Lafaurie peyraguey Golden Edition
The Lafaurie-Peyraguey Golden Edition 2018 from Sauternes, Bordeaux, France is a truly exquisite wine. In this vintage, the Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey has produced a masterpiece with its luscious blend of Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle grapes. Upon pouring, the wine reveals a deep golden hue, glistening in the light. The first whiff brings forth an intense aroma of apricots, honey, and candied orange peel, followed by a delicate hint of vanilla and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is rich and velvety, with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. Flavors of ripe peaches, figs, and honeycomb dance on the tongue, leaving a long and satisfying finish. This Golden Edition 2018 is a true representation of the exceptional quality and craftsmanship of Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey, a must-try for any wine enthusiast.
Les Forts de Latour Pauillac
Les Forts de Latour is the wonderful second label of the famous Château Latour of Pauillac. Les Forts lacks none of the legendary power and concentration of its elder brother although it is approachable at a much earlier age. Rich Cabernet influence dominates this wine that comes from Latour fruit that doesn't make the grand vin as well as the younger vine material. The 2009 is considered one of the truly great vintages in living memory and it is in these years that secondary wines like this Forst de Latour really shine. Value and pedigree all wrapped in one package!
Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande
Château Montrose
France's Bordeaux, is the spiritual home of the Cabernet family of grapes, which extends beyond Sauvignon and Franc to Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot. If you love Margaret River Cabernet blends, or indeed the Merlot dominant reds of Hawkes Bay, NZ, then you must look at the wines upon which many of them have been modelled. This wine is Cabernet and Merlot, deep and rich, cassis and earthy cedar, structure and uncommon length - all hallmarks of Grand Cru Bordeaux.
