Aromas of dark berry fruits such as blackberry, plums and cherries with background aromas of dried herbs and spices.
The complex flavours are of blackberries, plums, spices and hints of oak.
It has a soft entry with mid palate fruit sweetness and lovely texture.
A bright perfumed, supple expression of Marlborough pinot noir from clay hill slopes. The fruit is supported by bright florals of rose and violets with crunchy red berry fruit and dried herb notes. The palate is succulent with alluring red cherry, brown spices and silky fine boned tannins. This wine has all the makings of a long lived Marlborough pinot noir and matches perfectly with duck, red meats (particularly venison and lamb), and mushroom dishes.
A cult and very limited wine - the nose has clear notes of olives, which are calmed down and reveal sweet spices - a high minerality and remarkable power with balanced acidity and fruit., super balanced acidity and fruit. Clear notes of liquorice, pepper and cinnamon on the palate.

The 2021 has elements of Alain Graillot's Crozes (peppery, fruit-forward Syrah) combined with warming, baked fruit and spice notes that transport the drinker to North Africa. You don't have to accompany it with a tagine, but your guests will probably appreciate it if you make the effort!
Very expressive and perfumed and made in pure juicy and early drinking style Cabernet Franc.
Very fresh and fine with lovely light texture and very little tannin this is a perfect wine for spring and summer and early drinking.
Super attractive and smashable.
The new vintage is bright and perfumed, packed with succulent cherry fruit and finishing with crunchy freshness alongside a lick of mineral and dried chilli—a fine release, and just what you want from this type of agile, juicy Cabernet Franc. As Chinon’s most famous son, François Rabelais, once wrote: “Drink always before the thirst, and it will never come upon you.”
Highly regarded as the greatest estate in Chambolle Musigny, particularly for this Grand Cru Vieille Vignes Pinot Noir. Incredibly rare.
Deep and sustained color. In the mouth, full, sweet and very fruity.
The tannins are dense and refined.
The whole is elegant and of high class! Beautiful potential!
