“Wonderful blend of syrah, carignan and grenache with a reddish-black colour. (…) flawless structure with a light wood aroma (…) garrigue, peppermint and fresh, acidulous blackberry soften the strong tannins. With Marie-Pierre Iché’s personal touch, the baron becomes a prince.” (Guide Hachette 2017, vin remarquable)

Syrah 60%, Carignan 25%, Grenache 15%
“Perfumed, floral notes suggestive of violets, crushed stone and blueberry aromas. In the mouth, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and lush but not over the top, showing great balance and elegance on the lengthy finish.” Parker 93 (The Wine Advocate | 236)
Syrah 90%, Grenache 10%
One of the three premium cuvées of Château d’Oupia, the grapes coming from nearly centenary vines, with a limited production of about 2000 bottles. The syrah is predominant in this opulent Minervois who will be the perfect wine for your festive meals.

Bright red colour; it’s a light and supple wine dominated by small red fruits as raspberry and Morello cherry. Moderately tannic but rich and characterful, it evolves towards strawberry jam, with animal and leather notes after few years. The generous and ample mouth appears to be both delicate and long. Smart wine with well-balanced tannins.

“A wine close to perfection” ; “Charmail is definitely one of the Haut Medoc stars” ; “One of the most consistent Crus Bourgeois in the last 10-15 years”
This is one of the best second wines of the Médoc. Like its elder, this is a classic, elegant wine, with a clear, well-designed structure and a long, fresh final.
The red Château Carbonnieux is the smooth result of an excellent blending of grape varieties from this region. The tannins are well balanced and silky in harmony with red fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry, cherry…) and reveal toasted notes from ageing in the finest quality French oak barrels.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Lacoste-Borie opens with baked plums, stewed cherries, cassis and milk chocolate with earth and herbs. Medium to full-bodied, firm and chewy, it has a good fruit core and an herbal lift on the finish.
