CHÂTEAU BEAUVILLAGE CRU BOURGEOIS MÉDOC
This is 25 hectare property on the banks of the Gironde with 3 parcels of vineyard in Couquèques, Saint-Christoly de Médoc and Civrac in the Northern Medoc, above St-Estephe. They have been making wine here since 1925. The soils are a clay -limestone and gravel mix, supporting vines with an average age of 35 years. The blend is 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet, aged in French oak for 12 months. This is a great bottle of modern-styled red Bordeaux from a top vintage, medium-full bodied, loaded with plush, ripe dark fruits overlaying a hint of graphite and a dash of toasty oak, with soft tannins rolling out on the long, satisfying finish. Starting to drink well and with at least another 4 or 5 years of upside potential, this delivers some serious quality for the price

DOMAINE CHAMPEAU POUILLY FUME
Domaine Champeau is based in the village of Saint-Andelain and has 20 hectares of vines – the vast majority being Sauvignon Blanc but they also have 1.40 ha of Chasselas for AC Pouilly-sur-Loire. The domaine was founded in 1942 and is now run by third generation Champeaus - Franck and his brother Guy. The wine is made from Sauvignon grapes on plots located at the highest point of the appellation in St Andelain France. The soil is worked increasingly by limiting the use of chemicals and the fertilizer used comes from nearby farms. They practice a system of sustainable viticulture to respect the surrounding land. The ground is silty clay composed of red flint, giving the wine typical peppery spice aromas and fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, at controlled temperatures. Pale gold with greenish tints. Pure, focused fruity nose with subtle mineral notes. Fairly fleshy on the palate, intensely fruity, fresh and harmonious. A good wine to drink in its youth with freshwater fish.
