Cháteau Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 'Réserve de la Comtesse' 2016

"The stunning, ripe dark berries and plums on the nose are attractively dressed and deliver a wealth of assertively rich and juicy dark-fruit flavors on the palate, in balanced and elegant yet powerful style. The best Réserve de la Comtesse for some time. Second wine of Château Pichon-Lalande." James Suckling

Château Rieussec Grand Cru Classe Sauternes 2011 375ml

Beautiful, already intense, golden colour. The nose presents a delicate woodiness followed by notes of honeysuckle and acacia flowers. The palate rapidly becomes full-bodied and generous, mingling notes of residual sugar and freshness. The fruit is discreet but the balance is perfect. The finish is long and lingering, accompanied by a hint of bitterness, that helps to enliven the flavours.

Sémillon 95%, Sauvignon blanc 3%, Muscadelle 2%

Château Rieussec Grand Cru Classé Sauternes 2015 750ml

"The 2015 Rieussec is gorgeous. Scents of apricot jam, honey, mint and wild flowers lift from the glass. Delicate and gracious, with terrific freshness, the wine is all polish. Reflecting both the style of the year and the desire to make a slightly lighter Sauternes, the 2015 is rendered in a style that emphasizes finesse over power. The blend is 86% Sémillon and 14% Sauvignon Blanc." 97 Points, Antonio Galloni Vinous.com

Château Thieuley 'Generation 3' Bordeaux Blanc 2023

Bordeaux Blanc is a far more stately name than 'Sauvy B', apropos for a far more stately wine. Dry and textural, Château Thieuley captures the pear blossom and acacia notes of Sauvignon, with lemon citrus from the Semillon, and softness palate from time in barrel.

Château Tronquoy-Lalande Saint-Estèphe 2012 375ml

57% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc.

Château Tronquoy-Lalande, situated in the heart of the appellation, is one of the oldest Saint-Estèphe wines. It takes its name from François Tronquoy, the estate's first owner, and the place-name La Lande, meaning the heath, on which the Château’s historic vineyard is planted.

Clos de May Haut-Medoc 2020

A blue-fruited Merlot from the left bank of Bordeaux. A smallish producer focused on prodcuing high quality merlot at reasonable prices. Think blueberry and dark plum, with a dusting of fine tannin.
