A typical Bordeaux Blanc blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle, opening with mellow citrus, delicately honeyed and spicy scents. Smoothly rounded on the palate, presenting citrus and orchard fruit with a touch of stony mineral and a deft trace of oak rounding out the finish.
An easy drinking PB with melon, apple, citrus and notes of white flower. Acidity is medium as well as the length. Try alongside a chilled seafood tower.
Full ruby. Elegant nose, mix of red fruits and luxurious oak. Half- to full-bodied mid-palate, delicious taste, very fruity and harmonious balance thanks to fully integrated oak. Finish is full, round and very elegant. Classy and ready to drink but it will hold well too.
Light ruby. Enticing, expressive nose of red berries and pastry cream, developing cinnamon notes. Noticeable acidity carries the light to medium body mid-palate. The very fine tannins have minimal grip, sustained by mild bitterness that brings a fruit stone’s character to the finish. Already great with a potential of 7 to 8 years.
Sourced principally from established Eguisheim vineyards, this lighter style Alsatian Pinot offers classic varietal brick red colour with bright, spicy red cherry, dried herb and a light splash of milk chocolate. Has charm but could use another year or two in the cellar.
Classic southern Rhone nose with raspberry, blackberry and peppery spice. Big, juicy blackberry and raspberry flavours come with solid tannic structure and appetizing acidity, culminating in a well-integrated harmonious finish. Drinking well now but can benefit from another couple of years in the cellar.
#GoGamayGo. Jean Marc Burgaud is one of the starlight young guns of new Beaujolais, founding his eponymous winery with his wife Christine in 1989. They farm only their own vineyards, the heart of which are clustered in Morgon's famed Cotes du Py (13 ha). His youngest vines are 50+ years old. Youthful plum, wild, thorny/grippy blackberry is braced with acidity and finely grippy tannins. Orange peel is prominent, as is astringent black tea, as is acidity. All this deftly sets off a youthful, medium-bodied and tight palate. 7 barrels made, ready for drinking now, but certainly structured for aging. Real wine.
