Alain Jaume CDR Grand Veneur
The Alain Jaume CDR Grand Veneur 2022 is a delightful representation of the Rhône Valley, France. This vintage is a testament to the expertise of Vignobles Alain Jaume, showcasing the unique terroir and the perfect growing conditions of the region. On the nose, notes of ripe black cherries, plums, and blackberries mingle with hints of spices and a touch of smoke. The garnet colour of the wine is alluring and inviting. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with a smooth and velvety texture. Flavours of dark fruits, such as blackcurrants and blackberries, dominate with a touch of earthiness and a subtle hint of oak. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a long and elegant finish. This wine is a true expression of the Rhône Valley and is a must-try for any wine enthusiast.
Château Mont-Redon Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape from the acclaimed 2007 vintage are wines to be treasured, lauded and above all else enjoyed. Truly delightful wines of true regional character and quiet concentration. The Château Mont-Redon is a prime example with an abundance of cherry, mineral and wild pastures on the nose and wonderfully refined slatey type flavours with more than enough flesh on its bones. Will cellar for 15 years with aplomb.
Guigal Côte Rôtie Brune et Blonde de Guigal
Guigal Cotes du Rhone Rouge
The Guigal family owns vineyards in prime locations throughout the Appellations of Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Hermitage and Saint-Joseph from where their iconic wines are produced. The Guigal cellars are located in the centre of the town of Ampuis, on the right bank of the Rhône River, about 40 km south of Lyon. The Côtes du Rhône region stretches 200 km from Vienne in the north to Avignon in the south. Côtes-du-Rhône is the workhorse red of the southern Rhône Valley and is blended from up to 13 grape varieties, but usually leans heavily on grenache and syrah (Shiraz). Deep, bright, garnet-red in colour, it is a fresh, crisp wine with small soft fruit and spices. A full-bodied, elegant wine, with mellow tannins, warmth and aromatic intensity.

Petrus
Chateau de Beaucastel Cotes du Rhone Coudoulet Rouge
A beautiful dark colour, the nose shows pretty notes of red fruit, raspberries, wild strawberries, spices and garrigue. The palate is powerful, full, with great finesse. The tannins are velvety and the finish has great length. The result of all the efforts and innovations of three generations of the Perrin family is evident when one has the pleasure of tasting a good vintage of Chateau de Beaucastel at its peak. If one word could describe the red wines of Beaucastel it would be 'pure', because these wines are the natural expression of the place and the grapes from which they come.
