A cult wine, Rose et Or Rosé 2018, is vibrantly expressive, a concentrate of clean, appetizing flavours that are a mixture of white peaches, grapefruit and spices. Very intense on the palate, the wine remains fresh from start to finish and is supported by a lovely, powerful and refined weave. This is a gastronomic rosé, ideal with seafood, raw or marinated fish, or strawberry soup with basil.

With this Pauillac 2011, Château Pontet-Canet offers us a bottle that has marked the vintage. Bettane & Desseauve crowned it "one of the best from all of the Médoc". After tasting it, our experts concur - this is indeed a high-calibre wine, the result of a meticulous sorting of the grapes in the vineyards and in the winery, where the slow oxygenation of the wines in barrel has polished the tannins giving them a seductive charm. The wine's energy and density remain impressive. Pontet Canet is one sexy bottle of wine which rivals its illustrious neighbour Mouton, yet remains within a reasonable price range that will delight fans of the Grands Crus Classés.

Château Smith Haut Lafitte 2001 is a Pessac-Léognan of exemplary maturity. With its freshness preserved by the natural tension of the Sauvignon, bringing with it notes of grapefruit and exotic passion fruit and fresh mango overtones, this 2001 is a real treat for the senses! The palate preserves a lovely consistency, a balance in which the oak is smoothly integrated, and a soft mixture of purity and elegance, the indelible signature of a "grand vin".

Lemon, white flowers, acacia honey: the Anjou white 2016 releases deliciously intense aromas over a fresh, thirst-quenching, fleshy structure.

Château Léoville Poyferré - Saint-Julien - Rouge - 2014
The 2014 vintage can be described as a prodigious succession of sweetness, humidity, warmth and sunshine that gives this cru great quality. The extended late summer allowed the grapes to ripen to perfection. These conditions have made this a harmonious wine with elegant, polished tannins and dense, fleshy fruit. It can still keep for many years which will give it time to acquire even greater complexity.

Dauvergne Ranvier - Côte Rôtie - Face Sud - Rouge - 2015
Part of their single vineyard selections, this Côte Rôtie Face Sud comes from a small steep slope planted with Syrah. Thanks to a gentle vinification, short ageing and bottling without filtration, this is a Syrah at its very best, without artifice. It shows honest, rich and well-crafted fruit that explodes on the palate in a warm style set off by the silky tannins. It is best decanted in order to fully appreciate the lovely soft character of this exceptional bottle of wine.

Louis Jadot - Bourgogne - Couvent des Jacobins - Blanc - 2016
With a gorgeous light yellow hue, the Bourgogne Couvent des Jacobins Blanc 2016 is the perfect example of a Chardonnay from Burgundy. After opening with scents of lush yellow fruit, white flowers and notes of brioche, it reveals a well-balanced and very fine substance. A fresh and vibrant wine, a bringer of pleasure par excellence!

Château Suduiraut - Sauternes - Blanc - 2011
Thanks to a very meticulous selection of the grapes, the Sauternes 2011 delivers intense aromas of candied apricots, currants and undergrowth. On the palate, the balance between the sweetness of the sugar and the tension of the acidity shows a remarkable harmony that is reflected through the very long finish on the palate and the seductive richness.
