Chateau L'Arrosee
The Chateau L'Arrosee 2000 is a splendid representation of the renowned Saint-Émilion region in Bordeaux, France. This vintage, produced by the esteemed Chateau L'Arrosee, is a true testament to their expertise and passion for winemaking. Upon pouring, the wine reveals a deep, ruby red hue with glimmers of purple. On the nose, notes of ripe red fruits such as cherries and plums intertwine with hints of tobacco and cedar. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with a perfect balance of tannins and acidity. Flavors of dark berries, cassis, and subtle spices are present, leading to a long and elegant finish. This wine is a true delight and pairs beautifully with red meats, hearty stews, and rich cheeses. Enjoy now or cellar for further aging.

Château d'Armailhac Pauillac
A famous 5th growth Bordeaux from the classic appellation of Pauillac that has undergone many name changes over its life. Starting life as Mouton d'Armailhac before changing in 1956 to Mouton Baron Philippe which changed to Baronne to commemorate the Baron's second wife. In 1991, the Baron's daughter decided to give the Château an original name to separate it from the other Mouton's and Château d'Armailhac was born. Situated across the road from the famous Mouton, the estate is run separately, but with equal care. Wines of great concentration and intensity are produced, as one would expect from such pedigree. The 2009 is the perfect example of this with a wine of fantastic intensity and concentration. One of the finest d'Armailhac's is living memory, swathes of blueberry, roasted meats and espresso coffee characters are present early and will only further develop with careful ageing over the next 20 years.
Château Duhart-Milon Pauillac
Left in a sorry state by the previous owners, in 1962 the Rothschilds of Lafite took over the property and begun to reconstruct the vineyard which was planted mostly to Petit Verdot. 4 decades later and the wines of Château Duhart-Milon are now showing the flavour and concentration you expect from such a site in Pauillac.
Château Brane-Cantenac Margaux
Château Brane-Cantenac sits in a prime position on the plateau of Cantenac and makes full use of its excellent terroir. No doubt something that Baron de Brane was aware of and along with his viticultural talents were the reasons behind the estates rise to fame. Now tended by the Lurton family, the wines continue to be in great hands. Of the 2009 vintage, Henri Lurton is known to have said that the winery was enveloped in aromas of raspberry and blackberry even before fermentation began! Even though fruit ripeness is an obvious trait, the balance and structure of the wine are also clearly evident which will see the wine age for a decade or two more.
