Wine
Champault 2021 Menetou-Salon
Bright, lifted nose of grapefruit, lemon zest, and white flowers with a subtle herbal edge and wet stone minerality. The palate is crisp and linear, driven by zesty citrus and green orchard fruit, with that classic Loire chalkiness and saline snap. Clean, refreshing finish with fine tension. Ideal with oysters, goat cheese, or simply as an apéritif.
La Fleur-Petrus 1997
La Fleur-Pétrus Pomerol 1997 exemplifies the charm and sophistication of mature Bordeaux. Its seamless integration of fruit, earth, and tertiary characteristics makes it a delight to savour, offering a glimpse into the complexity and depth of one of Bordeaux's esteemed appellations. While it has reached a stage of maturity, it retains enough vitality to captivate the senses and is a testament to the timeless allure of the region.
Cos D’Estournel 1986
Château Cos d’Estournel is famed for a bold yet exotic St-Estèphe style. It delivers the appellation’s dense, powerful structure alongside a unique elegance and spice-laden aroma profile. Expect layers of dark fruit (blackberry, plum) infused with Indian/Asian spices, vanilla and cedar, reflecting Cos’s oriental flair. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, with subtle tannins and fresh acidity harmonizing the richness.
This “pagoda-adorned” château’s red exudes balance and purity – a harmony of silky tannins, vibrant black fruits, and a powerful terroir imprint that leaves a long, suave finish. It’s an opulent yet refined Saint-Estèphe, often described as seductive and exotic in character.
