wine flight
Cru Tavel “Les Hautes Roches”, Cellier des Chartreux, Gard, 2021, France
Grenache, Syrah, Carignan (mozzarella)
The colour is very deep, typical from the traditional rosés. The nose is rich with blackcurrant and blackberry fragrances. The mouth is generous with a beautiful round and fruity palate, and a mineral hint.
Vermentino di Bolgheri DOC, Marchesi Antinori, Toscana, 2023, Italy
100% Vermentino (monkfish)
A beautiful example of the Tuscan whites which provides generous lemon and nectarine fragrances. The texture is light and refreshing with hints of herbs. The finish has a light salty touch.
Geyserville, Ridge, Sonoma County, California, 2019, U.S.A
Zinfandel, petite syrah, Carignan, Alicante bouschet (duck)
The wine has delicious black plum and prune fragrances with a touch of herbs, delicate smoky and vanilla undertones. The tannins are fine, with a touch of pepper.
or
Pommard Village, Domaine Virély-Rougeot, Côte d’Or, 2020, France
100% Pinot Noir (veal)
To discover is a very fruity palate focused on plum and redcurrant. The acidity of the wine brings a lot of freshness when its round texture brings balance and length. As the vintage was very warm, expect a touch of tannins.
Marlborough Botrytis, Greywacke, 2022, New Zealand
100% Pinot Gris (sinodun hill set cream)
The wine is very balanced and offers a delicious exotic fruit taste, a honeyed texture with flower undertones and nuts fragrances along a beautiful herbal nose.
or
Maury Vintage Reserve, Mas Amiel, Languedoc, 2018, France
100% Grenache (blackberries)
With black cherries and blackberries flavours, the wine will seduce the palate with vanilla and
floral undertones whilst the barrel ageing brings a spicy yet smooth finish.
