Quintay |
Pinot Noir 'Clava' Casablanca Valley |
A soft and fruity pinot, a little cloudy in appearance, with poached strawberries, cranberries and blood oranges on the nose. It’s medium-bodied, gentle and easy drinking. Drink now. Screw cap. |

Morgon Grands Cras |
This compact and concentrated Morgon makes a bold statement. Lots of savory, plus hints of wet earth and bark on the well-rounded, medium-bodied palate. The best thing about the wine is the complex, firm and earthy finish that leaves no doubt about its excellent aging potential. From four hectares of 50- to 70-year-old vines. Drinkable now, but best from 2025. |

Morgon Grands Cras |
Deep savory nose with notes of dried thyme, rosemary and wet earth. Seriously structured with a ton of character, this is a very strong wine for the vintage. However, the tannins are anything but dominant at the long, moderately dry, earthy finish. From three hectares of 50 to 70-year-old vines. Drink or hold. |

Morgon Cote du Py 'Javernieres' |
The smoky, savory and meaty nose pulls you into this remarkably firmly structured Morgon for the 2021 vintage. Both fleshy and tannic, this is packed with wild-blackberry fruit. So much drive and energy! From vines planted in 1965. Matured in oak casks. Drink or hold. |

Morgon Cote du Py |
An inspiring Morgon Cote du Py. Smelling this is like looking down into a vast chasm filled with blackberries. Stunning mineral energy and focus on the medium-bodied palate. You can almost taste the wind that whips over this hilltop site. Then a wave of tiny, fresh blackberries washes over your palate at the wonderfully energetic finish. The production from six hectares goes into this wine. Drink or hold. |

Morgon Corcelette |
Very deep nose of sour cherries and blackcurrants with great savory complexity. The density, elegance and finesse all make this stand out on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Very long, compact and refined finish that needs some time to open up fully. The second vintage of this wine from vines planted in 1932. Drinkable now, but best from 2026. |

Morgon Les Charmes |
The fantastic nose of forest berries with undertones of forest floor pulls you inexorably into this medium- to full-bodied Morgon beauty. Excellent concentration, with stacks of very fine tannins that give this serious persistence and makes it hard to pull yourself away. From vines planted in 1933. Drinkable now, but best from 2025. |

Morgon Cote du Py 'Javernieres' |
This oak-aged Morgon is still very young and needs some time in bottle to open up, but everything is there on the very well-structured medium- to full-bodied palate. Excellent energy at the long finish. Tons of savory, toasty and forest floor complexity right through the long, polished finish. From the foot of the Cote du Py site. Matured in 10-year-old barrels. Drinkable now, but best from 2025. |

Chateau Montus |
Madiran 'Prestige' |
Aromas of mulberries, dark plums, peppercorns, bark and sweet spices. It’s full-bodied with fine tannins. Ample, with a velvety texture at the center. Plenty of volume on the mid-palate with a lift of peppercorns bringing vitality throughout. Balanced and textured with a focused, firm finish. Tannat. Try after 2025. |

A firm, serious and well-structured blend of 80% tannat and 20% cabernet sauvignon. Notes of dark plums, blackberries, dried herbs and baking spices emerge on the nose. It’s medium- to full-bodied with fine, firm tannins and fresh acidity. Plain and dense on the palate with more dark berry character and a touch of spices. Compact finish. Try from 2025. |
