Bruno Colin Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru 'La Truffière'
Château Calon-Ségur Saint-Estèphe
Château Calon-Ségur is the northernmost of all the Grand Cru Classés in the Médoc and in the 18th century the house belonged to the famous Marquis de Ségur and while he was the proprietor of Lafite and Latour, it was always said that his heart was at Calon. That is why we still see a heart shape on the labels. The 2009 sees the wine contain the highest proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon in its history (90%) which has delivered probably the most structured of all of the Estèphe's. There is a core of sweetness, yet the fantastic purity and earthen nature of the back palate is what sets it apart.

Egon Muller Scharzhof Scharzhofberger Riesling Kabinett
Egon Muller Scharzhof Scharzhofberger Riesling Kabinett 2009 is a tangy Riesling with loads of citrus, lime juice and sherbert/whizz fizz flavours. Classy but understated and light on its feet. Quite sweet, but not cloying.

Giaconda Estate Vineyard Chardonnay
Golden hue with a bright green rim. A complex signature of reductive characters; meal, the 'good dirt' and matchstick complimenting hazelnut and peach notes infused with lemon zest and ginger. The palate is taut and compact with a strong mineral edge drawing out white peach fruit. A powerful and assertive example of Chardonnay that combines multifaceted flavours with latent power. The finish is compelling: minerality and acidity combine to a rapier-sharp finish.
