Bordeaux
Château Lafleur Grand Village Rouge 2021
"The 2021 Grand Village, a blend of 48% Merlot (picked on the 17th and 24th of September) and 52% Cabernet Franc (picked on the 2nd of October), is undoubtedly one of the best values in Bordeaux, revealing a fresh, gourmand bouquet with aromas of raspberry, cassis, spring flowers and loamy soils. Medium-bodied, tense and elegant with a supple, velvety texture, it’s perfectly balanced with powdery tannins and a long, mouthwatering, sleek finish that enhances its drinkability. While it offers plenty of immediate charm, it also has the structure to age over the next decade." - Yohan Castaing, The Wine Advocate
Les Perrières de Château Lafleur 2021
"The cooler vintage has lent the 2021 Les Perrières de Lafleur an even greater sense of transparency than preceding vintages, even if this bottling has always had a remarkably pronounced site signature. Unfurling in the glass with deep aromas of raspberries, plums, Indian spices, burning embers and licorice, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with beautifully refined tannins, lively acids and an intensely mineral finish." - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
Petit Cantenac Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2021 Jeroboam
"The 2021 Petit Cantenac has quite a plush nose of truffle- and leather-tinged red fruit, touches of sandalwood coming through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with plush tannins, and quite smooth and sensual – oddly New World in style, in a good way. This will have what the French call " - Neal Martin, Vinous

Clos Cantenac Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2021 Jeroboam
"The 2021 Clos Cantenac has an attractive nose with pretty raspberry, wild strawberry and light minty aromas, less reductive than it showed out of barrel. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh entry and crisp acidity, turning toward black fruit on the finish with light tertiary notes and decent salinity. This is a very commendable Saint-Émilion in a challenging growing season. " - Neal Martin, Vinous

Château Séraphine Pomerol 2021 Magnum
Château Séraphine Pomerol 2021, "A strong effort in a challenging year, the 2021 Séraphine offers up pure and fruit-driven aromas of raspberries, plums and cherries, followed by a medium to full-bodied palate that's quite rich and layered by the standards of the vintage, exhibiting powdery tannins and good persistence on the finish." - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

Château La Gravette de Certan 2019
"The 2019 La Gravette de Certan is a fleshy, charming wine, bursting with aromas of cherries, minty blackberries and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, ample and giving, it's sensual and succulent, with an enveloping core of fruit, supple tannins and lively acids. It's entirely composed of Merlot this year and largely derived from vines planted in 2010, supplemented by a plot planted in 1998." - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
