Special Origin
Chateau Leoville Barton 2005 Saint-Julien
Blackberry, cassis and kirsch lead a deep, structured profile, joined by candied violet, wood smoke and cardamom. The palate is full and concentrated, with grainy tannins and fresh acidity framing the dark fruit. Cedar, graphite and leather bring classic savoury depth. The finish is long and persistent, returning to blackcurrant, spice and polished mineral tension rather than overt sweetness.
Château La Commanderie 2019 Saint-Émilion Grand Cru
Ripe blackberry, cassis and red berries lead the aroma, joined by spice and a gentle smoky note. Fresh acidity gives the palate lift and keeps the dark fruit clearly defined. Black and red fruit unfold in measured layers, with the spice adding depth through the middle. The finish is persistent and balanced, carrying cassis, red berries and a restrained smoky echo.
Château de Ferrand 2019 Saint-Émilion Grand Cru
Fresh, radiant fruit leads the aroma, with plum, black cherry and violet joined by touches of cocoa and hazelnut. The palate is smooth and velvety, while Cabernet Franc brings a firmer line of tannin and welcome freshness. The fruit remains clear and energetic through the middle. The finish is refined and balanced, carrying floral lift, polished texture and lingering dark-fruit intensity.
Château Brown 2020 Pessac-Léognan
Blackcurrant, blackberry and plum lead with cedar and a quiet earthy note. The palate is rich but polished, carrying ripe dark fruit over velvety tannins and a fresh savoury line. Light iron, red tea and restrained toast add detail without masking the fruit. The finish is refined and persistent, leaving cassis, earth, cedar and fine tannins.
Château Cantenac Brown 2015 Margaux
Ripe dark berries and plum open with graphite and a cool stony edge. The palate is plush and supple, bringing concentrated fruit into polished structure and well-integrated oak. Freshness gives the richness energy and keeps the texture poised rather than broad. The finish is intense and persistent, returning to dark fruit, mineral notes and fine, smoothly woven tannins.
Château de Pez 2014 Saint-Estèphe
Red and black fruit open with spice, cedar and a cool graphite note. The palate is medium-full and structured, carrying blackcurrant, plum and ripe strawberry through fine, present tannins. Toasted oak and black pepper add depth, while earthy herbs and tobacco emerge with air. The finish is long and savoury, leaving cassis, pencil lead, leather and a balanced mineral grip.
Château Pierrousselle 2022 Bordeaux Magnum
Redcurrant, cherry and plum lead an open, perfumed aroma, with vanilla and sweet spice adding gentle warmth. The palate is medium-bodied and rounded, balancing ripe raspberry and dark fruit with soft tannins and fresh acidity. Hints of cocoa, smoke and dried herbs add depth without making the wine heavy. The finish is mellow and fruit-led, leaving berries, spice and a light savoury note.
Château Tour Pibran 2019 Pauillac
Plum and sweet berry aromas lead, joined by loamy earth and a clear note of licorice. The palate is medium to full-bodied, ample and velvety, with polished tannins supporting a succulent core of fruit. Sweet berry and plum stay at the centre, while soil and licorice provide contrast. The final impression is generous and fruit-led, with the earthy notes remaining clearly defined.
Pétrus 2004 Pomerol
Refined and structured, with black cherry, plum and cassis supported by earth, truffle, graphite, dark chocolate and gentle spice. Rich and full-bodied, the palate brings ripe black fruit, well-integrated tannins, balanced acidity and a smooth texture into a long, lingering finish. Give it about three hours in a decanter and serve with duck, roast lamb or mushrooms.
Ducru-Beaucaillou 1990 Saint-Julien
Preserved plum and kirsch sit at the centre of a mature, savoury bouquet, layered with incense, cigar box, leather, tobacco and tilled earth. Medium- to full-bodied, the palate is graceful and satiny, carrying dried red berry and exotic spice over a gently chewy structure. The finish is long, fragrant and tea-toned. Decant carefully and serve with roast lamb or aged cheese.
Domaine Armand Rousseau 1994 Chambertin Grand Cru
Mature and remarkably balanced, with red fruit retaining freshness despite the vintage's leaner reputation. The palate avoids undue heaviness or tired fruit, showing a composed structure and firm, lightly green-edged tannins on the finish. It is drinking well now and may continue to hold. Stand upright, open carefully and serve with roast game or earthy mushroom dishes.
Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur 2020 Meursault Les Corbins
Refined and quietly generous, with white flowers, grapefruit and peach skin over a subtle mineral line. The palate is smooth and harmonious, combining measured richness with fine acidity and a focused, very long finish. A gentle stony note keeps the texture composed. Serve cool rather than cold with scallops, roast poultry, butter-poached fish or creamy mushroom dishes.
Chapoutier 2012 Côte-Rôtie La Mordorée
Raspberry and dark berry lead a fragrant aroma, joined by violet, rose petal and peppery spice. The palate is ample and elegant, with ripe fruit carried by fine structure and steady freshness.

The finish is persistent and composed, leaving dark berries, dried herbs and gentle mineral lift.
Guigal 2014 Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde
Cherry and raspberry rise with cedar, cracked pepper and wild herbs. The palate is light on its feet yet structured, carrying red berry fruit through fine, spicy tannins and a smooth, even texture. A savoury herbal note gives the middle quiet complexity without weighing it down. The finish is fragrant and persistent, leaving pepper, red fruit, subtle wood and a gentle earthy echo.
Domaine Jamet 2019 Côte-Rôtie Fructus Voluptas
Red and black berries lead with violet, cracked pepper and a faint savoury note. The palate is supple and immediately expressive, carrying ripe fruit over fine tannins and a stony mineral line. Used oak adds quiet shape without obscuring the freshness. The finish is balanced and persistent, leaving blackberry, spice, smoke and a gentle herbal edge.
Château de Fonbel 2015 Saint-Émilion Grand Cru
Dark berries and sour cherry lead the aroma, joined by herbal spice, tobacco and a floral note.

The persistent finish brings red currant and mineral character back into clear focus.
Domaine Romain & Simon Pillot 2023 Bourgogne Rouge
Beau Joie NV Brut Nature Champagne
Clean and crisp from the first sip, with citrus, green apple and white flowers over a light yeasty note.

Fine bubbles, fresh minerality and a savoury finish make this a versatile match for oysters, sashimi or fried seafood.
Armand de Brignac NV Brut Rosé Champagne
Bright red berries lead with a faint smoky edge. The palate is lively and generous, its deeper texture framed by fine bubbles and a composed, complex structure.
