Classic Mixed Tasting Kit
Wines included
Château Coufran, Haut-Médoc 2016 100ml
Neighbouring Saint-Estèphe in the northern Haut-Médoc, Château Coufran has built a reputation for age-worthy clarets at modest prices. Comprising a single 76-hectare block predominantly planted to merlot the 2016 is a fleshy medium-bodied claret showing a sweet core of redcurrant and berry fruit with fine tannins and refreshing finish. Delicious now but will continue to evolve.
Bohórquez Reserva, Ribera del Duero 2019
From a notable estate in Spain's fine wine region Ribera del Duero and one that has been immensely popular with members. The weather in 2019 was warm and dry with fruit harvested at optimum quality, healthy and concentrated. The young wine is intense with a powerful expression combining hints of liquorice and dark fruits. The palate is dense yet accessible and voluptuous with a bright energy that balances the concentration. The wines of this property have a track record of ageing. As it matures it will become silky, mellow and cedary. The blend is mostly tinto fino (tempranillo), with a 10% cabernet and a 6% merlot, aged for 14 months in French oak barrels. Drink from 2025 to 2034. 14.5%
The Society's Exhibition Gigondas 2019 100ml
The Exhibition Gigondas was blended and aged in barrel by Louis Barruol of the celebrated Château de Saint-Cosme estate. Long and concentrated and satisfyingly full-bodied with flavours of plums and spice. 2019 is a vintage that has density and weight, but the quality of fruit and winemaking has led to a wine that also has brilliant acidity and balance.
The Society's Exhibition Pouilly-Fumé 2023 100ml
The elegant 2023 vintage in the Loire, made for us by Sophie Landrat-Guyollot, blends predominantly flint with a touch of sandy soils in this fresh and balanced vintage. The flint soils bring smoky minerality, length and freshness, whilst the sandy soils add some aromatic complexity. A gastronomic fine white with power, weight and class.
Samuel Billaud, Chablis Les Grands Terroirs 2022 100ml
Ripe yet firm Chablis, broad and fresh. An unoaked blend from three excellent village vineyards, Pargues, Cartes and Bas de Chapelot. Drink from 2025 to 2029.
Amarone della Valpolicella, Tenuta Novare 2022 100ml
Made by Andrea Lonardi MW, this is a more modern style of Amarone, with a shorter drying time, and less oak the result is much fresher yet still with a distinctive richness. From a great vintage in this part of Italy, this wine is showing plenty of spicy bramble-fruit notes that are pure on the full-bodied palate.
