The 2022 Château Brane-Cantenac opens with a tightly wound bouquet that gradually reveals layers of blackberry, crushed stone, peony, and cracked black pepper. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with finely chiseled tannins, offering a precise and focused structure. The wine showcases a harmonious balance of rich black fruits, tobacco, and spice, culminating in a powerful, long-lasting finish. This vintage exemplifies the elegance and depth characteristic of Brane-Cantenac's Margaux terroir.

Made using Chardonnay grape juice which is fortified with spirit and then matured for a number of years in older oak barrels.

Fairly typical of the best of this style from the Gippsland region with the added mineral complexities we attribute to our granite soils.

The Pinot Noir is earthy and complex, lively and elegant with great depth and persistence, along with some violet and cherry notes.

Elegant and expressive. An exciting revival of a classic style. This drop has the best characteristics of traditional California and old world Bordeaux. Intense fruit aromas of black cherry, plum accented by vanilla, caramel and rich toasted oak. Full on the palate with good concentration and considerable structure on the finish.

The 2022 Château Beychevelle reveals a deep, dark black-purple hue, indicating its concentration and maturity. The nose is expressive, offering aromas of crème de cassis, ripe plum, and wild blackcurrant, intertwined with notes of sweet spices, cedar, and a touch of mint. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, showcasing a rich core of dark fruit flavors, complemented by finely polished tannins and a fresh acidity. The finish is long and elegant, marked by a persistent minerality.

Pure graphite, cassis and cigar box on a brooding, concentrated frame — Pauillac's only 4th Grand Cru Classé, shaped by the genius of Lafite Rothschild.

Cassis, cedar and Pyrenean gravel minerality on a fresh, elegant frame — one of Listrac-Médoc's finest Bordeaux reds.

"a masterpiece." 100 points - James Suckling

With a history that dates back to 1660 when it was served at the table of King Charles II, Château Haut-Brion has maintained its position as a legendary wine estate. This exceptional blend is crafted from 45% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 9% Cabernet Franc, complemented by a touch of Petit Verdot. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted multiple times, resulting in limited yields and a 22-month maturation in new oak barrels. The wine exhibits velvety notes of ripe blackcurrant and a mineral profile, showcasing the finesse that is synonymous with Haut Brion. In exceptional vintages, it can age for decades, with standout years like 1961 and 1989 solidifying its place among the world's greatest red wines.

Dark fruit, tobacco and crushed stone on a structured, elegant frame — a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel punching well above its weight in Saint-Estèphe.

When tasted in early November 1999, the wines were tannic, concentrated and powerful, but very well balanced. Now at 20 years after the vintage, the 2000 holds on to its primary fruit whilst really starting to reveal the classic Musar identity, balancing out the characteristic sweet spice and desiccated fruit notes with more evolved elements of leather, tar, tobacco and a hint of game. These complex aromas and flavours are lifted with a fresh lick of acidity that will ensure the wine will continue to age gracefully for years to come.
