Domaine de Chevalier Grand Cru Classé de Graves 2014
R1,595.00 inc. VAT
“The 2014 Domaine de Chevalier has a wonderful bouquet with pure blackberry, raspberry coulis and iodine-tinged aromas that seem to envelop the senses. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, superb acidity and a sense of symmetry that is uncommon in the 2014 vintage. This is a sophisticated, precise wine from Olivier Bernard that could be one of top wines of the vintage. There is an approachability to this Domaine de Chevalier, which you do not always find, however I would be inclined to give this 3-4 years in bottle.” – Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate

Château Tour Sieujean, Pauillac 2017
R494.99 inc. VAT
"The 2017 Tour Sieujean has a well-defined bouquet with focused blackberry and cranberry fruit, a touch of pencil lead in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, a crisp line of acidity, nicely poised with a touch of blackberry and cassis towards the finish. I have rated wines from this estate highly in the past and this is another very commendable wine from this little-known estate." - Neal Martin, Vinous
Château Teynac, Saint-Julien 2016
R575.00 inc. VAT
"Château Teynac is a Saint Julien unlike any other. Its grape varieties are traditional for Medoc wines: a majority of Cabernet Sauvignon (70%), Merlot (28%) and Petit Verdot (2%): a proportion varying slightly depending on the vintage at the time of blending. The vines used to produce it are surrounded by those classified as Cru which constitute 95% of the appellation." - Winemaker's notes
