| Whole bunch pressed and racked to ferment with natural yeasts. Minimal skin contact results in a blush of colour and fine, peppery phenolics. The wine is dry with appealing layers of tree fruits and hazelnut flavours. It has surprising power. |
| | Crafted from carefully selected grapes from our El Algarrobo vineyard in the Las Dichas sector of the Casablanca Valley, one of the coldest areas of the Valley. It is a very fruity, fresh and mineral wine with notes of red fruits, sour cherry and strawberry. It shows all the typicity of Pinot Noir with many aromatic layers and textures on the palate. |
| | Michel Ampeau is a rarity in Burgundy, only releasing wines from his incredible stock of back vintages when fully mature. One of the best Beaune 1er Crus from a great vintage. This is remarkably fresh with a beautiful, perfumed nose of forest fruits, overlaid with hints of bacon and spice. Lovely velvety texture, and such a vibrant core of fruit still present. |
| | The grapes are grouped together with parcels in the Cote de Nuits villages, Pommard, Volnay, Beaune and Marsanney. The wine is aged for 15 months in 500 litre oak casks. The wine is lovely with vibrant notes of red cherry and raspberry, complemented by savoury, meaty notes from the time in bottle. Superbly fresh and elegant with impressive structure and subtle tannins. |
| | Vibrant and racy, a Bourgogne with cut and thrust. Delicious pure, crunchy forest berry and plum fruit, notes of red cherry in the background. Succulent and juicy. From south-facing sites in the Pommard and Savigny communes. Aged for months in 20% new oak barrels. |

Vinified by the Roederer’s team, the wines of Carpe Diem combine the generosity of California’s climate and the elegance of the French ‘savoir faire’.

|
| | A more elegant though markedly restrained nose features cool and pure aromas of dried flowers, high-toned red and blue pinot fruit and lovely spice nuances. The rich, refined and equally pure middle weight flavors are supple yet precise before culminating in a mineral-driven, firm, dusty and long finish where the supporting tannins are notably fine-grained. |
| | Exquisitely pretty Marsannay. Not particularly complex, but that is not the point of this wine, it’s all about pure, unadulterated pleasure. An open, generous array of fruit flavours of damsons and cherries with a floral violet perfume. Soft, generous, and velvety. 30% whole bunch fermentation. |

|
| | There is more whole bunch (70%) in the 2016 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru les Champonnets, the highest used by the domaine in this growing season. Now this has a very mineral-driven bouquet, terse and linear at first, though the fruit soon comes to the surface—blackberries, briary and a hint of cassis. This is very seductive. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, well-judged acidity, weight and persistence. |
| | Lovely mixture of red and black fruits, rich and generous on the palate with silky tannins. |

Le Fou' translates to 'The Madman,' as the notion of producing a Pinot Noir in the warmer Languedoc region was thought to be an impossible endeavour. However, the producers have proved everyone wrong with this delightful, fruit-filled Pinot.
Bright ruby red, with upfront aromas of freshly picked raspberries and an underlying savoury leesiness. Fleshy red fruits continue to the palate and are joined by fine tannins and juicy acidity.
|
| | Sweetly ripe and inviting, the bouquet shows juicy strawberry, cherry, thyme and warm spice aromas. It's equally appealing on the palate offering smooth mouthfeel and bright fruit flavours, finishing silky and friendly. |

WINESPECTATOR / JAMES SUCKLING (92)
The cool essence of red cherry, currant, floral and discreet wood nuances leads to detailed, punchy and precise medium-bodied flavors that possess a silky texture, all wrapped in a sappy and impressively long finale where a hint of cherry pit emerges. Good stuff. |
| | An introduction to the world of Yering Station, this wine stands as an exemplary Victorian expression. Produced with clean and modern winemaking techniques, it is silky, fresh and approachable. True to the regional style, it offers red cherries coupled with delicious brambly spice. The wine finishes long and juicy with a lovely briary spice carrying through alongside the ripe cherry fruit. |
