With four Trophies and 80+ Golds, Château La Clarière is clear proof that Castillon wines can surpass those of next-door Grand Cru St-Émilion. From the exceptional 2019 & 2020 vintage, this is rich, velvety claret, packed with fruit.
We proudly represent one of France’s newest appellations, showcasing a French red that exemplifies sophisticated quality and exceptional value.
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.
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.
Château Lavabre La Closerie 2018 has been racking up some excellent scores from the world’s top wine critics…
“… 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…”
“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.”
“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."

Enjoy 4 bottles each of:
L'Epiphanie de Pauillac 2020, Pauillac AOC, France From one of the three Premier Grand Cru Classé estates in Bordeaux’s Pauillac appellation—Lafite Rothschild, Mouton Rothschild, and Latour—this wine isn’t their Grand Vin, but it shares the same grapes, winemaker, and barrels, delivering a luxurious experience backed by a Great Gold medal.
Selección Especial Numerada 66 Priorat 2021, Priorat DOCa, Spain As Jancis Robinson MW writes, Spain’s tiny Priorat region produces “ridiculously low yields of arrestingly concentrated wine.” This one comes from one of most awarded wineries in the region, opposite the iconic (and costly!) L’Ermita. Combines dark, swarthy Garnacha, rare Samsó, lush Syrah and velvety Merlot. A stunner with 91pts from Decanter.
Edizione Limitata Numerata 6 Barolo 2020, Barolo DOCG, Italy This sublime Barolo (‘the King of Wines and Wine of Kings’) comes from a top estate and prime vineyards in Cerviano-Merli. It's a mesmerising wine, long aged in barrel. Decant early to allow the mocha, cherry and violet notes to open.
