Drink now....Some wood elevage adds light, cedary notes to the brioche, spiced-berry and apple-pastry aromas The palate has a smooth, full and focused feel with lemon-peel and white-cherry flavors in a crisp, assertive and fresh mode. Poached strawberries to close. \\\u0026quot;\\n\\nWine Spectator - \\\u0026quot;A finely honed, mouthwatering Champagne, featuring a minerally underpinning of saline and chalk accents. Lacy in texture, offering wild cherry and pear fruit flavors, with toast point, lime blossom and lemon pastry cream notes. \\\u0026quot;\\n\\nWine Enthusiast - \\\u0026quot;Equal proportions of the three main Champagne grapes and partial aging in wood before bottling give this wine a distinctively rich character. Bottle aging has also softened the concentrated white fruits and acidity. This balanced wine is ready to drink.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nJohn Gilman - \\\u0026quot;The new release of Sous Bois from Billecart is another beautifully made wine, wafting from the glass in a mélange of apple, pear, fresh-baked bread, stony minerality and a touch of gently buttery new oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and complex, with a fine core, excellent soil signature, very refined mousse, crisp acids and superb length and grip on the gently woody finish. This seems a touch more marked by its oak than last year’s version did- but, I did taste last year’s release about four months later into the year, so perhaps it was just a function of the wine having a bit more time to better absorb its oak component. This is not overtly woody, but I would give it a bit of time in the cellar to allow the oak to become more subtle in its influence. It is a very well-made wine.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nVinous - \\\u0026quot;Bright yellow. Pungent orchard fruit and lemon curd scents are complemented by suggestions of vanilla, anise and smoky minerals. Toasty and silky in texture, offering juicy pear and tangerine flavors plus a deeper suggestion of candied fig on the back half. Closes sappy, focused and long, with repeating smokiness and strong mineral cut.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nStephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar- \\\u0026quot;Light, bright gold. Smoky pear and redcurrant scents are complicated by toasty lees, vanilla and fresh rose. Silky and expansive on the palate, offering toasty citrus and orchard fruit flavors that are given lift and spine by juicy acidity.

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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Billecart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30262201155716,"sku":"BILLECS-BSBC-7506","price":139.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/products\/billecart-salmon-brut-sous-bois-oak-aged-champagne-france-pop-up-wine-1-30516948140264.png?v=1743667353"},{"product_id":"matane-il-matane-primitivo-2016-puglia-italy","title":"Matané Il Matane Primitivo Di Mandura 2017 - Puglia, Italy","description":"\u003cspan data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;90\/100 James Suckling (2013 Vintage)\\n90\/100 Wine Spectator (2012 Vintage)\\n90\/100 Vinous (2010 Vintage)\\nWine Spectator Value Picks (2015 vintage)\\nWine Enthusiast Best Buys 2011 vintage)\\n\\nThe winemaker \\\u0026quot;Fruity, spicy and intense bouquet, with notes of plums, cherries, rosemary and vanilla.

It probably arrived there from the coastal vineyards of Croatia (just across the Adriatic Sea), where it is still grown today, under various tongue-twisting names including Tribidrag and Crljenak Kasteljanski. In the early 19th Century, the variety was introduced to the United States, under the name Zinfandel.

A classic Primitivo wine is high in both alcohol and tannins, intensely flavored and deeply colored. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrimitivo's modern-day home is in southern Italy, particularly Puglia. It probably arrived there from the coastal vineyards of Croatia (just across the Adriatic Sea), where it is still grown today, under various tongue-twisting names including Tribidrag and Crljenak Kasteljanski. In the early 19th Century, the variety was introduced to the United States, under the name Zinfandel. It proved extremely successful there, earning a reputation as the American 'national grape'. \u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Matane","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33453309952132,"sku":"MAT-IIMPR17-7506","price":77.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/products\/matane-il-matane-primitivo-di-mandura-2017-puglia-italy-pop-up-wine-1-32283497595112.png?v=1743667342"},{"product_id":"les-centenaires-rouge-costieres-de-nimes-2018-rhone-france","title":"Les Centenaires La Bergerie Rouge Costières de Nimes (Organic) 2018 - Rhone, France","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e14\/20 La Revue du Vin de France\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrganic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker \u003c\/strong\u003e\"A full-bodied mouthfeel with notes of strawberry, cherry and white pepper, with supple tannins and a lovely length.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e40% Syrah, 30% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 10% Carignan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClos des Centenaires was founded Luc Baudet of Chateau Mas-Neuf fame, and Californian wine industry veteran, Jack Edwards who both share a passion for artisan wines and the terroir of France’s Southern Rhone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClos des Centenaires is a historic vineyard situated in Costieres de Nimes, close to the Mediterranean Sea.

(2010 Vintage)\\n\\nMontepulciano Riserva 'Zanna' is the winery's flagship wine, a 3 Bicchieri Award winner for years in a row. Produced only in the best vintages, Zanna is made with a selection of grapes from old vines (45 years old on average) from a single vineyard, pergola-trained with monitored low production through green harvest.\\n\\nZanna is intense ruby red in color, turning garnet with time. There are hints of blackberry, berry fruits, and dried flowers on the nose. On the palate the wine has great texture and soft tannins, with an elegant and long finish. It will pair perfectly with red meat, game, truffles, and aged cheeses, particularly gorgonzola.\\n\\nThe Zanna vineyard, from which this wine takes its name, is located 287 metres a.s.l. in the Municipality of Controguerra, along the hills to the right of the Tronto river that gradually decline towards the Adriatic sea, with a gentle climate characterized by natural fresh ventilation. \\n\\nThe Zanna vineyard was one of the first vineyards to be planted by the Company and is provided with a pergola trellis system with approximately 1,100 stocks per hectare. \\n\\nMontepulciano d’Abruzzo Colline Teramane is the jewel in the crown of central Italy's Abruzzo region – a fact confirmed by its promotion to DOCG status in 2003. Its name (Colline Teramane) means hills of Teramo, and it is thanks to this prime hilly site with outstanding growing conditions that the Montepulciano d’Abruzzo gem can shine.\\n\\nThis territory in the province of Teramo, with its special microclimate and good soil structure, is located between the high peaks of the Gran Sasso National Park and the Adriatic coast. Local wine growers demonstrate passion, professionalism and respect for the Colline Teramane terroir, as well as treating the Montepulciano d’Abruzzo grape gently by cropping it at reasonably low levels so the vines can bear first-class fruit.\\n\\nThe wines require a minimum of 90% Montepulciano and a maximum of 10% Sangiovese. At least two years of ageing is required, with at least one year in oak barrels and at least six months in bottle before release. Those under the Riserva label must have spent a minimum of three years maturing. The result is a unique wine with distinct organoleptic sensations; it is often notable for its muscular and earthy character, robust but at the same time offering an elegant and velvet-smooth texture.

Well luckily for us and the wine world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are three wines in the range, each crop sourced from a roster of first-rate, cultivated vineyards where Graillot and Schmittel have a close working relationship with the growers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn terms of volume, Equinoxe Crozes-Hermitage is the ‘poster wine’ of the project. The fruit for this early-drinking Crozes is sourced from a mature, gravelly and organically farmed site in Pont de l’Isère that has not seen any herbicide or pesticide for 10 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaxime and Thomas pay close attention to what is happening in the vineyard all year long, decide when to harvest, the way they harvest and the way they make the wine once back at the winery (in Pont de l’Isère). They are very hands-on and take the time to have a relationship with the growers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Rhone Valley is a key wine-producing region in the southeast of France. Crozes-Hermitage is an appellation of the northern Rhone valley in France. It covers a relatively large area on the eastern bank of the Rhone river, to the north and south of Tain L'Hermitage town. Much larger than the prestigious Hermitage appellation which it surrounds, Crozes-Hermitage is also much more prolific. In 2011 almost 70,000 hl of wine were produced and sold under the Crozes-Hermitage title – more than the other seven northern Rhone appellations combined.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSyrah is a dark-skinned red wine grape. Its origins have been popularly debated, but its modern viticultural home is unquestionably the northern Rhône Valley of eastern France. In Australia, Syrah is the flagship variety and has developed such a distinct personality that it is essentially regarded as a distinct variety, is overwhelmingly (but not exclusively) known as Shiraz.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Equis Croze Hemitage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38178034155671,"sku":"EQZ-CROZEQ18-75012","price":58.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/products\/equis-croze-hemitage-equinoxe-maxime-graillot-2018-rhone-france-pop-up-wine-1-32280322834664.png?v=1743667309"},{"product_id":"castello-di-gabiano-barbera-dasti-adornes-superiore-2013-piedmont-italy","title":"Castello di Gabiano - Barbera D'Asti 'Adornes Superiore' 2013 ~ Piedmont, Italy","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;Wine Enthusiast rater\\nJames Suckling favourite\\n\\nWine Enthusiast - \\\u0026quot;This dense, savory wine has tobacco, black-skinned berry and red plum aromas and licorice, blackberry jam and black pepper flavors.

Harvest in small cases with an accurate selection of the best grapes. Fermentation with native yeast in cement tanks and oak vats. Many délestages and pumping over ensures a rich extraction with the calcareous clay soils giving great structure and complexity to this wine. The wine is finished in barrels for 18 months and in bottle for 12 months.\\n\\nBarbera d’Asti is one of the most famous wines from the Piedmont region of north-western Italy. It became a DOC in 1970 and was upgraded to its DOCG classification in 2008, adding to Piedmont's impressive haul of DOCG titles (the highest level of Italian wine classification). The Barbera d'Asti title covers the area around the town of Asti, and exclusively focuses on red wines made from Barbera. Softer and more approachable in its youth than the Nebbiolo used to make Piedmont's most prestigious wines, Barbera is a firm favorite among winemakers and consumers. It is also the region's most widely planted red-wine variety.\\n\\nThe Asti area is located in the hilly areas of the Asti and Alessandria provinces in eastern Piedmont, where the region shares its borders with Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna. The vineyards which produce Barbera d'Asti wine are typically situated on hilly terrain, ranging in altitude anywhere from 300ft to 1000ft (90m to 305m). They span a relatively large area which adjoins the production area of Barbera d’Alba to the north-east.\\n\\nAccording to DOC regulations, any Barbera d'Asti wine must consist of at least 85% Barbera. The remaining 15% can comprise Freisa, Grignolino and Dolcetto. The bottles must not be released for sale before 1 March in the year after harvest, and must achieve a minimum final alcohol level of at least 11.5% alcohol by volume. There is also a superiore designation which requires a minimum of 12 months ageing, with at least six months of this time spent in barrel.\\nBarbera d'Asti is a particularly good ageing wine, with the potential to reward cellaring for up to eight years. At its best it is a rich, tangy, full-bodied wine characterized by an intense ruby-red color which graduates towards garnet red with age. It is a full-bodied wine whose flavors become more balanced and appealing as it matures.\\n\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":31683,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"4\":[null,2,65535],\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":[null,2,0],\"15\":\"arial,sans,sans-serif\",\"16\":12,\"17\":0}'\u003eBarbera d'Asti is a particularly good ageing wine, with the potential to reward cellaring for up to eight years.

Historically it was known that there were two original leaders in terms of winemaking in Pessac-Léognan – Château Carbonnieux for white wines and Châteaux Haut-Brion for red wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1953, 14 châteaux from the Graves region were honoured with the title of “Crus Classés” (Classified Growths), either for their white wines or red wines or both. Château Carbonnieux was renowned for both it’s red and white wines. There are only 6 Châteaux (Bouscaut, Chevalier, Latour-Martillac, Malartic-Lagravière, Olivier and Carbonnieux) among the 9000 wineries from the Bordeaux region that have a classification for both their red and white wines. The 14 “Crus Classés” from the Graves region have been in the Pessac-Léognan AOC since it was created in 1987.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePessac-Leognan is a prestigious appellation for wines produced in a particular area of the Bordeaux region of south-western France.

This was a significant change, as many of the chateaux in what is now Pessac-Leognan were the best performers in the Graves Classification of 1959.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSauvignon Blanc – Semillon is a classic Bordeaux white wine blend. It is most widely produced in France, most notably Bordeaux's Graves district, where both Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon are well-established varieties.

Most of Billecart-Salmon's fruit comes from a small vineyard holding, though this is supplemented with grapes bought in from the Marne Valley and the Montagne de Reims. Meticulous production techniques, from the use of their own cultured yeast to its long, slow, cool fermentation, ensure that the family has 100 percent control of production.\\n\\nChampagne 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.\\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.

Vines grown in these conditions result in wines that are high in acidity - a key component to making good sparkling wine.

Many Tuscan landowners would turn their half of the grape harvest into wine that would be sold to merchants in Florence.

In addition to the Chianti, Canaiolo nero is used almost exclusively in blends, even for different wines of central Italy. The berry is black, medium, round and smooth with blue-violet consistent skin with much bloom. The bunch is medium, rather sparse, stubby or pyramidal, with one or two wings and with a medium-small, five-lobed, rarely three-lobed, dark green and opaque leaf. The grape Canaiolo nero prefers warm climates and hilly terrain, with good exposure. This grape has low vigor and medium age of maturation.

It is full-bodied with impressively rich and smooth texture and soft tannins. For a wine so laden with fruitiness, it has beautiful complexity and holds your interest as only great wines can. (2010 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMontepulciano Riserva 'Zanna' is the winery's flagship wine, a 3 Bicchieri Award winner for years in a row. Produced only in the best vintages, Zanna is made with a selection of grapes from old vines (45 years old on average) from a single vineyard, pergola-trained with monitored low production through green harvest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZanna is intense ruby red in color, turning garnet with time. There are hints of blackberry, berry fruits, and dried flowers on the nose. On the palate the wine has great texture and soft tannins, with an elegant and long finish. It will pair perfectly with red meat, game, truffles, and aged cheeses, particularly gorgonzola.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Zanna vineyard, from which this wine takes its name, is located 287 metres a.s.l. in the Municipality of Controguerra, along the hills to the right of the Tronto river that gradually decline towards the Adriatic sea, with a gentle climate characterized by natural fresh ventilation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Zanna vineyard was one of the first vineyards to be planted by the Company and is provided with a pergola trellis system with approximately 1,100 stocks per hectare. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMontepulciano d’Abruzzo Colline Teramane is the jewel in the crown of central Italy's Abruzzo region – a fact confirmed by its promotion to DOCG status in 2003. Its name (Colline Teramane) means hills of Teramo, and it is thanks to this prime hilly site with outstanding growing conditions that the Montepulciano d’Abruzzo gem can shine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis territory in the province of Teramo, with its special microclimate and good soil structure, is located between the high peaks of the Gran Sasso National Park and the Adriatic coast. Local wine growers demonstrate passion, professionalism and respect for the Colline Teramane terroir, as well as treating the Montepulciano d’Abruzzo grape gently by cropping it at reasonably low levels so the vines can bear first-class fruit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wines require a minimum of 90% Montepulciano and a maximum of 10% Sangiovese. At least two years of ageing is required, with at least one year in oak barrels and at least six months in bottle before release. Those under the Riserva label must have spent a minimum of three years maturing. The result is a unique wine with distinct organoleptic sensations; it is often notable for its muscular and earthy character, robust but at the same time offering an elegant and velvet-smooth texture.

Tenuta Santa Maria all Pieve was established by Gaetano Bertani in 1850 and today it is owned and operated by his descendants, Gaetano Bertani and his sons Giovanni and Guglielmo. Since its sixteenth century origins this elegant estate has been known for the production of fine wines, especially for its for Amarone Classico and Valpolicella Ripasso. It has a stunning chateau and walled vineyards. Since the 1800's the estate has been making wines using the Guyot Method, a technique with an emphasis on high density, and low yield harvests.\\n\\nRipasso is a red wine from the Valpolicella zone located north of Verona in the Veneto region of Italy. Ripasso is generally less well known than Valpolicella and Amarone wines, also from this area, even though it shares some features of both wines.\\n\\nThe term 'Ripasso' sounds like and in fact means “repassed.” That refers to its production process whereby regular, fermented Valpolicella (which is a blend of three regional native red grape varieties - Corvina, Rondinella and occasionally Molinara) is added to a cask containing the skins and lees left over from recently fermented Amarone wines. The process of adding (or repassing”) the lighter Valpolicella wine over the remainders of the “bigger” Amarone wine imparts additional color, texture and flavor to the Valpolicella wine. Also, it induces a second fermentation of the wine that increases the wine’s alcoholic content.\\n\\nThe end result is a wine called Ripasso that retains the vibrancy of Valpolicella but is darker in color, bigger and more flavorful and complex than the original Valpolicella.\\n\\nValpolicella is one of the most prestigious Italian winemaking areas in the Veneto region and is located northwest of the elegant Roman town of Verona, in the western corner of the Veneto. The region has grown far beyond the original classic area and extends east to Soave and west to Bardolino, next to Lake Garda.\\n\\n\\n\u0026quot;}\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Decanter \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 CellarTracker \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Wine Spectator \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 5StarWines \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 Decanter \u003c\/strong\u003e(2016 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Falstaff Magazin \u003c\/strong\u003e(2016 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Wine Enthusiast \u003c\/strong\u003e(2016 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e88\/100 Robert Parker \u003c\/strong\u003e(2016 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver - International Wine \u0026amp; Spirit Competition \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver - London Wine Competition \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze 87 - Decanter World Wine Awards \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold - London Wine Competition \u003c\/strong\u003e(2016 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold - Decanter World Wine Awards \u003c\/strong\u003e(2016 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest of Wine Tourism - Great Wine Capitals \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFederazione Italiana Vignaioli Indipendenti: FIVI\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated Crop Management National Quality System SQNPI\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Creamy wild strawberries and raspberries on the nose, held tight by a light, oaky note.
