are set to a more traditional style, including rich wood scents, firm tannins, some rustic charm and a cassis-meets-violet fruit profile. This is a superb release of the wine, reminscent of classic Talbots that are sinewy when young, but still approachable, and for enthusiasts, glorious with cellar time.

Château Pavie Macquin is stunningly situated on the clay-limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion on the right bank of Bordeaux. In recent years, the introducing of biodynamic viticulture and modernised winemaking techniques promoted the Château to a Premier Grand Cru Classé classification in 2006. Vintage 2007, a traditional blend dominated by Merlot with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon brings a rich palate brimming with ripe berry fruit flavour with slight undertones of tobacco and mint leaf.
