Shangri-La Ao Yun Cabernet Franc Cabernet
Luring luxury connoisseurs from around the globe, this Chinese red is making waves internationally for being the first legitimately competitive high-end wine to come out of the countrys developing wine production industry. Its production is a long, complex story of cooperation between the CEO of Moët Hennessy, Australian enologist Tony Jordan, the Chinese government and Tibetan farmers - and its yielded something spectacular. The name Ao Yun means roaming above the clouds - and the name is apt, as the vineyards which produce it rise up to 2,600 metres at the foot of a sacred mountain in Yunnan province, not far from the famed city of Shangri-La on the fringe of the Himalayas. This spellbinding terrain has produced a wine of powerful flavour, complex spice, and a silky texture with tannin to spare and massive aging potential. Dont miss your chance to own a piece of wine-making history from a nation with the potential to become a powerhouse.

Krug Vintage
Krug Vintage is one of the true Champagne icons and still maintains that lofty reputation today. A very charismatic fresh nose, promise of natural intensity and elegance with strong presence of fruits, fruits of all types. A diverse bouquet of orange aromas with some notes of liquorice and light chocolate biscuit can be enjoyed.On the palate, astonishing, balanced and delicate with significant fresh, tropical, wild and crystalised fruits. It is a hymn to fruit: red, white and citrus fruit with notes of cassis, chocolate, candied-orange peel, cocoa beans, honey with hints of smoke and toast enhanced by a vibrant, persistent long finish.
M Chapoutier Le Pavillon Ermitage
Chapoutier Le Pavillon Ermitage should be considered the perfect Hermitage wine. Reminiscent of the 1991, the 2006 Le Pavillon has a wonderful opaque colour of dark purple with a brilliant nose of smoky oak, cassis and truffle. In the mouth the wine truly sings with remarkable flavours of licorice, blackberry and intense dark cherry. The tannin precision and length of acid are truly exceptional and will help this behemoth of a wine cellar up until the 2040s!
