Clos Cantenac Bordeaux Rosé Elégance 2022 Magnum
"Elégance rose - 100% Merlot - once again, the team behind Elégance rosé shows why, if you want good Bordeaux rosé, they are setting the pace. Pale barely-there blush in colour, savoury fruit of redcurrant and pink grapefruit, with rosebuds and a trace of white pepper spice. This is elegant and moreish." - Jane Anson

Clos Cantenac L’ Exuberance Rosé 2022 Magnum
"The 2022 L'Exuberence is pure Sémillon, aged 70% in stainless steel and 30% barrels, and has a light gooseberry and orchard fruit-scented nose. The palate is simple on the entry, perhaps lacking the tension found in the 2021, but there's decent depth with a sour lemon twist on the finish." - 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 L’Innocence de Séraphine Pomerol 2021
"The colour of this wine is a dark black cherry with good concentration right to the rim and displays great elegance on the nose of fruit that is finely delineated, showing of blackcurrant, damson and dark chocolate notes. Elegantly poised on the palate, it mixes dark black fruits with liquorice, chocolate and tobacco and is underpinned by a svelte bed of tightly grained tannins. It is nicely structured with perfumed fruit and cherries, touched with notes of white peach and sage, it delivers a fine persistence well into the finish where the tannic grip remains in harmony with the wine. Fresh, long, and quintessentially Pomerol." - Winemaker's notes

Château Séraphine Pomerol 2020
Château Séraphine Pomerol 2020, "This wine is made from 100% Merlot and is being aged in French oak barrels, 40% new, for 12-14 months, with a portion fermented and aging in a 1,000-liter clay amphora. The alcohol came in at 14%. Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Séraphine sashays out of the glass with gorgeous notes of candied violets, dark chocolate-covered cherries and raspberry preserves over a core of juicy black plums and fertile loam, plus a waft of truffles. The medium to full-bodied palate is packed with earth-laced muscular black fruits, supported by firm, ripe, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and mineral tinged. 3,200 bottles are due to be made." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate
