Denominazione di Origine Controllata (controlled designation of origin)
From the vineyards surrounding the Val di Suga winery, on the northern slope of Montalcino.
It is one of the three historic areas of Montalcino, with clayey soils where Sangiovese rises up in elegance and finesse.

The brightness of the ruby-red colour typical of the Sangiovese in these areas is clearly visible.
It is lively on the nose, expressing the freshness of small red fruits such as cherries and redcurrants, followed by sweet and spicy notes.
It unfolds on the palate, full and plush, enhancing the taste of ripe red fruits.
Elegant tannins, remarkable persistence.

Intense ruby red colour with garnet highlights. Clean, sophisticated, intense and complex AROMAS, rich in evolved overtones, with hints of anise, ripe wild berries and a light touch of vanilla. Warm with supple tannins, great structure, good length and considerable aging capacity

Brunello is the prince of Montalcino wines, produced exclusively from Sangiovese grapes picked by hand from the oldest vines in the farm.
After a careful fermentation at controlled temperature, Tenuta Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino is aged for three years in French oak barrels.
After being aged in wood, the wine is bottle aged: this is an essential process in guaranteeing the pleasantness and the complexity that have made the Brunello di Montalcino world-famous.

The colour hits us first, a vibrant rose gold colour that gives away the skin contact factor of our 2017 Pinot Gris. Pinot Gris is a variety that can have both white and red grapes in a bunch, giving our wine some skin contact makes the brilliant colour. Fortunately, this also helps with aromas and delivers lifted honeysuckle, dew drop melons and a light vanilla marshmallow, like a summer stone fruit cocktail from the pool bar in most Fiji resorts. Delicate ripe peach flavours and a hint of Nashi develop on the palate and the zingy spice like Auntie May’s sweet fruit cobbler adds a mouthfeel and weight to balance it all out leaving your mouth just salivating enough to want more.

This property was fitted in late 2016 with a new ultra-modern vat facility - at Château Capet-Guillie -
enabling the vineyard to be worked in small parcels, a luxury asset that enhances precision production of 12
hectares.
Tour de Capet has its own vineyard, its specific identity and personality. We produce a wine of great finesse
that owes its character to a well balanced structure based on Merlot's roundness of character.

Château D'Hanteillan is an historical domain in Haut-Médoc, mentioned as early as the 12th century in a
bull of Pope Alexander III where it figures among the assets of the Abbey of Vertheuil. The property came
under the ownership of many "Cru Bourgeois" families before being owned in 1972 by the Mathieu-Blasco
family, contractors originally from the Limousin region, breeders, captains of industry and lovers of wine.
Labelled "cru bourgeois supérieur" in 2003, it has been managed since 2010 by Madame Catherine Blasco
with the support of her team. Located in the commune of Cissac, belonging to theHaut-Médoc appellation,
adjacent to Saint-Estèphe and Pauillac, Château D'Hanteillan has its vineyard set on a lovely gravelly hilltop
neighbouring several prestigious classified Grands Crus.


Un explosion of forest fruits (blackberries and bilberries) on the palate predominates tasting when young. A
wine of great richness heightened by flavouring tannins and magnified by an aromatic complexity revealing
spiced nuances of clove and vanilla. Smoky and flowery notes (dried rose petals) are revealed several years
after being bottled.
Ideal for red meats, cheese platters, terrines and scrambled eggs with truffle.

Created in 1880, the 'Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes' is an iconic wine from the Châteauneuf du Pape appellation. The story began when Edouard Amouroux obtained the famous plot of Syrah vines, through his marriage, located at the place known as Tresquoy. The property owes its name to the oratory dedicated to St Mark which stands on the edge of the plot. This terroir's great quality helped this wine to quickly become a leading product of the appellation.

Complete de-stemming, partial crushing depending on the grape, the plots and the level of maturity. Part of the Syrah and Cinsault is cold pre-fermented at 8°C for 4 days. The other grapes are put into vats and fermentation takes place between 22 and 24°C in order to achieve a slower fermentation, encouraging varietal and aromatic extraction over tannic extraction. Post-fermentation maceration was carried out at between 26 and 28°C in 2014. Extraction is carried out by gentle pump-overs and
release to ensure extraction of the finest tannins.

Vineyard of the northern Rhône valley, in the commune of Ampuis, between Lyon and Valence. One of the oldest vineyards in the

Sheltered and quiet, Lirac grows off the beaten track or "caminé" as they say in Provençal. This cru dating back to the Middle Ages discreetly creates high quality wines grown on red terraces of rounded pebbles.

The vineyards for Burg Ravensburg wines are situated in the gypsum-copper rich soils around the historic Burg Ravensburg Castle. These are some of the oldest vine-growing sites in Germany and are unique for their geological formation as well as for their topographical location. As a result, the wines produced demonstrate great minerality and balance.

Pairs well with steaks and roasts.

Berg Rottland is a steep site with a slope of 33%. It is situated on the western edge of town, near the Rhine shoals known as the "Binger Loch". The name is related to the German verb "reuten/rotten/roden" meaning to clear land for cultivation. In this case, it probably refers to the fallow land (that needed to be cleared) that was given to wine-growers in Rüdesheim and neighboring Eibingen by the archbishop of Mainz between 1031 and 1051. The soils are quite stony, and vary within the site: slate, quartzite and gravel, partially covered with loess. Thanks to the optimal microclimate with its high degree of sunlight and solar radiation, grapes ripen very well in the Berg Rottland site.

Weingut Balthasar Ress has had holdings in Rüdesheim's finest classified sites for decades. Only the sites Berg Schlossberg and Berg Rottland are named on the labels of our »Grosse Lage« wines. Wines from our other classified sites - Klosterlay, Bischofsberg, and Roseneck - are the components for this village cuvée. It is a great introduction to the fascinating world of the mineral-rich wines of Rüdesheim, an appellation appreciated the world over.

On the crest of the hill, the territory of Castagnole Lanze, stands the San Mauro wine farm.
Is the wine farm of Mauro Bianco and family that boasts a whole, between the areas of Asti and Alba district, a property of 70 hectares, of which 40 are vineyards and 30 with grass, trees and wood.

Our vineyards, cultivated mainly by the Guyot system, produce wines with Denomination of Controlled Origin and Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin.
Ours is an old family passion. From Mom Clara, Mauro took the pleasure of wine with the defense of the authenticity at all costs, from dad Ettore, took the love for the land, for the ancient agriculture, its traditions, its values. Tradition and challenge, is the motto of the family.

Guigal is synonymous with the Côte-Rôtie area, for bringing this great wine region to prominence, and for owning three times as much land as next largest land-owner, vinifiying 1/3 of the total appellation, and unquestionably holding the finest sites in this tiny, special area. The incredible Syrah from Côte Rôtie, co-fermented with a touch of Viognier, has tremendously balanced concentration, depth and finesse.

Côte-Rôtie is situated in the northernmost region of the Rhône Valley. The Syrah (96%) vine is planted on steep terraced hillsides that catch and focus the sun’s heat, giving the region its reputation and name: "roasted slope." A small percentage of Viognier (4%) is interplanted with the Syrah, and the two are harvested and fermented together, giving the wine an exotic perfume, elegance and lift.

The Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde de Guigal refers to the fact that grapes from the two areas of Côte-Rôtie are used, from the Côte Brune and the Côte Blonde. The historical legend is that long ago a lord deeded the Côte Brune to his dark-haired daughter and the Côte Blonde to his blond daughter. The soils of the Côte Brune are indeed darker, containing more iron and some clay, and the paler Côte Blonde soils have more sand and limestone, and are the home of more Viognier plantings.

Guigal’s Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde is a wine of finesse and complexity that ages beautifully, developing aromas and flavors of black pepper, spice, licorice, and game. It is a truly great expression of Cote-Rotie.

Fixin (pronounced "Fissin") is located in the Côte de Nuits area, between Dijon and Gevrey-Chambertin.
The "Manoir de la Perrière" was built in the 12th century by the Monks of Cîteaux, who have been the first to detect the potential of this 5-hectare (12 acres) clos.
There is no Grand Cru in Fixin, yet, thanks to its exceptional climate and its ideal exposure, it has already been compared to its neighbour, the Chambertin! Indeed, it has a south-east exposure, at an altitude of 350 to 380 meters, and its calcareous soil is homogenous.

The nose features notes of black cherry and wild strawberries. Ample and very fine, it offers silky tannins. Its mineral hints remind the characteristics of the soil it comes from.
The natural maturity of the fruit is balanced by the freshness of this terroir of altitude. On the palate, the aromas are complex, with fruit, liquorice and juniper berry.

Latricières-Chambertin is a satellite of Chambertin, located at the edge of the Morey-Saint-Denis appellation, between the famous Mont Luisant mountain and Chambertin. The soil here is composed of calcareous clay overlying marl atop thick limestone beds. The soil is lean and a thin layer of silica scree from the Grissard valley can be seen at the surface. "Tricière" means "poor soil", but despite this, the soil’s characteristics yield wines redolent of notes of wild fruit and subtle complex spices.

The nose is both delicate and intense, with fruity aromas of blackcurrant and raspberry with a floral touch of rose. The palate’s structure is imposing yet supple and silky. Perfect balance and a stunning finish.

Made with production principles which respect the surrounding nature, paying utmost attention to limiting the stress on the vine and on the terrain from which it grows "Campoluce" allows the harvest to develop in a totally spontaneous manner, respecting an ethical agriculture aimed at improving our eating habits - which has always been an important goal in Sensi Wines.

The nose reveals hints of smoke, followed by delicate scents of fern and acacia, moving on to aromas of ripe fruit with a hint of aniseed. The palate features pleasing roundness with citrus flavours, notes of vanilla and hazelnut, all of which are enhanced by beautiful minerality. Well balanced, structured and generous, this wine has a refreshing finish.

It is in 1589 that the name is mentioned for the first time in the „Vieux Papiers du Libournais“, which makes Domaine de l’Eglise the oldest estate on Pomerols famous plateau. Originally property of the church, it was a hospice for people with a disease that were thus kept out of the city of Libourne. The estate was secularised in the 18th century. Domaine de l’Eglise, as the name is indicating, lies next to Pomerols church, close to Château Petrus. The round, smooth and fruity Domaine de l’Eglise has been among the most popular ones from Pomerol for many years

One of the great appellations of the Côte de Nuits both in terms of size and of reputation, Gevrey-Chambertin is characterized by a wide variety of different terroirs. No white wines are found here, only Pinot Noir is cultivated. Our vines are planted on the slopes around the mouth of the Lavaux valley. This valley has a strong influence on the growth cycle of the vines, the ripening of the grapes and gives tremendous respectability and precision to the wine.

This appellation is located on the slopes to the west of Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits. The climate here can sometimes be rough, with cold, snowy winters and cooler summers. Consequently, the grapes tend to ripen slower. The resulting wines are marked by their freshness, fruitiness and vivacity. Our know-how allows us to carefully and subtly balance these characteristics for added roundness and fullness.

The "Les Charmes" Premier Cru is a first-class plot and easily rivals Burgundy’s great white Grand Crus. There are two types of "terroir" in Meursault. One is clay-based and produces opulent, generous wines. The other consists of finer soil, and is closer to the limestone bedrock. The latter gives a more mineral, airy and chiselled wine. Our plot, mostly located in the “Charmes Dessus” portion, is fortunate to overlie the two terroirs, and is therefore capable of producing particularly complex nectar.

Aromas of red fruit on the nose (black cherry and blackcurrant). Subtle hints of oak are complemented by notes of liquorice.

Prior to 1968, making non-vintage rosé champagne was virtually unthinkable. It was in the midst of a cultural revolution that the visionary Bernard de Nonancourt gave it its credentials. This daring wine combines real structure with freshness and a soft, vinous character. In its elegant bottle inspired by the times of French King Henri IV, Cuvée Rosé Laurent-Perrier soon made a name for itself worldwide.

A fine bead and an elegant colour. Cuvée Rosé Laurent-Perrier’s colour evolves gently from a pretty raspberry tint to a hint of salmon. In this colour range, the brightest is a pink with subtle shades of melon and raspberry. It owes it quaint name Cuisse de nymphe émue (hot pink, in English), to a rose bush. The bead is so fine that it seems to dance in the glass and then on the palate.

Subtle, forthright, and very fresh on the nose. Cuvée Rosé Laurent-Perrier suggests a basketful of small berry fruits: strawberries, raspberries, blackcurrants, blackberries, redcurrants, and morello and black cherries. The overwhelming sensation is one of freshness.

Fruit dominates the palate. Cuvée Rosé Laurent-Perrier is a lively, well-rounded wine which combines structure and freshness. The forthright, slightly sharp attack is like breathing the heady aromas of a freshly-picked basket of berry fruits – a symphony of aromas with a gently-rounded, tender finish.

Taittinger Brut Réserve is blend of Chardonnay (40%) and Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier (60%) wines from over 35 different vineyards and vintages matured to perfection.

the world over.

Taittinger considers it an honour to produce a Brut champagne every year without exception.

Brilliant golden yellow in colour. Bubbles are fine, while the foam is discreet yet lingering. The nose, very open and expressive, delivers aromas of fruit and brioche. It also gives off the fragrance of peach, white flowers (hawthorn, acacia) and vanilla pod. The entry onto the palate is lively, fresh and in total harmony. This is a delicate wine with flavours of fresh fruit and honey

Intense ruby red with garnet highlights, its rich, complex nose opens up immediately. Initially dark cherry, plum and violets, clean, fine and elegant. It then opens up to wider, more complex notes of blueberry, vanilla, tobacco, cinnamon, chocolate and leather with a menthol finish. In the mouth the elegance of a full, crisp body comes through immediately without warmer notes. Its cherry, plum and blueberry nuances are very long lasting.

It goes ideally well with game, roasts and grilled meat or medium mature cheeses.

A deep ruby and almost opaque in its concentration, the nose is ultra-complex, delivering inebriating draughts of wild blackberry, raspberry, redcurrant, dried plum and dates, delicately lifted by floral impressions of sweet rose and violets. Gradually emerging to deepen the rich bouquet even further are spicier nuances of vanilla, cocoa powder, tobacco leaf, and roasted espresso beans, which act as a delicious foil to pungent notes of balsam and herbs. A crisp, nervy acidity complements a suite of silky tannins, and both contribute to a palate that is notable for its warmth and roundness. A finely-balanced, leisurely progression culminates in a lengthy, subtly-aromatic finish.

A purple-rimmed ruby red, so intense as to be almost opaque. It possess intense aromas of wild cherry and blackberry, both fresh-picked and as preserves, in addition to roasted hazelnuts, espresso beans, chocolate, vanilla, and cocoa butter, with spicy impressions of clove.

Unquestionably a thoroughbred, though it is equally capable of taking the place at the table set aside for younger wines.

A deep red garnet. Nose of fruity and spicy sensations, with a hint of cinnamon, cloves, vanilla and tar. A warm, full, dry and complex palate, ending with a long and persistent finish.

Chardonnay made its first appearance on the hills of the Langhe during the late 1800’s, but most growers only began to take it into consideration about a hundred years later. This is when, in 1985, Piazzo too decided to plant some vines of this variety in San Rocco d’Elvio.

Their blending produces elegant wines which are perfectly at home on an elegant table in large crystal glasses, accompanying cheerful conversation among friends.

This pure Chardonnay has qualities of great value: a straw-yellow colour with greenish highlights; a full nose bursting with clear sensations of limoncello, mint, green apples and raspberries; and a lingering, dry taste, full of personality.

2006 - Luce Brunello appears ruby red with garnet highlights. Fragrances of wild berry fruit, such as blueberry and red currant, predominate on the nose; crisp notes of citrus follow, succeeded in turn by spicier impressions of forest underbrush, tobacco leaf, pencil lead, and black pepper, all lifted by intriguing nuances of star anise and China Calassaja bark. It develops full-bodied and warm in the mouth, with a forceful suite of tannins. This is a wine of incredible concentration and near-endless progression and finish.

Producer: Castello Banfi
Region: Tuscany

Brunello di Montalcino is a red Italian wine produced in the vineyards surrounding the town of Montalcino in Tuscany. It has one of the warmest and driest climates in that area with the grapes ripening up to a week earlier than in nearby regions.

Made from 100% Sangiovese, this example from the famed Castello Banfi is rich yet not over-powering. Sporting a ruby robe, its nose exhibits lots of ripe cherry, blackberry, dried plum and liquorice. It has medium-full body with round and chewy tannins and the finish is elegant and impressive with tones of violet flowers, dried herbs and spices.

Intensely aromatic with apple and honey notes. Impressively fresh on the palate, expressing a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. Its fine bead makes for a persistent and elegant finish.

Bordeaux Blend: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot

Mr Emile and Philippe Casteja decided to create the second wine of Château de Lynch Moussas as from the 2001 vintage.

This manual-harvested wine received constant care and was brought up through a long vinification. It is a good introduction to the first wine Lynch Moussas. Les Huat de Lynch Mousses, whose name comes from the vineyard overhanging the estate has arisen from younger plots that could not join the ones of the main Château Lynch Moussas.

Brought up in one-wine new barrels, it reveals through tasting, its beautiful deep ruby colour and fruity nose. The start is fresh and full-bodied, with a significant length in the mouth. Can be drunk as young, but also be kept long by “connoisseurs”.

Producer: Chapelle de la Trinité
Appellation: Saint-Émilion AOP

A wine with an inviting scent of dark berries, cherries and candied orange, it has a delicate yet juicy palate with a good mineral structure and a lively, good finish.

Some of the Bordeaux area’s most prestigious chateaux are situated on the famous plateau of Pomerol. Nevertheless, it is one of the smallest appellations in the region. Chateaux with names like l’Evangile, Gazin, Lafleur or Petrus stand for mythical great wines from Pomerol. Here, the soil has produced some of the World’s finest Merlots over several centuries.

Couvent de l’Eglise is a typical Pomerol, feminine and elegant in style, coming from the vines standing close to the famous church (église) of Pomerol village, like these prestigious chateaux.

Tasting notes: Couvent de l’Eglise has a lively purple red colour with violet reflections, the nose is dominated by raspberry, plum, black cherry, rose petal and pepper. Soft on the palate with smooth tannins and balanced structure, the final repeats the harmonious notes of berries and cocoa.

Serving suggestions: Serve at around 17° Celsius. Accompanies game like deer, venison, wild boar, rabbit, pheasant, mature cheese specialities, but also pasta dishes, chicken or turkey.

Producer: Tommasi
Region: Veneto

A deep, full yet refined wine, this Amarone from Tommasi sports an intense ruby red robe and a warm, ripe bouquet of raisin, cherry and baked plum. The palate is mouth-filling but not overpowering, with a well-integrated package of smooth tannins, round acidity and alcohol heft. The fruity notes of mixed berry jam and baked cherry tart along hints of cinnamon and tobacco return on the finish leaving an enduring, impressive after taste.

Recommended with white and red meat, game and fresh cheeses.

Intense ruby red colour. Fruity hints of cherry, strawberry and liquorice. Full and rich, with a good body and lively and pleasant tannins.

Serve at 16-18° C. Recommended with roasted and grilled meats, seasoned cheeses and spicy soups.

Vineyards in the townships of Monforte, Castiglione Falletto, and Serralunga. The soils from the Tortonian-Messinian period - the so-called “Sant’Agata fossil marls” - are particularly rich in calcareous clays and elements such as magnesium and manganese.

A bright garnet red in color with ample and complex aromas of violets and berry fruit, full and velvety in flavor and very balanced. A good structured body combined with a complex finish.

Its structure and body make it an ideal match for meat and game dishes and for cheese.

Mighty appearance, a lot of vanilla on the nose, some green aromas, the palate is still a little wood driven, but although this is a very young wine beginning to integrate, vanilla, some subtle roasty and spicy tones, some fresh grass, gooseberry, certain freshness, creamy texture, well structured, mid - to full bodied, long finish, a fine seafood companion.

TASTING NOTES:
This vibrant, stylish Riesling shows best in its youth – up to five years post-vintage. Low alcohol levels lend it the nuanced elegance and complexity necessary to perfectly complement a wide range of dishes.

VINEYARD NOTES:
Grapes for our Gutsriesling are harvested from the areas bordering our top classified sites on the Kiedrich Gräfenberg; the medium to deep soil is composed of stony, fragmented phyllite interlaced with loess and loam; and the steep, southwest facing vineyards include inclines of up to 60 %.

The 2012 Tignanello is an intense ruby red in color with purple highlights. The wine is ripe on the nose with notes of dark fruit and with much underlying freshness on the aromatic finish; plum fruit dominates the aromatic gamut along with cherries, and the aromas evolve with vigor and balance towards sensations of mint and liquorice.

On the palate, though still young, the wine is ready and inviting, rich and harmonious; excellent the balance of the flavours thanks to the tonic acidity and the solidity and suppleness of the tannins. The finish and after-taste are rich and savoury and are characterized by a sweet persistence and length.

Producer: Château D'Arsac
Appellation: Margaux

A dark and sublime robe of red. The first nose turns to the fruit (blackcurrant, currant). The wedding of the oak, toasted and vanilla aromas, gets married pleasantly with notes of fruits in the alcohol and roasted aromas. The attack is frank. The mouth is fat and reminds us of the aromas of matured Cabernet Sauvignon. Tannins are silky. Final is soft and reminds us of the notes of toasted roast.
