Classic Cab Franc notes of fresh capsicum and pencil shavings on the nose, fresh and clean on the palate with delicious red berry fruits.

Malbec 50%, Cabernet Franc 20%, Cabernet Sauvignon 20%, Merlot 10% all co-fermeted, 30% of which in large old oak barrels, it's another beauty from the Michelini madhouse (Gerardo). Inky black purple colour; really forward and fresh on a nose redolent of black cherries and blackcurrants. Big and powerful but silky in texture and amazingly approchable for such a young wine. Gorgeous.

In each of the three ranges from this winery - Serbal, Catalpa and Atamisque - there is a blend, an assemblage. Catalpa Assemblage is comprised of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec in varying proportions depending on the vintage. 60% of this wine is aged for 12 months in new French oak barrels, 40% in stainless steel prior to blending and a further 6 months in bottle prior to release. Crafted in a fairly extravagant style this is a lovely, plump, velvet textured delight with clever use of oak in evidence, capable of developing very nicely for 8 - 10 years.

Expresivo is harvested from Gualtallary Terroir, which translates in mineral notes, firm fine grained tannins and great length. This wine has aromas
of blackberry, peppercorn tree with balanced natural acidity.

Colour: Dark garnet red
Bouquet: dark berry fruits with undertones of dried herbs and cigar box.
Palate: Elegant and refined with lovely berry fruits framed by supple savory tannins.
Grapes were destemmed, sorted and crushed into small batches for ferment. Wines were fermented with wild yeast, gaining layered complexity. Extended time on skins post fermentation gave the wine greater depth and savoury characteristics. The wine was pressed, and racked to oak for maturation. It was then left to evolve in oak for 16 months before blending for bottling.

Tannat softened down with Cabernet Franc – Great weight and density, with power from tannins but fruit and supple juiciness from blackberry and black cherry notes.

Hints of earthiness and smokiness add to the complexity on the finish. Soft, supple and ready to drink now.

This is a very consistent wine with plenty of soft, open, easy-going blackcurrant fruit and hints of spice and vanilla oak on the finish.

Acquired by Antoine Moueix in 1953, Château Tauzinat L'Hermitage is now managed by Claire Moueix, a young talented winegrower who represents the latest generation in this family vintage. The nine hectares of vineyard, planted with 85% Merlot and the rest in Cabernet Franc, extend over the municipalities of Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes and Saint-Hippolyte, with a beautiful clay-limestone soil on limestone bedrock to asteria.

As for the name of the domain, it comes from the Tauzins oaks that border the property, a species famous for the truffles that grow nearby. Some fine gourmets will also see the promise of a magical culinary match…

Tauzinat L'Hermitage produces a charming, supple and generous wine with heather, cherry, strawberry and blackberry notes, sometimes finely chocolatey, with elegant oak.

Made from 100-year-old cabernet franc vines, growing on unique limestone and clay soil, this wine is dense and extremely complex. A magnificent example of a fine Loire red from what is arguably Chinon's greatest producer.

High octane Cabernet Franc at its best. A treat. Decant.

Slender and fresh with stony minerality, blackberries, wild raspberries and a green hint of wild blueberry bushes and compost.

Classic, weighty Claret from St Estephe.
