Dumangin Fils are a small family-run Champagne House based in the village of Chigny-les-Roses south of Reims. Dumangin have a long history overflowing with fantastic winemakers, some with names borrowed from Greek legend. The first family member to turn his hands to winemaking was Firmin Dumangin, born in 1650. Hippolyte Dumangin, born 1851, was the first to market champagne under the Dumangin brand. Achille Dumangin named a variety after himself around 1909. Jacky Dumangin achieved fame for a Premier Cru Champagne which won an impressive number awards during his 30 years at the helm. The current head of House Dumangin is Gilles. He is the 5th generation of the family to produce champagne.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Dumangin family’s tireless efforts to produce the best possible Champagne from their own grapes was recognised by the prestigious French wine guide, the Guide Hachette des Vins, in 2008. The bible of the French wine industry awarded the Dumangin Grand Réserve a Coup de Cœur. The Coup de Coeur (judges' favourite) is the Guide Hachette’s highest possible recommendation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChampagne is the most iconic sparkling wine in the world, produced in the region of Champagne in France. Synonymous with celebration, champagne is typically produced from a few specific varieties of grapes: pinot noir, chardonnay, and pinot meunier. With effervescent flavors of citrus, almond, and apple, champagne comes in varying levels of sweetness and has a moderate amount of alcohol. The most treasured Champagnes age for a minimum of 3 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Champagne region is located 140 kilometres from Paris, France. While the vines in this region have been producing wine since the Roman era, it is only in the past couple of hundred years that winemakers began producing Champagne using méthode champenoise - the complex method that produces the style of Champagne the world knows and loves today. Another important component of the production of champagne is the chalk and limestone soils which dominate the Champagne region. Vines grown in these conditions result in wines that are high in acidity - a key component to making good sparkling wine. Champagne's northerly location - about as north as grapes can ripen - also allow for higher acidity and lower alcohol levels which are also very important for producing quality sparkling wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J.

Synonymous with celebration, champagne is typically produced from a few specific varieties of grapes: pinot noir, chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier. With effervescent flavours of citrus, almond, and apple, champagne comes in varying levels of sweetness and has a moderate amount of alcohol. The most treasured Champagnes age for a minimum of 3 years.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Champagne region is located 140 kilometres from Paris, France. While the vines in this region have been producing wine since the Roman era, it is only in the past couple of hundred years that winemakers began producing Champagne using méthode champenoise - the complex method that produces the style of Champagne the world knows and loves today. Another important component of the production of champagne is the chalk and limestone soils that dominate the Champagne region. Vines grown in these conditions result in wines that are high in acidity - a key component to making good sparkling wine. Champagne's northerly location - about as north as grapes can ripen - also allows for higher acidity and lower alcohol levels which are also very important for producing quality sparkling wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Billecart Salmon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40141718913175,"sku":"BILLECS-BRNAT-7506-CNMT","price":98.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/products\/billecart-salmon-brut-nature-champagne-champagne-france-pop-up-wine-1-32431251783912.png?v=1743667268"},{"product_id":"kilikanoon-the-lackey-shiraz-2019-south-australia-australia","title":"Kilikanoon \"The Lackey\" Shiraz 2019 ~ South Australia, Australia","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'Australian Winery of the Year' 2018 - International Wine \u0026amp; Spirits Competition Award\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2013 Winery of the Year ~ James Halliday ~ Australian Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e2014 Winemaker of the Year ~ Clare Valley Hall of Fame \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLe Sommelier Fou\u003c\/strong\u003e \".....Long, dense and cheeky......Aromas of flowers, black pepper and blackberry.

Trained as a doctor but swapping his studies for wine making after four years.

Initially owned by the wine merchant Bernard Chénier, Château Marjosse was acquired by the Deleuze family, who, in 1990, gave some plots to Pierre Lurton to rent. In 1992, Pierre Lurton, who grew up in Château Reynier, neighbour to this magnificent Chartreuse, moved to a second home in Château Marjosse and, over successive years became the owner of the entire vineyard, as well as the Chartreuse in 2013.\\n\\nDecanter \\\u0026quot;Since Lurton bought Château Marjosse in 1994, the estate has improved beyond recognition.

Pierre Lurton comes from two of the great Bordeaux families. His father Dominique was the youngest son of the paterfamilias François Lurton; his uncle André Lurton who founded the eponymous wine company; his many cousins run châteaux from Pauillac to Pomerol. His mother is from the famous Lafite family.\\n\\nThe influential Club Enologique asserts that Pierre is the most accomplished wine personality of his famous family. Trained as a doctor but swapping his studies for wine making after four years. At 23 he took over Clos Fourtet in St Emilion, one of the fine Lurton properties, and in 1991 he was appointed head of Château Cheval Blanc (it was bought by Bernard Arnault of LVMH in 1998); in 1999 he took on Château d’Yquem, which had just been added to the Arnault portfolio.\\n\\nClub Enologique describes Pierre Lurton as having the world’s most corporate wine job. \\\u0026quot;However he divides his time between two of the world’s most exalted wine properties, but comes down to earth in Entre-deux-Mers, the leafy, unpretentious appellation to the east of Bordeaux at Château Marjosse.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe Château Marjosse estate is located in Entre-deux-Mers, on the right bank of Bordeaux. Initially owned by the wine merchant Bernard Chénier, Château Marjosse was acquired by the Deleuze family, who, in 1990, gave some plots to Pierre Lurton to rent. In 1992, Pierre Lurton, who grew up in Château Reynier, neighbour to this magnificent Chartreuse, moved to a second home in Château Marjosse and, over successive years became the owner of the entire vineyard, as well as the Chartreuse in 2013.\\n\\nDecanter \\\u0026quot;Since Lurton bought Château Marjosse in 1994, the estate has improved beyond recognition. Pierre's father, Dominique Lurton, also made over a further 30ha so that, under the Château Marjosse label, Lurton now exploits 42ha of vineyard, six hectares of white and 36ha of Bordeaux red – a total of 300,000 bottles a year. Pierre insists his wine is Bordeaux and not Bordeaux Supérieur because ‘my wine is only supérieur in the bottle’. His objectives are ambitious. As the quality of the terroir with clay-limestone soil is similar to some of the better areas in Saint-Emilion, he hopes to prove that wines from this area can rival those from more prestigious regions.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nSommeliers International \\\u0026quot;At Château Marjosse the land possesses yet another specific feature, known locally as “la Boulbène”, a silty-clayey texture that has developed on ancient alluvions. The fertility of these soils no longer needs to be proved, because, by chance, they are also found in Saint-Emilion, a terroir that is extremely familiar to the man who manages “Cheval Blanc” …. Pierre Lurton. Assisted in this transformation by Consultant-Oenologist Pascal Poussevin, whose recommendations range from vine growing to wine-making, Pierre Lurton’s estate has now reached its cruising speed … Beyond the fabulous adventures he experiences in his role as manager of Châteaux d’Yquem, Cheval Blanc, as well as estates in South Africa, Latin America and in Australia … it is undoubtedly with “the salt of this land here in the Entre-deux-Mers” that his years of quest for perfection will be revealed. It is clear that this region needs winegrowers of such calibre, those who possess a sixth sense and, using techniques that almost resemble intentional alchemy, transform the grapes they touch into wines that exude the unique character of a specific area.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe Entre-deux-Mers region, nicknamed by wine experts as “Little Tuscany”, is unique and jealously protected by its inhabitants. \\\u0026quot;There are fifteen appellations that constitute the Entre-deux-Mers. The most well-known of them all, reputed for its dry, lively white wines, is certainly the one which bears the name of this region! The Entre-deux-Mers cultivates a certain speciality in producing white wines, due to its basic geological assets, possessing gravelly-limestone soils, upon which Sémillon, Sauvignon, Muscadelle and even Ugni Blanc grape varieties are planted. But the variety of soils and sub-soils associated with such a complex landscape provides a diversity of terroirs … These are favourable for producing red wines, that are regrettably not sufficiently well-known, but highly prized for the complexity of their aromas, their deep, vivid colour, as well as the concentration and elegance of their tannins.\\\u0026quot; Sommeliers International.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 percent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nMerlot is a red wine grape variety with strong historic ties to Bordeaux and the southwest of France. It is the second most-planted red wine grape variety in the world, after Cabernet Sauvignon. Merlot is extremely popular in northern Italy, the United States. Chile has built its reputation mainly on its Merlot-based cuvées. Merlot's flavour profile  includes plum and black cherry. Often described as producing smooth, rounded and \\\u0026quot;easy drinking\\\u0026quot; wines.

It stretches 150km (93 miles) from the eastern edge of Manjimup (in the west) to the Pallinup River in the east, where the more cereal-focused expanses of 'Central Western Australia' begin. The region's northern edge lies almost perfectly on the 34th parallel while the coastline marks the southern boundary - a distance of around 100km (62 miles), north-to-south. \\n\\nCabernet Sauvignon is one of the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir.

Prominent figures in the winemaking world, the bothers studied winemaking in Burgundy and brought Pinot Noir cuttings back to Italy to propegate at their family's wine estate.

It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is renowned for its outstanding wines, picturesque landscapes, and rich culinary traditions. Here's some information about the Langhe winemaking region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Langhe region experiences a continental climate with some Mediterranean influences from the nearby Ligurian Sea. The area benefits from a combination of factors such as sunlight exposure, altitude, and soil composition, which create an ideal environment for growing high-quality grapes. The region's terroir is primarily composed of limestone, clay, and sandstone soils, which contribute to the unique flavors and characteristics of Langhe wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Langhe is famous for its production of red wines, with Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto being the prominent grape varieties. Nebbiolo is the noble grape of the region and is responsible for producing some of Italy's most iconic wines, such as Barolo and Barbaresco. Barbera and Dolcetto are also widely planted and play significant roles in producing well-regarded wines, including Barbera d'Alba and Dolcetto d'Alba. Barolo and Barbaresco are the crown jewels of the Langhe region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth wines are made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes and are renowned for their complexity, age-worthiness, and distinctive flavors. Barolo, often referred to as the \"King of Wines,\" typically displays robust tannins and flavors of cherry, tar, and roses. Barbaresco, considered its slightly more delicate counterpart, is known for its elegance and finesse.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePinot Nero, known as Pinot Noir in many parts of the world, is a red wine grape variety that is highly esteemed for its elegant, delicate, and complex characteristics. It is considered one of the most challenging grapes to grow and cultivate, but when nurtured in the right conditions, it can produce some of the finest and most sought-after wines in the world. The grape is believed to have originated in the Burgundy region of France, where it has been grown for centuries and remains a cornerstone of Burgundian winemaking.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePinot Noir is the dominant red wine grape of Burgundy, now produced in wine regions all over the world, including western Germany, northern Italy, Chile, South Africa, Australia and, perhaps most notably, California, Oregon and New Zealand. The essence of Pinot Noir wine is its aroma of strawberry and cherry (fresh red cherries in lighter wines and stewed black cherries in weightier examples), underpinned in the most complex examples by hints of forest floor. Well-built Pinot Noirs, particularly from warmer harvests, also exhibit notes of leather and violets, sometimes approaching the flavor spectrum of Syrah.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poderi Colla","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44502170075368,"sku":"PCOLLA-ROMPN20-7506","price":66.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/PoderiCollaLangheCampoRomanoPinotNero.jpg?v=1764691337"},{"product_id":"billecart-salmon-brut-nature-champagne-champagne-france-6-pack-value-1","title":"Billecart Salmon Brut Nature Champagne ~ Champagne, France - 6 Pack Value","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cspan data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;A super value pack of 6 Billecart Nature Champagne.

Synonymous with celebration, champagne is typically produced from a few specific varieties of grapes: pinot noir, chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier. With effervescent flavours of citrus, almond, and apple, champagne comes in varying levels of sweetness and has a moderate amount of alcohol. The most treasured Champagnes age for a minimum of 3 years.\\n\\nThe Champagne region is located 140 kilometres from Paris, France. While the vines in this region have been producing wine since the Roman era, it is only in the past couple of hundred years that winemakers began producing Champagne using méthode champenoise - the complex method that produces the style of Champagne the world knows and loves today. Another important component of the production of champagne is the chalk and limestone soils that dominate the Champagne region. Vines grown in these conditions result in wines that are high in acidity - a key component to making good sparkling wine. Champagne's northerly location - about as north as grapes can ripen - also allows for higher acidity and lower alcohol levels which are also very important for producing quality sparkling wine.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":13187,\"3\":[null,4,\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"],\"4\":[null,2,16711680],\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":10}' data-sheets-textstyleruns='[null,0,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":182}' data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA super value pack of 6 Billecart Nature Champagne.

Patrick's reputation for producing exceptional wine earned him many international accolades for the major labels he worked as Chief Winemaker, including; Tollana, Penfolds, and Hollick Wines. Patrick's distinguished reputation continued with the establishment of his own Patrick of Coonawarra Estate label. The wines are built on the solid foundation of extensive estate vineyards: 36 hectares in Coonawarra and 42 hectares in Wrattonbully. The Wrattonbully plantings contain shiraz, sauvignon blanc, and some of the riesling. All of the cabernet is grown in Coonawarra. The Estate is now managed by his eonologist son, Luke who continues the tradition of producing wines of varietal and regional excellence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCoonawarra is the most important wine region within South Australia, credited with producing some of the best red wines in the entire country, and often described as Australia's most famous terroir. .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShiraz, also known as Syrah is a popular red wine. Though the spiritual homeland of this red grape is France, Syrah has been planted throughout the world to great success. It expresses itself differently depending on the climate, soil and regional style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSyrah is typically bold and full-bodied, with aromatic notes of smoke, black fruit and pepper spice. Stylistically, it can be round and fruity, or dense and tannic. And in warmer New World regions like Australia, Syrah is most often be called Shiraz.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWinemakers who work in cooler-climate growing regions, both in the Old World and New World, tend to call their wines Syrah. The most famous examples come from the northern Rhône Valley of France, notably Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie. In the New World, in regions like Sonoma Coast, California; Yarra Valley, Australia; and parts of Chile, the wines are called Syrah because they emulate the leaner, acid-driven, savory styles of the Old World French classics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShiraz tends to come from warmer growing climates, namely the South Australian regions of Barossa, McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills. Stylistically, these wines are lush, fruit-forward examples that embody the warmer, sunnier climate. Shiraz is so important to Australian viticulture that it is the most planted grape variety in the majority of Australian vineyards and has become virtually synonymous with the country's wine regions, and in particular the Barossa Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patrick of Coonawarra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45145649348840,"sku":"PUW-PATESJSH17-V6P","price":378.3,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/Patrick_of_Coonawarra_Joanna_Shiraz_2017_Coonawarra_South_Australia_-_6_Pack_Value_1.jpg?v=1777769989"},{"product_id":"bottega-gold-prosecco-brut-nv-mini-200ml-veneto-italy","title":"Bottega \"Gold\" Prosecco Brut NV Mini 200ml - Veneto, Italy","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":15299,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16750848},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":8}' data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"93\/100 - 5 Stars - The Book Vinitaly\\n91\/100 - Falstaff\\nBronze - Tom Cannavan\\n\\nDouble Gold Medal - Sakura Award 2023 \\nGold - Sommelier Choice Awards 2023 \\nSilver - Decanter World Wine Awards 2023\\nSilver - Prosecco Masters The Drinks Business 2023 \\nBronze - International Wine \u0026amp; Spirit Challenge 2023\\nSilver - The Drinks Business The Prosecco Masters 2022\\nBest Wines Product - The Travel Retail Awards 2022\\nGrand Gold for packaging - Spiritz Selection Awards 2022 \\nGold - Spiritz Selection Awards 2022\\nSilver - Mundus Vini 2022\\nSilver - Light and Fruity Category, Glass of Bubbly 2021\\nGold - The Fifty Best Sparkling Wine 2021\\nGold - The Drinks Business The Prosecco Masters 2021\\n3 Rosoni - Guida Ais 2020\\nGold - CSWWC Champagne \u0026amp; Sparkling Wine 2020 - \\nSilver - Decanter World Wine Awards 2020\\nGold - The Fifty Best Sparkling Wine 2020\\nGold - The Drinks Business Global Sparkling Masters 2020\\nSilver - Sakura Japan Women’s Wine Awards 2020\\n\\nFalstaff \\\"Brilliant pale straw yellow with persistent mousse.

Morellino di Scansano takes center-stage but has been complemented over the years by white and rosé wines bearing the recently created Maremma DOC denomination, along with Typical Geographical Indication (IGT) wines in a more modern style that nevertheless respects the Tuscan tradition.\\n\\nVermentino (“vur-men-teeno”) is a light-bodied white wine that grows mostly in Italy on the island of Sardinia. What’s exciting about Vermentino is it can be deliciously complex in taste in similar style to Sauvignon Blanc; One style is richer and creamier and the other is lighter, more floral and zestier. Because Vermentino is so unknown, you can find high quality wines for a great value. Wines with similar body and taste profile include Albariño, Grüner Veltliner, Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, Soave and Verdejo.\\nDespite the typical light-bodied character of Vermentino, it’s actually quite complex to taste. A glass of classic Sardinia Vermentino will offer up lively aromas of pear, white peach, lime and pink grapefruit with subtle notes of crushed rocks and citrus zest.

After Piedmont and the Veneto, Tuscany produces the third-highest volume of DOC\/DOCG wines. More than 80% of the regions' production is in red wine, with the Sangiovese grape being Tuscany's' most prominent grape. Trebbiano is the leading white variety of the region.\\n\\nThe history of viticulture in Tuscany dates back to the Etruscans in the 8th century BC. From the fall of the Roman Empire and throughout the Middle Ages, monasteries were the main purveyors of wines in the region. As the aristocratic and merchant classes emerged, they inherited the share-cropping system of agriculture known as mezzadria. Many Tuscan landowners would turn their half of the grape harvest into wine that would be sold to merchants in Florence. Following the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Tuscany returned to the rule of the Habsburgs. Chianti, Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Super Tuscan are Tuscany’s best known wines.\\n\\nSangiovese (or Nielluccio in Corsica), a dark-berried vine, is the most widely planted grape variety in Italy. Virtually synonymous with the red wines of Tuscany, and all the romanticism that goes with the territory, Sangiovese is the core constituent in some of the great names in Italian wine. Italy's love affair with Sangiovese – and indeed the world's – is generations old, though recent grapevine research suggests the variety is not as ancient as once thought.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":15299,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16370588},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":8}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 5 Stars Wine - The Book - Vinitaly \u003c\/strong\u003e(2021 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Falstaff \u003c\/strong\u003e(2021 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Raffele Vecchione, Wine Critics \u003c\/strong\u003e(2021 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Wine Enthusiast \u003c\/strong\u003e(2021 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e16\/20 Jancis Robinson \u003c\/strong\u003e(2021 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - Wine Spectator \u003c\/strong\u003e(2021 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - CellarTracker \u003c\/strong\u003e(2021 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Raffele Vecchione, Wine Critics \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Wine Enthusiast \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Falstaff \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e16\/20 Jancis Robinson \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - Wine Spectator \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - CellarTracker \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBtonze - The Wine Independent \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommended- Stephen Blandford, The Real Review \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - Decanter World Wine Awards \u003c\/strong\u003e(2021 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver - Mundus Vini \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - Decanter World Wine Awards \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic - currently undergoing certification\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFalstaff\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Medium ruby red with slightly lightening rim.

Located in the east-central part of France, Burgundy has 5 primary wine growing areas; Chablis – “shab-lee” Côte de Nuits – the night slope, Côte de Beaune – the slope of Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise – the Chalon slope, Mâconnais – the region of Mâcon.\\n\\nChardonnay is one of the world’s most popular grapes, Chardonnay is made in a wide range of styles from lean, to rich, creamy white wines aged in oak. Bolder, richer, full-bodied and buttery Chardonnays are made using oak and are produced in California, Burgundy, and Australia. Unoaked chardonnays such as Chablis and those produced in Chile, New Zealand, and other parts of France are leaner and often crisp and mineraly, with delicate flavors.

Most Prosecco is made in an extra extra dry, or off dry, style offering fruity aromas of confected pears and peaches. A small percentage are made in a dry Brut style offering bracing green apple and citrus fruit. Since the 2009 vintage the Prosecco zone in the Veneto region was elevated from DOC to DOCG status, joining the ranks with the likes of Barolo, Chianti and Brunello Di Montalcino. At the same time the grape was renamed from Prosecco to Glera. Now anything made outside of the region must be labeled Sparkling Glera, offering extra protection for the zone's 5,000 or so small producers.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":1061763,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":15110456},\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":8,\"23\":1}' data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0}{\"1\":196,\"2\":{\"2\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":1136076},\"9\":1}}{\"1\":211}' data-sheets-hyperlinkruns='{\"1\":196,\"2\":\"http:\/\/winescritic.com\/\"}{\"1\":211}'\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Falstaff\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e15\/20 Jancis Robinson\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - Wine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - Jeannie Cho Lee\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - CellarTracker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - Wine \u0026amp; Spirits Magazine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - Raffaele Vecchione\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"http:\/\/winescritic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWinesCritic.com\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFalstaff\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Sparkling green-yellow with strong perlage.

A small percentage are made in a dry Brut style offering bracing green apple and citrus fruit. Since the 2009 vintage the Prosecco zone in the Veneto region was elevated from DOC to DOCG status, joining the ranks with the likes of Barolo, Chianti and Brunello Di Montalcino. At the same time the grape was renamed from Prosecco to Glera.

It is known for its highly aromatic riesling, tangy citrus-tinged chardonnay, exceptional Rhône-style shiraz and suberb cabernet sauvignon. The five estate vineyards are overseen by Chief Viticulturist Jordan Ellis whose philosophy is sustainability and remaining true to the terroir of the region.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Real Review \"Plantegent is a pioneer of the Great Southern region of Western Australia with vineyards first planted in 1986 and the first commercial winery established in the region.

It is the largest wine growing region in Australia and is the second largest producer of grapes in Western Australia. It is a landscape of forested cliffs and resplendent mountain ranges, grazing pastures and towns steeped in history. The regional climate ranges from the coastal, maritime subregions of Albany and Denmark to the inland, continental subregions of Mount Barker, Porongurup and Frankland River. The predominant soils are similar to those of the Margaret River region - either lateritic gravelly sandy loams (marri country) or sandy loams deriving directly from granite and gneissic bedrocks. Near perfect conditions for grape growing has lured some of the most creative and talented winemakers to call this land their home and become part of its ancient story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe region is known for commitment to be sustainable, and organic, and is attracting some of Australia’s best winemakers. In 2023 the region dominated the Halliday Wine Companion Awards with its Top Rated 2023 Rieslings winning 10 of the top 40 awards. Other varietals from the region also received exceptional ratings of 97, 96 \u0026amp; 95 points.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePinot Noir is the dominant red wine grape of Burgundy, now produced in wine regions all over the world, including western Germany, northern Italy, Chile, South Africa, Australia and, perhaps most notably, California, Oregon and New Zealand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe essence of Pinot Noir wine is its aroma of strawberry and cherry (fresh red cherries in lighter wines and stewed black cherries in weightier examples), underpinned in the most complex examples by hints of forest floor.

It is the largest wine growing region in Australia and is the second largest producer of grapes in Western Australia. It is a landscape of forested cliffs and resplendent mountain ranges, grazing pastures and towns steeped in history. The regional climate ranges from the coastal, maritime subregions of Albany and Denmark to the inland, continental subregions of Mount Barker, Porongurup and Frankland River. The predominant soils are similar to those of the Margaret River region - either lateritic gravelly sandy loams (marri country) or sandy loams deriving directly from granite and gneissic bedrocks. Near perfect conditions for grape growing has lured some of the most creative and talented winemakers to call this land their home and become part of its ancient story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe region is known for commitment to be sustainable, and organic, and is attracting some of Australia’s best winemakers.

Red fruited, a lilt of rosy florals, a dusting of spices – freshly ground cinnamon, sumac, clove, white pepper – warm terracotta, dried cranberry, the palate supple, with a fine scaffolding of grape tannins. It’s a very fine debut.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAaron Brasher, The Real Review \"Pretty and lifted aromas of violets, dried herbs, cherry liqueur, bramble and raspberry. Juicy, layered and mouth-filling. There's plenty of plush red and blue fruits along with spice, under-brush and florals. The tannins are shapely and the acidity is crunchy and both bring ample shape to the wine. Smart gear.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAustralian Financial Review – Max Allen \"Winemaker Ansel Ashby launched his first label, Gatch, in 2016 to produce wines that\u003cbr\u003ewere “fun, delicious, and not pretentious” – everyday drinking white and red that didn’t focus on variety or provenance. His latest venture, Pare, set up with business partner Andrew Williams, takes the opposite tack: serious, single-varietal wines from single, named vineyards. There are two grenaches in the line-up, both from blocks of old, dry-grown vines in the prized Blewitt Springs area of McLaren Vale. ....my pick is the Jericho. Vines planted in 1955, wild ferment with 50 per cent whole bunches, then 10 months’ maturation in old puncheons all result in a pure, floral, polished expression of grenache with a sprinkling of spice and fine, porcelain tannins. Quite seductive.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePare wines was born from a friendship and desire to craft the finest wines from the Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale. Our wines are all single vineyard expressions of Chardonnay and Grenache. Each wine is hand crafted, using pared back winemaking to express the vineyards in their truest form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Jericho Family vineyard was planted to Grenache in 1955. The soil is classic Maslin Sand from the elevated Blewitt Springs subregion of McLaren Vale. This is one of the coolest sites in Blewitt Springs. The resulting wine shows floral notes, blue fruit, and spice. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47045703041256,"sku":"PARE-JFGR23-7506","price":79.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/PareJerichoFamilyVineyardGrenache2023-McLarenVale_Australia.jpg?v=1755449388"},{"product_id":"billecart-salmon-brut-rose-nv-champagne-champagne-france","title":"Billecart Salmon Brut Rosé  NV Champagne ~ Champagne, France","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 Gilbert \u0026amp; Gaillard \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Huon Hooke \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Bob Campbell 95\/100 James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Wine Spectator \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Falstaff Magazin \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Stephen Tanzer \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Wine Enthusiast \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLe Guide Hachette des Vins, 2009: 1 Star \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLe Guide Hachette des Vins, 2005: 2 Stars Coup de coeur \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLe Guide Hachette des Vins, 2004: 1 Star\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e \"one of my favorite rosé Champagnes out there.
