Very attractive nose of white orchard fruit, pears even a hint of quince and a floral note. The same on the palate but with a sweet citrus note giving added juiciness. Subtle red apple fruit, full, perfectly balanced oak. Youthful but approachable right away. Fresh and vibrant, this is delicious, and great value!

Warm ruby colour, bright with hints of mahogany. Fresh red fruits and notes of dried flowers on the nose and a smooth, fresh and full-bodied palate with fine and silky tannins. Long and aromatic. A vibrant easy-drinking Grenache-Syrah blend, named after the real-life lovechild of famed medieval lovers Abélard & Héloïse. Younger in age and spirit than its complex, collectible 'parents', it aims to deliver fresh fruit but also nice spice, concentration and length.

Produced using the Traditional Method, this Classic cuvee boasts aromas of red apple, conference pear and elderflower. You’ll find notes of ripe apricots, baked apple and roasted hazelnuts on the palate leading to a creamy, vibrant finish.

Triple Zero is the cuvee that used to be Jacky's standard Petillant Naturel. The title refers to the fact this sparkling cuvee is not chaptalised, dosed, and contains no residual sugar. Essentially it is as pure as fizzy Chenin gets, taut, finely-tuned, intense floral flavours of citrus, minerals, white peach and apple blossom, overlaying a creamy, supple texture.

First planted in 1860, the ‘Hill of Grace’ vineyard has been in the Henschke family since 1891, with Cyril Henschke producing its first single-vineyard Shiraz in 1958. Planted at 400 metres above sea level, this 4-hectare vineyard is named after the Gnandenberg Lutheran Church opposite (‘Gnadenberg’ translates to ‘Hill of Grace’ in German). The site’s original ‘Ancestors’ vines are now approximately 160 years old and remain at the heart of the ‘Hill of Grace’ vineyard, alongside a small selection of ungrafted ‘Centenarians’ (vines over 100 years old), ‘Survivors’ (vines over 70 years old) and ‘Old Vines’ (over 35 years old). The 2019 vintage was aged for 18 months in oak hogsheads, of which 20% was new and 80% seasoned (90% French and 10% American). 19.5+ points – Matthew Jukes, March 2024,MatthewJukes.com 97 points – Sarah Ahmed, March 2024,Decanter.com 19.5 points – Jancis Robinson MW, March 2024,JancisRobinson.com 97 points – Erin Larkin, April 2024,WineAdvocate.com 99 points – Dave Brookes, April 2024,WineCompanion.com.au 97 points – Huon Hooke, February 2024,The Real Review

Under-the-radar estate that's sandwiched between heavyweight Second Growths Château Montrose and Château Cos d’Estournel, is made by Didier Cuvelier from 'super-second growth' Ch Leoville Poyferré in Saint Julien but is a fraction of the cost. Ripe sweet black fruit aromas, plus dusty oak. V good ripeness on palate, svelte medium+ body. Nice balance, long and fine finish

Blended from various terroirs of the appellation across just over 3 hectares, the 2022 White Saint-Romain Les Cinq Climats is a pure delight of mastery and indulgence. It's an evocative white wine, with notes of ripe fruits complemented by a slightly exotic touch, draped in beautiful freshness and, most notably, a generous mouthfeel. Its rich and opulent character makes it simply irresistible. Alain Gras is the reference point for St-Romain. This extremely steep village was considered part of the Hautes Côtes de Beaune until 1947. The vineyards are set back from the main Côte and mostly at higher elevation and have unquestionably improved in quality by the changes in climate and no longer struggle to reach full physiological maturity. The domaine covers 12 hectares with 8ha being planted with Chardonnay and 4ha to Pinot Noir. There are 42 separate parcels but Alain prefers to blend the grapes into one cuvée.

CWM Ranking First Class: 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot Co-fermented Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. 13.5% ABV, 3.72pH. Deep ruby, attractive perfumed violet, blackcurrant and cedar nose. Classic Haut-Médoc character with plenty of ripe yet taut blackcurrant fruit and big ripe tannin. Long finish and should evolve well over 15 years.

Jancisrobinson.com 17/20 A cuvée made from several different parcels of vineyards located in Arbois and Montigny-lès-Arsures. The vineyards sit mostly on hilltops, over marly soils. Their elevation is the highest of the estate (close to 400 m). One vineyard is on the west-facing slope of the Revermont and is covered with limestone scree. Age of the vines is between 10 and 45 years. The grapes are lightly crushed and then immediately pressed. Fermentation takes place in barrels and foudre. Ageing is half in 500-litre barrels (of which 13% are new oak) and half in foudre. Rich first impression on the nose and just slightly toasty even though I wouldn't in any way describe it as an oaky wine. Stony, too. Very stony and tightly wound citrus and quince. Extremely tense and pure. On the palate, mouth-watering, crisp citrus rounded out just enough by the texture. Slightly sour finish increases the freshness. A little spicy on the aftertaste and even better on the day after opening – so it might be worth decanting while it is young? Excellent persistence. Salty aftertaste makes it very moreish. (JH)

Parker 92/100 Delicate notes of dark cherries, violet and flowers preface the 2022 Gigondas La Tour Sarrasine, a moderately weighted, tense and bright Gigondas with well-integrated tannins and a vertical structure, concluding with an ethereal, delicate finish. This blend of 70% Grenache Noir, 15% Mourvèdre and the rest Syrah, all planted in granite, calcareous soils, was matured in a combination of stainless steel and concrete tanks.
