La Porte des Princes Merlot 2022

Item Code: 3551522

Description

Irresistibly delicious, this wine shows that Merlot can produce super tasty reds in the Vaucluse. This area's proximity to the Med, in the south of the southern Rhône, brings a wealth of sun-kissed plummy fruit with a sprinkling of spice.



Vines have been planted in this very southerly part of the Rhône since Roman times. They certainly knew a thing or two about making wine, so it’s safe to bet that this terroir is spot on for great wine! Typically, when you think of the Rhône you think of Syrah and Grenache. But award-winning winemaker Thierry Ferlay has shown that, in fact, Bordeaux's Merlot ripens perfectly in his local vineyards, not far from Châteauneuf.

Using old-vine fruit for extra intensity, he has created a silky red with plum and blackberry notes and a hint of pepper and liquorice. Easy going and fruity, it makes a delicious glassful on its own as well as a great stand by for mid-week suppers from sausages to shepherd's pie. A top choice for a barbecue too.

Château Moulin du Prieur 2022

Item Code: 3752622

Description

Moulin du Prieur is from Ludovic Roussillon, the winemaker behind the generous ripe fruit and velvety tannins of Château Le Coin. Here you’ll find the same appealing style. Generous creamy plum and spice notes.



Ludovic Roussillon is one of the top viticulteurs in Bordeaux’s Entre-Deux-Mers. He knows how to coax the very best out of his soils to get the most flavour in his grapes. Work hard in the vineyard and the wine almost makes itself, he says. We’ve worked with Ludovic for a number of years, enjoying both his red and his white from Château Le Coin. This is another wine from his vineyards – mostly Merlot, with a little Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon – all vinified to bring out the fruit richness, supported by sleek tannins.

Rethink Bordeaux with this supple, generously fruity, rounded red. It’s already drinking really well, with or without food. Roast beef, full flavoured pasta dishes, charcuterie, cheese – this wine is very versatile.

La Tire Organic 2022

Item Code: 3475522

Description

Jeff Carrel’s La Tire isn't shy of an award or two. Each vintage this classy Carignan-Syrah attracts high praise from critics. Jeff sources grapes from high-up slopes, difficult to access. All the richer for that, with peppery black fruit and spice.

Château Dalem 2020

Item Code: 2856020

Description

Fronsac is one of Bordeaux's lesser-known regions, but it produces wines of great character and depth. Château Dalem is an historic estate with records dating back to 1610.

Its vineyards are nearly all planted to Merlot, with a small amount of Cabernet Franc, and tended with meticulous care. As you can see from critics' scores, it is an admired claret and one that ages very well too. Matured in French oak (50% new), it has structure and length, but above all an appealing depth of luscious fruit and spice – like Christmas in a glass! It’s a luxurious sipper, ideal with cheese after the Christmas feast. “Spiced plums and cocoa-dusted blueberries ... Succulent" (James Suckling, 94pts)

Château La Clarière 2022

Item Code: 3773422

Description

Château La Clarière is Laithwaites' own Côtes de Castillon estate in France's famed Bordeaux region, very close to SaintÉmilion.

This is one of those 'under-the-radar' regions I love to search out, home to the finest quality wines, but not so well-known. As Wine International says, "If it weren't for the [political] line dividing Castillon from Saint-Émilion, its wines would be twice the price. The hills are the same, the soil is the same, the exposure is the same." The estate has won over 150 awards, including the Paris Lauréat Prix d'Excellence – not once, but twice – and Decanter magazine calls it the "leading estate in the Côtes de Castillon". La Clarière is our flagship wine and absolutely no expense is spared. Low yields, careful hand-sorting, months ageing in the finest new French oak, and rigorous tasting ensure only the best parcels become La Clarière. Mostly Merlot, silky, elegant, and supple, with a dash of Cabernet Sauvignon for structure, and slightly portioned Malbec and Cabernet Franc for balance. It's truly magnificent!

Château Dalem 2021

Item Code: 2856021

Description

Fronsac is one of Bordeaux's most underrated regions, producing wines of character and depth, and always good value. From a fine estate, perched high on a hill, this 92-point 2021 is juicy and precise with sleek fruit and fragrant spice.



Fronsac's fine Château Dalem perches high on a hill, surrounded by its 14 hectares of sloping vineyards. It's an historic estate, with records dating back to 1610, that stayed in the same family until 1955. Michel Rullier then took it over and today it's run with great success by his descendant, Brigitte Rullier-Loussert. Its vineyards are nearly all planted to Merlot, with a small amount of Cabernet Franc, and tended with meticulous care.

As you can see from critics' scores (92 points from James Suckling and 94 from Vertedevin), it is an admired claret and one that ages very well too. Matured in French oak (50% new), it has structure and length, but above all an appealing fruity depth. Perfect with roast meat or wild mushroom risotto.
