From the rolling hills of Oregon’s Columbia Gorge, Phelps Creek crafts a Pinot Noir that captures the cool-climate elegance of the region.
The 2019 vintage benefited from a long, temperate growing season, allowing fruit to ripen slowly and develop remarkable aromatic complexity. Bright ruby in the glass, it offers an inviting bouquet of wild strawberry, raspberry compote, and rose petals, lifted by hints of forest floor and baking spice. The palate is finely textured, with supple tannins carrying red berry flavours wrapped in subtle notes of clove, vanilla, and earth. There’s a fresh, mineral-driven core that keeps each sip vibrant and focused, leading to a lingering finish that balances fruit purity with savoury depth.
Equally suited to refined dishes like herb-crusted salmon or mushroom risotto as it is to a casual charcuterie board, this wine shows why Pinot Noir thrives here — graceful, expressive, and irresistibly drinkable.
Perched on the limestone slopes of Santenay’s prized “Sous La Roche” terroir, Château de Chamilly crafts this elegant white Burgundy with precision and patience.
The 2019 vintage was marked by a warm growing season, encouraging ripe, concentrated fruit while retaining the hallmark freshness of the Côte de Beaune. In the glass, it shimmers with pale gold tones, releasing aromas of white peach, lemon zest, and a subtle whisper of acacia blossom. Layers of hazelnut, chalk, and a hint of fresh brioche emerge as it opens, a nod to its careful élevage. The palate is textured yet refined, balancing creamy depth with vibrant minerality. A saline edge lifts the finish, inviting another sip.
This is a Chardonnay that speaks of both sunshine and stone, equally at home alongside roast poultry in a tarragon cream sauce or seared scallops with beurre blanc. While already showing beautiful complexity, it will reward a few more years in the cellar, allowing its floral and nutty notes to evolve into something truly profound. A graceful ambassador for Santenay’s lesser-known but quietly exceptional white wines.
Nestled between Margaux and Saint-Julien, Cambon la Pelouse holds a coveted position in the Haut-Médoc, and the 2018 vintage proves why it has earned “Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel” status.
A warm, dry season delivered small, deeply coloured berries, translating into a wine of concentration and finesse. On the nose, cassis and black cherry mingle with hints of cedar, tobacco leaf, and crushed violet. The palate is plush yet structured, with ripe tannins framing layers of dark fruit, graphite, and a touch of cocoa. There’s an effortless balance here — the opulence of the vintage tempered by a refreshing lift on the finish. Extended barrel ageing has woven in subtle spice and a silky texture, making it approachable now but capable of ageing gracefully for a decade or more.
This is Left Bank Bordeaux at its most generous, pairing beautifully with roast lamb, duck breast, or a simple grilled ribeye. A bottle that speaks of classic Médoc elegance while delivering the richness and depth modern palates love.
