Chateau Saint Cosme Condrieu 2016 Blanc 75cl, 13%
Chateau Pipeau Grand Cru Classe Saint-Emilion Magnum 2016 1.5L 14.5%
by a hot, dry summer. The flowering was rapid and homogeneous. The leaf removal was only carried out on
the rising sun side to avoid any phenomenon of scalding. The green harvest was carried out in two stages, the
first in July to ensure optimum distribution and aeration of the future harvest; a second in August resulting
in the elimination of maturing clusters. The overall maturation phase was exceptional with favorable weather
conditions, little or no moisture and cool nights. The introduction of sexual confusion in the vineyard has
prevented the appearance of perforations due to the budworms of the cluster. All these parameters made it
possible to determine with precision the optimum harvest date for each plot with perfect maturation and an
impeccable sanitary condition.

Chateau Mongravey Bordeaux Margaux 75cl, 13.5%
Notes on the Producer
Château Mongravey is located in Arsac in the famous Margaux appellation, about 22 kilometers northwest of Bordeaux. Created in 1980 by Régis Bernaleau by combining several prime parcels in Margaux, the estate produces an exceptional wine due to its unique location between Château Giscours (3ème Grand Cru Classé) and Château du Tertre (5ème Grand Cru Classé). The charismatic Karin Bernaleau joined the estate in 1999 and directs marketing and distribution for Mongravey. Her son, Jérôme, has now joined the family five year ago and is involved in the viticulture and vinification.
It became a “Cru Bourgeois” in the 2003 Classification and was upgraded to “Cru Bourgeois Supérieur” in the 2020 Classification. Mongravey is one of the best Margaux wines available today, surpassing many of the prestigious Classified Growths in quality and over-delivering for the price.
The vineyard is 36 acres in size planted mostly on gravely soil with low yields. After harvest from mid-September to mid-October, the wine is vinified in separate vats and undergoes cold maceration for 5 days to maximize color and to soften the tannins . The alcoholic fermentation lasts for 10 days and 50% of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in barrels. Finally, the wine ages 12-14 months in 60% new French oak before being bottled.
Chateau Malartic Lagraviere, Pessac Leognan Grand Cru Classe, Bordeaux 75cl, 13.5%
CHATEAU

Environmentally friendly driving for a Pessac-Léognan appellation vintage
Our experts combine modernity and tradition to deliver a great wine every year. Concerned about allowing biodiversity to develop in symbiosis, human intervention is limited to the strict minimum. Each gesture is studied, because we prefer to let the earth, the vine and the grape express all its particularity by reacting with the climatology.
Leaf stripping or green harvesting, for example, are only carried out when necessary. Between streams, pine forests and optimal sunshine, the estate extends over more than 73 hectares of vines, each plot expresses its character to deliver an exceptional white and red wine.

Chateau Le Boscq 75cl
Château Le Boscq features among the great classics of the Saint-Estèphe appellation. The first wine, Chateau le Boscq Cru Bourgeois, is a St-Estephe wine bursting with character, which elegantly combines the power of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, with the Merlot’s finesse, which is unusual for the appellation. Delicate and well-balanced, it has great ageing potential.
Incredibly deep, and still almost black in appearance. The intense and complex bouquet imparts lovely fruit intensity to notes of cedar, spice and precious wood. The wonderfully supple palate gradually gains in intensity. Densely-packed, silky and very fine-grained tannic structure underpins generous richness on the palate, and is coated with spice and ripe fruit flavours. Smooth and concentrated, the wine culminates in a notably long, lingering finish, characterised by freshness and spice.
Chateau La Louviere Rouge Pessac-Leognan Grand Vin De Bordeaux Magnum 1.5L, 13%
The 2021 La Louvière is quite intense on the precise nose of blackberry, wild strawberry, cedar and tobacco scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, fresh and vibrant, leading to an elegant finish. A success in a difficult vintage. 91-93 Neal Martin.
Lovely perfumed berry nose. Juicy and bright on the palate, this has a sense of joy to it and although the tannins come in and dominate the palate in terms of chewy texture the fruit has persistence and determination giving slightly sour cherry, strawberry and tangy raspberry the whole way through. I love the upfront nature here, the terroir on show in the glass, and the chalky tannins provide the support which will soften over time. Skilled winemaking on show. 92 Geogina Hindle, Decanter.
The epitome of cool blue friuit, on the border of full ripeness, where there is elegance and balance, expertly handled extraction, grilled almond and gunsmoke coming in under the fruit. This is a success, a lean, carefully constructed wine. 91 Jane Anson.
Chateau Grand Barrail Lamarzelle Figeac 75cl, 14%
The first few months of the year were characterised by high rainfall. Flowering went well, during an opportune, clement window of opportunity, confirming our initial hopes spurred by bud break in April. Fortunately, we avoided the hailstorms in May, which hit some of the vineyards on the right bank. Mild spring temperatures, coupled with high levels of humidity, placed us under serious pressure. The impending threat of mildew caused us to increase our vigilance in the vines. The return of very sunny weather gave hope to our teams, who had not relinquished their efforts to protect the vines, and adhering to environmentally- conscious protocols.
Hot and sunny, summer boosted ripening in the grapes. Significant water reserves accumulated at the start of the year protected the vines from excessive stress. We approached the relatively early harvests in a total state of calm, picking by hand and tailoring our schedules to individual rows. The grapes were exceptional in terms of ripeness and quality. We rolled out densimetric sorting across the vineyard, a practice introduced in 2016. This is followed by a final sort by hand to eliminate the last remaining MOG.

Chateau Gigognan Chateauneuf-du-Pape Clos Du Roi 75cl, 14.5%
Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre have their roots deep within the bedrock, contributing to the exceptional qualities of this wine. Hand-picked, very low yields, and 18 months of maturation in tuns and barrels create an exceptional result!
GRAPE VARIETIES Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre SOIL / CLIMATE
Located on the lower and middle terraces of Châteauneuf du Pape. Clay-limestone soil covered with rolled pebbles.
The climate is Mediterranean, subject to two dry seasons (one in winter and a longer summer) and two rainy seasons (brutal in autumn depending on the vintage and more clement in spring). Finally, the presence of the Mistral wind throughout the year constitutes a powerful ally for the cultivation of the vines.
VINIFICATION
Hand-picked with rigorous sorting in the vineyard and in our cellars. Partially destemmed grapes are fermented by plot (10 to 15% whole bunches in some vats) and fermented at controlled temperature in concrete tulip vats. Gentle extraction with light pumping over and punching down. Hot post-fermentation maceration lasting up to two weeks. Blended after malolactic fermentation, aged in barrels (20%) and foudres (30%) for 12 months, then 6 months in concrete vats

Cesari Recioto Della Valpolicella Classico DOC 50cl, 13%
The predecessor of Amarone, Recioto is the appellation’s signature dessert wine produced using a similar method. Flavors of raisined fruit, particularly cherries, are highly concentrated. Vanilla notes add structure to this powerful, rich red. The tannins are ripe and sweet rounding out the finish. Dried clusters are vinified in stainless steel and aged 18 months in French oak barrels. Unlike its predecessor, Recioto’s fermentation is halted, thus allowing it to retain a higher concentration of residual sugar.
Cenote Reposado Tequila (70cl, 40%)
Master distiller Arturo Fuentes and master blender Alejandro Garcia Páez create the Cenote Tequila range using blue agave which has matured for at least 6 years. Following distillation, the Reposado expression spends three months maturing in American oak casks, helping to develop a fruity, creamy sweetness to the distinctive spirit. The cork looks a bit like a crown, in all its shininess and ornate design. That’s wonderful. It deserves the crown for being so tasty.
