2 x Fortant Terroir D'Altitude Pays d'Oc Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 (France)
AWARDED GOLD MEDAL & 95/100 POINTS: Decanter World Wine Awards 2018
"Gorgeously expressive dark menthol, blackberry jam and bay leaf characters, full of vibrant charm and juicy energy, rich tannins and a long, fruitful finish. Fabulous value!" Decanter World Wine Awards 2018
Bordeaux may hold the crown for best Cabernet Sauvignon in France but don’t underestimate the potential of the Languedoc’s top vineyards and ambitious winemakers like the Fortant team. This is a dense, luscious red, packed with cassis and toasty spice.
Alc: 14.5%
2 x Dames de Bonpas Côtes du Rhône Village Plan de Dieu 2017 (France)
AWARDED GOLD MEDAL & 95/100 POINTS: Decanter World Wine Awards 2018
AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Gilbert & Gaillard 2018
For rich, ripe, mouthfilling Rhône Villages that’s well priced, head for the Plan de Dieu vineyards in the south. The area is strewn with the same pebbles that you’ll find in Châteauneuf du Pape and that help achieve super ripeness by absorbing heat in daytime and radiating it at night. Resulting in some of the most attractive, warm fruited (and affordable) wines you’re likely to find anywhere. The Dames de Bonpas certainly make the most of its location with this luscious, Gold medal red and its waves of ripe, velvety fruit and smoky complexity.
Alc: 14%
1 x Château Bourdieu No.1 Bordeaux 2019 (France)
AWARDED GOLD MEDAL & 95/100 POINTS: Decanter World Wine Awards 2020
"Pristine definition of pure and driving damson, cherry and plum, with understated vanilla oak. Deep and long, the palate reveals a cascade of fleshy black fruits over ripe, fine-grained tannins and fruit-bonded acidity. Lovely stuff" Decanter World Wine Awards 2020
Chateau Bourdieu dates back to 1464. Located on Bordeaux’ Right Bank in the Cotes de Blaye region. The estates vineyards have a mixture of clay, limestone and gravel soils. Ideal for Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The estate covers 180 acres and the vines average a mature 35 years of age.
Alc: 14.5%
1 x Domaine Lafage Cuvée Nicolas Cotes Catalanes Grenache Noir 2019 (France)
AWARDED 95/100 POINTS: Jeb Dunnuck, Aug 2020
"All Grenache brought up in demi–muids and aged on lees for 8 months, the medium ruby/purple hued color of the 2019 Cuvée Nicolas is followed by a killer bouquet of kirsch liqueur, savory spices, cured meats, and peppery garrigue. Rich, medium to full-bodied, and gorgeously textured, it has wonderful richness with no sensation of weight or heaviness. It’s another insane value from this team" Jeb Dunnuck
