Château Gloria St-Julien
Château Gloria is the lifes work of Henri Martin, who's Cabernet based wines are very individualistic. The Château has never joined the Syndicat des Crus Bourgeois. This allows Henri to be a little more creative and produce wines of great concentration for prices that are easily approachable. The 2008 is a great example of the Château Gloria style and has been rated 90 points by Robert Parker Jnr.
Le Baron de Brane Margaux
Le Baron de Brane, the second wine of Château Brane-Cantenac in Margaux, is an exceptional offering that combines quality and value. This wine is crafted from the younger vines of the esteemed Brane-Cantenac vineyard, which benefits from the region's gravelly soils and optimal microclimate. Winemaker Henri Lurton oversees the meticulous production process. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, preserving their vibrant character. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, with around 20% new oak, adding subtle complexity and structure. Each vintage of Le Baron de Brane offers a delightful nose of red berries, blackcurrant, and a hint of cedar. On the palate, expect a harmonious blend of fresh fruit flavours, fine tannins, and a touch of spice, leading to a smooth, elegant finish. This wine embodies the prestige of Margaux while providing excellent value, making it an ideal choice for both casual enjoyment and special occasions.
Wirra Wirra The Angelus Cabernet Sauvignon
CHATEAU DE FERRAND ST EMILION
Leeuwin Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
A concentrated dark fruit spectrum with an abundance of ripe blackcurrants, cherries and a hint of cassis. Coffee bean, dark chocolate and black olives lie beneath. Subtle dustiness combines with a seductive violet lift, enhancing the varietal fragrance and increasing complexity. A dense and layered palate with incredible texture. The generosity of the palate is carefully laced with a fine and structural acid line. Dark cherries and currants weave through smokey and mocha notes, finishing with long tactile tannins.
CHATEAU CORBIN ST EMILION
Cape Mentelle Cabernet Sauvignon
Cape Mentelle's Cabernet Sauvignon under the guidance of Rob Mann has become one of Australia's most prestigious Cabernet's. Sourced from what many believe to be the true home to Cabernet in Australia, the Margaret River, Cape Mentelle produce a wine that has a plush full-flavoured palate of concentrated blackcurrants and mulberries with a minerally spine. Richly textured and vibrant the palate finishes long with fine yet firm gravelly tannins. A superb candidate for some medium to long term cellaring.
Jean-Marc Burgaud Morgon Cote du Py Javernieres
Ch Montlabert Saint Emilion
Crimson in colour with a delicate shimmer. Powerful nose with subtle scents of high grade wood and baking spices, with an attractively fresh note of menthol. Rich and balanced on the palate. A well-managed aging process adds an appealing earthiness, with flavours of wild berries and mahogany. Long and elegant on the finish with molten tannins and the freshness so characteristic of this great wine
