The principal varieties involved in a white wine from the southern Rhone are any combination of Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne, Viognier, Ugni Blanc, Clairette, Bourboulenc and Picpoul.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Maucoil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39480050024599,"sku":"CHM-CDP-TRESWT14-7506","price":94.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/6.6_Sale_2026_Product_Background_13.jpg?v=1779681562"},{"product_id":"mchenry-hohnen-burnside-chardonnay-2018-margaret-river-western-australia","title":"McHenry Hohnen Burnside Chardonnay (Organic) 2018 ~ Margaret River, Western Australia","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":760}{\"1\":761,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":780}{\"1\":1170,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1198}{\"1\":1527,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1539}{\"1\":1912,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1926}{\"1\":2277,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":2330}{\"1\":2588,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":2635}{\"1\":3021,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":3031}{\"1\":3406,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":3417}{\"1\":3509,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":3519}{\"1\":3991,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":4001}{\"1\":4140,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":4154}{\"1\":4536,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":4552}' data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":15299,\"3\":{\"1\":1},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16503988},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"verdana\",\"16\":8}' data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;96\/100 Campbell Mattinson (Halliday's Wine Companion)\\n90\/100 Stuart Knox (The Real Review)\\n96\/100 Mike Bennie (2017 vintage)\\n94\/100 Steven Creber (2017 vintage)\\n94\/100 Nick Stock (2017 vintage)\\n94\/100 Ray Jordan (2017 Vintage)\\n97\/100 Ray Jordan, The West Australian (2016 vintage)\\n95\/100 Mike Bennie, Wine Business Magazine (2016 vintage)\\n95\/100 Gary Walsh, Winefront (2016 vintage)\\n92\/100 Huan Hooke (2016 vintage)\\n\\nBronze - Decanter World Wine Awards\\nCommended - Decanter World Wine Awards (2014 vintage)\\nBronze - Decanter World Wine Awards (2013 vintage)\\nBronze - Decanter World Wine Awards (2012 vintage)\\nSilver - Decanter World Wine Awards (2011 vintage)\\n5 Star Winery - James Halliday\\n\\nHalliday's Wine Companion Awards 2023 - Top Wineries of 2022 \u0026amp; 2023\\n\\nCampbell Mattinson \\\u0026quot;...There's a pure, strong drive of acidity running from start to finish too.

Screw cap.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nBob Campbell, The Real Review \\\u0026quot;Bright, tangy yet pleasingly textural sauvignon blanc with nectarine, citrus-lemon, pineapple, wildflowers, spice and anise characters. A rich and quite complex wine with an impressively lengthy finish.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nJoe Czerwinski, Robert Parker Wine Advocate \\\u0026quot;Winemaker Helen Masters builds complexity into the 2019 Te Wa Sauvignon Blanc by incorporating some skin contact (15%), a good bit of barrel fermentation and aging (40%), some malolactic, and indigenous ferments throughout. The impressive result offers up scents of orange marmalade, nectarines and gooseberries, while the medium-bodied palate is unusually silky for Sauvignon Blanc, gliding easily into a long, textural finish. To Masters's great credit, all of the parts come together harmoniously, with none of the individual aspects sticking out.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nWine Enthusiast \\\u0026quot;From stony, alluvial gravels and partially fermented on skins and in barrels, this wine starts with a perfume of pineapple and guava, an underlay of green rind and lavender characters. As it warms, a more subtle, stony minerality floats to the fore. In the mouth it feels young and vibrant, with bright fruit, a slippery texture and rapier acidity. A round, pithy grapefruit finish closes things out. Still a baby, this should blossom in another few years and gain boatloads of complexity with time. Drink 2021–2030.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nHuon Hooke \\\u0026quot;When Ata Rangi started making wine and wanted to get a few runs on the board, they entered some of their wines in competitions. Different vintages of Ata Rangi Pinot Noir won the IWSC London Trophy in 1995, 1996 and 2001. The ten vintages of Ata Rangi Pinot Noir from 1996 each won gold medals and netted a total of seven trophies.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nAta Rangi no longer enters wine competitions, but the accolades continue. In 2010 Ata Rangi and Felton Road were both awarded the inaugural Tipuranga Teitei o Aotearoa or ‘Grand Cru of New Zealand’ by their peers. That’s a serious pat on the back.\\n\\nAta Rangi is a small, family-owned Martinborough winery with a big reputation, particularly for pinot noir. Their grape supply is from nearly 50 hectares of organically grown grapes from 14 small, close proximity vineyards on 30cm of shallow silt-loam on top of 25-metre deep alluvial gravels.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nAta Rangi, meaning \\\u0026quot;dawn sky\\\u0026quot; or \\\u0026quot;new beginning\\\u0026quot; is a small New Zealand winery with a big reputation. Located at the southern end of the North Island, it is owned and managed by a family trio - Clive Paton, his wife Phyll and his sister Alison. Clive planted his first vines on a small, stony sheep paddock at the edge of the Martinborough village in 1980 as one of a handful of people who pioneered winegrowing in the area.\\n\\nMartinborough is a wine-producing area in the southern part of New Zealand's North Island. The small town and surrounding district are home to around 1,500 residents and some of New Zealand's most highly respected boutique wineries.\\n\\nThe Sauvignon Blanc taste is one of the most identifiable in the world of white wines for a few reasons.

Both have been making wine in Margaret River since the early 1970s. McHenry Hohnen vineyards are 100% biodynamic. Their three unique vineyards (Burnside, Calgardup and Hazel’s) produce wines that are a reflection of the land. McHenry Hohnen focus on crafting site expressive wines and are known for producing some of the region's best wines. \\n\\nMargaret River is one of the best known wine regions in Australia, recognized internationally for the quality of its wines and the natural beauty of the region. Although originally renowned for its unusually refined cabernet sauvignon and intensely citrusy chardonnay varieties, the region now produces high quality Semillon-Sauvignon blends and Shiraz. \\n\\nLocated in the south-western corner of Western Australia, it is famous for having a more 'European' wine style than its counterparts across Australia, owing to the regions temperate, coastal location which is very similar to that of Bordeaux.\\n\\nA Bordeaux Blend is any combination of those grape varieties typically used to make the red wines of Bordeaux. Cabernet Sauvignon is widely accepted as a compulsory component of any Bordeaux Blend along with Merlot. In fact, the majority of Bordeaux Blend wines are often made exclusively from a blend of these two varieties. The remaining components are Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. \\n\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":13187,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16711680},\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":12}' data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":36}{\"1\":37,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":72}{\"1\":74,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":96}{\"1\":110,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":129}{\"1\":143,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":175}{\"1\":177,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":206}{\"1\":575,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":586}{\"1\":840,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":854}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 The Wine Front\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Erin Larkin (Halliday's Wine Companion)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Stuart Knox (The Real Review)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Decanter World Wine Awards\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Erin Larkin \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Stuart Knox \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Campbell Mattinson \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Nick Butler \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 The Wine Front \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Steven Creber \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 James Halliday \u003c\/strong\u003e(2016 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5 Star Winery - James Halliday\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHalliday's Wine Companion Awards 2023 - Top Wineries of 2022 \u0026amp; 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e53\/37\/10% malbec\/cabernet sauvignon\/petit verdot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHalliday Wine Companion, Erin Larkin\u003c\/strong\u003e \"The malbec brings the purple fruit and the spice, the cabernet is responsible for the structure in the mouth, the supple tannins and the flash of pure cassis in the mouth.

Daughter Kimberly and son-in-law James Cooter (both with impressive CVs) support him on the winery floor. The NASAA-certified organic and biodynamic estate plantings of shiraz, cabernet sauvignon, tempranillo and grenache are the cornerstones of the business.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe Hedonist is a NASAA certified organic and biodynamic winery in the heart of South Australia's famous McLaren wine district. Esteemed owner Walter Clappis is Australia's only winemaker to win one of Australia's most prestigious wine awards, The Dan Murphy Trophy, three times. The Hedonist adopts a minimalistic and organic approach to winemaking, prioritising biodynamics and sustainability. The Hedonist is a multi-award winning winery.\\n\\nThe McLaren Vale wine region is located approximately 35 kilomters south of Adelaide. It is by far the most important wine-producing area in the Fleurieu zone and is also regarded very highly throughout Australia and the world. A wide array of grape varieties can be successfully grown here. The best wines come from very old vines, some planted more than 100 years ago. These are prized for producing low yields of extremely concentrated fruit. Shiraz leads the region's list of award-winning wines, making McLaren Vale a favorite place to grow this grape. Cabernet Sauvignon is another prominent grape variety, along with Grenache and Mourvedre, which, together with Shiraz, make up some of the most acclaimed GSM blends here. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc dominate McLaren Vale's white grape varieties, with a plethora of other regional and international specialties such as Merlot, Zinfandel, Tempranillo,  Sangiovese and Viognier also making their mark.\\n\\nShiraz, 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.\\n\\nSyrah 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. \\n\\nWinemakers 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.\\n\\nShiraz 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.\\n\u0026quot;}\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic - Currently undergoing NASAA certification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0}{\"1\":606,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":824}{\"1\":839,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1327}{\"1\":1340,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1688}{\"1\":1727,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1867}{\"1\":1882,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":2187}{\"1\":2213,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}' data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":29571,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16573901},\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":8,\"17\":1}' data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;93\/100 Ned Goodwin MW (Halliday Wine Companion) \\nBronze The Wine Front \\n92\/100 The RealReview Stuart Knox , Ranked #44 of 124 (2019 Vintage)\\n95\/100 Jane Faulkner Wine Companion (Halliday Wine Companion) (2017 Vintage)\\n94\/100 James Halliday Wine Companion (Halliday Wine Companion) (2016 Vintage)\\n90\/100 The Wine Front (2016 Vintage) \\n92\/100 The Wine Front (2015 Vintage)\\n\\n95\/100 Gold Medal Decanter World Wine Awards \\n92\/100 Gold Medal Decanter World Wine Awards (2019 Vintage)\\nBronze Medal Decanter World Wine Awards (2017 Vintage)\\n92\/100 Gold Medal Decanter World Wine Awards (2015 Vintage)\\n\\nStuart Knox \\\u0026quot;Firm, gravelly tannins carry tension and give great drive to a long and dry finish........Mulberries, bay leaf and morcilla aromatics.

These are prized for producing low yields of extremely concentrated fruit. Shiraz leads the region's list of award-winning wines, making McLaren Vale a favorite place to grow this grape. Cabernet Sauvignon is another prominent grape variety, along with Grenache and Mourvedre, which, together with Shiraz, make up some of the most acclaimed GSM blends here.

Stylistically, these wines are lush, fruit-forward examples that embody the warmer, sunnier climate.

In Spain it is rosado and in Italy rosato. Rosé’s flavours and styles are as varied as the food it matches.  Rosé predates white and red wine with ancient rosé-style wines dating back 8,000 years. The colour of a rosé can vary dramatically. A deep fuchsia pink rosé may be bone-dry, though it’s likely to be full flavoured given balance by a gentle squeeze of tannin. Tannin primarily comes from the skin of a grape – as does colour. It’s tannin that sets rosé apart from white and red wine. Almost all wine grapes have clear juice; it’s the skins that give the colour. Grenache is the most popular grape used in rosé, with its lifted confectionary aromas, juicy red fruit flavours and mild-mannered tannins creating the textbook triumvirate for rosé. The temperate Provence region of France is home to some of the world’s most accliamed rosé, perhaps naturally, given it’s widely planted with grenache and its Rhône varietals; mourvèdre, cinsault and syrah. \u0026quot;}\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze Ned Goodwin MW (Halliday Wine Companion) \u003c\/strong\u003e(2021 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Natalie MacLean \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze Ned Goodwin MW (Halliday Companion) \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Jane Faulkner (Halliday Companion) \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Carolyn Evans Hammond \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 James Button (Decanter) \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrophy Winner - 2018 Royal Melbourne Wine Show for Best Rosé - Top Gold medal, awarded 96 points \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Silver Medal - Australian Alternative Varieties Wine Show 2017 \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNASAA Certified Biodynamic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Winemaker\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Elegant and refined, but with some texture and interest.

It represents wines which are a step up in quality from the more generic Côtes du Roussillon appellation. The grapes most commonly used in Côtes du Roussillon Villages wines are Carignan, Grenache and Syrah.Côtes du Roussillon-Villages is a sub-appellation in the northern half of the appellation in the valley of the river Agly, from the best slopes around the valley. The appellation is in the foothills of the Pyrenees and the better wines are normally produced from vines on the slopes, not in the valley floors. It is purely for red wines, with stricter appellation regulations than regular Côtes du Roussillon.\\n\\nThe blend allowed is: Carignan (maximum 60%), Syrah, Mourvèdre (minimum 30% combined), Grenache noir, Lladoner. Note that a minimum of three varieties are allowed in the blend.\\n\\nCarignan (also known as Mazuelo, Bovale Grande, Cariñena, Carinyena, Samsó, Carignane, and Carignano) is a red grape variety of Spanish origin that is more commonly found in French wine but is widely planted throughout the western Mediterranean and around the globe. Along with Aramon, it was considered one of the main grapes responsible for France's wine lake and was a substantial producer in jug wine production in California's Central Valley but in recent years, it has been reborn as a flagship wine for many cellars in the south of France as well as in Catalonia.\\n\\nSyrah 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 commonly known as Shiraz.\\n\\nGrenache is a red-wine grape grown extensively in France, Spain, Australia and the United States and is one of the most widely distributed grapes in the world. Grenache is the French name for the grape, but it has a number of synonyms.

The combination of a distinguished winemaking family, the reinvention of a much-maligned wine region, the unlocking of the potential of a mature vineyard and a general sense of creativity, have all contributed to a strong currency. \\n\\nCorymbia is the newish project of Rob and Genevieve Mann. The Mann family, of course, are generational wine producers in WA, with a history of iconic wines and vineyards. Rob, formerly working with Hardys, Cape Mentelle and Newton Vineyard in Napa Valley, has returned home and made a mark.\\n\\nThe family vineyard in Swan Valley is dry grown and organically farmed. While winemaking draws on the Manns’ suite of expertise and diversity of influences, it has been pared back for Corymbia, letting the fruit and character of the wines take the spotlight. \\n\\nThat Swan Valley has been put on a pedestal is wonderful, and a celebration of older vineyards, unique soil profile and a general sense of generational endeavour is exciting for the region. There’s an undercurrent of winemakers amplifying the region’s potential, but arguably Corymbia is the current totem.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nHuon Hooke \\\u0026quot;The Mann family are winemaking royalty in Western Australia.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nCorymbia is a new winery launched by one of founding families of Western Australian wine. The Manns have grown grapes and made wine in the Swan Valley, Western Ausyralia's oldest wine growing region for over a century. Corymbia wines are critically acclaimed, organically-farmed, single-vineyard wines. Founder, Rob Mann is considered one of Australia's best contemporary winemakers. He was senior winemaker at Hardy’s Tintara, and Cape Mentelle, where during his ten year tenure the winery was twice awarded 'Australia's Producer of the Year' and Rob 'Australian Winemaker of the Year'. Prior to founding Coymbia he was Senior Winemaker at LVMH’s Newton Vineyard in the Napa Valley.\\n\\nSwan Valley is a sub-region of the Swan District wine region just north of Perth, in Western Australia. The Swan District is Western Australia’s oldest wine region, having been planted by English settlers soon after their arrival in 1829. For almost 150 years it was the only significant wine-producing region in Western Australia and today it's also home to the state's largest winery. Some of Western Australia's finest wines are produced in the Swan Valley.\\n\\nCabernet Sauvignon is probably 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. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":31683,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"4\":[null,2,16711680],\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":[null,2,0],\"15\":\"arial,sans,sans-serif\",\"16\":12,\"17\":0}' data-sheets-textstyleruns=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Halliday Wine Companion, Erin Larkin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 The Wine Front, Gary Walsh\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Robert Parker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97\/100 Halliday Wine Companion, Erin Larkin \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 The Wine Front\u003c\/strong\u003e (2019 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - The Real Review, Huon Hooke \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 Halliday Wine Companion, Jane Faulkner \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 The Real Review, Nick Butler \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 The Wine Front \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 Jeremy Oliver \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOrganic \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHalliday Wine Companion, Erin Larkin\u003c\/strong\u003e \"This wine has been tasted blind a number of times recently, and it is fascinating each time.

The tannins, while gravelly and pervasive, serve to structure the wine in the mouth and through the finish. Fair warning: I was stumped by this wine upon initial opening: the tannins are firm. But give it some time in a decanter (an hour two should do it, for me it was overnight in the bottle, on the kitchen bench) and they dissolve into the fruit, allowing it to sing, as it should.

Tannins start soft and build to an authority, a trim, succulent, medium weight wine in total cruise control with all elements balanced and a general sense of deliciousness in tow.

An inkier expression but righteous.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe Real Review, Huon Hooke \\\u0026quot;Deep, vividly bright and youthful purple\/red colour.

The palate is long and satisfying. A generous mouthful of red wine.\\\u0026quot; (2015 vintage)\\n\\nHallliday Wine Companion, Ned Goodwin MW \\\u0026quot;A gorgeous magenta sheen, this kicks off with a parade of blue to dark fruits whipped along by a skein of peppery acidity, spindly tannins and a reductive terseness.

Huon Hoooke \\\u0026quot;Good depth and hue of colour; the bouquet is vegetal, suggesting a proportion of stems in the ferment.

It's a medium-bodied, spicy wine, and very approachable.\\\u0026quot; (2013 vintage) \\n\\nTasting Notes \\\u0026quot;A seductive bouquet of fresh blueberries with strawberries and cream confection give way to cherry cola and fragrant white pepper notes. A soft and juicy palate abounds with ripe blueberries, Satsuma plums and red berry sweets. Whilst underlying milk chocolate, fresh vanilla pods and sweetened spices make for a memorable marriage of flavours. A velvety structure with lingering flavours makes this wine a crowd pleaser in any situation!\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nWinemaker Notes\\\u0026quot;The fruit for this wine comes from Hazel’s Vineyard which is our southernmost vineyard. Whole berries were transferred by gravity into 5 tonne concrete fermenters. 30% of the fruit was hand harvested for whole bunch fermentation and additional spice and aromatic lift. Wild fermentation underwent at low temperatures and gentle extraction was carried out by pumping over twice daily. After 8 to 14 days on skins the juice was pressed and transferred to large format oak casks for 14 months maturation.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nFounded by one of the pioneers of the Margaret River winemaking region, David Hohnen, and his brother in law, Murray McHenry, an accomplished fine wine retailer.

The wines have bound from strength, a comment never truer than under the stewardship of winemaker Jacopo (Japo). Under his leadership, the wines have been catapulted into a new realm of quality. The chardonnays particularly exemplify that hard-to-achieve balance of pleasurable on release, and capable of graceful ageing. The move towards organics and sustainable farming has had a positive impact on the quality of the wines, and it is a delight to witness so much diversity in the vineyards - from experimental clones and new plantings, to sheep, chickens, olives and vegetables. McHenry Hohnen is an estate on the move - divert your eyes at your peril - EL.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nMargaret River is one of the best known wine regions in Australia, recognized internationally for the quality of its wines and the natural beauty of the region. Although originally renowned for its unusually refined cabernet sauvignon and intensely citrusy chardonnay varieties, the region now produces high quality Semillon-Sauvignon blends and Shiraz.\\n\\nLocated in the south-western corner of Western Australia, it is famous for having a more 'European' wine style than its counterparts across Australia, owing to the regions temperate, coastal location which is very similar to that of Bordeaux.\\n\\nSauvignon Blanc – Semillon is a classic white wine blend.

All single-vineyard chardonnays are made in the same way here, highlighting the differences in terroir: Hand picked, whole-bunch pressed, full solids, wild ferment in barrel (25% new) and 4 months' maturation, partial mlf, fortnightly bâtonnage. Where the Burnside is granitic, mineral and fine, this is pithy, saline and expansive, with layers of cheesecloth and lanolin amongst the ripe stone fruit. More volume and density of flavour than the Burnside (neither here nor there qualitatively, simply an observation), this is sensational.

This is perhaps my favourite (by a whisker) of these 2 single-vineyard chardonnays. It has a bitter phenolic kick through the finish that adds a layer of sparkle, interest and excitement to the wine and creates a salty undulation through the finish. It moves in a dappled way, this wine.

The oak and acidity sit beautifully within the wine and create layers of sophisticated bliss.

Packed and phenolic, with freshness and length.” 92018 vintage)\\n\\nThe Winemaker “The nose opens with notes of oyster shell, frangipani and sea spray with delicate nashi pear pulp and nectarine. Wild fermentation with full solids provides flinty complexity and extended time on lees adds intrigue and excellent length to the palate. A distinctive saline acidity and attractive chalk-like structure complement the mineral nature of this unique Southern Margaret River vineyard near the Indian Ocean.”\\n\\nMike Bennie, The Wine Front \\\u0026quot;Far out. How good are McHenry Hohnen wines getting? And quite diverse in their feel compared to most from the region. Stellar. Lots of battonage, lots of lees, “I’m just obsessed with flavour” says winemaker Julian Grounds. Righteous. So much to like here. A quietly powerful, detailed chardonnay that shows with citrus, green apple, lashings of ‘mineral’, faint toast and whiffs of peanut\/cashew. The palate follows a similar route, powerful in flavour but not stretching the palate with oomph, instead, precise, tight, true and long. Scintillating stuff here.\\\u0026quot; (2017 Vintage)\\n\\nNick Butler, The Real Review \\\u0026quot;An attractive mix of white stone fruits, citrus rind and classy oak. It's creamy on the front palate, which dives into a tart lemon and lime acidity. Bright, fresh and balanced; it's a lovely wine, though lacking the core and fruit weight of warmer ripening seasons.\\\u0026quot; (2017 Vintage)\\n\\nNick Stock, James Suckling \\\u0026quot;Quite savory and elegant chardonnay with aromas of fresh pastry and dry stones, as well as white melon and light peach. The palate has sleek, elegantly cut style with melon and peach here, too, Very crisp, long and elegant. Drink or hold. Screw cap.\\\u0026quot; (2017 Vintage)\\n\\nGary Walsh, The Wine Front \\\u0026quot;White peach, mint nougat, subtle spice, stones and struck match.

The 2008 Clos du Marquis may be one of the two or three finest second wines I have tasted from proprietor Jean-Hubert Delon. A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot that came in at 13.5% natural alcohol, it is a pure, deep, full-bodied effort displaying classic aromas of creme de cassis, licorice, and crushed rocks. On the palate, there is a sensational black fruit character, no hard edges, and a seamless integration of all the component parts.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nNeal Martin \\\u0026quot;The 2008 Clos du Marquis has an expressive bouquet with blackberry, briary and pencil shaving aromas that gains intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with just a light seam of greenness, although it merely adds freshness and asserts its classicism. I find this fresh and balanced, sporting just the right amount of dryness on the cassis-driven finish that balanced with the fruit, lending it a “breezy” and unassuming character that suits it down to the ground.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nJames Suckling \\\u0026quot;A layered and minerally wine, with currants and berries.

It was rated the second growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification and was traditionally the softest of the three Léovilles. However, in the last few decades, the Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wine has gained weight and density.\\n\\nSaint-Julien is a small but important red wine appellation of the Haut-Médoc district on the Left Bank of Bordeaux in south-western France. Its reputation is based on its status as a reliable source of consistently elegant, age-worthy wines. Sandwiched between the more famous appellations of Pauillac and Margaux, Saint-Julien is sometimes unfairly overlooked because it does not have a first growth chateau in the 1855 Bordeaux classification.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions. Its three trump cards are diversity, quality and quantity. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 per cent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\\n\\nA Bordeaux Blend is any combination of those grape varieties typically used to make the red wines of Bordeaux. Cabernet Sauvignon is widely accepted as a compulsory component of any Bordeaux Blend along with Merlot. In fact, the majority of Bordeaux Blend wines are often made exclusively from a blend of these two varieties. The remaining components are Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec.\\n\\n1 x Chateau Maucoil Chateauneuf-du-Pape Esprit 2012 ~ Southern Rhone, France\\n\\n91\/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider\\n91\/100 Wine Enthusaist\\n17\/20 Jancis Robinson\\n\\nWine Enthusiast \\\u0026quot;From the oldest vines of the estate, this is a lush, luscious wine.

Blackberry compote notes.'\\n\\nChâteau Maucoil has been under the care of several different illustrious wine growing families over the centuries, but it is now owned and managed by the talented winemakers Frederic and Benoit Lavau. With the consulting advice of famed French winemaker Stephane Derenoncourt, the Lavau brothers have been making stellar and highly awarded wines and today are one of the few producers to continue to cultivate all 13 permitted grape varieties permitted by the Châteauneuf-du-Pape regulations.\\n\\nChâteauneuf-du-Pape is a historic village between the towns of Orange and Avignon, in France's southern Rhône Valley. It is famous for powerful, full-bodied red wines made predominantly from the classic southern Rhône grape trio: Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. These three varieties are behind the vast majority of the appellation's red wines, although a total of eighteen are approved for use – a mix of red and white grape varieties.\\n\\n1 x Chateau Marquis de Terme, Margaux 2016 -  Bordeaux , France\\n\\n94\/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider\\n93\/100 Neal Martin, Vinous\\n92\/100 Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\\n92\/100 Falstaff Magazin\\n92\/100 Wine Enthusiast\\n91\/100 Decanter\\n91\/100 Jeb Dunnuck\\n90\/100 Wine Spectator\\n\\nSilver, International Wine \u0026amp; Spirit Competition\\n\\nOrganic\\n\\nJeff Leve “...Soft, polished, round and with fruit to spare, this is showing great today and will only get better with time...floral nuances to the licorice, cherry, black raspberry and smoky overtones. ”\\n\\nNeal Martin, Vinous “...Elegant and cohesive, this is a fine Margaux .........crushed violet and incense infusing the vivacious black fruit.

American President Thomas Jefferson - himself a wine connoisseur, visited Bordeaux in 1787 - declaring Château Marquis de Terme as one of the 16 best Bordeaux wines he tasted.\\n\\nChateau Marquis de Terme began organic farming on a small parcel of vines with their first organic wine being the 2013 vintage. They are now farming their vineyards entirely organically achieving organic certification in 2017. Sitting on the doorstep of Margaux, Château Marquis de Terme is emblematic of both how many Bordeaux châteaux were once created and of the famous Margaux terroir. Though a Grand Cru Classé and world-renowned wine, the family owned estate is dedicated to premium wine-making and world class organic practices. The location of the estate at the heart of the Margaux appellation offers a climate that is heavily influenced by both the Gironde estuary and Bay of Biscay, as well as the sheltering effects of the coastal pine forests that protect the vines from the westerly and northwesterly winds.\\n\\nMargaux is an important appellation in the Haut-Médoc district of Bordeaux, southwestern France. The appellation is famous for producing supple, perfumed wines, predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon. The Margaux appellation contains 21 cru classé properties from the 1855 Bordeaux Classification (20 of which still exist), more than any other Left Bank appellation.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions.

The fruit is all destemmed and fermented in old barriques, plus a little stainless steel. The aromas wake you up with their vivid, peppery, spicy fireworks. The palate is medium-bodied, with lovely concentration of fruit. There's real freshness and vitality here, with balanced acidity and snappy, saline, gently serrated tannins. It's so drinkable and moreish, I would pick this over their Reine des Bois in 2017, which has a much riper (I would say overripe) fruit profile.

Layered and complex, this brilliant red goes on to impress with incredible purity, along with a gorgeous combination of earthy and meaty characteristics that continue through the long supple finish.

In a 2007 issue of the Wine Advocate, Parker said:\\n\\n\\\u0026quot;With 135 acres spread throughout some of the most impressive appellations of the southern Rhône, Christophe Delorme and his brother...have done nothing but produce one exquisite wine after another. Of course, the top cuvees of Châteauneuf-du-Pape are rare and expensive, but this is a place to find terrific Cotes du Rhones and Liracs as well. Delorme is equally adept at dry whites as well as reds, and turns out some stunning roses both under the Cotes du Rhône and Tavel appellations...\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nWith a total of 5 hectares of vines, many over 100 years old, Domaine de la Mordoree practices only self sustainable, organic farming of their vineyards in all their locations including Chateauneuf du Pape, Lirac, Tavel and the Cotes du Rhone. In 2013 Domaine de la Mordoree was certified 100% organic. The estate's Châteauneuf-du-Papes, Lirac Reds \u0026amp; Whites, and Tavel Rosés are among the most highly rated of the region.\\n\\nChristophe produced his first wines in 1987. Up until that time the estate had been little more than a hobby for his father, an industrialist with two great passions; shooting and wine.\\n\\nChristophe totally refurbished and modernised the winery as well as replanting much of the vineyards. Today the domaine has 40 hectares of vineyards - 7 hectares in Tavel, 15 hectares in Lirac (top-notch examples), 16 hectares for generic Côtes-du-Rhône and 3 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Following Christophe's untimely death in 2015, his wife and daughter, Madeleine and Ambre, have taken on the running of the domaine, ably assisted by Rémy Chauvet, who was the cellarmaster under Christophe. As Jeb Dunnuck has put it in the Wine Advocate, 'the estate is obviously still in incredibly capable hands'.\\n\\nChristophe’s legacy and his talent live on through his daughter Ambre, as well as a talented team at Domaine de la Mordoree that includes winemaker Rémy Chauvet, who worked as Christophe’s cellar manager. Jeb Dunnuck praised the estate for the quality of their first vintage without Christophe, saying the Domaine was “obviously still in incredibly capable hands.”\\n\\nChâteauneuf-du-Pape is a historic village between the towns of Orange and Avignon, in France's southern Rhône Valley. It is famous for powerful, full-bodied red wines made predominantly from the classic southern Rhône grape trio: Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. These three varieties are behind the vast majority of the appellation's red wines, although a total of eighteen are approved for use – a mix of red and white grape varieties.\\n\\n\\n1 x Chateau Lynch-Moussas, Pauillac 2016 - Bordeaux , France\\n\\n94\/100 Wine Advocate\\n93\/100 Falstaff Magazin\\n93\/100 James Suckling\\n92\/100 Decanter\\n92\/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider\\n92+\/100 Neal Martin, vinous.com\\n91\/100 Jeb Dunnuck\\n91\/100 Wine Spectator\\n\\n92\/100 Highly Recommended Silver - Decanter World Wine Awards\\nDecanter Wines of the Year 2021\\n\\nJeb Dunnuck “A fine Pauillac and has a pretty, classic, elegant style that’s very much in the character of the vintage.

At the time, the estate was much larger than it is today. In fact, the Left Bank estate was so large in those days, it was eventually divided into two parts. Half of the estate gave birth to Chateau Lynch Bages. The remaining portion became Chateau Lynch Moussas. Like Lynch-Bages, it was ranked as a fifth growth in the 1855 Bordeaux classification.\\n\\nIn 1919, Chateau Lynch Moussas was purchased by the Casteja family and its negociant arm, Borie Manoux, which owns numerous other Bordeaux estates in the Medoc and the Right Bank including Chateau Batailley and Chateau Trotte Vieille. At the time of the purchase, they also owned Chateau Duhart-Milon.\\n\\nPauillac is a wine-growing region located between Saint-Estèphe and Saint-Julien on Bordeaux's Médoc peninsula (“Left Bank”), is home to some of the world's most famous and expensive red wines, made predominantly from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety, which is well suited to the free-draining gravel soils found in Pauillac's vineyards. The stellar reputation of Pauillac wines is based not only on their quality but on their success in international fine wine markets. Three of the top five châteaux in the 1855 Médoc Classification (a ranking of Bordeaux's best wine-producing properties) are located here: Mouton Rothschild, Lafite Rothschild, and Château Latour.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious, and prolific wine regions. Its three trump cards are diversity, quality, and quantity. 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. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\\n\\nA Bordeaux Blend is any combination of those grape varieties typically used to make the red wines of Bordeaux. Cabernet Sauvignon is widely accepted as a compulsory component of any Bordeaux Blend along with Merlot. In fact, the majority of Bordeaux Blend wines are often made exclusively from a blend of these two varieties.

This shows a touch more class and purity than the traditional cuvée and should have a longer drink window as well.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe history of Château Maucoil began several centuries ago. Ancient documents state that its first occupants were Romans who set up a base for Caesar’s legions. Later, Joseph de La Pise, Lord of Maucoil and archivist of the House of Orange-Nassau, the Dutch royal family, inherited the estate and the castle which was built in 1624. From then on, winegrowing became an intrinsic part of the history of Château Maucoil.\\n\\nThe 45 hectares of vines in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation have been organic agriculture since 2011. Château Maucoil uses ancient methods such as furrowing, forming mounds and ploughing to tend the vineyard.\\n\\nOriginally from Bordeaux, the Lavau family who now own Château Maucoil, have been involved with winemaking for generations, and have had vineyards ranging from Bordeaux to Tunisia. In 1964 they were seduced by the richness and quality of the Provencal soil and settled down to make wine in the Rhone Valley.\\n\\nChâteauneuf-du-Pape is a historic village between the towns of Orange and Avignon, in France's southern Rhône Valley. It is famous for powerful, full-bodied red wines made predominantly from the classic southern Rhône grape trio: Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. These three varieties are behind the vast majority of the appellation's red wines, although a total of eighteen are approved for use – a mix of red and white grape varieties.\\n\\nSouthern Rhone White Blend is a blanket term used to describe the various combinations of white wine grapes used in the southern half of the Rhone Valley.

Its reputation is based on its status as a reliable source of consistently elegant, age-worthy wines.

They are now farming their vineyards entirely organically achieving organic certification in 2017. Sitting on the doorstep of Margaux, Château Marquis de Terme is emblematic of both how many Bordeaux châteaux were once created and of the famous Margaux terroir. Though a Grand Cru Classé and world-renowned wine, the family owned estate is dedicated to premium wine-making and world class organic practices. The location of the estate at the heart of the Margaux appellation offers a climate that is heavily influenced by both the Gironde estuary and Bay of Biscay, as well as the sheltering effects of the coastal pine forests that protect the vines from the westerly and northwesterly winds.\\n\\nMargaux is an important appellation in the Haut-Médoc district of Bordeaux, southwestern France. The appellation is famous for producing supple, perfumed wines, predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon.

The fruit is all destemmed and fermented in old barriques, plus a little stainless steel. The aromas wake you up with their vivid, peppery, spicy fireworks. The palate is medium-bodied, with lovely concentration of fruit. There's real freshness and vitality here, with balanced acidity and snappy, saline, gently serrated tannins. It's so drinkable and moreish, I would pick this over their Reine des Bois in 2017, which has a much riper (I would say overripe) fruit profile. One of my value picks of the vintage.\\\u0026quot; (2017 Vintage)\\n\\nWine Enthusiast \\\u0026quot;With it's pristine blackberry and boysenberry flavors and a juicy, freshly concentrated demeanor, the Grenache-dominant La Dame Voyageuse is more welcoming in youth than the producer's densely packed La Reine des Bois bottling.

D'Angelo \\\u0026quot;a simply sensational release in this vintage. It instantly beings to impress with its fantastic aromatic profile of blackberry, dark cherry and strawberries along with garrigue leather, bacon fat, black pepper and hints loam and tar. On the palate this displays a wonderful elegant character, with soft, polished tannins making for a gorgoeus mouthfeel. Layered and complex, this brilliant red goes on to impress with incredible purity, along with a gorgeous combination of earthy and meaty characteristics that continue through the long supple finish. While the 2016 is nothing short of outstanding now, it also shows incredible promise to become even more compelling as it evolves.\\\u0026quot; (2015 Vintage)\\n\\nGrenache 90%, Mourvedre 4%, Syrah 4%, Counoise 1% and Vaccarese 1%\\n\\nDomaine de la Mordoree was founded in 1986 by brothers Fabrice Delmore and Christophe Delorme and has become one of the top estates in the Rhône, with arguably the exceptionally consistent quality.\\nChristophe Delorme was highly regarded by Robert Parker Jr. of The Wine Advocate, who pinned Mordorée as \\\u0026quot;one of the world’s greatest wine estates\\\u0026quot;. In a 2007 issue of the Wine Advocate, Parker said:\\n\\n\\\u0026quot;With 135 acres spread throughout some of the most impressive appellations of the southern Rhône, Christophe Delorme and his brother...have done nothing but produce one exquisite wine after another. Of course, the top cuvees of Châteauneuf-du-Pape are rare and expensive, but this is a place to find terrific Cotes du Rhones and Liracs as well. Delorme is equally adept at dry whites as well as reds, and turns out some stunning roses both under the Cotes du Rhône and Tavel appellations...\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nWith a total of 5 hectares of vines, many over 100 years old, Domaine de la Mordoree practices only self sustainable, organic farming of their vineyards in all their locations including Chateauneuf du Pape, Lirac, Tavel and the Cotes du Rhone. In 2013 Domaine de la Mordoree was certified 100% organic. The estate's Châteauneuf-du-Papes, Lirac Reds \u0026amp; Whites, and Tavel Rosés are among the most highly rated of the region.\\n\\nChristophe produced his first wines in 1987. Up until that time the estate had been little more than a hobby for his father, an industrialist with two great passions; shooting and wine.\\n\\nChristophe totally refurbished and modernised the winery as well as replanting much of the vineyards. Today the domaine has 40 hectares of vineyards - 7 hectares in Tavel, 15 hectares in Lirac (top-notch examples), 16 hectares for generic Côtes-du-Rhône and 3 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Following Christophe's untimely death in 2015, his wife and daughter, Madeleine and Ambre, have taken on the running of the domaine, ably assisted by Rémy Chauvet, who was the cellarmaster under Christophe. As Jeb Dunnuck has put it in the Wine Advocate, 'the estate is obviously still in incredibly capable hands'.\\n\\nChristophe’s legacy and his talent live on through his daughter Ambre, as well as a talented team at Domaine de la Mordoree that includes winemaker Rémy Chauvet, who worked as Christophe’s cellar manager. Jeb Dunnuck praised the estate for the quality of their first vintage without Christophe, saying the Domaine was “obviously still in incredibly capable hands.”\\n\\nChâteauneuf-du-Pape is a historic village between the towns of Orange and Avignon, in France's southern Rhône Valley. It is famous for powerful, full-bodied red wines made predominantly from the classic southern Rhône grape trio: Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. These three varieties are behind the vast majority of the appellation's red wines, although a total of eighteen are approved for use – a mix of red and white grape varieties.\\n\\n\\n1 x Chateau Lynch-Moussas, Pauillac 2016 - Bordeaux , France\\n\\n94\/100 Wine Advocate\\n93\/100 Falstaff Magazin\\n93\/100 James Suckling\\n92\/100 Decanter\\n92\/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider\\n92+\/100 Neal Martin, vinous.com\\n91\/100 Jeb Dunnuck\\n91\/100 Wine Spectator\\n\\n92\/100 Highly Recommended Silver - Decanter World Wine Awards\\nDecanter Wines of the Year 2021\\n\\nJeb Dunnuck “A fine Pauillac and has a pretty, classic, elegant style that’s very much in the character of the vintage.

At the time, the estate was much larger than it is today. In fact, the Left Bank estate was so large in those days, it was eventually divided into two parts. Half of the estate gave birth to Chateau Lynch Bages. The remaining portion became Chateau Lynch Moussas. Like Lynch-Bages, it was ranked as a fifth growth in the 1855 Bordeaux classification.\\n\\nIn 1919, Chateau Lynch Moussas was purchased by the Casteja family and its negociant arm, Borie Manoux, which owns numerous other Bordeaux estates in the Medoc and the Right Bank including Chateau Batailley and Chateau Trotte Vieille. At the time of the purchase, they also owned Chateau Duhart-Milon.\\n\\nPauillac is a wine-growing region located between Saint-Estèphe and Saint-Julien on Bordeaux's Médoc peninsula (“Left Bank”), is home to some of the world's most famous and expensive red wines, made predominantly from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety, which is well suited to the free-draining gravel soils found in Pauillac's vineyards. The stellar reputation of Pauillac wines is based not only on their quality but on their success in international fine wine markets. Three of the top five châteaux in the 1855 Médoc Classification (a ranking of Bordeaux's best wine-producing properties) are located here: Mouton Rothschild, Lafite Rothschild, and Château Latour.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious, and prolific wine regions. Its three trump cards are diversity, quality, and quantity. 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. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\\n\\nA Bordeaux Blend is any combination of those grape varieties typically used to make the red wines of Bordeaux. Cabernet Sauvignon is widely accepted as a compulsory component of any Bordeaux Blend along with Merlot. In fact, the majority of Bordeaux Blend wines are often made exclusively from a blend of these two varieties. The remaining components are Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec.\\n\\n1 x Château Maucoil Châteauneuf-du-Pape Trésor White 2014 - Rhône Valley, France\\n\\n90\/100 Wine Spectator\\n90\/100 Wine Enthusiast\\n90\/100 Robert Parker\\n\\n30% Grenache Blanc, 30% Clairette, 30% Bourboulenc and 10% Roussanne\\n\\nJeb Dunnuck \\\u0026quot;More tropical in character with plenty of pineapple, peach and subtle brioche, the 2014 Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc Tresor des Papes is medium-bodied, beautifully textured, and lengthy with a dry finish.

It is famous for powerful, full-bodied red wines made predominantly from the classic southern Rhône grape trio: Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre.

American President Thomas Jefferson - himself a wine connoisseur, visited Bordeaux in 1787 - declaring Château Marquis de Terme as one of the 16 best Bordeaux wines he tasted.\\n\\nChateau Marquis de Terme began organic farming on a small parcel of vines with their first organic wine being the 2013 vintage. They are now farming their vineyards entirely organically achieving organic certification in 2017. Sitting on the doorstep of Margaux, Château Marquis de Terme is emblematic of both how many Bordeaux châteaux were once created and of the famous Margaux terroir. Though a Grand Cru Classé and world-renowned wine, the family owned estate is dedicated to premium wine-making and world class organic practices. The location of the estate at the heart of the Margaux appellation offers a climate that is heavily influenced by both the Gironde estuary and Bay of Biscay, as well as the sheltering effects of the coastal pine forests that protect the vines from the westerly and northwesterly winds.\\n\\nMargaux is an important appellation in the Haut-Médoc district of Bordeaux, southwestern France. The appellation is famous for producing supple, perfumed wines, predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon. The Margaux appellation contains 21 cru classé properties from the 1855 Bordeaux Classification (20 of which still exist), more than any other Left Bank appellation.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions. Its three trump cards are diversity, quality and quantity. 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. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\\n\\nA Bordeaux Blend is any combination of those grape varieties typically used to make the red wines of Bordeaux. Cabernet Sauvignon is widely accepted as a compulsory component of any Bordeaux Blend along with Merlot. In fact, the majority of Bordeaux Blend wines are often made exclusively from a blend of these two varieties. The remaining components are Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec.\\n\\n1 x Domaine de la Mordoree Chateauneuf-du-Pape La Dame Voyageuse (Organic) 2018 -  Rhone, France\\n\\n94-95\/100 VertdeVin\\n92\/100 Decanter\\n92\/100 Wine Spectator\\n90\/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider\\n90\/100 Robert Parker\\n16.5\/20 Jancis Robinson\\n93\/100 Wine Spectator (2019 Vintage)\\n16.5\/20 Jancis Robinson (2019 Vintage)\\n95\/100 Wine Enthusiast (2017 Vintage)\\n93\/100 James Suckling (2017 Vintage)\\n91\/100 Andreas Larsson - Tasted (2017 Vintage)\\n91\/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider (2017 Vintage)\\n90\/100 Decanter World Wine Awards (2017 Vintage)\\n96\/100 Wine Enthusiast (2016 Vintage)\\n95\/100 International Wine Report (2016 Vintage)\\n93\/100 Wine Spectator (2016 Vintage)\\n94\/100 Falstaff (2015 Vintage)\\n93\/100 Wine Enthusiast (2015)\\n92\/100 Wine Spectator (2014)\\n\\n2 Stars - Le Guide Hachette des Vins (2015 Vintage)\\n1 Star - Le Guide Hachette des Vins (2014 Vintage)\\n\\nVertdeVin \\\u0026quot;The nose is aromatic and offers intensity (in finesse), deepness, a fine concentration, an aromatic purity as well as precision and a beautiful bright fruit.

In a 2007 issue of the Wine Advocate, Parker said:\\n\\n\\\u0026quot;With 135 acres spread throughout some of the most impressive appellations of the southern Rhône, Christophe Delorme and his brother...have done nothing but produce one exquisite wine after another. Of course, the top cuvees of Châteauneuf-du-Pape are rare and expensive, but this is a place to find terrific Cotes du Rhones and Liracs as well. Delorme is equally adept at dry whites as well as reds, and turns out some stunning roses both under the Cotes du Rhône and Tavel appellations...\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nWith a total of 5 hectares of vines, many over 100 years old, Domaine de la Mordoree practices only self sustainable, organic farming of their vineyards in all their locations including Chateauneuf du Pape, Lirac, Tavel and the Cotes du Rhone. In 2013 Domaine de la Mordoree was certified 100% organic. The estate's Châteauneuf-du-Papes, Lirac Reds \u0026amp; Whites, and Tavel Rosés are among the most highly rated of the region.\\n\\nChristophe produced his first wines in 1987. Up until that time the estate had been little more than a hobby for his father, an industrialist with two great passions; shooting and wine.\\n\\nChristophe totally refurbished and modernised the winery as well as replanting much of the vineyards. Today the domaine has 40 hectares of vineyards - 7 hectares in Tavel, 15 hectares in Lirac (top-notch examples), 16 hectares for generic Côtes-du-Rhône and 3 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Following Christophe's untimely death in 2015, his wife and daughter, Madeleine and Ambre, have taken on the running of the domaine, ably assisted by Rémy Chauvet, who was the cellarmaster under Christophe. As Jeb Dunnuck has put it in the Wine Advocate, 'the estate is obviously still in incredibly capable hands'.\\n\\nChristophe’s legacy and his talent live on through his daughter Ambre, as well as a talented team at Domaine de la Mordoree that includes winemaker Rémy Chauvet, who worked as Christophe’s cellar manager. Jeb Dunnuck praised the estate for the quality of their first vintage without Christophe, saying the Domaine was “obviously still in incredibly capable hands.”\\n\\nChâteauneuf-du-Pape is a historic village between the towns of Orange and Avignon, in France's southern Rhône Valley.

At the time, the estate was much larger than it is today. In fact, the Left Bank estate was so large in those days, it was eventually divided into two parts. Half of the estate gave birth to Chateau Lynch Bages. The remaining portion became Chateau Lynch Moussas. Like Lynch-Bages, it was ranked as a fifth growth in the 1855 Bordeaux classification.\\n\\nIn 1919, Chateau Lynch Moussas was purchased by the Casteja family and its negociant arm, Borie Manoux, which owns numerous other Bordeaux estates in the Medoc and the Right Bank including Chateau Batailley and Chateau Trotte Vieille.

The stellar reputation of Pauillac wines is based not only on their quality but on their success in international fine wine markets.

Ancient documents state that its first occupants were Romans who set up a base for Caesar’s legions. Later, Joseph de La Pise, Lord of Maucoil and archivist of the House of Orange-Nassau, the Dutch royal family, inherited the estate and the castle which was built in 1624. From then on, winegrowing became an intrinsic part of the history of Château Maucoil.\\n\\nThe 45 hectares of vines in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation have been organic agriculture since 2011. Château Maucoil uses ancient methods such as furrowing, forming mounds and ploughing to tend the vineyard.\\n\\nOriginally from Bordeaux, the Lavau family who now own Château Maucoil, have been involved with winemaking for generations, and have had vineyards ranging from Bordeaux to Tunisia.

Accordingly, two separate DOCG designations apply to wines from the Chianti region: the Chianti Classico DOCG for the heartland of Chianti, and Chianti DOCG for all other Chianti regions. (In 1984, the Chianti region was promoted from DOC to DOCG - Italy’s highest classification - and in 1996, Chianti Classico - the historic heartland of the region - DOCG was created, which gave autonomy to that region. In the last 20 years, a consortium of Chianti Classico producers have researched new Sangiovese clones, replanted vineyards, updated cellar practices and generally made Chianti Classico DOCG a world-class appellation. Chianti Classico must contain a minimum of 75% Sangiovese. In the 2014 edition of its annual compendium of wine ratings, Gambero Rosso noted that Chianti Classico DOCG wines were noteworthy for their “significant return to a more defined style, true to tradition.” The typical Chianti Classico wine is a ruby-red, Sangiovese-based wine with aromas of violets and cherries and a hint of earthy spice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chianti DOCG designation covers wines from six Chianti sub-zones (Colli Pisane, Colli Fiorentini, Colli Senesi, Colli Aretini, Montalbano and Rufina) as well as all other Chianti wines. The Chianti Classico DOCG is located in the very center of Tuscany, between Florence and Sienna.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrunello di Montalcino is a wine made with 100% Sangiovese with Italy’s highest DOCG classification. Sangiovese is the wine that most wine critics cite to be the best in all of Italy. Brunello di Montalcino is made with a local Tuscan type of Sangiovese referred to as Brunello or Sangiovese Grosso. Some also call it Prugnolo Gentile. Noted for having thicker-skinned berries, and because of this, Brunello produces wines with exceptionally bold fruit flavors, high tannin, and high acidity. The fruit is a contributes to the enduring popularity of Brunello di Montalcino.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSangiovese (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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;1 x Clos du Marquis', Saint-Julien 2008 - Bordeaux , France\\n\\n92\/100 James Suckling\\n92\/100 Falstaff Magazine\\n91\/100 Wine Enthusiast\\n91\/100 Jeannie Cho Lee\\n90\/100 Vinous Antonio Galloni\\n90\/100 Neal Martin\\n90\/100 Wine Spectator\\n90\/100 Robert Parker\\n90\/100 Stephen Tanzer\\n90\/100 CellarTracker\\n90\/100 Jeff Leve\\n16.5\/20 Vinum Wine Magazine\\n16.5\/20 La Revue du Vin de France\\n16\/20 Gault \u0026amp; Millau\\n15.5\/20 Jancis Robinson\\n\\n2 Stars - Le Guide Hachette des Vins\\n\\nRobert Parker \\\u0026quot;For many years, Las Cases' second wine has been the equivalent of a classified growth in the Medoc.

It was rated the second growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification and was traditionally the softest of the three Léovilles. However, in the last few decades, the Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wine has gained weight and density.\\n\\nSaint-Julien is a small but important red wine appellation of the Haut-Médoc district on the Left Bank of Bordeaux in south-western France. Its reputation is based on its status as a reliable source of consistently elegant, age-worthy wines. Sandwiched between the more famous appellations of Pauillac and Margaux, Saint-Julien is sometimes unfairly overlooked because it does not have a first growth chateau in the 1855 Bordeaux classification.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions. Its three trump cards are diversity, quality and quantity. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 per cent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\\n\\nA Bordeaux Blend is any combination of those grape varieties typically used to make the red wines of Bordeaux. Cabernet Sauvignon is widely accepted as a compulsory component of any Bordeaux Blend along with Merlot. In fact, the majority of Bordeaux Blend wines are often made exclusively from a blend of these two varieties. The remaining components are Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec.\\n\\n1 x Chateau Maucoil Chateauneuf-du-Pape Esprit 2012 ~ Southern Rhone, France\\n\\n91\/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider\\n91\/100 Wine Enthusaist\\n17\/20 Jancis Robinson\\n\\nWine Enthusiast \\\u0026quot;From the oldest vines of the estate, this is a lush, luscious wine.

It is famous for powerful, full-bodied red wines made predominantly from the classic southern Rhône grape trio: Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre.

American President Thomas Jefferson - himself a wine connoisseur, visited Bordeaux in 1787 - declaring Château Marquis de Terme as one of the 16 best Bordeaux wines he tasted.\\n\\nChateau Marquis de Terme began organic farming on a small parcel of vines with their first organic wine being the 2013 vintage. They are now farming their vineyards entirely organically achieving organic certification in 2017. Sitting on the doorstep of Margaux, Château Marquis de Terme is emblematic of both how many Bordeaux châteaux were once created and of the famous Margaux terroir. Though a Grand Cru Classé and world-renowned wine, the family owned estate is dedicated to premium wine-making and world class organic practices. The location of the estate at the heart of the Margaux appellation offers a climate that is heavily influenced by both the Gironde estuary and Bay of Biscay, as well as the sheltering effects of the coastal pine forests that protect the vines from the westerly and northwesterly winds.\\n\\nMargaux is an important appellation in the Haut-Médoc district of Bordeaux, southwestern France. The appellation is famous for producing supple, perfumed wines, predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon. The Margaux appellation contains 21 cru classé properties from the 1855 Bordeaux Classification (20 of which still exist), more than any other Left Bank appellation.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions.

The palate is medium-bodied, with lovely concentration of fruit. There's real freshness and vitality here, with balanced acidity and snappy, saline, gently serrated tannins. It's so drinkable and moreish, I would pick this over their Reine des Bois in 2017, which has a much riper (I would say overripe) fruit profile.

In a 2007 issue of the Wine Advocate, Parker said:\\n\\n\\\u0026quot;With 135 acres spread throughout some of the most impressive appellations of the southern Rhône, Christophe Delorme and his brother...have done nothing but produce one exquisite wine after another. Of course, the top cuvees of Châteauneuf-du-Pape are rare and expensive, but this is a place to find terrific Cotes du Rhones and Liracs as well. Delorme is equally adept at dry whites as well as reds, and turns out some stunning roses both under the Cotes du Rhône and Tavel appellations...\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nWith a total of 5 hectares of vines, many over 100 years old, Domaine de la Mordoree practices only self sustainable, organic farming of their vineyards in all their locations including Chateauneuf du Pape, Lirac, Tavel and the Cotes du Rhone. In 2013 Domaine de la Mordoree was certified 100% organic. The estate's Châteauneuf-du-Papes, Lirac Reds \u0026amp; Whites, and Tavel Rosés are among the most highly rated of the region.\\n\\nChristophe produced his first wines in 1987. Up until that time the estate had been little more than a hobby for his father, an industrialist with two great passions; shooting and wine.\\n\\nChristophe totally refurbished and modernised the winery as well as replanting much of the vineyards. Today the domaine has 40 hectares of vineyards - 7 hectares in Tavel, 15 hectares in Lirac (top-notch examples), 16 hectares for generic Côtes-du-Rhône and 3 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Following Christophe's untimely death in 2015, his wife and daughter, Madeleine and Ambre, have taken on the running of the domaine, ably assisted by Rémy Chauvet, who was the cellarmaster under Christophe. As Jeb Dunnuck has put it in the Wine Advocate, 'the estate is obviously still in incredibly capable hands'.\\n\\nChristophe’s legacy and his talent live on through his daughter Ambre, as well as a talented team at Domaine de la Mordoree that includes winemaker Rémy Chauvet, who worked as Christophe’s cellar manager.

At the time, the estate was much larger than it is today. In fact, the Left Bank estate was so large in those days, it was eventually divided into two parts. Half of the estate gave birth to Chateau Lynch Bages. The remaining portion became Chateau Lynch Moussas. Like Lynch-Bages, it was ranked as a fifth growth in the 1855 Bordeaux classification.\\n\\nIn 1919, Chateau Lynch Moussas was purchased by the Casteja family and its negociant arm, Borie Manoux, which owns numerous other Bordeaux estates in the Medoc and the Right Bank including Chateau Batailley and Chateau Trotte Vieille.

The stellar reputation of Pauillac wines is based not only on their quality but on their success in international fine wine markets. Three of the top five châteaux in the 1855 Médoc Classification (a ranking of Bordeaux's best wine-producing properties) are located here: Mouton Rothschild, Lafite Rothschild, and Château Latour.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious, and prolific wine regions.

Ancient documents state that its first occupants were Romans who set up a base for Caesar’s legions. Later, Joseph de La Pise, Lord of Maucoil and archivist of the House of Orange-Nassau, the Dutch royal family, inherited the estate and the castle which was built in 1624. From then on, winegrowing became an intrinsic part of the history of Château Maucoil.\\n\\nThe 45 hectares of vines in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation have been organic agriculture since 2011. Château Maucoil uses ancient methods such as furrowing, forming mounds and ploughing to tend the vineyard.\\n\\nOriginally from Bordeaux, the Lavau family who now own Château Maucoil, have been involved with winemaking for generations, and have had vineyards ranging from Bordeaux to Tunisia. In 1964 they were seduced by the richness and quality of the Provencal soil and settled down to make wine in the Rhone Valley.\\n\\nChâteauneuf-du-Pape is a historic village between the towns of Orange and Avignon, in France's southern Rhône Valley.

He sources grapes from not only his own vineyards but also from long-standing grower contracts including a few sourced from some of the oldest living, still productive vines on plots that date back to the mid-19th century and are pre-phylloxera. His ‘Old Garden’ Mourvèdre is a single-vineyard wine, whose vines were planted in 1853 in Barossa Valley and are reputed to be the oldest Mourvèdre vines in the world.

Its three trump cards are diversity, quality and quantity. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 per cent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\\n\\nA Bordeaux Blend is any combination of those grape varieties typically used to make the red wines of Bordeaux.

Though a Grand Cru Classé and world-renowned wine, the family owned estate is dedicated to premium wine-making and world class organic practices. The location of the estate at the heart of the Margaux appellation offers a climate that is heavily influenced by both the Gironde estuary and Bay of Biscay, as well as the sheltering effects of the coastal pine forests that protect the vines from the westerly and northwesterly winds.\\n\\nMargaux is an important appellation in the Haut-Médoc district of Bordeaux, southwestern France.

In a 2007 issue of the Wine Advocate, Parker said:\\n\\n\\\u0026quot;With 135 acres spread throughout some of the most impressive appellations of the southern Rhône, Christophe Delorme and his brother...have done nothing but produce one exquisite wine after another. Of course, the top cuvees of Châteauneuf-du-Pape are rare and expensive, but this is a place to find terrific Cotes du Rhones and Liracs as well. Delorme is equally adept at dry whites as well as reds, and turns out some stunning roses both under the Cotes du Rhône and Tavel appellations...\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nWith a total of 5 hectares of vines, many over 100 years old, Domaine de la Mordoree practices only self sustainable, organic farming of their vineyards in all their locations including Chateauneuf du Pape, Lirac, Tavel and the Cotes du Rhone. In 2013 Domaine de la Mordoree was certified 100% organic. The estate's Châteauneuf-du-Papes, Lirac Reds \u0026amp; Whites, and Tavel Rosés are among the most highly rated of the region.\\n\\nChristophe produced his first wines in 1987. Up until that time the estate had been little more than a hobby for his father, an industrialist with two great passions; shooting and wine.\\n\\nChristophe totally refurbished and modernised the winery as well as replanting much of the vineyards. Today the domaine has 40 hectares of vineyards - 7 hectares in Tavel, 15 hectares in Lirac (top-notch examples), 16 hectares for generic Côtes-du-Rhône and 3 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Following Christophe's untimely death in 2015, his wife and daughter, Madeleine and Ambre, have taken on the running of the domaine, ably assisted by Rémy Chauvet, who was the cellarmaster under Christophe. As Jeb Dunnuck has put it in the Wine Advocate, 'the estate is obviously still in incredibly capable hands'.\\n\\nChristophe’s legacy and his talent live on through his daughter Ambre, as well as a talented team at Domaine de la Mordoree that includes winemaker Rémy Chauvet, who worked as Christophe’s cellar manager. Jeb Dunnuck praised the estate for the quality of their first vintage without Christophe, saying the Domaine was “obviously still in incredibly capable hands.”\\n\\nChâteauneuf-du-Pape is a historic village between the towns of Orange and Avignon, in France's southern Rhône Valley. It is famous for powerful, full-bodied red wines made predominantly from the classic southern Rhône grape trio: Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. These three varieties are behind the vast majority of the appellation's red wines, although a total of eighteen are approved for use – a mix of red and white grape varieties.\\n\\n\\n1 x Chateau Lynch-Moussas, Pauillac 2016 - Bordeaux , France\\n\\n94\/100 Wine Advocate\\n93\/100 Falstaff Magazin\\n93\/100 James Suckling\\n92\/100 Decanter\\n92\/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider\\n92+\/100 Neal Martin, vinous.com\\n91\/100 Jeb Dunnuck\\n91\/100 Wine Spectator\\n\\n92\/100 Highly Recommended Silver - Decanter World Wine Awards\\nDecanter Wines of the Year 2021\\n\\nJeb Dunnuck “A fine Pauillac and has a pretty, classic, elegant style that’s very much in the character of the vintage.

At the time, the estate was much larger than it is today. In fact, the Left Bank estate was so large in those days, it was eventually divided into two parts. Half of the estate gave birth to Chateau Lynch Bages. The remaining portion became Chateau Lynch Moussas. Like Lynch-Bages, it was ranked as a fifth growth in the 1855 Bordeaux classification.\\n\\nIn 1919, Chateau Lynch Moussas was purchased by the Casteja family and its negociant arm, Borie Manoux, which owns numerous other Bordeaux estates in the Medoc and the Right Bank including Chateau Batailley and Chateau Trotte Vieille. At the time of the purchase, they also owned Chateau Duhart-Milon.\\n\\nPauillac is a wine-growing region located between Saint-Estèphe and Saint-Julien on Bordeaux's Médoc peninsula (“Left Bank”), is home to some of the world's most famous and expensive red wines, made predominantly from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety, which is well suited to the free-draining gravel soils found in Pauillac's vineyards. The stellar reputation of Pauillac wines is based not only on their quality but on their success in international fine wine markets. Three of the top five châteaux in the 1855 Médoc Classification (a ranking of Bordeaux's best wine-producing properties) are located here: Mouton Rothschild, Lafite Rothschild, and Château Latour.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious, and prolific wine regions. Its three trump cards are diversity, quality, and quantity. 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. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\\n\\nA Bordeaux Blend is any combination of those grape varieties typically used to make the red wines of Bordeaux. Cabernet Sauvignon is widely accepted as a compulsory component of any Bordeaux Blend along with Merlot. In fact, the majority of Bordeaux Blend wines are often made exclusively from a blend of these two varieties. The remaining components are Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec.\\n\\n1 x Château Maucoil Châteauneuf-du-Pape Trésor White 2014 - Rhône Valley, France\\n\\n90\/100 Wine Spectator\\n90\/100 Wine Enthusiast\\n90\/100 Robert Parker\\n\\n30% Grenache Blanc, 30% Clairette, 30% Bourboulenc and 10% Roussanne\\n\\nJeb Dunnuck \\\u0026quot;More tropical in character with plenty of pineapple, peach and subtle brioche, the 2014 Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc Tresor des Papes is medium-bodied, beautifully textured, and lengthy with a dry finish. This shows a touch more class and purity than the traditional cuvée and should have a longer drink window as well.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe history of Château Maucoil began several centuries ago. Ancient documents state that its first occupants were Romans who set up a base for Caesar’s legions. Later, Joseph de La Pise, Lord of Maucoil and archivist of the House of Orange-Nassau, the Dutch royal family, inherited the estate and the castle which was built in 1624. From then on, winegrowing became an intrinsic part of the history of Château Maucoil.\\n\\nThe 45 hectares of vines in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation have been organic agriculture since 2011. Château Maucoil uses ancient methods such as furrowing, forming mounds and ploughing to tend the vineyard.\\n\\nOriginally from Bordeaux, the Lavau family who now own Château Maucoil, have been involved with winemaking for generations, and have had vineyards ranging from Bordeaux to Tunisia. In 1964 they were seduced by the richness and quality of the Provencal soil and settled down to make wine in the Rhone Valley.\\n\\nChâteauneuf-du-Pape is a historic village between the towns of Orange and Avignon, in France's southern Rhône Valley. It is famous for powerful, full-bodied red wines made predominantly from the classic southern Rhône grape trio: Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. These three varieties are behind the vast majority of the appellation's red wines, although a total of eighteen are approved for use – a mix of red and white grape varieties.\\n\\nSouthern Rhone White Blend is a blanket term used to describe the various combinations of white wine grapes used in the southern half of the Rhone Valley. The principal varieties involved in a white wine from the southern Rhone are any combination of Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne, Viognier, Ugni Blanc, Clairette, Bourboulenc and Picpoul.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":13187,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16776960},\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":8}'\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x Sergio Zingarelli Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2019 - Tuscany, Italy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98\/100 Luca Maroni \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 Daniele Cernilli-Guida Essenziale\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Wine Enthusiast \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Raffaele Vecchione, Wine Critic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Falstaff Wein Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Wine Spectator \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 Daniele Cernilli-Guida Essenziale \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95+\/100 Luca Maroni \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Wine Enthusiast \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Wine Spectator \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 5 Stars Wine, The Book, Vinitaly \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Falstaff Wein Guide \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Raffaele Vecchione, Wine Critic \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Decanter \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 The Wine Independent \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e17.5\/20 Vinum Wine Magazine \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorona - Vini Buoni d'Italia\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5 Grappoli - Bibenda\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3 Biccheri - Gambero Rosso\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3 Stelle Oro - Veronelli \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOro - Civiltà del Bere – WOW \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinalista 2 bicchieri rossi - Gambero Rosso \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5 Grappoli - Bibenda \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold - Decanter World Wine Awards \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold - London Wine Competition \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - Korea Wine Challenge \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold - Decanter World Wine Awards \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Extremely perfumed, with blackberry, lavender and rose-petal aromas and flavors.

Accordingly, two separate DOCG designations apply to wines from the Chianti region: the Chianti Classico DOCG for the heartland of Chianti, and Chianti DOCG for all other Chianti regions. (In 1984, the Chianti region was promoted from DOC to DOCG - Italy’s highest classification - and in 1996, Chianti Classico - the historic heartland of the region - DOCG was created, which gave autonomy to that region. In the last 20 years, a consortium of Chianti Classico producers have researched new Sangiovese clones, replanted vineyards, updated cellar practices and generally made Chianti Classico DOCG a world-class appellation. Chianti Classico must contain a minimum of 75% Sangiovese. In the 2014 edition of its annual compendium of wine ratings, Gambero Rosso noted that Chianti Classico DOCG wines were noteworthy for their “significant return to a more defined style, true to tradition.” The typical Chianti Classico wine is a ruby-red, Sangiovese-based wine with aromas of violets and cherries and a hint of earthy spice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chianti DOCG designation covers wines from six Chianti sub-zones (Colli Pisane, Colli Fiorentini, Colli Senesi, Colli Aretini, Montalbano and Rufina) as well as all other Chianti wines. The Chianti Classico DOCG is located in the very center of Tuscany, between Florence and Sienna.\"\u003cbr\u003e\"Tuscany is Italy's third most planted region (behind Sicily and Apulia) but it is eighth in terms of output, reflecting both the poor soil of Tuscany and deliberate efforts to limit yields and increase the quality in the wine. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSangiovese (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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCabernet 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. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.Rocca delle Macìe was established in 1973, when film producer Italo Zingarelli – of Ettore Scola’s “We All Loved Each Other So Much” fame, and also the wildly popular series of films featuring comedy duo Bud Spencer and Terence Hill (including “They Call Me Trinity” and “Trinity Is Still My Name”) – decided to realize his lifelong dream by acquiring the “Le Macìe” estate – extending across 93 hectares (230 acres) in all, of which only two were under vine – in order to create a winery in the heart of the Chianti Classico zone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;1 x Clos du Marquis', Saint-Julien 2008 - Bordeaux , France\\n\\n92\/100 James Suckling\\n92\/100 Falstaff Magazine\\n91\/100 Wine Enthusiast\\n91\/100 Jeannie Cho Lee\\n90\/100 Vinous Antonio Galloni\\n90\/100 Neal Martin\\n90\/100 Wine Spectator\\n90\/100 Robert Parker\\n90\/100 Stephen Tanzer\\n90\/100 CellarTracker\\n90\/100 Jeff Leve\\n16.5\/20 Vinum Wine Magazine\\n16.5\/20 La Revue du Vin de France\\n16\/20 Gault \u0026amp; Millau\\n15.5\/20 Jancis Robinson\\n\\n2 Stars - Le Guide Hachette des Vins\\n\\nRobert Parker \\\u0026quot;For many years, Las Cases' second wine has been the equivalent of a classified growth in the Medoc.

They are now farming their vineyards entirely organically achieving organic certification in 2017. Sitting on the doorstep of Margaux, Château Marquis de Terme is emblematic of both how many Bordeaux châteaux were once created and of the famous Margaux terroir. Though a Grand Cru Classé and world-renowned wine, the family owned estate is dedicated to premium wine-making and world class organic practices. The location of the estate at the heart of the Margaux appellation offers a climate that is heavily influenced by both the Gironde estuary and Bay of Biscay, as well as the sheltering effects of the coastal pine forests that protect the vines from the westerly and northwesterly winds.\\n\\nMargaux is an important appellation in the Haut-Médoc district of Bordeaux, southwestern France. The appellation is famous for producing supple, perfumed wines, predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon. The Margaux appellation contains 21 cru classé properties from the 1855 Bordeaux Classification (20 of which still exist), more than any other Left Bank appellation.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions.

In a 2007 issue of the Wine Advocate, Parker said:\\n\\n\\\u0026quot;With 135 acres spread throughout some of the most impressive appellations of the southern Rhône, Christophe Delorme and his brother...have done nothing but produce one exquisite wine after another. Of course, the top cuvees of Châteauneuf-du-Pape are rare and expensive, but this is a place to find terrific Cotes du Rhones and Liracs as well. Delorme is equally adept at dry whites as well as reds, and turns out some stunning roses both under the Cotes du Rhône and Tavel appellations...\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nWith a total of 5 hectares of vines, many over 100 years old, Domaine de la Mordoree practices only self sustainable, organic farming of their vineyards in all their locations including Chateauneuf du Pape, Lirac, Tavel and the Cotes du Rhone. In 2013 Domaine de la Mordoree was certified 100% organic. The estate's Châteauneuf-du-Papes, Lirac Reds \u0026amp; Whites, and Tavel Rosés are among the most highly rated of the region.\\n\\nChristophe produced his first wines in 1987. Up until that time the estate had been little more than a hobby for his father, an industrialist with two great passions; shooting and wine.\\n\\nChristophe totally refurbished and modernised the winery as well as replanting much of the vineyards. Today the domaine has 40 hectares of vineyards - 7 hectares in Tavel, 15 hectares in Lirac (top-notch examples), 16 hectares for generic Côtes-du-Rhône and 3 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Following Christophe's untimely death in 2015, his wife and daughter, Madeleine and Ambre, have taken on the running of the domaine, ably assisted by Rémy Chauvet, who was the cellarmaster under Christophe. As Jeb Dunnuck has put it in the Wine Advocate, 'the estate is obviously still in incredibly capable hands'.\\n\\nChristophe’s legacy and his talent live on through his daughter Ambre, as well as a talented team at Domaine de la Mordoree that includes winemaker Rémy Chauvet, who worked as Christophe’s cellar manager.

At the time, the estate was much larger than it is today. In fact, the Left Bank estate was so large in those days, it was eventually divided into two parts. Half of the estate gave birth to Chateau Lynch Bages. The remaining portion became Chateau Lynch Moussas. Like Lynch-Bages, it was ranked as a fifth growth in the 1855 Bordeaux classification.\\n\\nIn 1919, Chateau Lynch Moussas was purchased by the Casteja family and its negociant arm, Borie Manoux, which owns numerous other Bordeaux estates in the Medoc and the Right Bank including Chateau Batailley and Chateau Trotte Vieille.

The stellar reputation of Pauillac wines is based not only on their quality but on their success in international fine wine markets. Three of the top five châteaux in the 1855 Médoc Classification (a ranking of Bordeaux's best wine-producing properties) are located here: Mouton Rothschild, Lafite Rothschild, and Château Latour.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious, and prolific wine regions.

Ancient documents state that its first occupants were Romans who set up a base for Caesar’s legions. Later, Joseph de La Pise, Lord of Maucoil and archivist of the House of Orange-Nassau, the Dutch royal family, inherited the estate and the castle which was built in 1624. From then on, winegrowing became an intrinsic part of the history of Château Maucoil.\\n\\nThe 45 hectares of vines in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation have been organic agriculture since 2011. Château Maucoil uses ancient methods such as furrowing, forming mounds and ploughing to tend the vineyard.\\n\\nOriginally from Bordeaux, the Lavau family who now own Château Maucoil, have been involved with winemaking for generations, and have had vineyards ranging from Bordeaux to Tunisia. In 1964 they were seduced by the richness and quality of the Provencal soil and settled down to make wine in the Rhone Valley.\\n\\nChâteauneuf-du-Pape is a historic village between the towns of Orange and Avignon, in France's southern Rhône Valley.

American President Thomas Jefferson - himself a wine connoisseur, visited Bordeaux in 1787 - declaring Château Marquis de Terme as one of the 16 best Bordeaux wines he tasted.\\n\\nChateau Marquis de Terme began organic farming on a small parcel of vines with their first organic wine being the 2013 vintage. They are now farming their vineyards entirely organically achieving organic certification in 2017. Sitting on the doorstep of Margaux, Château Marquis de Terme is emblematic of both how many Bordeaux châteaux were once created and of the famous Margaux terroir. Though a Grand Cru Classé and world-renowned wine, the family owned estate is dedicated to premium wine-making and world class organic practices. The location of the estate at the heart of the Margaux appellation offers a climate that is heavily influenced by both the Gironde estuary and Bay of Biscay, as well as the sheltering effects of the coastal pine forests that protect the vines from the westerly and northwesterly winds.\\n\\nMargaux is an important appellation in the Haut-Médoc district of Bordeaux, southwestern France. The appellation is famous for producing supple, perfumed wines, predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon. The Margaux appellation contains 21 cru classé properties from the 1855 Bordeaux Classification (20 of which still exist), more than any other Left Bank appellation.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions. Its three trump cards are diversity, quality and quantity. 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. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\\n\\nA Bordeaux Blend is any combination of those grape varieties typically used to make the red wines of Bordeaux. Cabernet Sauvignon is widely accepted as a compulsory component of any Bordeaux Blend along with Merlot. In fact, the majority of Bordeaux Blend wines are often made exclusively from a blend of these two varieties. The remaining components are Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec.\\n\\n1 x Domaine de la Mordoree Chateauneuf-du-Pape La Dame Voyageuse (Organic) 2018 -  Rhone, France\\n\\n94-95\/100 VertdeVin\\n92\/100 Decanter\\n92\/100 Wine Spectator\\n90\/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider\\n90\/100 Robert Parker\\n16.5\/20 Jancis Robinson\\n93\/100 Wine Spectator (2019 Vintage)\\n16.5\/20 Jancis Robinson (2019 Vintage)\\n95\/100 Wine Enthusiast (2017 Vintage)\\n93\/100 James Suckling (2017 Vintage)\\n91\/100 Andreas Larsson - Tasted (2017 Vintage)\\n91\/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider (2017 Vintage)\\n90\/100 Decanter World Wine Awards (2017 Vintage)\\n96\/100 Wine Enthusiast (2016 Vintage)\\n95\/100 International Wine Report (2016 Vintage)\\n93\/100 Wine Spectator (2016 Vintage)\\n94\/100 Falstaff (2015 Vintage)\\n93\/100 Wine Enthusiast (2015)\\n92\/100 Wine Spectator (2014)\\n\\n2 Stars - Le Guide Hachette des Vins (2015 Vintage)\\n1 Star - Le Guide Hachette des Vins (2014 Vintage)\\n\\nVertdeVin \\\u0026quot;The nose is aromatic and offers intensity (in finesse), deepness, a fine concentration, an aromatic purity as well as precision and a beautiful bright fruit.

In a 2007 issue of the Wine Advocate, Parker said:\\n\\n\\\u0026quot;With 135 acres spread throughout some of the most impressive appellations of the southern Rhône, Christophe Delorme and his brother...have done nothing but produce one exquisite wine after another. Of course, the top cuvees of Châteauneuf-du-Pape are rare and expensive, but this is a place to find terrific Cotes du Rhones and Liracs as well. Delorme is equally adept at dry whites as well as reds, and turns out some stunning roses both under the Cotes du Rhône and Tavel appellations...\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nWith a total of 5 hectares of vines, many over 100 years old, Domaine de la Mordoree practices only self sustainable, organic farming of their vineyards in all their locations including Chateauneuf du Pape, Lirac, Tavel and the Cotes du Rhone. In 2013 Domaine de la Mordoree was certified 100% organic. The estate's Châteauneuf-du-Papes, Lirac Reds \u0026amp; Whites, and Tavel Rosés are among the most highly rated of the region.\\n\\nChristophe produced his first wines in 1987. Up until that time the estate had been little more than a hobby for his father, an industrialist with two great passions; shooting and wine.\\n\\nChristophe totally refurbished and modernised the winery as well as replanting much of the vineyards. Today the domaine has 40 hectares of vineyards - 7 hectares in Tavel, 15 hectares in Lirac (top-notch examples), 16 hectares for generic Côtes-du-Rhône and 3 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Following Christophe's untimely death in 2015, his wife and daughter, Madeleine and Ambre, have taken on the running of the domaine, ably assisted by Rémy Chauvet, who was the cellarmaster under Christophe. As Jeb Dunnuck has put it in the Wine Advocate, 'the estate is obviously still in incredibly capable hands'.\\n\\nChristophe’s legacy and his talent live on through his daughter Ambre, as well as a talented team at Domaine de la Mordoree that includes winemaker Rémy Chauvet, who worked as Christophe’s cellar manager. Jeb Dunnuck praised the estate for the quality of their first vintage without Christophe, saying the Domaine was “obviously still in incredibly capable hands.”\\n\\nChâteauneuf-du-Pape is a historic village between the towns of Orange and Avignon, in France's southern Rhône Valley.

At the time, the estate was much larger than it is today. In fact, the Left Bank estate was so large in those days, it was eventually divided into two parts. Half of the estate gave birth to Chateau Lynch Bages. The remaining portion became Chateau Lynch Moussas. Like Lynch-Bages, it was ranked as a fifth growth in the 1855 Bordeaux classification.\\n\\nIn 1919, Chateau Lynch Moussas was purchased by the Casteja family and its negociant arm, Borie Manoux, which owns numerous other Bordeaux estates in the Medoc and the Right Bank including Chateau Batailley and Chateau Trotte Vieille.

The stellar reputation of Pauillac wines is based not only on their quality but on their success in international fine wine markets.

Later, Joseph de La Pise, Lord of Maucoil and archivist of the House of Orange-Nassau, the Dutch royal family, inherited the estate and the castle which was built in 1624. From then on, winegrowing became an intrinsic part of the history of Château Maucoil.\\n\\nThe 45 hectares of vines in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation have been organic agriculture since 2011. Château Maucoil uses ancient methods such as furrowing, forming mounds and ploughing to tend the vineyard.\\n\\nOriginally from Bordeaux, the Lavau family who now own Château Maucoil, have been involved with winemaking for generations, and have had vineyards ranging from Bordeaux to Tunisia.

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":"domaine-duseigneur-odyssee-villages-2021-france","title":"Domaine Duseigneur Odyssée Villages 2021 - France","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\" data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;90\/100 CellarTracker (2019 vintage)\\n90\/100 Jeb Dunnuck (2018 vintage)  \\n90\/100 Wine Spectator (2011 vintage) \\nBronze - CellarTracker (2011 vintage) \\n\\n2 Stars - Bettane \u0026amp; Desseauve (2019 vintage) \\n\\nOrganic\\n\\nJeb Dunnuck \\\u0026quot;... its medium ruby\/purple color is followed by elegant notes of black raspberries, spring flowers, pepper and spice.
