Regional Classics for Laying Down
Wines included
Château Dutruch Grand Poujeaux, Moulis-en-Médoc 2017
A perfumed, ready-to-go Moulis from one of our favourite châteaux on the Bordeaux left bank. Savoury, cool cabernet fruit dominates, with perfectly rounded tannins on the finish. The blend is 84% cabernet sauvignon 15% merlot and 1% petit verdot.
Lacoste Borie, Pauillac 2019
Exemplary second wine of Grand-Puy-Lacoste, made to be enjoyed early on its fruit. This captures the freshness and balance of the year beautifully.
Domaine de Bellene, Côte de Nuits-Villages Vieilles Vignes 2020
A well-balanced wine with concentrated black fruit, yet it retains freshness. It is made from three vineyards planted in 1942 just south of Nuits premier cru Clos de La Maréchale. Forget the rather generic sounding appellation: this punches well above its weight.
Domaine Tollot-Beaut, Chorey-lès-Beaune 2020
Made from 6ha spread over 14 different parcels, this is a big and powerful wine with black-fruit character, yet finishes freshly.
Saint-Joseph Rouge, Domaine du Tunnel 2020
Ripe, dark and well-rounded with flavours of dark-berry fruit. A fine, polished wine from Stéphane Robert.
Gigondas, Château de Saint Cosme 2020
Fabulous and thickly textured Gigondas with great concentration of blackberry fruit and lift on the finish.
