Red
Remoissenet Père et Fils Clos Vougeot Gc
Deeply coloured Pinot Noir with violet, rose, blackberry, raspberry and a hint of wild mint, moving toward liquorice and truffle with age. Rich, succulent and mellow, the palate balances meaty fullness with elegance, finishing long and composed. A cellar-worthy Burgundy for braised lamb, roast veal, game birds or washed-rind cheese.
Remoissenet Pere et Fils 1967 Chambolle-Musigny
Delicate dried flowers and red fruit lead into a complex mature profile of cranberry, cherry, plum, thyme, mushroom and leather. The palate remains surprisingly full yet balanced, with fresh acidity and fine dusty tannins giving shape without hardness. Rose petal and savoury earth linger through a measured finish. Bottle variation is expected; stand upright before opening and decant gently only if needed.
Remoissenet Pere & Fils 1967 Gevrey-Chambertin
Earthy and silk-textured, with mature fruit carried by elevated acidity and a lively, sappy line. The palate is leaner than a youthful bottle but remains clear, energetic and savoury, with its fine texture giving the wine quiet elegance. Bottle variation is expected at this age; stand upright before opening and decant gently only if needed, then serve with roast poultry or mushrooms.
Remoissenet Père et Fils 2019 Echezeaux Grand Cru
Deeply coloured Pinot Noir with aromas of violet, fresh cherry and rose, moving toward spice and forest floor with time. The palate is broad and densely textured, bringing supple tannins, rounded fruit and a poised, lingering finish. A structured Burgundy with the depth for roast lamb, game or slow-braised beef.
Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1997 Pessac-Léognan
A mature, leafy bouquet brings hickory, clove and freshly picked mint over red berry fruit. The medium-bodied palate is piquant and fully evolved, adding tobacco, peppercorn and cracked black pepper to its savoury core. Fine structure and lingering spice keep the engaging finish poised, with depth but no excess weight.
Remoissenet 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 3L
Earth and dark berries lead the nose, with oak adding a restrained savoury frame. Firmly structured on the palate, the fruit has enough depth to balance the wine's steady grip and grounded character. The finish is composed, persistent and gently wooded. Give it air before serving with roast lamb, braised beef or wild mushrooms.
Remoissenet Pere et Fils 1969 Pommard
Dried cherry and darker fruit meet mushroom, spice, iron and a quiet mineral note on the nose. Soft and smooth on the palate, the wine carries integrated acidity, faint dusty tannins and enough remaining fruit to feel balanced rather than fragile. The finish is savoury and gently spicy. Stand the bottle upright before service and decant carefully, stopping if sediment begins to move.
Château Léoville-Las Cases 1985 Saint-Julien
Mature and beautifully composed, with cassis, wild strawberry and dark fruit joined by cedar, tobacco, dark chocolate, dried berries, crushed stone and rose petal. Powerful yet sophisticated, the palate is vivid and harmonious, with velvety structure and a long, lingering finish. Decant carefully for about one hour and serve with roast beef, lamb or mushrooms.
Angelus 1997
Sweet blackberry, black-cherry liqueur and prune open into truffle, Provençal olive and gently smoky oak. The palate is rich and broad, yet soft and supple, with moderate tannins supporting the dark fruit. Savoury depth carries through a warm, composed finish. Decant carefully and serve with roast lamb, beef or mushrooms.
Chateau Trotanoy 1995 Pomerol
Deeply coloured and still powerful, with raspberry and black cherry layered over earth and a clear licorice note. The palate is medium to full in body, combining dense dark fruit with firm, persistent tannins and a savoury mineral undertone. Its structure remains prominent, but the fruit carries enough concentration to keep the profile balanced. The finish is long, dry and authoritative, returning to cherry, earth and spice.
Château Cos d’Estournel 2015 Saint-Estèphe
Blackberry, plum and cassis open with nutmeg, clove and dried flowers. Full-bodied yet finely controlled, the palate layers ripe dark fruit over ultra-fine tannins, with tobacco, wet earth and subtle Asian spice adding depth. The texture is rich but polished, carrying the wine toward a long, elegant and beautifully integrated finish.
Château Le Gay 2010 Pomerol
Dried mulberry, plum and fig open with cedar, violet and a touch of dark chocolate. The palate is full and concentrated, yet its power is shaped by supple tannins, fresh acidity and clear mineral focus. Black fruit, spice and liquorice carry through a long, polished and impressively balanced finish.
Jadot 2015 Bonnes Mares Gc
Wild berries and creamy cherry unfold with rose hip, currant leaf, black cherry, mulberry and crushed violet. Full-bodied, deep and concentrated, the palate balances exceptional purity and energy with chalky, fine-grained tannins and crisp acidity. Powerful yet refined, it finishes long and persistent and will reward patient cellaring.
Château Cos d’Estournel 1986 Saint-Estèphe
Ripe plum, blackcurrant and blackberry meet liquorice, graphite and a smoky, toasted note. The palate is concentrated yet composed, with savoury depth, firm grainy tannins and mineral freshness holding the mature fruit in shape. Cedar and warm spice build through a long, refined finish that remains powerful without feeling heavy.
OVID 2016 Napa Valley Red Wine
Mulberry, crushed raspberry and black cherry open with liquorice, forest floor, mocha and lifted spice. The palate is dense and powerful yet remarkably poised, combining ripe black fruit with fresh acidity and firm, grainy tannins. Leather, menthol and mineral detail gather through a long, layered finish. Decant before serving with rib steak, braised beef or roast lamb.
Jadot 2016 Clos St Denis Gc
Pure and finely focused, with smoke-tinged blackberry, raspberry and a growing mineral note. The palate is medium-bodied and precise, its dusky red fruit drawn across delicate, filigree tannins. Graphite and quiet savoury detail bring definition to the finish, giving this refined red a graceful balance of depth, freshness and poise.
Château Montrose 2000 Saint-Estèphe
Blueberry, black cherry and cassis lead with crushed rock, tobacco and a restrained floral lift. The palate is rich, powerful and full, with firm tannins framing dense dark fruit. Liquorice, graphite and savoury spice build through the long finish, which remains precise, youthful and impressively composed.
Palacios Remondo 2016 Quiñón de Valmira Rioja
Nearly translucent ruby, with rose, lilac and jasmine unfolding around redcurrant, raspberry and rhubarb. Mint, white pepper and a restrained caramel note add complexity. The palate is filigreed yet concentrated, combining generous texture with striking freshness and intensity. Finely drawn rather than heavy, it carries its floral red fruit through a harmonious, elegant finish.
E. Guigal 2012 Ermitage Ex-Voto Rouge
Crème de cassis and black raspberry lead, layered with crushed rock, liquorice and a subtle savoury note. The palate is powerful and full-bodied, with concentrated dark fruit wrapped in ripe, steadily building tannins. Vanilla and spice add depth without softening the wine's mineral focus or its exceptionally long finish.
