Located in Provence, one of Frances oldest wine producing regions, Château Les Mesclances is a winery with deep family history dating back to the Roman times. With the knowledge acquired through generations of wine making and the perfect climate offered by the Provence region, the producers use direct pressing through a mechanical membrane wine press. To make sure to get the best of the grapes fermentation temperature is strictly controlled. All their wines are Organic Conversion and Sustainable Certified.Les Mesclances Charmes, is a delightful and elegant pink salmon coloured rose. On the nose, it has scents of red fruits. On the palate it is light, slightly crisp. It is best enjoyed grilled meat, poultry, salads and great company.

Dating back to Roman times, and being one of only four Saint-Émilion producers elevated to the status of Premier Grand Cru Classé, it would seem Chateau Pavie has rather a lot to live up to - and by all accounts, they are holding up their end of the bargain with this years vintage. Retaining the glamour and panache of recent years, the 2016 has been thrilling and charming critics thus far, with many praising its superior balance and restraint. It is expected to cellar spectacularly, suggesting further delights yet to be discovered.

Regarded a Super Second (but technically a 3me growth), Palmer is capable of producing wines that equal or even outstrip the quality of its famous Premier cru neighbour, Ch. Margaux. The estate also makes a separate second label - named Alter Ego - which is made from similarly high-quality fruit but treated differently in the winery with the aim of producing a counterpoint in style to the First wine.
