Pinot Noir 'En Coteaux' by Jeff Carrel 2022

Item Code: 2069422

Description

Winemaker Jeff Carrel had a vision: to make fine, silky Pinot Noir. Not from its spiritual home of Burgundy, but from the Languedoc. He sourced grapes from the high Pyrenean foothills and this strawberry, peony-scented red is the tasty outcome.

Low Stock LC Sauternes (half bottle) 2019

LC Sauternes (half bottle) 2019

Item Code: 4194219

Description

Special parcel of magnificent Sauternes from a First Growth estate. We can't tell you the name, but it really is one of the finest. Honeyed apricot, spice and nutty complexity, with a taut backbone of citrus freshness. Great now, terrific to cellar.

Our winemaker-buyer, Jean-Marc Sauboua, is a very popular fellow. When a top-drawer Bordeaux estate – that is First Growth, possibly Second – has a parcel they want to clear discreetly, it’s J-M they call. The cuvées are originally destined for the Grand Vin. So, they are from the same vines, tended with the same care, but are those that don’t quite make the final cut. This is one from a First Growth Sauternes property that we can’t name, but it's the absolute pinnacle of finesse. What’s more, LC was one of the last vats to be excluded in the final ‘taste-through’, so was very nearly included in the Grand Vin. Mostly Sémillon with a dash of Sauvignon, every grape botrytised and fermented slowly in new oak. Gorgeously rich, honeyed and long.

Low Stock Château Les Moutins 2020

Château Les Moutins 2020

Item Code: 4136320

Description

For a bright, fresh Bordeaux Sauvignon, you won't beat this eight-Golds 2020 from Jean Gueridon. It's old vines with meticulous care, that give it such intensity and freshness, with a light floral touch to the citrusy fruit.



Jean Gueridon is the proud owner and winemaker of Château Les Moutins in the beautiful rolling hills of Bordeaux's Entre-Deux-Mers. Jean bought the estate in 1995 and has been upping the quality every year since. On his extensive vineyards of clay and limestone, he grows mostly Sauvignon Blanc, with a touch of Sémillon, on vines that are mostly 40 years old.

No wonder, then, the concentration in the wine is so good. It certainly bowled over judges in eight competitions, winning Gold every time. With three months ageing on its lees, the wine has lovely texture and roundness, with a creamy note to the bright citrus and grassy fruit and lift of blossom. Chilled down, it's a cracker on its own, or with seafood or goat's cheese soufflé.

Low Stock La Voûte 2022

La Voûte 2022

Item Code: 1409622

Description

Superb, oak-fermented, Gold-medal Chardonnay from Le Chai that tastes more Meursault than Languedoc.



One of Le Chai's most prized whites, La Voûte is the team work of winemaker Mark Hoddy and a meticulous grower in the Limoux, Bruno Bouché. Mark's aim with this wine is to make a rich, yet mineral-fresh Burgundy-style wine at an affordable price.

He knows exactly where to source the best grapes each vintage – Bruno Bouché's Astruc vineyard in Limoux Océanique, where the vines, planted at 300 metres, benefit from both the cooling Atlantic and the warmth of the Med. It results in intense ripe fruit with excellent freshness. After careful pressing the juice is put into new barrels to ferment slowly. A further year’s ageing in oak, with lees stirring, lends a creamy texture to the peachy lemon fruit. Serve cool with creamy sauced chicken.

L'Épiphanie de Pauillac 2020

Item Code: 3882020

Description

We’d love to reveal the name of the illustrious château behind this fine claret, but we’re sworn to secrecy. We can reveal, though, that it’s made at a Premier Grand Cru Classé estate in Pauillac whose Grand Vin sells for sixteen times the price.

L’Épiphanie de Pauillac is the latest of our secret releases from iconic Bordeaux châteaux. It hails from Pauillac’s top tier – a Premier Grand Cru Classé estate. There are only three in the appellation: Lafite Rothschild, Mouton Rothschild and Latour. We guarantee this wine is from one of them. It isn’t their Grand Vin, of course, but it’s made from the same fruit by the same winemaker and housed in the same barrels. Yet it costs less than 1/16th of the Grand Vin’s price.

L’Épiphanie de Pauillac has blackcurrant, cherry and ripe plum infused with subtle spice, cedar and cigar box notes. These classic aromas combine with firm tannins for a complex wine with a long finish. By all means open a bottle now, but cellaring will pay dividends.

Château Lavabre La Closerie 2018

Item Code: 4164218

Description

We are flying the flag for one of France’s newest appellations – showcasing a French red of sophisticated quality and exceptional value. We trust you will be as excited about this wine as we are.



The Appellation

The Pic Saint-Loup was elevated to AOC status in 2016 in recognition of the region’s consistently outstanding wines. Named after the peak which bears the same name, the waters here are pristine, and the south-facing vineyards embrace the cool breezes of the Mediterranean.

The Wine

La Closiere is an 80/20 split of the region’s iconic Syrah and Grenache. Small barrels are used for the Syrah (half of them new), while the Grenache is left to its own devices in larger 2,000L foudres. At 15% alcohol level, this is a hefty beast of a red but retains a beautiful elegance thanks to exquisite craftsmanship.

The Reviews

Château Lavabre La Closerie 2018 has been racking up some excellent scores from the world’s top wine critics…

Jeb Dunnuck awards it a massive 95pts:

“… a blockbuster bouquet of black fruits, camphor, graphite, ground pepper, and cured meats. With a touch more finesse and focus compared to the appellation release, it's full-bodied and has a beautifully balanced, concentrated, elegant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish…”

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate gives it 94pts:

“Blueberries, blackberries and licorice notes mark the nose, supported by hints of crushed stone and spicy oak. It's full-bodied and ripe but still balanced, with a more streamlined feel than the other Lavabre reds, along with silky tannins and a long, licorice-laden finish.”

And an impressive 17.5/20 from Jancis Robinson:

“Opulent! Incredibly concentrated… Lots of sweetness but at the same time it isn't sweet. Fig molasses. Coal dust. Graphite. Caraway. Lots of texture on those tannins… Huge power and broad, glossy, muscled shoulders. Nothing understated about this wine."
