Scala Ciro Rosato 2021
One of the most interesting pink wines we’ve come across. 100% Gaglioppo from 30 year old vineyard located in Cirò (Crotone district), with a south/south-east exposure – sand and clay soil. Juicy, spicy and ripe, it offers a delightful nose of red cherry, raspberry and aromatic herbs. Finishes long and mineral with a mouth-watering a sweet and sour tang.
An outstanding Rosato showcasing just how suited Gaglioppo is to making pink wines.
Real Agrado Reserva Rioja 2014
Ruby red colour with garnet hues. Aromas of ripe redberries with light notes of vanilla, chocolate, figs and prunes. Balsamic and mineral hues. Rounded in the palate with good structure and velvety and harmonious character. Long and persistent finish. Perfect with stews, spiced dishes, legumes and cured cheeses.
Vecchia Cantina Chianti Riserva 2021
This terrific Tuscan value comes from carefully selected grapes 400 metres above sea level on top of a limestone ridge adjacent to the ancient village of Montepulciano. The grapes are hand harvested and after a traditional vinification it spends 2 years in oak.
Aromatic, expressive and round, this vintage offers loads of Sangiovese character in a succulent, mid-weight style that will find plenty of admirers. The balance of the texture and freshness makes for a compelling Chianti to drink now and over the next few years. All and all, a terrific Tuscan value!
Domaine Pellé Morogues Menetou-Salon 2018
100% Pinot Noir grown on Kimmeridgian marl and limestone. Aged in a combo of 70% wood *Foudres and used 400L barrels) and 30% tank for 12 months.
The terroir of the village of Morogues combined with strict vineyard practices results in a beautiful Pinot that would not be out of place in a tasting of Volnays.
Ortega Ezquerro Don Quintin Rioja Blanca 2018
Ortega Ezquerro Don Quintin Ortega Rioja 2011
Château Rousselle Côtes de Bourg 2018
75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Malbec, 2% Cabernet Franc.

Cailleteau Bergeron Blaye Cotes de Bordeaux Prestige 2019
Chateau Cedre Marcel Malbec 2020
Aydie Pacherenc du Vic Bihl (500mL)
A silvery yellow, this wine is perfectly brilliant and clear. Exotic fruits and honeyed notes on the nose, a combination of delicacy and strength. The lively attack on the palate is in complete balance with the rich, fat structure. The finish is a caress of citrus fruits and a long vanilla sweetness, typical of grapes dried on the vine. This sweet wine has enormous potential. To be drunk cold at 8° to 10°C and pairs perfectly with foie gras and cheeses.
This product is 500mL.
Clos Cibonne Cuvee Tibouren Rouge 2020
Clos de la Roilette Fleurie Tardive 2021
"Coudert's brilliant 2018 Fleurie Cuvée Tardive offers up a deep and incipiently complex bouquet featuring raspberries, mulberries, rose petals, violets and cracked black pepper. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and layered, with an abundance of rich and powdery structuring tannins, ripe but lively acids and a long, lingering finish. While this is built for the long haul—its name alluding to the aging potential of this old-vine cuvée, not to a later harvest—its enveloping profile and perfectly mature phenolics will make it unusually approachable in its youth." - 95 Points Wine Advocate (2018 Vintage), August 2019
