Marquis de Calon 2nd Wine of Chateau Calon-Segur
This is the second wine of Chateau Calon-Ségur, the third-growth Saint-Estèphe estate. A Cabernet Sauvignon dominant blend with smaller proportions of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, it is a more approachable, earlier-drinking style and serves as a great introduction to the Grand Vin. Savoury and mid-weight, it is produced from hand- picked grapes off the estate’s vineyards. Recent vintages have been matured in 50% new French oak barriques for 18 months.

Domaine de la Colline Domaine Trouille Pouilly Fuissé
Ideally situated at the foot of the famous Roche de Solutré, in the hamlet of Pouilly, the Trouillet estate is currently run by William (4th generation). The chardonnay fruit was hand-picked, gently pressed, then fermented in Burgundian oak to preserve freshness and finesse. The wine displays a fresh, open nose, the palate shows a good attack of vibrant flavour, with generosity and complexity important aspects of the signature. Sourced from 50 year old vines, this wine exhibits all of the finesse expected of the grand white wines of Burgundy.

Clement Rhum Vieux Colonne Creole
Distilled in the old columns of the Factory of Simon-located just in front of The Rum Company-small columns and entirely made of copper, this rum old Martinican was developed in exceptional conditions. The peculiarity of this columns lies in the exhaling of intense perfumes that give the rum a particularly expressive and round profile. This lot was chosen with care by the Maître de Chai and the oenologist of the House, Robert Peronet and Gaëlle Hardy. It is an assembly composed of rums aged between 3 and 10 years in red barrels of Bourbon. It is the gourmet and exotic notes of vanilla, coconut and chocolate that rub shoulders with those of dates and subtle tobacco, which seduced the experts Clément.
Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint Aubin 1er Cru Hommage a Marguerite
The Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint Aubin 1er Cru Hommage a Marguerite is a sensational wine that's already starting to show its brilliance. Made in honour of the winemaker's maternal grandmother, Marguerite, it comes from three different premier cru plots within Saint Aubin. As soon as you pop the cork, you notice the intensity of aromas, which span citrus, stone fruit, vanilla and some spiciness. Judicious use of oak gives the wine structure and added complexity without being overwrought and too"big" and buttery. There is a real elegance to the wine as everything is in great balance, and while it's already coming out of its shell, it will definitely benefit from some cellar time.
Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint Aubin Blanc
While not as famous as its neighbour Montrachet, Saint Aubin is capable of producing some excellent wines, as evidenced by the Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint Aubin Blanc. Sourced from vines with a range of ages, the wine bursts from the glass with floral and stone fruit intensity, with some citrus notes underneath. The acid gives the wine much vitality on the palate, with some buttery flavours and minerality adding some depth. All in all, this is a fine Chardonnay which hasn't even begun to show its full potential, so leave it for a few more years and then enjoy it with a huge range of dishes.
