Le Tarral Montpeyroux 2018

Item Code: 4237018

Description

Southern France's Languedoc produces red wines of remarkable richness and depth. Long lived too, when they come from smart areas like Monpeyroux. A 3-way split of deeply concentrated Carignan, Grenache and Syrah, it's velvety with herbal black fruit.

Ambitious to achieve full cru status, Montpeyroux lies just northeast of Montpellier, nestled in the foothills of famous Larzac, the wines of which go for a high sum. Montpeyroux is a small village that has been prized for its exceptional wines since the Romans. It used to be an important trading post, as well as a refuge for pilgrims on their long trudge to Santiago de Compostella. This spring, our buyer based close by discovered this terrific red in the local wine bar and sought out the cellar. Vineyards here are buffeted all year round by the strong local wind, La Tramontane. It helps keep the vines disease-free and means the grapes ripen only slowly. Old-vine Carignan, Grenache and Syrah, it's a rich dark partner for a hearty casserole.

Low Stock Vertiges 2022

Vertiges 2022

Item Code: 4089322

Description

The name 'Vertiges' translates as 'fear of heights'. Apt for a wine made from grapes gathered on precipitous slopes by Peyrepertuse Castle. 500m above sea level on a ragged Pyrenean peak, the vines produce a wine with luscious, ripe flavour.



A fear of heights is a non-starter for those working in the vineyards of Vallée du Paradis. They perch perilously on the slopes below Peyrepertuse, an ancient Cathar fortress some 800m high in the Pyrenees. So collecting the intensely fruity, aromatic grapes is not for the faint-hearted. Luckily, winemaker Benjamin Andrieu is willing to put fear aside to tend them.

?The result is a really appealing red, with bright fruit and seductively spiced notes. Syrah brings ripe blackberry, herbs and liquorice notes, while juicy Grenache and peppery Carignan add even more depth and body. A top choice for those who love smooth, silky reds with the warmth of southern France. Great with grilled meats, pasta with pesto, aubergine bake or on its own.

Low Stock Cachibaché Shiraz Malbec 2021

Cachibaché Shiraz Malbec 2021

Item Code: 4215121

Description

In Mendoza, if something is described as Cachibaché, it is of little interest to one man, yet of great value to another. And that is how the Zuccardi family came to own the vineyard that gives rise to this very intense, velvety, old-vine red.



Rated third among the top 10 wineries of Chile and Argentina by The Wine Report, Zuccardi are hugely impressive. Several years ago, their vineyard manager stumbled upon a very old vineyard in Mendoza. The owner, smoking a pipe under a tree, described his small, nuggety grapes as Cachibaché, meaning they were of little value to him (barely bringing in a profit) but potentially of great interest to someone else.

This was because old, low-yielding vines can produce very intense, complex, deeply coloured wines, albeit in tiny quantities. So Zuccardi winemaker Rubén Ruffo got to work. His Cachibaché 2021 is a blend of Shiraz and Malbec, all from this ancient vineyard. Dark fruit and spice, it's superb with lamb shanks and hearty pasta dishes.

Château Haut-Bergey 2007

Item Code: 1851507

Description

Critic Robert Parker described this as "Consistently one of the top, under-the-radar wines of Pessac-Léognan". It has to be good to have 14 years age and still be tasting silky, complex and long. A mellow claret with earthy, leafy red fruit length.

Haut-Bergey dates back to the 15th century, a time when the vineyards of Pessac Léognan were more numerous, and even praised by the diarist Samuel Pepys. These days many have been engulfed by the city of Bordeaux – sadly, as this is where some of the region’s greatest, often undervalued clarets can be found. This property was purchased by Sylviane Garcin Carthiad in 1991 and full renovations begun in the cellar and vineyards. It shows in the superb quality of the wines and their longevity. Cabernet-led, with a sizeable portion of Merlot lending roundness, it was aged in 50% new oak barrels for 16 months. Showing mature dusty fruits, it is mellow, with cedar, earthy, spice complexity. Serve with game or, as a plain foil, with chicken.
