Red Wine

"The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Etelois is completely de-stemmed. It has a floral bouquet that bursts from the glass, revealing rose and iris petals and even a touch of lavender. The medium-bodied palate offers fleshy ripe tannins, fine acidity and a touch of allspice and clove toward the finish. There is still a touch of new oak to be subsumed, but this will be a very fine Aux Etelois." Neal Martin

Lopez de Haro Tempranillo is pure young Tempranillo: strawberries, raspberries, flowers and red licorice notes. A pleasure to drink slightly chilled with charcuterie. Refreshing and a real bargain.

Kate McIntyre is the queen of Mornington, consistently turning out the most critically acclaimed wines from this famous area near Melbourne. "A real treat of a wine, with rhubarb, beetroot, strawberry and spice flavours. A showboater, and while the stemmy character is a strong influence, I think it works brilliantly." 17.5 jancisrobinson.com (2014 Vintage)

This is a wine made from carefully handpicked fruit vinified in Albert Bichot’s gravity-fed winery in their special temperature controlled conical oak vats. The temperature is kept cool at the beginning of the fermentation to control the speed and to extract fresh cherry, strawberry, and currant fruit flavours from the Pinot Noir. Towards the end of fermentation the temperature is raised to aid the extraction of colour and tannin from the grapes and give some body to the wine and so provide it with structural balance on the palate. The wine is aged for 14 to 16 months in oak (30 – 35% new) from the Allier, Vosges, and Troncais forests. This imparts some sweet spice to the wine as well as some herb characteristics and some smoky and toasty notes as well. The palate shows attractive cherry and gingerbread characteristics, underscored by smoky notes from barrel ageing.

This is a purple-red wine with hints of violet. It offers red fruit aromas intermingled with spice, mocha and vanilla. In the mouth, there are smooth and silky tannins which together provide a long, pleasant finish with touches of mature fruits.

Blessed with an extraordinary range of premier crus vineyards, mostly in Nuits-Saint-Georges, this domaine also has a little Morey Saint Denis, not to mention some precious Clos Vougeot (in a particularly nice spot). Eight hectares overall, 7.5 in Nuits Saint Georges, .5 ha in Morey Saint Denis. Over half of the vineyards are Premier Cru. The grapes are 90% destalked, and vinification is long and slow. Cuvaison lasts 18-21 days. After pressing, the must settles for a good month (debourbage), then is transferred with the fine lees only to Allier and Limousin barrels. The quantity of new wood depends on the vintage, but is roughly a third. There is no racking for the next 20 months, resulting in very fine tannins. The wines are bottled filtered, but not fined.

"I love making this wine every year because blending the wines gives me so many options. The majority of the blend is Syrah but still has large amounts of Grenache, Mourvedre and a little white wine in to lift the nose. Savory and fruity is hard to accomplish but this wine delivers both. Next time you are having a family outing open this out by the BBQ or fire and watch it evolve over time. Unmistakable California fruit but nuances enough to make you think about the little things this wine offers." Joey Tensley

Delicious Pinot Noir from Moingeon, with good grip and structure , still with beautiful ripe fruit, good colour and length.

This wine is deep red in colour with violet highlights. It offers intense aromas of red fruits and plums, overlaid with pleasant notes of wood. It tastes fruity on the palate, with rounded tannins, which, together with a delicious acidity, go to make up a long, delightful finish with plenty of mature fruits.

Jérôme and Elisabeth Billard are the 4th generation of his family to have managed Domaine Billard Pere & Fils. Their winery is located in La Rochepot, a village just west of Saint-Aubin. Jérôme has built up the estate's vineyard holdings to an impressive 18.5 hectares, with the largest area in Hautes Cotes de Beaune, as well as Beaune, St Romain, St Aubin, Auxey Duresses and Pommard. Jérôme’s philosophy is "expressing the typicity of the terroir.". Yields are low and grapes are concentrated because of organic farming techniques, extensive pruning and cover crops between vines. His trusty Percheron steed, Raphael, ploughs the vineyards at the estate and for Domaine de la Romanee Conti. Grapes are hand harvested and sorted on a vibrating table to ensure only the best are selected. Winemaking is low intervention. Pinot Noir is foot trodden to gently extract tannins, only natural yeasts are used and wines are left on lees in oak barrels before bottling at the estate. As a consequence of these meticulous efforts, Billard offers high quality wines with layers of complexity and concentration at surprisingly low prices. Their Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune Rouge comes from a plot of 4 hectares with alluvial clay soil. After pressing the grapes by foot, the wine is aged for 12 months in oak barrels. Delicious! Complex but easy to drink (light bodied, not too bold, low tannins). Juicy plum flavours are bright but not too sweet, smoky tobacco adds warmth and balance.

Aromatic, cassis, raspberry, flowerbeds, wild strawberries, and delicate sweet spices of oak. Fresh acidity, persistent fruit, fragrant and spicy. Quite easy and delicious young.

This fine wine is made with the same care as our Bordeaux Grand Crus (Lafite). Grapes are closely monitored when reaching maturity in order to find the optimal balance between phenolic ripenes and acidity. After careful sorting and desteming, grapes are placed in stainless steel tanks for fermentation. Regular pump-over ensure a gentle extraction of the tannins. After malolactic fermentation, 50% of the wine is transfered into French oak barrels for a period of 12 months. TASTING NOTES Intense ruby-red colour with glints of garnet. Initially the nose presents scents of fresh strawberry, red cherry, gooseberry and blue flowers. Then subtle notes of bay, tobacco, caramel and graphite emerge. On the palate, the wine is generous with soft yet lively tannins, leading into a long, lingering finish.

Jukes: One of the juiciest, most enthralling wines of the moment, an explosion of pipe smoke, rhubarb, mulberry pie scents creamy… succulent palate… could charm even the most hard-to-please wine lovers.

What a bargain. Just enough evolution to boast resolved tannins without the fruit being dried out. Lovely cranberry-fresh style, lots of Nebbiolo character with that typical dried-flower note.

Jerome Billard is 5th generation winemaker at the family domaine in Le Rochepot, a village in the Hautes Cotes above Beaune. The vineyards cover 17 hectares and spans four AOCs, (Aligoté, Hautes Côtes de Beaune Blanc and Rouge and Crémant) five AOC-villages and three Premier Cru sites, (Saint Aubin Blanc and Rouge and Beaune). Domaine Billard follow biodynamic techniques during winegrowing; using the lunar calendar and restricting machinery on the vineyards Their lovely Percheron horse Raphael ploughs in between rows in none other than Domaine de la Romanee Conti. The house style is for expressive yet gently extracted wines and the Beaune 1er Cru is a real charmer, drinkable quite young.

Fruit! Glorious fruit! Oh my, what a delicious wine made up of Alicante Bouschet 70% and Grenache Noir 30%. The very friendliest Alicante we have ever tasted. Dreamy, sweet blueberry and fresh blackberry fruit that is pleasingly aromatic, juicy, seamless that sits just right on the palate. Perfect for when you want the pleasures of gorgeous fruit with nice depth and presence but with a delightful lightness of touch because of the moderate alcohol (only 12% abv) and pleasingly light, soft tannin. Utterly great on its own or with lighter meat dishes. Wonderful and unique. "Rhonejolais", if you will.

One of the top handful of Amarone. Dry, drinkable style, all spice and leather, very impressive
