  • A bottle of Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2008 Domaine du Clos des Papes - Majestic Wine

    Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2008 Domaine du Clos des Papes

    Very appealing, this shows a floral-lift on the palate, with enticing spiced raspberry fruit, notes of garrigue, and a liquorice-like character to the finish. The tannins are barely perceptible in this engaging forward-drinking Châteauneuf.

However, at least 6 bottles must be Fine Wine products, because Fine Wines require special distribution from our temperature-controlled Fine Wine Centre in London. Original wooden cases not available ouside the M25.

    "The undisputed King of the southern Rhone! The 2008 is a more elegant and refined Chateauneuf, but still has all the trademark characteristics. Deep ruby in colour, the bouquet is packed full of dark cherry and blackberry fruit intermixed with more savoury notes of licorice, roasted herbs, grilled meat and earthy undertones. It is elegant and pure in the mouth, with real definition and ripeness of fruit and soft chewy tannins. This is most certainly an early drinking wine that should continue to develop for the next 8 - 10 years. "

    "This superb Domaine continues to produce a much leaner style of Puligny Montrachet. Aromas of white flowers, green plums, chalk, minerals, and a subtle hint of oak provide a truly expressive nose. It is clean and seductive in the mouth, with its rich silky texture being balanced by refreshing acidity and a lovely toasted nut flavour on the long and lingering finish."

    "Vaudesir is considered to be one of the best Grand Crus in Chablis. Renowned for their finesse and minerality, the nose offers up delightful floral notes, citrus and stone fruits, minerals, and the most amazing whiff of sea air! Ripe peach flavours adorn the palate and sit wonderfully alongside the tangy citrus acidity. The finish is clean, long, and wonderfully textured with a lovely mineral kick at the end."

  • A bottle of La Parde de Haut-Bailly 2006 Pessac-Léognan - Majestic Wine

    La Parde de Haut-Bailly 2006 Pessac-Léognan

    The second wine of Château Haut-Bailly, this has an intense nose of cherry and redcurrant with a touch of savoury warm stone. Spicy fruit and balanced acidity combine with a distinctive smokiness typical of Péssac.

    "The second wine of Chateau Haut-Bailly, but every bit as good as the Grand Vin. A delightful nose of cherries, raspberries and redcurrants intermix with notes of scorched earth and a hint of Christmas cake spice. The spicy quality continues on the palate, with the elegant red summer fruits holding their own against the slightly smoky undertones. This is a fantastic Pessac-Leognan that delivers on all fronts."

    "A complex and racy nose of green fruits, apples, grapefruit and blood oranges jump out of the glass to present a refreshing and unexpectedly elegant and minerally bouquet. This is not archetypal Californian Chardonnay, but soft, sophisticated and fabulously complex. The richness of the fruit is complimented by a steely minerality and a genuine richness provided by the careful oak ageing and extended time on its lees."

    "Cask 23 is made only in the most exceptional vintages, from a blend of the finest parcels from the Fay and S.L.V. vineyards. It's perhaps the most modern in style, with a rich, complex nose of sweet cassis, Black Forest gateau, cooked strawberries, tobacco, nutmeg, cinnamon and violets. Its big, sweet, luscious nature is even more pronounced in the mouth through the rich chocolate and berry-infused palate. A wonderfully rich, silky mouthfeel is supported by fine grained tannins and a long, lingering finish. Keep for 15-20 years."

    "The 2006 S.L.V. displays a heavenly blackberry, cassis, cherry, cigar-box and eucalyptus nose, with subtle touches of truffles. In the mouth, cocoa, espresso and vanilla blend harmoniously with dark berry fruits and savoury flavours spilling over from the nose. Long, luscious and very silky, this will delight even the most committed Francophile."
