Paolo Scavino - Barolo - 2020

This Barolo comes from the best plots of seven crus. The diversity of soil, exposure and altitude characterizes each of these small but very important terroir. Unifying these diversities, the Barolo offers harmony and complexity with an overall character of the zone.

 

Marchesi di Gresy - Barbaresco Martinenga - 2019

Bright garnet red with light orange reflections. Intense notes of plum and cherry sinuously blend with balsamic nuances of mint, tea leaves, dried flowers and gold-leaf tobacco.Taste: The fine and elegant tannic structure, in constant balance with the pulp and the mentholated freshness of the finish, give fullness and harmony to the wine.

Ah, Chardonnay- Sure, it’s been divisive, but we believe there’s so much to love about the grape. This premium mix of Dominique Cornin’s excellent Pouilly-Fuissé and Felton Road’s ‘Bannockburn’ Chardonnay are proof. These world class whites will only reassure the Chardonnay fans lucky enough to receive this gift.

 

This set includes 1 bottle of each:

 

Felton Road - Bannockburn Chardonnay - 2022

Notes of brioche, almond, peach and vivid citrus that culminate in white florals. There’s a really busy palate: multidimensional, lots of material, but at the same time driving through is a precise, linear wine with a tight focus. Bright acidity contributes to this, as does the detailed and saline finish.

 

Dominique Cornin - Pouilly Fuissé - 2021

This wine piles on the minerality and is balanced with a luxurious mouthfeel. Notes of lemon citrus, subtle tropical fruit notes, double cream brie, and fennel seeds. This wine is bursting with impatience, to be enjoyed with a perfect dozen escargots. Organic and biodynamic farming. Whole cluster press into stainless steel and fermentation with natural yeasts. Aged on lees for 11 months before bottling.

 We love- and envy- the French lifestyle. Delicious food, fine cheeses, and so much excellent wine. Bernard Defaix’s Côte de Lechet Premier Cru and Château du Glana’s formidable St. Julien are a perfect reminder of the importance of le bon vivre!

 

This set includes 1 bottle of each:

 

Bernard Defaix - Chablis 1er Cru Côte de Lechet - 2022

The remarkable stony and sunny soil of this Premier Cru, located on the slopes of the village Milly and on the right backs of the river Serein, is perfectly captured in this powerful and complex wine. It flourishes with age and expresses mineral aromas reminiscent of gunflint. The Côte de Lechet is indeed one of the Premiers Crus of the Chablisian vineyard with the most exceptional ageing potential. Serve with fish or poultry, with white butter or cream sauces.

 

Château du Glana - Saint Julien - 2018

A good estate to note down. Brothers Ludovic and Julien Meffre are making good wines here outside of the classified rankings that dominate the appellation. It has a touch of hedgerow in it, which in my mind is shorthand for not being over-polished, so you still get a sense of vibrancy but of actually being made by someone, not pulled off a conveyor belt. It's not the most sumptuous 2018 that you're going to find, but it's beautifully enjoyable, full of vigour and displays the ripe fruit of the vintage.

Napa Cabernet- Famous and with good reason. From icons Heitz and Ramey, these ultra-premium Cabernets deliver. Anyone who enjoys the classic Napa Valley style will find it in spades in these bottles.

 

This set includes 1 bottle of each:

 

Heitz Cellar - Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon - 2018

The 2018 vintage was one of exceptional quality for Heitz Cellar. The cooler to moderate temperatures during the growing season allowed us to balance sugar and phenolic maturity in the fruit while maintaining natural acidity to help preserve the fresh characteristics of the vintage. The elegance and balanced structure of the 2018 vintage will make this an incredible wine to drink upon release and will continue to reward with cellar aging.

 

Ramey - Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon - 2018

On the old-school side, with a nice grippy structure and a swath of warm earth holding down the fort, while the core of red and black currant reduction notes unwind slowly. Packs heavy tobacco and cast iron on the finish. Best from 2025 through 2034.

Need something for the sun seeker on your wish list? Schug’s rich but balanced Chardonnay and Marietta’s easy to love ‘Armé' Cabernet Sauvignon should do it. This pair is perfect for daydreaming about getting back to the beach, and in the meantime, a versatile pair to help get through winter.

 

This set includes 1 bottle of each:

 

Schug Carneros Estate - Sonoma Coast Chardonnay - 2022

Golden yellow in colour with greenish hues, Solosole opens with notes of stone fruits such as peach and apricot, followed by sulphurous and flint-like notes. It has a medium body, with generous fruit character. The finish is long, dry and zesty, especially when young. It evolves interestingly in the glass, an indication of its excellent ageing capacity. Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is produced with the minimal use of new oak, to allow the bright varietal character to shine through. It was harvested from select vineyards located in the Sonoma Coast appellation, including the cooler microclimates of western Carneros, southern Sonoma Valley and the Petaluma Gap. It has a spicy apple aroma with hints of nutmeg and cream. Silky textured, it has delicate flavors of fresh fennel, pear and ripe apple. Try it paired with aged cheeses such as Gouda or Manchego, or with delicate seafood dishes, soups and pastas.

 

Marietta Cellars - Armé Cabernet Sauvignon - 2021

An exemplary California Cabernet aromatic experience filled with dried, minty herbs, and lavender. Blackberries, bright cherries and plums, with hints of leather and tobacco, all intertwine for a wonderfully balanced mouthfeel. This wine is sumptuous yet racy, polished yet spirited, delicious and gratifying- an iconic result in the glass. Marietta’s husband, Armé, nurtured my father’s love for this majestic landscape we call home. Like an early morning horse ride through chaparral, this Cabernet kicks up waves of floral, mint, and dusty sage on the nose. Elevated, clear, and refreshing, this wine startles and intrigues. Across the palate a broad flood of grippy tannins is eroded by a core of velvet. Fresh and rounded, big yet steely, with hints of Kalamata olive under the primary note of blueberry, this wine has incredible focus with settled length. Delicious now, this will show added layers and depth over the next 5-15 years.

From the coast to the mountains, this pair of traditional wines is a miniature tour of Tuscany. Poggio al Tesoro’s ‘Solosole’ Vermentino is the perfect aperitif to enjoy with charcuterie and cheese, and Il Poggione’s Rosso di Montalcino is just the thing to pair with that Bistecca alla Fiorentina you’ve been craving.

 

This set includes 1 bottle of each:

 

Poggio al Tesoro - Solosole Vermentino - 2023

Golden yellow in colour with greenish hues, Solosole opens with notes of stone fruits such as peach and apricot, followed by sulphurous and flint-like notes. It has a medium body, with generous fruit character. The finish is long, dry and zesty, especially when young. It evolves interestingly in the glass, an indication of its excellent ageing capacity. 

The great virtue of this Vermentino is that it enhances the aromas and flavours peculiar to Bolgheri. Its clean, crisp flavour and purity are its distinguishing features. The grapes are harvested when their colour changes to an intense yellow. The name Solosole, meaning 'just sunshine', derives from the fact that the wine is essentially a direct result of the work undertaken in the vineyards and the ripening sun.

 

Il Poggione - Rosso di Montalcino - 2022

Intense ruby red colour. Fruity bouquet with red berry notes. Very well structured, yet soft, long-lasting flavour with smooth, velvety tannins. 

Younger, more accessible version of the Brunello, but already with an excellent structure and a great personality, Rosso di Montalcino is a very important wine for Tenuta Il Poggione. Produced entirely from Sangiovese grapes, sourced in the estate's younger vineyards, Rosso di Montalcino is aged in large casks and barriques before a period of bottle aging. The wood aging, although not obligatory for the production of Rosso di Montalcino, tones down the tannins typical of a young Sangiovese and gives this red wine a complexity of aroma and structure that make it a great "Young Brunello".
