Chateau Chapelle D’alienor, Bordeaux
80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc. Classic and classy. Chateau Chapelle d’Alienor is a proud new addition to our Bordeaux selection. This is simply fast ball claret, and scratches the itch for an earthy, satisfying cool weather red to pair up with hardy winter cuisine. This property encompasses 52 hectares planted on gravel, limestone-clay. The wine is vinified in stainless steel before 8 months in once-used-barrel for 20% of the wine. Whatever the recipe, it seems to bring the wine into perfect balance.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Unshackled California, USA 2019
Vibrancy of fruit is focal point of this wine. Featuring aromas of plum and blackberry with a hint of olive. Flavors of black stone fruit, clove, and dried herbs with solid tannin structure result in a flavor-forward Cabernet Sauvignon with balanced acidity.
Cotes Du Rhone, Sait-Esprit
Salentein Reserve, Malbec 2020
Pure, rich and very elegant; a powerhouse of lush black fruit, silky cocoa, black spice and cream, wrapped around blackberry, cherry and ripe plum. Layered and complex with a nose to linger over, a finish that never ends.

Pale with pomelo highlights. The nose is precise and delicate with notes of flowers and melon. In the mouth, the wine is powerful and well balanced, with notes of citrus and red fruits. It is the most structured and expressive of all the Minuty wines. The whole is underlined by a pleasant minerality.
Bodvar, Cote De Provence France
Quite serious Rose - red berry fruit, herbal and floral notes on the nose. On the palate good mix of rich- and freshness, very elegant. Slightly bitter finish, nice persistence.

Veuve Clicquot, "Yellow Label", France
He blends 30-45% reserve wines with grapes from as many as 50 to 60 different crus. The Pinot Noir predominance (50-55%) provides the structure that is so typically Veuve Clicquot, while Chardonnay (28-33%) adds the elegance and finesse essential in a perfectly balanced wine, and a touch of Meunier (15-20%) rounds out the blend. The long aging in our Crayeres (3 years minimum for Yellow Label) gives silkiness to the Champagne.
