CHATEAU TROTANOY POMEROL
Exudes extraordinary notes of minerals, forest floor, sweet black currants and black cherry jam along with floral notes and graphite. Very full-bodied, with silky tannins and a fabulous opulence and palate presence.
PASCAL JOLIVET SANCERRE RED
Vegetal green notes with some tropical fruit and lots of minerality. High acidity but well balanced with a pleasant finish.
ASTER CRIANZA 2014
Deep, dark cherry red, almost black; clean and bright. Very intense forest berry nose, with, redcurrants, blackberries, violets and fennel leading to a complex background of sweet spices, bay leaves, black olives, liquorice, cedar, incense, tobacco l
DOMAINE DE MONTILLE CORTON CLOS DU ROI GRAND CRU
Very ripe, high-toned aromas of cherry, crushed stone and subtle stems. Big, rich and dry; more brooding. More saline, medicinal soil tones and minerality. Finishes with big, broad tannins and lingering smoky earth tones.
DOMAINE DE MONTILLE NUITS SAINT GEORGES 1ER CRU AUX THEORY
This is a big, forceful wine bristling with energy and class. Saline, mineral notes give the Aux Thorey tons of cut. The fruit fleshes out big on the finish, adding depth and volume, but without sacrificing the wine’s focus.
