The 2016 Brane-Cantenac is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Carmenere picked from 22 September until 17 October (the tiny parcel of Carmenere picked three days later). The yields came in at 51 hectoliters per hectare and it is matured in 75% new oak and 25% one-year-old barrels, the final alcohol level 13.3%. It has a beautifully defined, very detailed bouquet with mineral-rich black fruit laced with cedar and graphite notes, living up to its nom de plume as the Pauillac of Margaux. The palate is simply the best that I have ever tasted at the estate, without question. This has presence, but also weightlessness, filigree tannin and perfectly pitched acidity, with real intensity and drive. The tension here is outstanding and the persistence is incredibly long. It is not the showiest of all the 2016s by a long stretch, and yet it is everything you could possibly want from a Margaux. Like Beychevelle this year, the 2016 Brane-Cantenac puts recent vintages in the shade, thanks not only to the growing season, but also a new punching down system in their gravity-fed winery that was completed in 2015. The 2016 is a benchmark against which future vintages will be compared.Inc. VAT£1,909.36 -

Derived exclusively from the château's holdings on the deep gravel soils of the plateau of Brane, the 2019 Brane-Cantenac has turned out brilliantly and merits a special effort to seek out. Wafting from the glass with aromas of wild berries, pencil shavings, violets, sweet loamy soil and cardamon, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with lively acids, ripe tannins and a beautifully seamless, perfumed profile. Retaining all the estate's signature elegance but with an extra dimension of depth and intensity, it's the finest Brane-Cantenac of the modern era and one of the great successes of the 2019 vintage.Inc.

Easily one of the best wines of the appellation. Red rose petal fragrance, damp earth, rosemary, baking spice, sandalwood, incense, graphite and slate. Exceptional balance, deep chocolate and mint character, with lush damson and cassis fruits. Crushed violet flowers and salted cracker salinity, extremely impressive. Owner Henri Lurton has experience of making wine overseas, in Baja California, which may have given insights into viticultural techniques n the heat, but the real key here is the old vine Cabernet Sauvignon planted in the 1950s and 1960s by his late father Lucien Lurton. 100% new oak, from 8 coopers, and the meticulous approach to oak ageing care of technical director Christophe Capdeville is also important. 42% of production in the 1st wine.

This magnificent, dense plum/purple-colored Pessac-Leognan reveals notes of scorched earth, burning embers, blackberries and truffles. Composed of Merlot and Cabernet Franc from a vineyard gorgeously situated between Malartic Lagraviere and Haut-Bailly, it possesses full-bodied power, a stunningly intense, voluptuous, layered mouthfeel and abundant levels of fruit, glycerin and tannin. The 2009 ranks alongside the magnificent 2000, which is aging at a glacial pace. Unfortunately, proprietress Helene Garcin only produces around 500 cases of this somewhat cult-ish Pessac-Leognan.

A luxury cuvée from this tiny, 15-acre vineyard in the heart of Léognan owned by the Garcin family, the final blend on the 2012 Garcin is 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc and the rest Merlot. A big, full-throttle, full-bodied, impressive Pessac-Leognan, with notes of charcoal fires, burning embers, blueberry and blackberry fruit, this full-bodied, rich, supple wine is very impressive, beautifully textured and quite pure and long.

A dark, explosive wine, the 2014 Brown hits the palate with tons of intensity and breadth. Black fruit, smoke, mint, leather and tobacco wrap around the huge, structured finish in a wine that brings together intense fruit with an equally imposing sense of structure. Consulting winemaker Frédéric Massie continues to do impressive work at Brown, a historic estate in Pessac-Léognan that seems to be on the rise. There is a lot to like and look forward to.

The 2018 Château Brown is well defined on the nose, offering plenty of black fruit laced with hints of espresso and dark chocolate, and just a faint star anise note hovering on the background.

In the world of fine wines, the Cadet de Gombaude 2019 is a gem from Bordeaux's prestigious Pomerol appellation. This elegant red wine is produced by Château Gombaude-Guillot, a winery with deep roots in the area, renowned for their commitment to organic and biodynamic principles. The Cadet de Gombaude 2019 is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, each grape contributing depth and complexity to the final product. Aged in French oak barrels, the wine embodies rich fruit flavours including blackberries and cherries, underpinned by a beautiful minerality and silky tannins. With its lush texture and a grand long finish, it offers the classic charms of the region with a finesse that speaks of the impeccable winemaking skills of the estate. Meant to be savoured and appreciated, Cadet de Gombaude 2019 is a testament to the incredible potential and refinement of Pomerol wines.

Embodied with a harmony of rich characteristics, Calicem 2016 exhibits the marvellous elegance of a finely crafted Bordeaux red wine.

Using traditional French winemaking practices with an exquisite touch of modernity, the wine is matured for 18 months in oak barrels, infusing it with an intricate infusion of spiced and woody notes.
The genius behind Calicem 2016 is Patrice Lévêque, a renowned oenologist who cultivates his wines with an unwavering focus on precision and quality.

Crafted with quintessential mastery, Calicem 2018 is an exquisite wine, birthed in the revered vineyards of Bordeaux, France. The esteemed producer, Calicem, marries traditional viticulture with innovative methods to produce this pristine expression. The base of Calicem 2018 is primarily Merlot, harmoniously blended with a measured touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, for an invigorating complexity. Subtle hints of oak emanate from its 18-month ageing process in French oak barrels, enhancing its rich, velvety texture.
Upon swirling in the glass, Calicem 2018 reveals a dark ruby hue, paving the way for a robust palate. Full-bodied notes of blackcurrant, truffles and sweet spices dance on the tongue, while its long finish leaves nuances of dark chocolate and raspberry echo. With its cellaring potential of up to 20 years, Calicem 2018 promises to develop deeper notes and complexity over time, cementing itself as a compelling choice for collectors and aficionados alike.
