CHAMPAGNE One of the most northern wine producing regions in the world, Champagne is located 90 miles north-east of Paris with 34,000 hectares of vines. Surrounding the Champagne hubs of Epernay and Reims, the region produces around a million bottles of Champagne a day. A technique said to have been invented by Dom Pérignon in 1688, Champagne is made using the traditional method, when a second fermentation is induced in the bottle, producing CO2 and resulting in a sparkling wine. Champagne style wines are now replicated all over the world. These premium wines are usually made from a blend of grapes: Chardonnay to add fruit and elegance; the red grapes, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, for body and backbone. CHAMPAGNE BILLECART-SALMON Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé 93pts Still family run, the small house of Billecart-Salmon offers a range of black-grape dominated Champagnes with bright, complex fruit flavours resulting from a long, slow, cool fermentation process. Particularly well known for its elegant Rosé, Billecart-Salmon is a Champagne house for wine lovers: many who discover it drink few other Champagnes thereafter.. Billecart-Salmon Brut Billecart-Salmon Brut Vintage Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé A lovely rosé in an almost vinous style, with mouthwatering acidity and a fine, lacy mousse carrying appealing flavors of ripe raspberry, white cherry fruit, star anise, mandarin orange peel and honeysuckle. Lightly chalky on the lasting finish. NV 31.00 2004/7 50.00 NV 49.00 BOLLINGER Bollinger has been making classic, Pinot-dominated Champagnes with great ageing potential and complexity since 1829. The house style is deliberately oxidative with much of the wine (all of the vintage and reserve wines, and a high proportion of Special Cuvée) being fermented in old oak barrels, resulting in rich toast, apple and spice flavours. A proportion of the reserve wines are aged in magnums under cork keeping the aromas and flavours fresh and helping to make Special Cuvée one.of the most complex Non-Vintage Champagnes around. Bollinger Special Cuvée NV 37.00 Bollinger La Grande Année 2007 89.00 Bollinger Vieilles Vignes Françaises Blanc de Noirs 2006 629.00 NV 52.00 2004/5 125.00 NV 36.00 Bollinger Rosé Bollinger La Grande Année Rosé Bollinger Special Cuvée 91pts DELAMOTTE Delamotte Blanc de Blancs The NV Brut Special Cuvee is fabulous. Hints of pears, pastry crust and hazelnut lead to an expansive core of fruit. There is plenty of the signature Bollinger oxidative style in this rich, enveloping Champagne. Once again the Special Cuvee is one of the best Champagnes in its price range. The ideal aperitif, or delicious served with oysters, grilled fish or fresh radishes served with salt. 7

CHAMPAGNE CHAMPAGNE Dom Pérignon 2006 97pts DOM PERIGNON Dom Pérignon, owned by Moët & Chandon, is an exclusively vintage prestige cuvée Champagne. It is made from roughly equal quantities (varying slightly according to the vintage) of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, grown only in the best vineyard sites in Champagne. During production, the wine sees no oak and is protected from oxidation as much as possible making it one of Champagne's most reductive, minerally styles with an overarching elegance, harmony and completeness. It is one of the most classic, famous, and eye-catching of all wines and consistently tastes as good as. its reputation suggests it will. Dom Pérignon 2006 135.00 Dom Pérignon Magnum 2005/6 355.00 Dom Pérignon Jeroboam 2004 1,740.00 Dom Pérignon P2 1998 349.00 Dom Pérignon Rosé 2004/5 315.00 Dom Pérignon Rosé Magnum 2002 895.00 Dom Pérignon Rosé Magnum 2004 859.00 Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2006 93pts LAURENT-PERRIER Chardonnay forms the core of most of Laurent-Perrier's cuvées giving the wines a fresh, elegant style. The exception to this is their Cuvée Rosé, for which the house is best known. Made from 100% Pinot Noir, it is unusual in that it is made by the tricky 'saignée' method. This is the technique by which the pink colour is obtained through maceration of the skins rather than the addition of red wine (the way most. rosé Champagnes are made) and gives Laurent-Perrier Rosé its remarkable flavour. Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée Brut NV 29.00 Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle NV 118.00 Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé NV 59.00 The 2006 Dom Pérignon is a beautifully balanced, harmonious Dom Pérignon that strikes an incredibly appealing stylistic middle ground. Rich, voluptuous and creamy, the 2006 shows off fabulous intensity in a style that brings together the ripeness of 2002 with the greater sense of verve and overall freshness that is such a signature of the 2004. HENRI GIRAUD Henri Giraud Hommage NV 35.00 This Champagne is full-bodied, intense and powerful, yet really fine and refreshing on the palate; it has nutty flavours and a lot of tension and chalky notes. This is a dry and firmly structured cuvée of great expression, finesse and elegance. MOET & CHANDON Creating a true slice of Champagne, Moët & Chandon bring the characteristics of all three varieties, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, into their blends. The wines are vinified non-oxidatively in stainless steel and undergo malolactic fermentation, giving them a soft, light, approachable style with a. universal appeal that has made Moët & Chandon the world's most popular Champagne. Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial NV 34.00 Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial 20cl NV 12.50 Moët & Chandon Nectar Impérial demi-sec NV 38.00 Moët & Chandon Ice Impérial demi-sec NV 45.00 Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2006/8 48.00 Moët & Chandon Rosé Impérial NV 40.00 Moët & Chandon Rosé Impérial 20cl NV 15.00 Moët & Chandon Ice Rosé Impérial demi-sec NV 50.00 Henriot Brut Millésimé 2005 92pts Yellow plum, pear, musky herbs, spices and a whiff of woodsmoke on the highly fragrant nose. Powerful but lively, with excellent clarity to the deep, chewy pit fruit and lemon pith flavors. Finishes with very good smoky persistence. CHARLES HEIDSIECK Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve NV 29.00 Charles Heidsieck Rosé Réserve NV 39.00 HENRIOT Founded in 1808, Henriot is one of the few remaining independent, family-owned Champagne houses with 7th generation Joseph Henriot at the helm. The Chardonnay-dominant wines are fresh and elegant with a rich, toasty character from extended ageing on the lees (twice the legal requirement) and. are exceptional value for money. Henriot Brut Souverain NV 28.00 Henriot Blanc de Blancs NV 42.00 Henriot Brut Millésimé 2005 45.00 Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut 90pts Lively and mouthwatering, with flavors of black currant, graphite, candied lemon zest and smoky mineral, supported by a creamy mousse. A balanced crowd-pleaser. PERRIER-JOUET Perrier-Jouët is a prestigious Epernay-based producer, famous for its cuvée Belle Epoque, instantly recognisable by its distinctive anemone-adorned bottle. Chardonnay from the Grand Cru vineyards of Cramant and Avize have the biggest influence on the house style which is one of lightness, elegance and. finesse, featuring floral aromas and a delicate creaminess. Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut NV 34.00 Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque 2007 136.00 Perrier-Jouët Blason Rosé NV 48.00 Krug Vintage 2002 96pts Beautifully aromatic, this leads with aromas of ground clove, coffee liqueur and mandarin orange peel, adding crystallized honey, dried cherry, acacia blossom and toasted brioche notes on the expansive palate. Rich in flavor and broad in structure, with verve driving this through to the long, satiny finish. KRUG Krug is the only Champagne house to have created a prestige cuvée every year since it was founded in 1843. The house's flagship wine, Grande Cuvée, typically contains 35-50% reserve wines chosen from an extensive library of 150 different wines across more than 10 vintages. With fermentation in neutral oak barrels and ageing on the lees well beyond the legal minimum, the wines have incredible depth, richness. and complexity and a unique personality all of their own. Krug Grande Cuvée NV 144.00 Krug Vintage 2002 330.00 Krug Clos de Mesnil Blanc de Blancs 2002 975.00 Krug Clos d Ambonnay Blanc de Noirs 2000 2,285.00 Krug Rosé NV 235.00 Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé 2007 97pts The 2007 Cristal Rosé opens with the most captivating, extraordinary bouquet imaginable. Sweet, exquisite and beautifully layered in the glass, the 2007 is intense yet weightless, with extraordinary overall balance and remarkable finesse. Today, the 2007 Cristal Rosé is a wine of pure seduction. LOUIS ROEDERER Most famous for their prestige cuvée Cristal which was first created in 1876 for the Tsar of Russia, Alexander II, the house of Louis Roederer is known for the sheer quality and style of their wines across the range. Roederer is the largest owner of organically-farmed (and increasingly, biodynamicallyfarmed) vineyards in Champagne. The wines are distinguished by their superb balance, finesse and elegance. and their fine, creamy mousse. Louis Roederer Brut Premier NV 35.00 Louis Roederer et Philippe Starck Brut Nature 2006/9 54.00 Louis Roederer Cristal 2006 199.00 Louis Roederer Cristal 2007 169.00 Louis Roederer Cristal 2009 155.00 Louis Roederer Brut Rosé 2010 55.00 Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé 2007 425.00 Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé 2009 389.00 Perfect with lobster, beluga caviar, seared salmon or poached sea trout. 8 9

CHAMPAGNE SPARKLING Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs 2006 96+pts RUINART Ruinart is Champagne's oldest house, with a history dating back to 1729. The Chardonnay grape is at the heart of all Ruinart's wines giving them freshness and bright fruit aromas. The wines, vinified non-oxidatively in stainless steel, have a minerally character in youth, developing toasty, smoky characteristics. with bottle age. R de Ruinart Brut NV 39.00 Ruinart Blanc de Blancs NV 53.00 Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs 2006 134.00 Ruinart Rosé NV 53.00 Dom Ruinart Rosé 2002 188.00 Sparkling wine is arguably the most technical style of wine in the world. Not only do these wines have to undergo a first fermentation in order to make alcohol, but also a second fermentation to produce the carbon dioxide giving the wine its fizz. Either made in the same way as Champagne, where the second fermentation takes place in the bottle, or by using the tank method where it takes place in a sealed tank. Produced all around the world, sparkling wine comes in a huge range of styles, from bone dry to perfumed and floral. One of the highlights among this year s new tête de cuvée releases, 2006 Brut Blanc de Blancs Dom Ruinart is a powerful, almost tannic Champagne built on structure and intensity. SALON Salon is a tiny house producing what connoisseurs consider to be the quintessential Blanc de Blancs. In minuscule amounts (30,000 bottles a year, if at all) from over 35-year-old vines in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger (one of the greatest crus of the Côte de Blancs), Salon releases on average only. about 3 times a decade. Salon S Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs 1999 355.00 Salon S Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs 2002 490.00 Salon S Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs 2004/06 295.00 ENGLAND Nyetimber Classic Cuvée 2009 33.00 Nyetimber Rosé NV 42.00 Salon S Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs 2002 99pts James Suckling The 2002 Salon is phenomenal quality. It is a subtle and intense Champagne that shows complex character of lilac, minerals, sliced lemon, apple, and white pepper. It is full bodied and dense yet racy and agile with a lightness and freshness. It has a gloriously long finish. It changes every moment in the glass. It has such clarity. It s magnificent to drink now, but shows great texture and structure for aging. Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2006 94pts Bright and graceful, this seamlessly knits a subtle streak of smoke-tinged minerality with flavors of almond financier, poached pear, candied kumquat and crème de cassis, focused by vibrant acidity and a refined, creamy mousse. Try with panfried foie gras and truffle jus. TAITTINGER In a beautiful twist on the norm, the Taittinger family bought back the Champagne House that bears their name from the demerger of a giant multi-national in 2006, and the wines - always good - have been on fine form ever since. The house style is one of elegance and clarity of fruit with a. creamy texture.

BORDEAUX LEFT BANK France s most important wine region and the centre of the fine wine world, Bordeaux has 120,000 hectares under vine and produces over 900 million bottles a year. With 57 different appellations and 10,000 producers, Bordeaux is home to some of the world s finest Châteaux, producing long-lasting wines of exceptional quality. MEDOC Home to many of the biggest names in Bordeaux, the Médoc is the most famous red wine region in the world and includes the renowned appellations of St Estèphe, Pauillac, St Julien and Margaux. Situated on the Left Bank of the Gironde estuary, the best vineyard sites are located on gravelly outcrops close to the river. The Left Bank is well suited to the production of Cabernet Sauvignon and the wines produced here will generally have this as the dominant grape in the blend. ST ESTEPHE This is the most northern of the important communes of the Médoc. The wines here take on a rustic style given the high proportion of clay in the soil. As a result they can seem austere in their youth, however they display good acidity and colour and are exceptionally long-lived. PAUILLAC Considering that Pauillac is a small region of only 23km², three of the five First Growth Châteaux are located here Château Latour, Château Lafite and Château Mouton Rothschild with Grands Crus Classés representing 84% of the rest of the production. Fine, deep and gravelly soils mean that the vine roots reach a greater depth here than anywhere else in the Médoc. The resulting wines are intense and display great complexity. ST JULIEN St Julien is the smallest of the well-known Médoc communes at only 700ha with a uniform style thanks to the gravelly soils. Despite having no First Growth properties, St Julien is considered to offer the most consistent wines across the board, with impressive offerings year after year. MARGAUX The largest commune in the Médoc, and home to First Growth Château Margaux, Margaux is famous for producing the most elegant and alluring wines of the Left Bank. With the lightest and most gravelly soils in the Médoc, the finest examples of Margaux are intensely perfumed whilst also subtle and refined. PESSAC-LEOGNAN/GRAVES Pessac-Léognan was a new district created in 1986 within Graves due to pressure from the vignerons who wanted to disassociate themselves from growers further south where the soils were much sandier. Pessac-Léognan is home to Châteaux Haut Brion, the only First Growth property outside of the Médoc. Médoc R. Gironde FRANCE St Estèphe Pauillac St Julien Margaux RIGHT BANK Bordeaux Pomerol St Emilion LEFT BANK Pessac-Léognan Graves 88% of the production of Bordeaux is red wine, or Claret as it is known in the UK, made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Bordeaux is also the source of some of the world s longest-lived sweet wines from Sauternes and dry whites made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. The wines of Bordeaux were classified in 1855 with only 5 receiving first growth status - Château Lafite, Château Mouton Rothschild, Château Latour, Château Margaux and Château Haut Brion. Those Châteaux that made it into any of the five tiers of this classification will have Grand Cru Classé on the label. RIGHT BANK POMEROL Pomerol is the smallest of the prestigious Bordeaux appellations with around only 150 producers and 740 hectares of vineyards. Demand and prices for these wines are high given that many of these are boutique growers making circa 1,000 cases a year. Pomerol is dominated by Merlot, producing rich and smooth wines. Château Pétrus is considered to be one of the best producers in Pomerol. R. Garonne ST EMILION Located on the right bank of the Dordogne, St Emilion is one of the most important Bordeaux appellations in terms of both quality and quantity. Merlot is the predominant grape variety and is perfectly suited to the clay and chalk-rich soils here. Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon are also grown. Given the high proportion of Merlot, these wines are much more approachable in youth than the more astringent examples produced on the left bank. 30 31

FRANCE RED BORDEAUX FRANCE RED BORDEAUX Château Tour St Bonnet 2014 89pts BORDEAUX Château Bras d Argent 2014 7.50 Château Roquefort 2014 10.00 LEFT BANK MEDOC Château Tour St Bonnet Médoc 2014 20.00 Château Sociando-Mallet 2010 92pts CHATEAU SOCIANDO-MALLET This château was completely renovated in the 1970s and now, thanks to careful vineyard management, and investment in the latest technology in the winery, produces excellent wines. Sociando Mallet makes no compromises and continues to produce one of the finest wines among non-classified estates in Haut-Medoc. Robert. Parker Château Sociando-Mallet Haut-Médoc 1995 65.00 Château Sociando-Mallet Haut-Médoc 1996 65.00 Château Sociando-Mallet Haut-Médoc 2010 59.00 Medium-bodied with fine tannin, good structure, plenty of tobacco-stained black fruit and a harmonious and very satisfying finish. Now, here is a lovely Cru Bourgeois that gives Bordeaux a good name. Recommended. Château Cantemerle 2010 94pts Broad, rich and intense on the palate, the wine has plenty of tannins, but they are sweet and well-integrated. Everything is delicately entwined into this beautiful, medium to full-bodied, dense purple wine. Château Potensac Médoc 2012 37.00 CHATEAU CAMENSAC The Camensac vineyards are on a gravelly elevation in the commune of Saint-Laurent-Médoc, and the excellent drainage afforded by the deep, stony soil is augmented by a system of field drains. The various plots, all entitled to the Haut-Médoc appellation, are cared for on an individual basis. Attractive ripe cherry and blackcurrant fruit intermixed with hints of damp earth, spice and new wood from. this charming Médoc property. Château Camensac 5ème Cru Classé 2000 59.00 Château Camensac 5ème Cru Classé 2005 65.00 Château Camensac 5ème Cru Classé 2010 59.00 A perfect match with Asian dishes and hearty fish courses such as tuna. CHATEAU CANTEMERLE This prestigious property in the Médoc is most noted for featuring a high percentage of Merlot, making for an approachable, forward wine style which is drinkable in relative youth. A Grand Cru (classed growth) in the prestigious 1855 classification, the wines are something of a steal in terms of. value. Château Cantemerle 5ème Cru Classé 1998 69.00 Château Cantemerle 5ème Cru Classé 2003 75.00 Château Cantemerle 5ème Cru Classé 2010 79.00 Densely packed, juicy and sweet, with excellent inner-mouth energy to the black raspberry and mineral flavors complicated by sexy smoky oak. Like some past outstanding vintages of Sociando-Mallet, this will make a great ringer in future tastings. Château Calon-Ségur 2000 94pts The 2000 Calon Segur is one of those wines that reminds you how great the millennial vintage could be. Now at fifteen years old, it has a brilliant, vivacious red berry nose infused with ash and cigar box aromas. The detail here is beguiling and it just sings Saint Estèphe. ST ESTEPHE Château Beau-Site Cru Bourgeois 2010 31.00 Delicious with roast chicken or lamb cutlets. CHATEAU CALON-SEGUR Once part of the mighty Ségur estate, which at various times included Lafite and Mouton Rothschild, the Marquis de Ségur was very fond of Calon, and no account of Calon-Ségur is complete without reporting his assertion that I make my wine at Lafite and Latour but my heart is in Calon. Doubtless this is the reason why Calon-Ségur features a heart motif on its label, and throughout the exquisite château. buildings. Château Calon-Ségur 3ème Cru Classé 2000 185.00 Château Calon-Ségur 3ème Cru Classé 2009 175.00 Château Calon-Ségur 3ème Cru Classé 2010 190.00 CHATEAU COS D ESTOURNEL The archetypal St Estèphe and almost as famous for its fantastic folly-like château building as it is for a wine which defines its commune. Cos is simply one of the must-have names and they are noted for producing amazing wines in every vintage, often being awarded the accolade of wine of the vintage in lesser. years. Château Cos d Estournel 2ème Cru Classé 2000 289.00 Château Cos d Estournel 2ème Cru Classé 2003 310.00 Château Cos d Estournel 2ème Cru Classé 2005 335.00 Château Cos d Estournel 2ème Cru Classé 2006 195.00 Château Cos d Estournel 2ème Cru Classé 2010 355.00 Château Cos d Estournel 2ème Cru Classé 2011 159.00 CHATEAU CHASSE-SPLEEN The unusual name of this property, undoubtedly the finest estate in Moulis, means (loosely) to chase away the blues, and how appropriate for such a great wine at a reasonable price. Had this property been considered for inclusion in the 1855 classification it surely would have been awarded high classed. growth status, and would fetch vastly higher prices these days. Château Chasse-Spleen Moulis 1995 69.00 Château Chasse-Spleen Moulis 2010 59.00 Château Chasse-Spleen 2010 90pts Very supple and refined, with a crumpled velvet feel to the smoldering bay, tobacco and mulled spice hints surrounding the core of steeped plum and blackberry fruit. Flashes of cedar and sandalwood hang through the fine-grained finish. CHATEAU POUJEAUX The wines from Château Poujeaux in Moulis are often amongst the finest value on offer from the Médoc. Cabernet Sauvignon (50%) with the balance a mixture of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, this is a classically-styled Bordeaux. The vibrant flavours of cassis, damson and spice are intermingled. with cedary oak and vanilla. Château Poujeaux Moulis 2000 75.00 Château Poujeaux Moulis 2003 69.00 Château Poujeaux Moulis 2005 75.00 Château Poujeaux Moulis 2014 45.00 Château Montrose 2010 100pts The wine is opaque black/blue, with an incredible nose of blueberry and blackberry liqueur, with hints of incense, licorice, and acacia flowers. Tannins are incredibly sweet and very present. The wine is full-bodied, even massive, with great purity, depth and a finish that goes on close to a minute. CHATEAU MONTROSE Originally part of the Calon-Ségur estate, Montrose is young for a classed growth having only been planted. in 1815. The robust Cabernet Sauvignon dominated style is a fabulous treat. Château Montrose 2ème Cru Classé 1998 169.00 Château Montrose 2ème Cru Classé 2000 255.00 Château Montrose 2ème Cru Classé 2003 295.00 Château Montrose 2ème Cru Classé 2005 235.00 Château Montrose 2ème Cru Classé 2008 169.00 Château Montrose 2ème Cru Classé 2010 390.00 Château Montrose 2ème Cru Classé 2011 129.00 32 33

FRANCE RED BORDEAUX FRANCE RED BORDEAUX CHATEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD Château Ormes de Pez 2010 90pts This dense, purple-coloured 2010 exhibits dark raspberry and blueberry fruit notes, less power than its neighbour De Pez, but more finesse, elegance and fruit forwardness. This impressively endowed effort should drink nicely for 10-15 years. CHATEAU ORMES DE PEZ Sadly the ormes (elms) of the village of Pez were lost in the great storm of winter 2000, although have since been replanted. The property is owned by the Cazes family (also owners of Lynch Bages) and their. winemaking artistry certainly shows through here. Château Ormes de Pez Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel 2005 75.00 Château Ormes de Pez Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel 2010 62.00 Château Ormes de Pez Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel 2011 55.00 Works beautifully with a classic Daube Provençale. PAUILLAC CHATEAU BATAILLEY Château Batailley is a classically-styled Pauillac that exudes the near stereotypical aromas of cassis, cigar box and pencil shavings augmented by a coffee-bean texture and silky tannins. Really excellent value. and delicious even in youth. Château Batailley 5ème Cru Classé 1996 95.00 Château Batailley 5ème Cru Classé 2000 125.00 Château Batailley 5ème Cru Classé 2003 99.00 Château Batailley 5ème Cru Classé 2005 125.00 Château Batailley 5ème Cru Classé 2009 109.00 Château Batailley 5ème Cru Classé 2010 99.00 Château Lafite Rothschild 2003 100pts The 2003 Lafite Rothschild comes as close to perfection as any of the great Lafites made over the past three decades. Lafite consistently produces one of the wines of the vintage year in, year out. In a great vintage it is a reasonable assumption that Lafite will have produced the greatest Cabernet Sauvignon in the whole Médoc. and fashioned a wonderful, long-lived, currant and cedar scented, ethereal beauty. Château Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru Classé 1986 1,428.00 Château Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru Classé 1990 1,180.00 Château Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru Classé 1996 1,490.00 Château Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru Classé 1998 990.00 Château Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru Classé 2000 1,990.00 Château Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru Classé 2003 1,490.00 Château Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru Classé 2005 1,295.00 Château Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru Classé 2009 1,290.00 Château Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru Classé 2010 1,185.00 Château Lafite Rothschild 1er Cru Classé 2011 845.00 Serve with grilled lamb, gratin dauphinois and green beans with garlic. Château Batailley 2009 94pts The finest Batailley I have had in many years, the dense purple-colored 2009 exhibits a boatload of tannin as well as sweet, caramelized, black currant fruit intermixed with hints of charcoal, cedarwood and smoke. CHATEAU DUHART-MILON ROTHSCHILD With 76 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, Duhart is managed by Eric Kohler, technical director at Château Lafite Rothschild. It has the distinguished and reserved character so typical of Pauillac.. The Rothschild family has invested heavily in this estate over the last 20 years in order to upgrade the quality, and their investments have certainly paid off handsomely. Robert. Parker Château Duhart-Milon Rothschild 4ème Cru Classé 1996 168.00 Château Duhart-Milon Rothschild 4ème Cru Classé 1999 175.00 Château Duhart-Milon Rothschild 4ème Cru Classé 2000 179.00 Château Duhart-Milon Rothschild 4ème Cru Classé 2005 182.00 Château Duhart-Milon Rothschild 4ème Cru Classé 2010 165.00 Château Latour 1990 100pts This is one of my favorite wines ever. Fullbodied, with layers of silky fruit and masses of currant, mineral and berry character. Amazing. It s a wine with perfect structure, perfect strength. It s 1961 Latour in modern clothes. It s hard not to drink it now. CHATEAU LATOUR Latour is considered one of the most powerful, dense Pauillacs to be found and it needs to age. A very high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon (sometimes as much as 94%) lends the wine huge power and structure.. Tasting notes include leather and spice, enhanced by intense blackcurrant fruit. Château Latour 1er Cru Classé 1986 690.00 Château Latour 1er Cru Classé 1988 745.00 Château Latour 1er Cru Classé 1990 1,090.00 Château Latour 1er Cru Classé 1995 785.00 Château Latour 1er Cru Classé 1996 1,080.00 Château Latour 1er Cru Classé 1998 749.00 Château Latour 1er Cru Classé 1999 790.00 Château Latour 1er Cru Classé 2000 1,425.00 Château Latour 1er Cru Classé 2003 1,289.00 Château Latour 1er Cru Classé 2005 1,290.00 CHATEAU LYNCH BAGES Always something of a relative bargain, Lynch Bages was awarded a derisory Fifth Growth status in 1855, perhaps the greatest travesty in the whole classification, as the property regularly performs at super second level. For many people, Lynch Bages epitomises the style of Pauillac with its cedary pencil. shaving aromas and densely packed cassis fruit. Château Lynch Bages 5ème Cru Classé 1989 385.00 Château Lynch Bages 5ème Cru Classé 1990 360.00 Château Lynch Bages 5ème Cru Classé 2000 375.00 Château Lynch Bages 5ème Cru Classé 2003 249.00 Château Lynch Bages 5ème Cru Classé 2005 275.00 Château Lynch Bages 5ème Cru Classé 2006 198.00 Château Lynch Bages 5ème Cru Classé 2008 195.00 Château Lynch Bages 5ème Cru Classé 2010 255.00 Château Lynch Bages 5ème Cru Classé 2011 185.00 Château Duhart-Milon Rothschild 96pts Dense purple, with classic notes of cedar and lead pencil shavings as well as gobs of black currants and licorice, the wine has a full-bodied mouthfeel with fabulous precision and density. It also possesses a long, silky finish with moderately high tannins, but they are ripe and well-integrated. CHATEAU HAUT-BATAILLEY Recently purcashed by the Cazes family of Château Lynch Bages, Haut-Batailley has always been a reliable,. characteristic Pauillac that performs well in great and lesser vintages alike. Château Haut-Batailley 5ème Cru Classé 1996 97.00 Château Haut-Batailley 5ème Cru Classé 1999 99.00 Château Haut-Batailley 5ème Cru Classé 2003 99.00 Delicious with all game dishes, or roast chicken. Château Lynch Bages 2000 97pts Full-bodied with velvety tannins that have resolved themselves beautifully over the last eleven years, this wine is still an adolescent, but it exhibits admirable purity, texture, mouthfeel and power combined with elegance. One of the alltime great examples of Lynch Bages. 34 35

FRANCE RED BORDEAUX FRANCE RED BORDEAUX Château Mouton Rothschild 1986 100pts Exemplary graphite and cedar scents, a touch of black pepper and incense. The palate is beautifully balanced with its trademark firm tannic structure, a Mouton- Rothschild with backbone and masculinity. Layers of black fruit intermingling with mint and graphite, a hint of licorice emanating from the Merlot, gently fanning out and my God, it is incredibly long. CHATEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILD Château Mouton Rothschild is the only Château to achieve reclassification since 1855 when the wines from Bordeaux were sorted into 5 tiers according to the prices they were fetching on the market at the time. This unique recategorisation took place in 1973 when Mouton Rothschild entered into the realm of the top five Châteaux (Premiers Grands Crus Classés). The bottles from this vineyard are famous not only for the powerful yet deceptively smooth wine inside, but also for the colourful labels brought out. each year which are designed by a different artist for each vintage. Château Mouton Rothschild 1er Cru Classé 1986 986.00 Château Mouton Rothschild 1er Cru Classé 1990 690.00 Château Mouton Rothschild 1er Cru Classé 1995 660.00 Château Mouton Rothschild 1er Cru Classé 1996 695.00 Château Mouton Rothschild 1er Cru Classé 1999 689.00 Château Mouton Rothschild 1er Cru Classé 2000 1,990.00 Château Mouton Rothschild 1er Cru Classé 2003 690.00 Château Mouton Rothschild 1er Cru Classé 2005 990.00 Château Mouton Rothschild 1er Cru Classé 2008 690.00 Château Mouton Rothschild 1er Cru Classé 2009 990.00 Château Mouton Rothschild 1er Cru Classé 2010 975.00 Château Mouton Rothschild 1er Cru Classé 2011 589.00 Château Pontet-Canet 2010 100pts An astounding, compelling wine. The freshness, laser-like precision, and full-bodied, massive richness and extract are simply remarkable to behold and experience. CHATEAU PONTET-CANET Proprietor Alfred Tesseron produces all his wines by wholly organic methods, a rarity in Bordeaux. A superstar wine from a property that borders Mouton Rothschild, it is outperforming its historic reputation. by perhaps the greatest degree in the whole of Bordeaux. Château Pontet-Canet 5ème Cru Classé 2000 215.00 Château Pontet-Canet 5ème Cru Classé 2005 245.00 Château Pontet-Canet 5ème Cru Classé 2010 290.00 ST JULIEN CHATEAU BEYCHEVELLE According to legend, the name Beychevelle came from the Gascon bêcha vêla, meaning lower the sails. This was a reference to the fact that ships passing by the château lowered their sails in deference and allegiance to Admiral Jean-Louis Nogaret de la Valette, the property s first owner under Henri III. To this day, Beychevelle has the prettiest and most dramatic impact on the riverbank of the Gironde estuary. Château Beychevelle 4ème Cru Classé 1999 139.00 Château Beychevelle 4ème Cru Classé 2000 289.00 Château Beychevelle 4ème Cru Classé 2003 199.00 Château Beychevelle 4ème Cru Classé 2005 209.00 Château Beychevelle 4ème Cru Classé 2008 175.00 Château Beychevelle 4ème Cru Classé 2009 185.00 Château Beychevelle 4ème Cru Classé 2010 185.00 Château Beychevelle 4ème Cru Classé 2012 159.00 Château Pichon Baron 2000 97pts This is a millennial Left Bank with the keys to the top drawer. It has an incredibly precise, mineral-driven bouquet with intense black fruit infused with cedar and graphite scents. It just reeks of Pauillac in an almost uncompromising, yet compelling manner. The palate is structured, stylish and effortless, extraordinarily pure and unerringly youthful. CHATEAU PICHON BARON Château Pichon Baron is one part of the split of the large Pichon estate. The fairytale château building and sumptuous label provide a glimpse of the beauty of the wine in the bottle. Occasionally overshadowed by the other half of the split, Château Pichon Lalande, the quality of more recent vintages. of this wine is providing ample indication that the two properties were once one. Château Pichon Baron 2ème Cru Classé 1989 275.00 Château Pichon Baron 2ème Cru Classé 1998 189.00 Château Pichon Baron 2ème Cru Classé 1999 209.00 Château Pichon Baron 2ème Cru Classé 2000 295.00 Château Pichon Baron 2ème Cru Classé 2003 249.00 Château Pichon Baron 2ème Cru Classé 2005 255.00 Château Pichon Baron 2ème Cru Classé 2006 198.00 Château Pichon Baron 2ème Cru Classé 2010 290.00 Château Pichon Baron 2ème Cru Classé 2011 185.00 Château Beychevelle 2009 93pts Opaque purple in color, with a beautiful, floral nose intermixed with black currant fruit, licorice, cedar wood and Christmas fruitcake. Full-bodied yet still elegant and pure, this wine has velvety tannins, a broad, savory mouthfeel, and a very long finish. CLOS DU MARQUIS Clos du Marquis is the second wine of Château Léoville Las Cases, cut from the same cloth and regularly a match for many high-classed growths. However, unlike with most second wines, the grapes actually come from a separate area of vineyards (rather than younger or less successful vines) surrounded. on all sides by other Second Growths. Clos du Marquis 2004 95.00 Clos du Marquis 2005 115.00 Clos du Marquis 2009 122.00 Clos du Marquis 2010 125.00 Château Pichon Lalande Comtesse 2009 95pts A beautiful effort. It is a deep purplehued, charming, surprisingly open-knit Pauillac with wonderful freshness, a plump, fleshy mouthfeel, opulence and unctuosity, medium to full body and a well-delineated, luscious style. Lovely served with roast beef, veal or venison. CHATEAU PICHON LALANDE COMTESSE Pichon Lalande is made with a relatively high proportion of Merlot, and renowned as providing a softer, more tender version of Pauillac. The quality in vintages from the mid-eighties onwards has been. nothing less than breathtaking. Château Pichon Lalande Comtesse 2ème Cru Classé 2003 229.00 Château Pichon Lalande Comtesse 2ème Cru Classé 2005 235.00 Château Pichon Lalande Comtesse 2ème Cru Classé 2009 265.00 Château Pichon Lalande Comtesse 2ème Cru Classé 2010 269.00 Château Pichon Lalande Comtesse 2ème Cru Classé 2011 189.00 Château Ducru Beaucaillou 2000 94pts This has mature hints, but there s great focus as the cedar, bay and leather notes race along with, rather than pull away from, the core of fig and blackberry fruit flavors. The long, bittersweet cocoadusted finish provides a solid bass line. CHATEAU DUCRU BEAUCAILLOU The name of this estate comes from the former owner, Mr. Ducru, and a description of the land it comprises: beau caillou literally means beautiful pebble. Pebbles and small stones permit good drainage of the soil, and their presence in the soils of the Médoc contributes hugely to the quality of the. wines.

FRANCE RED BORDEAUX FRANCE RED BORDEAUX Château Léoville Barton 2005 96pts Delivers breathtaking aromas of blackberry, currant, licorice and flowers. Full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and supersilky tannins. Dark chocolate, currant, berry and licorice follow through. This is racy and beautiful. Château Léoville Las Cases 2000 100pts Absolutely fantastic. This is one of the most exciting young reds I have tasted in a long, long time. It shows intense aromas of berries, currants and minerals, with hints of mint. Full-bodied and packed with fruit and tannins, its long finish is refined and silky. A benchmark for the vintage. Château Talbot 2006 91pts CHATEAU GLORIA Château Gloria was not around in the 1855 classification of Bordeaux Châteaux, and was therefore not graded. Whilst no one can really say what level it might have been awarded, most commentators agree. that Gloria offers tremendous value for money, and a great example of the St Julien style. Château Gloria Cru Bourgeois 2000 98.00 Château Gloria Cru Bourgeois 2010 95.00 Château Gloria Cru Bourgeois 2011 79.00 Fantastic with steak pie or stewed ox cheek. CHATEAU LEOVILLE BARTON Léoville Barton is owned by Anthony Barton, a gently unassuming man who thinks that all wine, including his own, should be for drinking, and not just investment. The result being that his goal is to make the best Cabernet Sauvignon dominated wine he can. Great value and classy style. in consequence.

The wines are monumental in every way.

Sweet, ripe and luscious, with earthy underbrush and blackberry flavors lingering impressively on the aftertaste. A very fleshy, ripe Giscours that remains precise and light on its feet thanks to harmonious acidity. Lovely wine. Château Kirwan 1998 90pts A sleeper of the vintage, the opaque purple-colored 1998 boasts a smoky, licorice, cassis, and mineral-scented bouquet. Full-bodied, powerful, yet elegant, it successfully balances complexity with an unbridled richness and power. Very impressive. Château Malescot St Exupéry 2000 95pts MARGAUX Château Pontac Lynch Cru Bourgeois 2012 36.00 CHATEAU GISCOURS The high percentage of Merlot in the blend accounts for the wine s depth and richness of flavour as well as its approachability in youth. A classic Margaux name, now fully revitalised and back to fulfilling its. colossal potential.

CHATEAU KIRWAN Mark Kirwan of Galway in Ireland gave his name to this Château back in the 18th century. The property's 40 hectares of vineyards have changed little in size and location since the 1855 classification. With heavy investment since the early 1990s, this Château has been totally revitalised and. is passing through something of a golden age. Château Kirwan 3ème Cru Classé 1996 85.00 Château Kirwan 3ème Cru Classé 1998 98.00 Château Kirwan 3ème Cru Classé 1999 99.00 Château Kirwan 3ème Cru Classé 2000 135.00 Château Kirwan 3ème Cru Classé 2003 125.00 Château Kirwan 3ème Cru Classé 2005 139.00 Château Kirwan 3ème Cru Classé 2006 115.00 CHATEAU MALESCOT ST EXUPERY Simon Malescot was King s Counsel to Louis XIV and Jean-Baptiste de St Exupéry was the grandfather of aviation pioneer and author, Antoine. The property is one of Margaux s prettiest and so is their wine. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon gives the wine a wonderful blackcurrant flavour and supple texture, whilst. the addition of Merlot lends softness and a rounded character. Château Malescot St Exupéry 3ème Cru Classé 1999 95.00 Château Malescot St Exupéry 3ème Cru Classé 2000 179.00 Château Malescot St Exupéry 3ème Cru Classé 2003 129.00 Château Malescot St Exupéry 3ème Cru Classé 2006 99.00 Château Malescot St Exupéry 3ème Cru Classé 2010 148.00 Château Malescot St Exupéry 3ème Cru Classé 2011 99.00 This displays blackberry, sweet tobacco and green coffee aromas. Full-bodied, with soft tannins and a caressing texture. This has a really lovely mouthfeel for the vintage. This estate, which has continued to impress me in recent years, hit a home run in 2000. A wine of extraordinary balance, equilibrium, and purity, with supple tannins, this medium to fullbodied, concentrated effort is already compelling. 38 39

FRANCE RED BORDEAUX Château Margaux 1996 100pts This is a Margaux that seems to light up the senses. It was outstanding in its youth... something that has not changed one bit over the intervening two decades. This may well turn out to be the Left Bank pinnacle of the 1990s. Château Palmer 2000 96pts Still tight, with a core of black currant, blackberry and plum fruit flavors that is quite youthful, while hints of dried anise, tobacco and singed alder are starting to peek through on the finish. There s a really vibrant iron note cutting through the finish too. Château Prieuré-Lichine 2009 93pts CHATEAU MARGAUX Possibly the most regal of Bordeaux s château buildings, Margaux is a byword for family-owned quality, panache and style. The softest and most approachable of the First Growth Châteaux, Margaux is a rounded, delicious wine that nevertheless reveals layer upon layer of spice, vanilla, smoke, fruit, coffee. and cedar complexity.

CHATEAU PALMER Boasting one of the most impressive château buildings in the Médoc (which alas has never been lived in), Palmer is widely regarded as the greatest Third Growth property and is more than occasionally believed. to have produced the wine of the vintage, not just in Margaux, but in the whole of the region.

The wines are soft, supple and rich with varietal character and a great sense. of Margaux.

Château Haut-Bailly 2010 98pts This quintessential example of pure finesse, elegance, harmony and delicacy is combined into a wine that lingers intensely with near-perfect poise and character. Château Haut Brion 2005 100pts GRAVES & PESSAC-LEOGNAN CHATEAU DE FIEUZAL De Fieuzal s red is a Cabernet Sauvignon dominated Pessac-Léognan of huge poise and finesse. This small property, owned by an Irish philanthropist, produces wines (both red and white) that punch considerably. above their weight. Château de Fieuzal Grand Cru Classé 1998 69.00 Château de Fieuzal Grand Cru Classé 1999 72.00 Château de Fieuzal Grand Cru Classé 2008 72.00 Château de Fieuzal Grand Cru Classé 2009 79.00 Slow-cooked beef stew in red wine with potato purée. CHATEAU HAUT-BAILLY Haut-Bailly is a Pessac property that is home to some of the oldest vines in Bordeaux. When phylloxera struck in the late 19th century, the owner at the time was against grafting onto American rootstock so the estate includes a 4 hectare plot of ungrafted vines that are over 100 years old.. The resulting wine is at last regaining its reputation as one of the very best.

It is therefore considered the forefather of the great Bordeaux growths. Naturally it was placed at the top of the famous 1855 Médoc Classification.. While I have always admired Haut-Brion, now I am addicted to its perfume and complexity. Robert.

Opulent and round with an attractive viscosity as well as outstanding purity, depth and length. With its elegance and finesse, it is not as powerful as La Mission, but the nobility and complexity of the aromatics, incredible fragrance (subtle smoke and blue, red, and black fruits) that persists in the glass, full-bodied mouthfeel (though very light and delicate on its feet), and incredible length characterize this great Haut-Brion. 40 41

FRANCE RED BORDEAUX FRANCE RED BORDEAUX Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2009 100pts The wine s remarkable concentration offers up an unctuous/viscous texture, a skyscraper-like mouthfeel, sweet, sumptuous, nearly over-the-top flavors and massive density. Perhaps a once in a lifetime La Mission-Haut-Brion. CHATEAU LA MISSION HAUT-BRION The neighbour of Haut Brion, with the same owner and under the same winemaking stewardship, somehow La Mission has only been recognised as producing the magnificent, pure and seamless wines it does relatively recently. It can still offer a saving on its more illustrious stable-mate but often produces. an equal, and more than occasionally superior, wine. Château La Mission Haut-Brion Grand Cru Classé 2000 865.00 Château La Mission Haut-Brion Grand Cru Classé 2005 790.00 Château La Mission Haut-Brion Grand Cru Classé 2006 390.00 Château La Mission Haut-Brion Grand Cru Classé 2008 339.00 Château La Mission Haut-Brion Grand Cru Classé 2009 945.00 CHATEAU PAPE CLEMENT Owned by the indomitable Bernard Magrez and under the oenological guidance of vinous magician Michel Rolland, Château Pape Clément is now making some extraordinarily brilliant wines. The. Château is enjoying a dramatic rise in popularity in consequence. Château Pape Clément Grand Cru Classé 1990 235.00 Château Pape Clément Grand Cru Classé 1995 149.00 Château Pape Clément Grand Cru Classé 1998 195.00 Château Pape Clément Grand Cru Classé 1999 175.00 Château Pape Clément Grand Cru Classé 2000 275.00 Château Pape Clément Grand Cru Classé 2003 190.00 Château Pape Clément Grand Cru Classé 2005 255.00 Château Pape Clément Grand Cru Classé 2011 149.00 Château Clinet 1995 96pts The blackberry, cassis liqueur-like fruit of this wine is awesome. The color is saturated black/purple, and the wine extremely full-bodied and powerful with layers of glycerin-imbued fruit, massive richness, plenty of licorice, blackberry, and cassis flavors, full body, and a thick, unctuous texture. CHATEAU CLINET A tiny production from this property which still offers excellent value compared to its neighbours. The. wines offer a massive, deeply extracted version of Merlot with full blown new oak treatment. Château Clinet 1995 229.00 Château Clinet 1999 185.00 Château Clinet 2000 245.00 Château Clinet 2011 148.00 CHATEAU LA CONSEILLANTE The La Conseillante vineyard lies on the very boundary between Pomerol and St Emilion, and one of its nearest neighbours is the St Emilion 1er Grand Cru estate Cheval Blanc, just across the road to the east. The wines are known for their lush, ripe fruit, velvety tannins and exceptional elegance and. purity. Château La Conseillante 2000 390.00 Château La Conseillante 2005 390.00 Château La Conseillante 2006 265.00 Château Pape Clément 2005 99pts Pape Clement s 2005 has an opaque purple color and smoky barbecue and chocolaty notes intermixed with cassis and blackberries. There is also some underlying minerality in this full-bodied, super-concentrated wine, which has wonderfully sweet, well-integrated tannins. RIGHT BANK POMEROL Clos l'eglise 1999 169.00 Domaine de l Eglise 2009/10 63.00 Château Mazeyres 2012/14 40.00 Vieux Château Certan 1999 190.00 Delicious with blanquette de veau. Château La Conseillante 2000 96pts A deep ruby/plum/purple color and an unbelievably expressive nose of sweet kirsch liqueur intermixed with raspberries, incense, toast, and licorice. Full-bodied yet ethereal in the sense that it seems to combine power along with eloquence and delicacy, this is a beautifully pure wine. CHATEAU L EGLISE-CLINET This small 5.5 hectare vineyard has been in the hands of the same family for over a century. Thanks to his vines averaging 40 years old, Denis Durantou makes wines that fully express the complexity of this exceptional clay-gravel terroir. Château L Eglise-Clinet 1995 245.00 Château L Eglise-Clinet 2000 490.00 Château L Eglise-Clinet 2004 190.00 Château L Eglise-Clinet 2005 490.00 Tournedos Rossini - steak with foie gras and black truffles. CHATEAU L EVANGILE L Evangile consistently produces very fine Pomerol and its best vintages are amongst the very best of the entire commune, if not the whole of Bordeaux. It comes as little surprise to discover that the property. is owned by Lafite Rothschild. Château L Evangile 1995 220.00 Château L Evangile 2006 245.00 Château L Evangile 2010 365.00 Château Certan de May 2005 95+pts CHATEAU CERTAN DE MAY The French Revolution led to the division of the Certan domain, leaving the de May family with a small parcel of the original property, then called Petit-Certan. 70% Merlot in the vineyards, and the production. just about reaches 2000 cases in a good year. Château Certan de May 1998 155.00 Château Certan de May 1999 99.00 Château Certan de May 2003 165.00 Château Certan de May 2005 198.00 Château Certan de May 2010 219.00 Château L Evangile 2010 98pts CHATEAU LA FLEUR-PETRUS This charming estate is located between Pétrus and Château La Fleur, and delivers all the pedigree and quality that this enviable position suggests. Hardly surprising as, like Trotanoy, it is owned and managed. by the supremely talented Christian Moueix. Château La Fleur-Pétrus 1998 398.00 Château La Fleur-Pétrus 1999 295.00 Château La Fleur-Pétrus 2000 395.00 Château La Fleur-Pétrus 2005 390.00 Château La Fleur-Pétrus 2009 395.00 Beautiful coffee, cedar wood, Christmas fruitcake, black cherry and blackcurrant fruit jump from the glass of this full-bodied, rich, multi-layered, and very impressive Certan de May. This is a beauty. Stunningly rich and black/purple in color, the 2010 L Evangile offers up the tell-tale floral note as well as black raspberry jam intermixed with cassis and kirsch. There are also ethereal floral notes and a hint of background oak. 42 43

FRANCE RED BORDEAUX FRANCE RED BORDEAUX CHATEAU GAZIN Neighbouring Pétrus and Evangile, Gazin offers great value for such a well situated Pomerol. The label reflects the fact that the property was originally a farm belonging to the Knights Hospitaliers of St John. in the Middle Ages. Château Gazin 1999 149.00 Château Gazin 2003 168.00 Château Gazin 2005 210.00 Château Gazin 2010 175.00 ST EMILION Château Belregard-Figeac Grand Cru 2009 30.00 Le Dôme Grand Cru 2005 190.00 Château Fombrauge Grand Cru Classé 2010 47.00 Château Gazin 2005 96+pts An inky plum/purple color, stunning concentration, a boatload of tannin, and unlimited upside potential. Sweet cassis, plum, vanilla and truffle notes are followed by a dense, deep, profound wine with blackcurrant and black cherry fruit, high extraction, and a multilayered texture. Roast duck or even Chinese style duck pancakes. CHATEAU NENIN Owned by the proprietors of St Julien s superstar Léoville Las Cases, and featuring a rather high percentage of Cabernet Franc for a Pomerol estate, this is the most left bank-like of the wines from the. commune. Château Nénin 1995 82.00 Château Nénin 1998 79.00 Château Nénin 2004 69.00 Château Nénin 2005 109.00 Château Angélus 2005 100pts This sensational, opaque, bluish/purple wine offers up notes of vanillia, spring flowers, blueberry and blackberry liqueur, plus a touch of licorice. It is full-bodied, multidimensional and layered. Delicious with steak or cheese-based pasta dishes. CHATEAU ANGELUS Château Angélus was officially recognized as a Premier Grand Cru Classé in 1996. It has consistently delivered superb wines ever since. Powerful and massive, it has concentrated blackcurrant, redcurrant and leather on the palate given structure by firm tannins which soften with time. As. with almost all St Emilion wines, this is made principally from Merlot. Château Angélus 1er Grand Cru Classé A 1998 390.00 Château Angélus 1er Grand Cru Classé A 1999 385.00 Château Angélus 1er Grand Cru Classé A 2000 685.00 Château Angélus 1er Grand Cru Classé A 2003 495.00 Château Angélus 1er Grand Cru Classé A 2005 595.00 Château Angélus 1er Grand Cru Classé A 2010 499.00 Pétrus 2000 100pts Extremely full-bodied, with great fruit purity, an unmistakable note of underbrush, black truffle, intense black cherries, licorice, and mulberry, the wine seems to show no evidence of oak whatsoever. It has a sumptuous, unctuous texture, plenty of tannin, but also vibrancy and brightness. PETRUS Probably the greatest and certainly the most famous red wine in all of Bordeaux, and perhaps the world. Because of their extraordinarily rigorous selection (sometimes they only use 50% of the crop), Pétrus consistently make the best possible wine every vintage. This impacts on the quantity produced each. year (between 1000 and 3000 cases only) but maintains the wine s legendary reputation. Pétrus 1995 2,665.00 Pétrus 1996 2,495.00 Pétrus 2000 4,690.00 Pétrus 2003 2,990.00 Pétrus 2004 2,770.00 Pétrus 2005 3,990.00 Pétrus 2006 2,995.00 Pétrus 2009 3,965.00 Pétrus 2011 2,975.00 Pétrus 2012 3,175.00 Château Ausone 1995 96pts Flower and berry character, with hints of clove and black pepper. Full-bodied and very rich, with decadent flavors. Oozes with ripe fruit. Goes on and on. Fabulous. CHATEAU AUSONE Ausone is one of St Emilion s finest properties, and its breeding and pedigree stand out with every vintage. Whilst the rarity and price means that Ausone will only ever be available to a select few, the. quality ensures that those who do invest will not be disappointed. Château Ausone 1er Grand Cru Classé A 1990 790.00 Château Ausone 1er Grand Cru Classé A 1995 860.00 Château Ausone 1er Grand Cru Classé A 1998 990.00 Château Ausone 1er Grand Cru Classé A 2005 1,749.00 CHATEAU BEAU-SEJOUR BECOT Beau-Séjour Bécot is in the upper echelon of Bordeaux right bank producers but, unusually, the property lost but then regained its Premier Grand Cru status as a result of vineyard acquisition. It was relegated to Grand Cru Classé after the incorporation of some non Premier Grand Cru vineyards, but having proven that they could produce not just typical, but great St Emilion wine, in. 1996 it was reinstated as a Premier Grand Cru and deservedly so. Château Beau-Séjour Bécot 1er Grand Cru Classé 1999 69.00 Château Beau-Séjour Bécot 1er Grand Cru Classé 2000 169.00 Château Beau-Séjour Bécot 1er Grand Cru Classé 2003 135.00 Château Beau-Séjour Bécot 1er Grand Cru Classé 2005 145.00 Château Beau-Séjour Bécot 1er Grand Cru Classé 2010 119.00 Château Trotanoy 1998 97pts CHATEAU TROTANOY Trotanoy has 7.2 hectares of mainly Merlot vines, just west of Château Pétrus and owned by the same family,. so the comparison with the greatest of Pomerol s properties is almost complete. Château Trotanoy 1996 225.00 Château Trotanoy 1998 455.00 Château Trotanoy 1999 225.00 Château Trotanoy 2000 295.00 Château Trotanoy 2005 290.00 Château Beau-Séjour Bécot 2005 94+pts Very sweet, plummy fruit on the nose, with hints of milk chocolate and spices. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a big, juicy palate. A subtle wine that builds on the palate. It s sort of like a weight-lifting ballerina. Really impressive. A beautiful wine from Beau-Séjour Bécot, the color of the 2005 is an opaque purple and the wine is loaded with notes of cedar wood, Asian spice, blackberry and cassis fruit. 44 45

FRANCE RED BORDEAUX FRANCE RED BORDEAUX Château Cheval Blanc 2005 100pts CHATEAU CHEVAL BLANC What really sets Cheval Blanc apart is its unusual mixture of grape varieties planted as a result of its position on the gravel outcrop that dominates St Emilion. The main grape is Cabernet Franc, augmented by the more expected Merlot and only a minuscule amount of Cabernet Sauvignon. The. origin of the White Horse name is lost in time. Château Cheval Blanc 1er Grand Cru Classé A 1982 1,445.00 Château Cheval Blanc 1er Grand Cru Classé A 1986 649.00 Château Cheval Blanc 1er Grand Cru Classé A 1988 675.00 Château Cheval Blanc 1er Grand Cru Classé A 1989 745.00 Château Cheval Blanc 1er Grand Cru Classé A 1995 755.00 Château Cheval Blanc 1er Grand Cru Classé A 1996 698.00 Château Cheval Blanc 1er Grand Cru Classé A 2000 1,190.00 Château Cheval Blanc 1er Grand Cru Classé A 2003 689.00 Château Cheval Blanc 1er Grand Cru Classé A 2005 1,099.00 Château Cheval Blanc 1er Grand Cru Classé A 2006 790.00 Château Cheval Blanc 1er Grand Cru Classé A 2010 1,295.00 Château La Gaffelière 2009 95pts CHATEAU LA GAFFELIERE Still in the hands of the Malet Roquefort family after more than three centuries, Château La Gaffelière is one of the oldest family-owned properties in St Emilion. A leper colony existed in the area during the medieval period, hence the name Gaffelière, deriving from the old French word gaffet meaning leper. Today the vineyards comprise 22 hectares with an enviable position between those of Château.. Ausone and Château Pavie. Château La Gaffelière 1er Grand Cru Classé 2003 125.00 Château La Gaffelière 1er Grand Cru Classé 2009 165.00 Serve with partridge or pheasant and dishes containing mushrooms or truffles. This is another fabulous wine and a perfect expression for this vintage. It is difficult to forget the gorgeous blueberry and raspberry fruit, full body, sweet tannin, a multi-layered texture, and purity and palate presence of this stunning wine. 2009 is one of the all time great Gaffelieres produced.the 2009 reveals compelling elegance, tremendous intensity and oppulence and more viscosity than one normally sees. Lots of kirsch, licorice, incence, truffle, asphalt, blackberry and cassis notes dominate the aromatics and flavours of this full-bodied, flamboyantly pure St Emilion. CHATEAU TROPLONG MONDOT The late Christine Valette totally restored and revived the venerable Troplong Mondot estate with its 33 hectares of prime land in the heart of St Emilion. The vineyards are managed sustainably without the use of pesticides and around a third of the vineyards are cultivated only with horses. It came as no surprise in 1996 when the wines were elevated to 1er Grand Cru Classé status where they have remained. ever since. Château Troplong Mondot 1er Grand Cru Classé 1990 390.00 Château Troplong Mondot 1er Grand Cru Classé 1999 95.00 Château Troplong Mondot 1er Grand Cru Classé 2000 245.00 Château Troplong Mondot 1er Grand Cru Classé 2005 395.00 Château Troplong Mondot 1er Grand Cru Classé 2006 189.00 CHATEAU LA COUSPAUDE La Couspaude is one of the most famous garagiste properties in St Emilion, although in this case the wine is made at a château and not in a garage! The production is tiny, and the awards are coming thick and fast - this is truly a wine estate in the ascendancy offering wonderful examples of concentrated,. Merlot dominated wines. Château La Couspaude Grand Cru Classé 2000 119.00 Château La Couspaude Grand Cru Classé 2003 98.00 Château La Couspaude Grand Cru Classé 2005 125.00 Château La Couspaude 2000 92pts Serious wine. Loads of chocolate, raspberry and cherry character. Full-bodied, with lots of vanilla and reduced raspberry flavors. Long and caressing. Modern and exciting. Best Couspaude I have ever tasted.

Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie are the stars of the north, needing at least a decade to show at their best.

ITALY PIEDMONT Located in the north west of Italy, Piedmont has a continental climate influenced by its proximity to both the Alps and the Ligurian Apennines. Since Roman times, Piedmont has been considered the fine wine capital of Italy and has the country s highest proportion of DOC and DOCG wines even though it only accounts for 7% of its production. TUSCANY Italy s oldest wine region, Tuscany is also its 5th largest producing the third highest amount of DOC/DOCG quality wines despite only producing around 6% of the country s volume of wine. This is largely due to the region s poor soils which encourage producers to grow small yields of high quality grapes. Home to more than 2000 grape varieties and some of the oldest wine regions in the world, Italy produces more wine than any other country with the 2016 harvest reaching 48.8 million hectolitres. Italy has over 1 million vineyards under cultivation, producing wines from almost every region, renowned worldwide for their broad variety. Each region has its own style with the most significant in terms of both quantity and quality being Piedmont, Tuscany and Veneto. Italy s best-known grapes are Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Pinot Grigio, Barbera and Montepulciano alongside international varietals, in particular Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Gavi DOCG is Piedmont s best-known dry white wine made from the Cortese grape grown around the town of Gavi itself. Whites are also made from the indigenous Roero near the town of Arneis. Tuscany has a unique terrain with more than two thirds of it being hilly which benefits the predominant grape variety, Sangiovese, as it needs direct sunlight to ripen fully. Two of Italy s most famous wines are found in Tuscany Chianti and Nebbiolo is the king of red wine grapes in Piedmont and is Brunello di Montalcino. planted on all of the best sites.

ITALY RED ITALY / GREECE Solengo Argiano 1997 94pts This wine boasts amazing richness, a huge, full-bodied impact on the palate (yet no sense of heaviness), low acidity, gorgeous ripeness, and a finish that lasts for 35+ seconds.

A relatively new project for Argiano, Solengo was started by the late renowned oeneologist Giacomo Tachis and now continues to be the work of the very talented Argiano team. This is a wine that demonstrates the perfect match between Tuscan soil and the French grape varieties.. Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Syrah. Solengo Argiano Toscana 1997 189.00 Solengo Argiano Toscana 1998 144.00 Ideal with red meats and strong flavoured cheeses. SOLAIA Solaia (derived from the Italian word for sun) was first produced in 1978 from a parcel of Cabernet within the Tignanello vineyard that was deemed to be of such high quality that the Marchese decided to vinify it seperately. Since then the quantity has increased from the original 3,600 bottles and the Solaia vineyard now consists of 20ha. Solaia is only produced in the best vintages and truly reflects.. its terroir. An elegant and captivating wine from the Antinori stable.

In time, the 2010 will be recognized as one of the all-time legendary Solaias. Actually, it already is. TIGNANELLO Antinori's flagship wine, Tignanello, was the first wine in Tuscany to blend the local Sangiovese with non-traditional varieties, and became one of the focal points of the Tuscan revolution that occurred over the latter part of the 20th century. A blend of 80% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, aged for 12 months in small oak barriques, this classic Super-Tuscan combines Chianti-like.. suppleness with Bordeaux-esque style.

It also seems nicely concentrated this year. Tignanello Antinori 2008 94pts Unquestionably one of the wines of the vintage. The 2008 isn t a huge or obvious Tignanello, rather it is a wine that impresses for its sublime elegance and precision. Understated layers of fruit caress the palate like cashmere in this impeccable, soft wine. 62 63

SPAIN SPAIN Spain is the third largest producer of wines in the world with over a million acres under vine, more than any other country. Given the diversity of the country s landscape and climates, and the fact that Spain is home to 60 regional DOs, it s hardly surprising that it produces wines in a variety of styles. From the fresh whites made from Albariño in Rías Baixas to top end reds from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, there is a huge amount of exciting wine available, offering fantastic value for money. RIOJA Spain s most famous wine region, Rioja is situated in the north of the country just south of the Cantabrian Mountains. The wines are normally a blend of grapes, the majority being Tempranillo with some Garnacha and Graciano. Traditional style Rioja is distinguished by long periods of barrel ageing, whereas the modern style favours the fruit and freshness of Tempranillo. Rioja is only ever released onto the market when it is ready to drink and as such, offers incredible value for money. Rías Baixas Albariño Pazo de Señorans Selección Añada 2008 92pts The nose is super, very complex with aromas of pollen, beeswax and fennel, petrol, wet granite, flowers, musky apples, and something spicey.

Established in 1989, this family run business has been instrumental in the creation of the Rías Baixas DO.

NEW ZEALAND SOUTH AFRICA Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has become synonymous with New Zealand and is now a brand in its own right. There is far more to the wine industry here than just Sauvignon however - fantastic Pinot Noir from Central Otago, Syrah from Hawkes Bay and Chardonnay from Marlborough all displaying a purity of fruit unique to New Zealand. Thanks to the hard work of several very talented winemakers and the privatisation of the statecontrolled winemaking co-operative, the South African wine industry has taken a huge change in direction in the last 20 years. Previously known for cheap wines that often ended up being distilled into brandy before hitting the shelves, the now vibrant industry is earning a reputation for some of the most exciting wines on the market. South Africa is famous for Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon as well as the indigenous Pinotage.

Since then, Marlborough has risen to become New Zealand s leading wine region, as well as one of the finest winemaking locations in the world.
