From a small 7ha vineyard on the plain just below the town of Saint-Emilion, owned by the Gagnaire brothers. 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. Bright deep ruby, with appealing aromas of plum, blackberry and vanilla. Charming body, very drinkable young, but well balanced between acidity and tannins, with lots of pretty fruit.

Nicely mature Pomerol made from 95% Merlot. Plummy,vanilla nose with velvety tannins and ripe bright fruit. Great with steak. From south-facing slopes at Château Ferrand, this generous wine has a beautiful deep pomegranate colour and typical scents of violets, ripe plums, cherries and blackcurrants. There is plenty going on besides these fruity and floral notes, with suggestions of cedar, old leather, truffles and coffee beans roasting. In the mouth, there's a delicious, silky smoothness of elegant and perfumed fruit, with, again, supporting flavours of coffee and herbs, with supple tannins in a long, satiny finish.

90-92 Wine Advocate 'The 2013 Saint Chinian Elise is a full-bodied, concentrated blend of 85% Syrah and 15% Grenache, from a parcel selection of schist soils, that’s raised all in barrels. Black raspberries, white pepper, cherry pits and exotic flowers are just some of the nuances here, and this beauty hits the palate with no hard edges, notable purity and a great finish. It too will have a decade or overall longevity. 2016-2023+. '

Drink like a local! Cotes de Blaye offers all the Bordeaux experience at a sensible everyman price. Beautiful dark and limpid colour with raspberry pink highlights. The bouquet reveals intense aromas of ripe red fruits, Morello cherry and black cherry.

This Claret is fresh and balanced. The blend is Merlot-based and the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 12 months, giving a nice aroma of spice and wood smoke. The palate is fleshy with a hint of plum, the tannins fine and firm, leading to a generous finish. Drink now to 2029

Unquestionably the best wine produced in the Medoc in 1967, the Latour has dark ruby color with some browning at the edges, a medium- to full-bodied feel, plenty of black currant fruit, and some light, soft tannins still present. Head and shoulders above the other first-growths, this wine has the classic Latour bouquet of black walnuts, black currants, mineral scents, and cedarwood

Pretty, with a slightly green and herbal character. Clean, well structured palate.
