Carmes de Rieussec, Sauternes 2018
As the second wine of Château Rieussec, Carmes de Rieussec 2018 embodies the elegance of Sauternes with a harmonious balance of richness and freshness. Crafted from Sémillon (89%), Muscadelle (6%),... and Sauvignon Blanc (5%), this vintage benefits from noble rot, enhancing its depth and complexity. Aged for 12 months in barrels, it reveals aromas of apricot, candied melon, and subtle oak influence, leading to a silky palate with citrus and spice layers. The finish is long, honeyed, and well-defined, promising further development over the years.
Acclaimed by Lisa Perrotti-Brown (The Wine Advocate), who describes it as:
"Pale lemon-gold colored, the 2018 Carmes de Rieussec is a little youthfully mute to begin, offering glimpses at lemon meringue pie, lime cordial, and beeswax scents with touches of baking bread and marzipan. The palate is appealingly rich and packed with citrus and spice layers, finishing long and honeyed."
Perfectly paired with blue cheese, fruity desserts, or enjoyed on its own, this Sauternes is best served chilled at 8–10°C to showcase its refined complexity

About Chateau Coutet:
The estate, with a rich history dating back to the 13th century, is located in the Barsac appellation of the Sauternes region. It was one of the first vineyards in Sauternes, beginning wine production in 1643. The property was acknowledged by Thomas Jefferson as "the best Sauternes in Barsac."
Owned by the Baly family since 1977, Chateau Coutet is known for its luscious and elegant Sauternes. The vineyards, covering 35 hectares, are planted predominantly with Sémillon, along with Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle.
The unique terroir of the region, along with the influence of noble rot (botrytis cinerea), contributes to the distinctive sweet and concentrated flavor of the wine.
2019 Vintage in Sauternes:
The 2019 vintage for Sauternes was characterized by ideal conditions for the development of botrytis, leading to richly concentrated sugar levels in the grapes. This resulted in naturally sweet wines with complex flavors.
The vinification process involved multiple picking passes, with the first starting in early October, allowing for the selection of grapes with high potential alcohol content.

La Palerna, Rosso Valdimonte 2018
This is a UK exclusive with a phenomenal price tag.
Wines like this are what working in the wine trade is all about - a small volume of exceptional, mature red wine parcel from an artisanal... producer at an incredible price tag.
A blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Noir offers a deep ruby colour, with aromas of ripe red berries, wild herbs, violets, and subtle spice. On the palate, it’s fresh and medium-bodied, with soft tannins and a clean, gently savoury finish.
La Palerna sits high at 550-600m right on the Tuscan/Umbrian border. Thankfully for all of us, they are on the Umbrian side of the border and the price reflects this. At this altitude, the wines have a wonderful freshness and elegance. Yields are low, grapes are hand harvested and sorted, and such care and precision are taken in the winemaking which is evident in the quality of the wine. We have visited Bordeaux classified growths and Grand Cru Burgundies who take the same level of care in production. The overriding reason for all of this is perhaps down to winemaker extraordinaire, Mauro Monicchi who has worked across Bordeaux and the South of France, he now oversees winemaking for first class estates across Tuscany, namely Montalcino and Montepulciano. The quality of wines can also be put down to owner Luigi Merendelli’s philosophy to produce “only great wines”. I can confirm they do just that across the board, but this red is a home run at this price. The wonderful thing about central Italian reds are they are incredibly versatile when pairing with food and can be drunk all year around, indeed these are the wines to open at dinner parties or have at weddings.

Michael Chapoutier Alchemy La Combe Pilate, Viognier, Chapoutier 2019
Viognier is the Rhone's most famous white grape variety for which it is justifiably famous and Micheal Chapoutier's biodynamic Alchemy is a superb example. Jeb Dunnock, the region's best known critic... described it as "a mini Condrieu..but not so mini”
Micheal Chapoutier, best known for his iconic Hermitages, the visionary wine maker of the Northern Rhone bought this tiny vineyard, no bigger than most of our gardens, some 5 years ago. The plot is right next to his house and is the first plot he turned biodynamic, hence the label.
Chapoutier personally makes the wine by gently pressing whole bunches of grapes and leaving the juice on the lees (the skins) for a few days. The result is a dry, very fresh, full bodied viognier with hints of ripe peaches and orange blossom and a gorgeous flinty minerality and a savory finish.
For those of us who appreciate good viognier, this is a must buy – delicious on its own but if anything it is a food wine – from oysters and dover sole to mildly spicy dishes and all white meats. You will not be disappointed.
