Description

2006 Vieux Château Certan, Pomerol, BordeauxThe modest, but enormously talented Alexandre Thienpont has produced a sublime 2006 VCC (as it is known) with a finesse and silkiness rarely found outside top Grand Cru Red Burgundy. As usual, this is no blockbuster but has a piercing intensity, alongside great balance and harmony. Its attractive, pure, perfumed nose is followed by round, but very fine, crisp, sweet, crushed raspberry fruit, silky tannins and a lovely lively creaminess. Only 3000

Margaux's Wine Director spoke to us about how pleased he was with the 2001 and that this was an older-fashioned vintage style - they were not looking to imitate 2000 but wanted to concentrate on purity and variety of flavours

fat and huge

beautifully poised palate with a generosity and concentration rarely seen in 2007

11% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot

and lovely balance

The 1996 Vosne-Romanée Cros Parantoux 1er Cru should be considered a success for the vintage for Emmanuel Rouget

As expected

The accessible bouquet was redolent of plum

this is just beginning to drink well now

We are excited to launch this special Champagne Rosé Extra Brut made by our friends at Leclerc Briant

leather and wood smoke

with great vinosity throughout
