Focused cassis and a little tar on the nose with some fresh mint. The palate is firm but ripe, with exotic spices paired with ripe cassis fruit and a little graphite.

Lynch-Moussas is a typically a blend is Cabernet Sauvignon based and the wine is aged in 60% new oak barrels for between 12 and 18 months. The wines are rich in black fruits and display prominent vanilla notes. For a Pauillac, Lynch-Moussas contains a relatively high proportion of Merlot and is consequently a softer, silkier and lusher wine than many of its neighbours.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"in-the-vineyard\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row spacer-top\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-5 col-sm-push-7 print-pricing\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"well well-sm well-orderform no-stock col-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood Matches: \u003c\/b\u003eRed Meat \/ Venison \/ Soft Cheese\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Lynch-Moussas","offers":[{"title":"6 Bottle Case","offer_id":15874135031871,"sku":"WOLRE3913S","price":500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 Bottle Case","offer_id":15874135064639,"sku":"WOLRE3914S","price":950.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Single Bottle","offer_id":53407199363403,"sku":"WOLRE7142S","price":90.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0213\/9218\/products\/ChateauLynchMoussas2016wood.jpg?v=1657794626"},{"product_id":"chateau-haut-bages-liberal-5eme-cru-classe-2015","title":"Chateau Haut-Bages Liberal 5eme Cru Classe 2015","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e France \u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bordeaux (Pauillac)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eCabernet Sauvignon 80%, Merlot 17%, Petit Verdot 3%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e2015 \u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eRed \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eDry\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eChateau Haut Bages Liberal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChateau Haut Bages Liberal is one of the least known Pauillac estates but produces exemplary clarets at extremely competitive prices.

Bottled in May 2021, it retains that delineated, focused bouquet of blackberry scents and touches of pencil lead, hints of raspberry and cedar. Just classic Saint-Julien. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins and a superb line of acidity. Much more cohesive with more substance than prior vintages. There is a touch of spiciness toward the lingering finish, which reveals tobacco and gravel-like notes. Talbot made a great wine in 2019 and it will age with style.

Harvest 19 September to 8 October. 60% new oak.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood Matches: \u003c\/b\u003eBeef, Venison, Poultry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Talbot","offers":[{"title":"6 Bottle Case","offer_id":46844474949963,"sku":"WOLRE8327S","price":570.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"12 Bottle Case","offer_id":46844474982731,"sku":"WOLRE8328S","price":1140.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Single Bottle","offer_id":53249284505931,"sku":"WOLRE8329S","price":110.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0213\/9218\/files\/Chateau_Talbot_2020.jpg?v=1692866704"},{"product_id":"chateau-lagneaux-pauillac-2015","title":"Chateau Lagneaux Pauillac 2015","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e France \u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bordeaux (Pauillac)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVarietal: \u003c\/b\u003eCabernet Sauvignon, Merlot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage: \u003c\/b\u003e2015 \u003cb\u003eColour: \u003c\/b\u003eRed \u003cb\u003eStyle: \u003c\/b\u003eDry\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer: \u003c\/b\u003eChateau Lagneaux\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDrink: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e2023-2038\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDescription:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e The famous wine writer Hugh Johnson once wrote, “If one had to single out one commune of Bordeaux to head the list, there would be no argument.

Today, the uber-modern Philippe Starck designed cellar firmly cements Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion's place as a forward-thinking 21st century producer. Owners Patrice and Diane Pichet have been the driving force in its reputation as one of the most dynamic properties of Pessac-Léognan in recent years, as well as Guillaume Pouthier, whose experience as an engineer and oenologist stands out for the practices he has implemented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vines used to produce this wine are around 40 years old and they grow in a terroir of pebbles, sand and soil in Pessac.

These are essential ingredients for making wines that sit among the best grands crus of Bordeaux. One of Bordeaux’s six Crus classés, their Château Malartic-Lagravière from the AOC Pessac-Léognan is a coupage of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The grapes are meticulously selected and destemmed in the winery and following maceration and fermentation at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks, the wine is aged for 18 months in 225-litre French oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how Château Malartic-Lagravière is made.
