TRIMBACH Cuvee Frederic Emile Riesling, Ribeauville

The Blanc de Duhart Milon (Le) 2021 is a stunning white wine hailing from the prestigious Bordeaux region in France. Crafted by the renowned Chateau Duhart-Milon Rothschild, this vintage showcases the epitome of elegance and finesse. On the nose, delicate floral notes of white lilies and jasmine intertwine with hints of fresh citrus and pear, giving way to a crisp minerality. On the palate, the wine is beautifully balanced with a creamy texture and vibrant acidity. Flavors of white peach, green apple, and zesty lemon dance on the tongue, leaving a long and refreshing finish. The wine displays a pale golden hue, reminiscent of early morning sunlight on a dewy French vineyard. Perfect for any occasion, the Blanc de Duhart Milon (Le) 2021 is a true expression of Bordeaux's terroir and the craftsmanship of its producers.

The 2010 Chateau d'Issan is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, showing 'classic Margaux' in its perfume, finesse and apparent elegance. Soils are gravel and clay, which contributes to the high-tones of perfume from the wine, and though an estate that is neccesarily clawing its way back to a higher profile, is doing so with deeds in bottle over showmanship. On its side, the vineyard is dense with older vines that naturally offer lower yields, allowing for a higher quality of fruit for the winemaking team, in turn producing a wine of stellar quality from 2010.

Left in a sorry state by the previous owners, in 1962 the Rothschilds of Lafite took over the property and begun to reconstruct the vineyard which was planted mostly to Petit Verdot. 4 decades later and the wines of Château Duhart-Milon are now showing the flavour and concentration you expect from such a site in Pauillac.

Château Brane-Cantenac sits in a prime position on the plateau of Cantenac and makes full use of its excellent terroir. No doubt something that Baron de Brane was aware of and along with his viticultural talents were the reasons behind the estates rise to fame. Now tended by the Lurton family, the wines continue to be in great hands. Of the 2009 vintage, Henri Lurton is known to have said that the winery was enveloped in aromas of raspberry and blackberry even before fermentation began! Even though fruit ripeness is an obvious trait, the balance and structure of the wine are also clearly evident which will see the wine age for a decade or two more.

Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste produce some of the best value wines in the Pauillac region, if not simply some of the best quality in general. Cabernet based reds are their staple and generally produce wines of a robust and masculine nature. In recent years the wines are close to rivalling the famed Pichons .
