Bordeaux, France

This wine has really opened up and is drinking fantastically. A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot from the Haut-Medoc this wine will continue to develop for several more years.

The Sichel family are truly expert winemakers and this Margaux is no exception. 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot

The nose redolent of spice and red fruits, the same aromas coming through on the soft, rounded palate, underpinned by perceptible, quality tannins. A harmonious, fresh and fruity wine.

Chateau Fonplegade is a Grand Cru Classe Chateau from Saint-Emilion. 95% Merlot with 5% Cabernet Franc and aged for 18 to 24 months in 85% new Franch oak.

Garnet-purple color. Lovely complex nose revealing roses, chocolate, blueberries and blackberries perfumes along with scrubland and smoke notes. In the mouth, this wine is fresh with a mineral profile.

Produced by the same team and from the same vineyards as Château Palmer, Alter Ego is literally the 'other side' of Palmer, another expression of Palmer. Alter Ego has the distinction and character of Palmer but is made to be drunk much earlier. Merlot is generally the dominant grape variety, making it supple and ready to open within 3 years of the harvest. A great wine with intense fruit, fresh and juicy.

From the Sichel estate, Chateau Argenteyre is a 27ha property. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 15% Petit Verdot with 12 month in oak. Drinking well now but will continue to develop for several years to come. A serious and classic Medoc wine.

Cassis and blackberry aromas with a certain softness. The palate is rounded and creamy, with velvety tannins, ripe fruit and a refreshing touch of acidity that creates a balanced whole, as well as delicate spices which evolve on the palate. The finish is long and light as air.

100% Merlot from 25 year old vines, displaying the excellent cassis flavours typical of a well structured Merlot highlighted by menthol notes on the nose.

A classic Bordeaux nose of deep, concentrated Blackcurrent fruit and leathery spice. The palate is generous and complex giving delicious, dark, bramble fruit, tobacco and cloves with gentle hints of vanilla oak and soft, ripe tannins.
