James Suckling ""A fruity, polished red with creamy tannins and softness and attractiveness that makes you want to drink it. It’s medium-to full-bodied with round tannins and a delicious finish. Drink now.""

Wine Enthusiast ""Notes of anisette, black raspberry and leather saddle introduce this spicy, savory blend of Grenache and Syrah. It's fresh in fruit but rounded and supple on the palate, with a warming finish edged by fine, feathery tannins. At peak now–2024.""

The Winemaker ""The delicately oaky nose offers up aromas of sweet spices which subtly mingle with notes of blackberry and blackcurrant. On the palate, there is a concentration of aromas underpinned by pronounced, yet lovely smooth, tannins."" (2016 vintage)

Wine Enthusiast ""Pristine blackberry and blueberry flavors are rich and mouthfilling in this ripe yet freshly composed wine. It's straightforward and fruity but hints of bramble and earth lend nuance. The moderately long finish is framed by fine, delicate tannins."" (2015 vintage)

Beacon Wine ""This is an old-world style medium-bodied wine with good fruit balanced by more peppery spice. It has a lightly oaked influence that allows the fruit to shine through. The fine grained tannins are engaging and keep you coming back for another sip."" (2015 vintage)

The Guide Hachette des Vins (referenced in the above) is France's best-selling, and one of France's oldest wine guides. Considered France's most authoritative wine guide and commonly referred to as the bible of the French wine industry. This wine has received consistent star ratings for multiple vintages from this prestigious authority.

Grenache noir (50%) Syrah (50%)

This wine comes from parcels selected from the finest terroirs of the southern Rhône Valley Region, extending from Montélimar to Nîmes. The Grenache and Syrah vines are planted on clay-limestone plains which are particularly well exposed and are managed to obtain a yield of around 40 hl/ha.

The grapes are entirely de-stemmed and placed in temperature-controlled vats to macerate for around 18 days during which time only pumping-over operations are carried out. 50% of the wine is aged in vat, and 50% in 450L barrels previously used for 1 or 2 vintages, for a period of 12 months, before being blended with the vat-aged wine.

Originally from Bordeaux, the Lavau family has 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.

The cellars of Lavau are currently managed by Benoit and Frederic Lavau, who work in partnership with 350 different grape growers. Benoit is a frequent visitor to Singapore and Pop Up Wine events.

1 x Les Centenaires Costières Blanc La Bergerie de Nimes 2019 - Southern Rhône, France

Jeb Dunnuck 91/100 (2017 vintage)

Jeb Dunnuck “The 2017 Costieres De Nimes Blanc has a great bouquet of ripe orchard fruits, white flowers, fresh pineapple, appleblossom and hints of almonds. Its deep, rich, medium to full bodied, and beautifully textured on the palate, and has real class … seriously impressive southern Rhone white” (2017 vintage)

The Winemaker “A floral nose with pear notes. On the palate, a very nice balance between minerality and roundness with a fresh finish.” (2018 Vintage)

Clos des Centenaires was founded of Luc Baudet of Chateau Mas-Neuf fame, and Californian wine industry veteran, Jack Edwards who both share a passion for artisan wines and the terroir of France’s Southern Rhone.

The vineyard soils are cultivated amongst natural grassland using shallow tillage methods and special attention is paid to the revitalization of vines (using annually prepared biodynamic compost). Inputs are limited to organically approved natural products.

Marsanne 40%, Roussanne 30%, Vermetina 20%, Viogner 10%

Costieres de Nimes is the most southerly appellation of the Rhone wine region in southeastern France. The wines of the area are reputed to have been consumed by the Ancient Greeks and thus figure among the oldest known wines in the world. The Costieres de Nimes AOC covers an area between the towns of Nimes and Arles.

The Rhone Valley is one of France's key wine regions, and is divided neatly by a gap of about 25 miles (40km). Wines from the northern part of the valley tend to be Syrah-dominant (Hermitage and Cote Rotie being the most notable examples), while wines from the southern Rhone are more commonly blends, with Grenache playing a more dominant role. Chateauneuf-du-Pape is the most famous example of a southern Rhone blend, but similar blends are found in wines from Gigondas, Vacqueyras and the regional Cotes du Rhone title.

Roussanne is a white-wine grape named after its skin color (when ripe), a reddish-gold pigment that equates to the French word roux (meaning ""russet"", or reddish-brown). The variety is thought to have originated in the northern Rhone Valley, where the majority of modern-day plantings are found.

1 x Livazur Rosé 2022 - Cote d'Azur, South of France

Bronze - James Suckling

90/100 James Suckling (2021 vintage)

James Suckling ""Notes of candied strawberries and cherries with pomegranate skins and caramel. Medium-bodied with a polished, chalky texture and crisp acidity.""

James Suckling ""Wake up Miraval fans! The super-fresh aromas of red berries, rose petals and orange zest pull you into this very well-made rosé. Crisp and very lively with lightness of touch and vibrant citrus fruit at the finish."" (2021 vintage)

Winemaker ""Fresh and fruity scent of garden berries, red citrus and a herbal floral. The taste has a wonderfully balanced acidity with berry fruit and a touch of English confectionery and red grapefruit.""

50% Grenache, 40% Syrah, 10% Cinsault
Alcohol: 12.5%

LivAzur Rosé is a celebration of life along the Côte d'Azur and its famous pale rosé wines. The grapes come from selected locations in the Bouches-du-Rhône department that links the southern Rhône with Provence. After harvesting, the grapes are cooled down before being lightly pressed and then cold-fermented in refrigerated tanks. The wine is then allowed to mature for a few months in steel tanks before bottling.
