The 2018 Balthus from Château de Reignac has a high-toned, iodine-tinged bouquet of cassis and crushed violet aromas, just a little too showy, perhaps. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins, fleshy and rounded, slightly granular rather than silky in texture. Quite spicy toward the finish. This is a thoroughly enjoyable pure Merlot that just needs to evolve a bit more personality.Inc. TAX€383.98 -

The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape is beautiful, with a great perfume of black cherries, mulberries, savory garrigue, and Provençal spice. Showing the vintage perfectly, it's medium-bodied, has a pure, polished, elegant mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. This cuvée is never the biggest or richest in a vintage, yet it shines for its perfect balance, nuances, complexity, and seamless texture. It's a beautiful Châteauneuf du Pape to enjoy over the coming 15 years.Inc. TAX€837.59 -

The 2021 vintage presented significant challenges for Châteauneuf-du-Pape, particularly for Domaine du Banneret. In response, Audrey Vidal opted to destem the entire harvest, as some grape varieties had unripe stems. Despite these hurdles, the 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape is a true gem. It reveals a bouquet of peony, red berries, flowers, garrigue and spices, with delicate peppery undertones. Medium-bodied, tense and elegant, it offers a refined core of fruit, bright acidity and velvety tannins. The wine finishes long and seamless, with an ethereal quality that carries a Burgundian character. This elegant wine will age gracefully over the next decade or more.Inc. TAX€863.26 -

Medium red-ruby. Captivating aromas of redcurrant, leather, flowers, iron and caramel. Fat and lush, with more definition and mineral lift to the spicy red fruit flavors than the 2007 shows today. In a rather closed phase now, with a restrained sweetness and good firm tannic backbone. Here, too, the tannins arrive late, but this one has a mineral element I don't yet find in the 2007, giving it more finesse than it appeared to possess last spring.Inc. TAX€555.83 -

An awesome Saint Emilion, the 2015 Château Barde-Haut showed even better on this occasion than on release.
