  • 2010 Chateau Puy GuilhemRed Wine

    2010 Chateau Puy Guilhem

    £2895

    2009 is widely cited as an outstanding vintage. The growing season was almost perfect, with a long, fine, warm summer and crucially, cooler nights which helped to retain balancing acidity. The wines are intensely ripe and rich.  This 2009 Chateau Puy Guilhem is a powerful yet elegant red with ripe berried fruits enhanced by a subtle note of oak spice. Full-bodied, with juicy fruit and an attractive savoury note on the finish.

    The appellation of Fronsac is on the right bank close to Saint Emilion. The wines are dominated by Merlot. Château Puyguilhem’s vineyard is situated in an elevated position of the appellation, atop high-quality soil composed of a mix of clay and silt, which imparts structure to the wine. The vineyard is managed sustainably without the use of herbicides. Cover crops of grass are grown between the vines and managed with light tilling.

  • 2009 Pepper Bridge Vineyard Apogee, L’Ecole No.41Red Wine

    2009 Pepper Bridge Vineyard Apogee, L’Ecole No.41

    £6950

    L’Ecole Nº 41 has been producing premium, handcrafted varietal wines in the Walla Walla Valley since 1983 in the historic Frenchtown School in Lowden, Washington.

    Apogee is an iconic Washington State Bordeaux blend and is one of 3 incredible single vineyard wines from L’Ecole No.41, the other 2 being Perigee and Ferguson. (see bottom of this page) Apogee comes from the Pepper Bridge Vineyard, planted in the terraced remnants of ice age flood silts, is one of the Walla Walla Valley’s most reputable vineyards.  L’Ecole was the first winery to produce a wine from Pepper Bridge.  Unique site characteristics shine through in Apogee’s distinctive spicy aromas, dark fruit flavours, robust tannins, and rich structure.

    This 2009 Apogee is boldly aromatic with aromas of nutmeg and clove, earthy hints of tobacco and leather, smoky dark fruit packed with chocolate and mint with a cherry finish.  Full-bodied with a rich structure and a long finish.

    The winemakers at L’Ecole recommend the age-ability of this wine to be between 10 to 20 years, so at 11 years this 2009 is really starting to show at its best. Delicious now and for many more years yet!
