CRÉMANT DE LOIRE Brut Domaine des Hauts Perrays
Loire France 12% White
Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc.

2019 ANJOU ROUGE Sur La Butte Château de Plaisance
Loire France 13% Red
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc.
We could hardly contain ourselves when we first tasted this sumptuous, pretty and delicately perfumed red. The perfect balance between ornate high-toned complexity and delightfully pleasing, soft red-fruit flesh is perfe...(read more)

2014 CHÂTEAU PETIT BOCQ Saint Estèphe
Left Bank Bordeaux France 13% Red
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc.
Dark and purple colour tells of the high Cabernet content and hints at the concentrated style. But just when you think this is going to have a touch of Saint Estèphe severity, it is instead all aromatic and almost...(read more)
