The 1959 Jacques Darcel & Co 6000ml from Bordeaux, France is a true testament to the region's exceptional winemaking. This vintage, produced by the esteemed Jacques Darcel & Co, showcases a deep, ruby red color that captures the essence of its age. On the nose, this wine offers a complex bouquet of ripe blackberries, plums, and cherries, infused with hints of tobacco and leather. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, with bold tannins that give way to a velvety finish. The layers of dark fruit flavors are complemented by a touch of spice, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. This 1959 vintage is a true masterpiece that has aged beautifully, making it a must-try for any wine enthusiast. Enjoy this wine now or cellar for years to come to continue to unlock its full potential.

This is a complex blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc finished with Carmenere and Petit Verdot - flavours and perfume are thus layered, intense, detailed and glorious. A cavalcade of fruit, spice, earth, savouriness and beautiful wood handling. The estate is managed by Patrick Leon, whose talents are writ large in the finesse of handling the complex array of fruit, and judicious use of winemaking technique to elicit this most elegant yet finely wrought style. It's relative approachability is another key to this wines excellence.

Another terrific success for the flagship estate (a 92-acre vineyard situated on the famed limestone and clay-rich slopes of Cote Pavie) of Chantal and Gerard Perse, the 2011 Pavie is composed of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. 2011 may be the biggest, richest, most massive wine of the vintage. With thrilling levels of concentration, tremendous purity, high but sweet tannin, a skyscraper-like mouthfeel, and terrific intensity, depth and palate presence, this larger-than-life effort will require 5-8 years of cellaring, and should age effortlessly over the following 25-30 years.

A dark purple colour already shows the depth of this vintage. Refined and floral aromas on the nose with red fruits combined with a delicate and precise oak. Dense, silky and fleshy on the palate with a great elegance of fine tannins. A deep length finishing with black fruits. This racy Talbot is very promising!
