Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-94)
5 Star Wine. 30 barrels! A lively fresh ruby, animated fresh raspberry, with an airy lift. This really is a thing of beauty, with just the right structure to back up the quality of the fruit. No feeling of dilution, a masterful hand at work. Subtle detail without loss of intensity. Drink from 2028-2034. Tasted Nov 2024.Inc. VAT£566.00 -
Treat yourself to the exquisite essence of the Bordeaux region with a bottle of Corbin 2010. Produced on the charming estate of Château Corbin, this fine wine basks in the superior reputation of its Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classe classification. The care behind its crafting is palpable, with a well-curated blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, harvested from vines over thirty years old. Aged 18 months in French oak barrels, Corbin 2010 offers exceptional harmony between tannins and delightful complexity in its taste profile. The rich, ruby-red hue speaks of ripe, dark fruit aromas, whilst a refined sprinkling of spice highlights its noble heritage. Decanting is recommended to truly unlock Corbin 2010's magnificence before savouring. As the product of a notably warm vintage year, the Corbin 2010 is nothing short of a testament to the ethos of Château Corbin, championing elegance and authenticity in every drop.

From 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the wine reached 13.5% alcohol. With a nose of licorice and fresh black raspberry jam, the medium-bodied wine is soft, smooth and forward, ending with dark berries and a hint of dust in the finish. 89-91 PtsInc. VAT£466.75 -

With a nose as charming as estate manager Annabelle Cruse, the violet, licorice and black cherry aromas are a pleasure. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied, fresh, soft and sweet with a black raspberry and thyme finish. A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the wine reached 13% alcohol and will be aged in 40% new, French oak barrels. 90-91 PtsInc. VAT£319.90 -

From a 13-hectare estate located north and slightly west of the village of Saint-Emilion, the 2015 Château Corbin is mostly Merlot blended with 17% Cabernet Franc, all of which comes from sandier, clay soils. It offers ample notes of ripe cherries, strawberries, dried herbs and bouquet garni, with a beautiful floral quality developing with time in the glass. Ripe, undeniably sexy and polished on the palate, with full-bodied richness and ultra-fine tannin, give bottles a few year and drink over the following 10-15. Tasted three times.Inc. VAT£403.15 -

I loved this bottle of 1982 Cos d'Estournel, and it was easily the best bottle I’ve had of this wine, which has always shown slightly tired and over the hill for me. It shows classic, even youthful notes of lead pencil, currants and saddle leather, was full-bodied, had beautiful depth of fruit, and a great, great finish, all pointing to a fully mature yet grand Saint Estephe.

The 1989 Cos d'Estournel is very good, but uninspiring. The 1989, although good, does not live up to expectations given the terroir and the vintage. Its deep ruby color is followed by a spicy vanillin, curranty nose, medium body, excellent depth, but a monolithic personality. It possesses neither the concentration nor dimension of the exceptional 1990. The 1989 possesses some hard tannin in the finish, but it is well-integrated with the wine's ripe fruit. Look for this wine to drink well for the next 15+ years.Inc. VAT£1,535.44 -

Really lively and fragrant with much more charm than most St-Estèphes usually show. I wonder how the famous Ch Montrose 1990 would have shown? This splits the difference between the slightly demanding terroir effect and the richness of the vintage. Great balance. Slightly mineral notes. Rich, round and fruity. Clean, fresh and dense. Very much over-delivers.Inc. VAT£332.00

The most prevalent and recognised or 'international grape' varieties in the world are mostly of French origin. The enduring popularity and respect of French wine has meant that Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvingon, Merlot and many others have been exported and experimented with around the world.
