Médoc & Haut Médoc

Youthful, perhaps, but this is ready to go and an absolute delight a the price, with deep colour, and an inviting spicy fruit nose. The most remarkable element of the tasting at this stage is the suppleness of the cool w...(read more)

The second vintage of this for us, the 2016 Aimée follows the sleek and easily drinkable style of the 2015 with a wine that is really very similar in style. With the fresh balance and accuracy of the 2016 vintage,...(read more)
