Montilla-Moriles

Corredera Fino

100% Pedro Ximénez

The wine’s colour is strong, but not excessively so and lets us perceive a refined style, already displaying the large proportion of Cabernet Franc in the blend. The nose is expressive on notes of fruit and lots of spice; it reveals ripeness and is very fresh. On the palate, this wine is charming, with surprising fullness, smoothness and also a lot of depth.

Montilla Moriles

Graciano Pedro Ximénez

100% Pedro Ximénez

Amber color with intense aromas of heather honey, raisins and dates. Young and fresh, it is easy drinking with a good balance of sweetness and acidity.

Two new French reds in 375ml!

2016 Chateau Breillan

Haut-Médoc Rouge

Merlot, Cabernet Franc

Clad in a beautiful ruby red with deep purple tints, this 2016 offers an intense, fresh bouquet with a hint of spice, red fruits and cherry. Mouth filling, chewy tannins on the palate, which lingers to a balanced, superbly unctuous finish. Certainly a great success in this great vintage.

2019 La Dame d'Angludet

AOC Margaux

50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot

Finesse, elegance and complexity are the watchwords of 2019. We find the expression of the terroir that we look for each year in Angludet. Beautifully balanced, combining purity and structure, the wine displays great capacity to age well for a great number of years.

The 2019 is a beautiful illustration of the Angludet style : generous and gourmand.
