Bin Numbers 38-47

The fruit is sourced from younger, low yielding vines, keeping bud numbers controlled, and displaying balance and finesse, complex fruit and earthy flavours.

39 Domaine Les Goubert Gigondas.
Inky blackish-purple, unfiltered and unfined. Ripe, dark berry fruit with a hint of pepper. Plenty of tannins and fruit to carry it. Drinkable and delicious.

40 Domaine Rene Rostaing Puech Noble

Made in tiny quantities since 1999, the best example yet of the Rostaing’s ethic: elegant, yet concentrated; expressive, but subtle; hedonistic, but cerebral. 80% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre, 9% Grenache, Grenache Blanc. The Press on Puech Chaud: Andrew Jeffords, The New France - "The Rostaing touch is evident in the perfumed fruits and elegant, silky tannins, a stark contrast to Languedoc's more bruising reds." Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com - "...has northern Rhône fingerprints all over it in terms of sophistication of winemaking

This deep vibrant purple wine has a lovely flowery and spicy nose bursting with fruit flavours, the palate has a note of minerality with a smooth velvety finish.

42 Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon Domaine de Courteillac Bordeaux Superieur
A concentrated wine in both colour and texture, expressing the primary aromas of the Cabernet and the Merlot. Well balanced, fruity.

The Cote de Beaune is the more southerly part of the Cote D'Or, producing well fruited and elegant. Opulent richness with well-integrated New Oak. 

44 Heredad de Baroja Reserva Rioja 
Fine complex aromas, with notes of cheries and redcurrant, tasty with sweet tannins and an elegant aftertaste.

45 Domaine La Soumade Les Violettes Andre Romero. 

A blend of Syrah, Viognier and Roussane, this is a Cote Rotie like wine from vines growing on cooler clay soil. Deep purple, sweet and flowery nose, liquorice aromas and a long velvety finish. A pleasure to drink.

46 Chateau Cote de Baleau Grand Cru St Emilion (Bordeaux)

A Grand Cru merlot dominated claret producing a classically smooth St Emilion. South of the mighty Pomerol region, a softer wine than in the Medoc, spice ripe plumy fruit.

 

 47 Hannibal Walker Bay Bouchard Finlayson Sangiovese (S.Africa) 
Transport your imagination to the Southern point of Africa, to a valley framed by mountains a stones throw from the sea, Peter Finlayson produces a seductive wine with enveloping scents of mixed herbs and wild berries.
