Crafted by Branaire Ducru, the 4th Growth from St-Julien of Bordeaux, Le Haut-Médoc de Branaire-Ducru Haut Medoc 2016 delivers a perfect Médoc classic, with a powerful, ripe nose full of class and freshness, where the toasted notes of the aging are intimately linked to a dense and juicy fruit. The palate is very balanced, fleshy, with a noble and suitable woodiness.

The oldest wine house in the Champagne region (Aÿ, 1584), Gosset consistently produces “finely sculpted” wines of “striking clarity and precision” (Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate). High-quality fruit sourced almost entirely from grand-cru and premier-cru vineyards brings richness and complexity to the fore. Malolactic fermentation is avoided to allow for a profoundly fresh, pure, fruit-forward, and aromatic expression, as well as a more dynamic attack. Purely Chardonnay-based, it is the first edition of Gosset Celebris Blanc de Blancs Vintage. It boasts elegant notes of citrus fruit and white flowers.

If you want to understand more about Barolo and Nebbiolo, Ceretto is the benchmark label. Ceretto, founded in the 1930s, is Barolo’s unofficial ambassador. After proving that Barolo is one of the world’s great wines, the producer was the region’s first to acquire vineyard plots, and went on to pioneer premium single vineyard wines. Ceretto's Barolo 'Bricco Rocche' is a wine of great complexity and aristocratic elegance, born in the highest vineyard in the town of Castiglione Falletto and aged for 24 months in oak barrels. It expresses rich, deep aromas of jammy wild berries, chocolate and sweet spices. A refined freshness and a pleasant tannic texture support the long, articulate, juicy taste.

Domaine Michel Noëllat is a historic Burgundy producer, founded in the 19th century by Felix Noëllat. Today, it is run by 5th generation family members Alain and Jean-Marc Noëllat, and the 6th generation of Sebastien Noëllat and Sophie Noëllat-Sirugue.   The Noëllat family is the centre of an extraordinary network of connected families across the Côte de Nuits. The estate is well connected geographically too;  based in Vosne-Romanée, with the cellars directly opposite Clos de Réas, they are close to Domaine Leroy. Deep colour and elegant nose with many layers of fruit, spices and forest floor, the palate is fresh, with a present and friendly tannin. A fine and harmonious wine.

The historic Napanook Vineyard, one of the oldest vineyards in the Napa Valley that has been in production since the late 19th century, is the home of Christian Moueix of Chateau Petrus' Dominus. Located in the heart of Napa Valley, Dominus is an iconic wine that never lacks bold intensity and power. The vineyard’s volcanic, well-draining soils are specifically suited to growing Bordeaux varietals, and winemaker Tod Mostero vinifies each dry-farmed parcel separately. Attention to detail is unparalleled, with minimal intervention allowing the terroir to fully express itself in the wine. This throws off dense kirsch and linzer torte aromas and flavors, along with a mix of smoldering tobacco, leather and licorice root hints that provide a brooding edge on the back end. Surprisingly backward and impressively done.
