A great example of young tempranillo from reputed Ribera del Duero region. Bursting with youthful fruit and a kiss of spice from discreet oak (6 months in American). A light to medium bodied easy drinking red! Soft and velvety this charming rojo will marry perfectly with simply grilled veal, pork or poultry. Enjoy!

Made entirely with Garnacha (Grenache), this rich, charming red is from the Spanish Mediterranean Coast. The nose brims of ultra ripe fruit with hints of sweet spices and tobacco. Seductive velvety mouthfeel, great volume with soft acidity and good length, this red merits our attention. Ideally served with grilled lamb chops. Enjoy !

The outstanding reputation of the 90 Bordeaux vintage is a known fact. Wines from both banks are impressive. From the outset the wines displayed lots of ripe fruit with good structure and elegance. Most are drinking well, but some are still showing youthful characteristics. A great vintage, with many success stories. Thirty years later this classic Bordeaux vintage has evolved favourably, and is showing superb complexity. With great balance and elegance, many Châteaux continue to improve.
@ Les Conseillers du Vin, thirty years later, we revisited (for the 4th time!) this classic, mature Bordeaux vintage. To verify the evolution, structure and balance of this fine Bordeaux vintage, a group of 16 experienced tasters analyzed 7 outstanding Chateaux plus a mystery wine in the usual blind tasting format.
A perfect blend of Carignan (39%), Grenache (30%), Mourvèdre (16%) and Syrah (15%), that charms and seduces with its ripe flavours, soft acidity and a velvety texture. The flattering nose exhibits ripe red berries and sweet spices. Medium bodied with good length, it will match well with Italian sausage pizza. Enjoy!

Pierre Gaillard’s hard work has paid off! This cuvée Transhumance has enormously evolved, now fresher/lighter while remaining full flavoured. Freshness and balance are assured by bright acidity and precise extraction of tannins. A lovely blend of Grenache (50%), Syrah (35%) and Mourvèdre (15%) which displays scents of field berries, anis, sweet spices and a hint of funky/animal. Quite flavourful it will marry perfectly with grilled veal or pork.
