2 x Chateau La Fleur Saint-André, Bordeaux AOP 2015 (Bordeaux)
AWARDED 91/100 POINTS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Challenge International du Vin
"This is beautifully fruited and deeply savoury at the same time, displaying lifted aromas of dark fruit, smoked game, cigar and black olive on the nose with a hint of mature cheese-like complexity. The palate is medium-full and wonderfully expressed with attractive fruit intensity and fine texture, brilliantly structured by fine, chalky tannins. At its best: now to 2019." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2017.
Bordeaux is a top spot for those seeking rich, yet elegant reds and most come at a great value price, too. And, unlike the old days, you don't even have to wait years for the wines to be approachable. Critic Stephen Spurrier MW called 2015 "a modern vintage with real charm" and Chateau La Fleur Saint-André is exactly that in a nutshell. Medium bodied with lovely fresh red berry fruit with a length that belies its price point.
Showing a vibrant deep ruby-red core, this wine displays a focused nose of perfumed black raspberry, black cherry and dark strawberry. With a soft entry on the palate, fresh dark fruit flavors lead and give way to well-integrated and soft tannins. Lovely texture and intensity of flavor on the palate carries through to a bright and persistent finish.
2 x Rive Droite Rive Gauche Côtes du Rhône 2015 (Rhone Valley)
AWARDED 93/100 POINTS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
"Deeply coloured and impressively fruited, the bouquet shows dark plum, blueberry, clove and toasted hazel nut characters, leading to a succulent palate that is beautifully rounded and richly textured. It is generous and flavoursome, and delivers loads of tasty fruit flavours with subtle savoury notes, finishing long and velvety. At its best: now to 2020" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
2 x Jeff Carrel 'Les Darons' 2015 (Languedoc)
AWARDED 93/100 POINTS: Robert Parker
AWARDED 93/100 POINTS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
"What looks like another great vintage here, the 2015 AOP Languedoc les Darons is made from 75% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 5% Carignan; grapes were completely destemmed, and fermented and aged all in concrete tanks. It sees absolutely no oak whatsoever. This medium to full-bodied, plump, rounded, downright sexy 2015 has lots of blueberry, violets, and jammy black cherry aromas and flavors; it has terrific purity of fruit, good acidity and an overriding sense of elegance. If it came from a more prestigious appellation in the southern Rhone, it would go for three times the price." - 93 Points, eRobertParker.com
"A fabulous expression of grenache from the south of France, the fragrant bouquet shows dark plum, ripe strawberry, floral and spice characters, leading to a succulent palate that is rounded and silky. The wine is fruit expressive and friendly, and offers excellent richness as well as refinement. A gorgeous velvety red." - 93 Points & 5 Stars, Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
Grenache and Carignan have long been cultivated in Southern France and as far as varieties go they kind of represent the “forefathers” of the Languedoc’s red wines. An homage to these traditional varietals, this wine was subsequently labeled “Les Darons”, the affectionate expression for The Parents in the Parisian suburbs where talented winemaker Jeff Carrel was born.
Previous vintages of this wine have all been outstanding, with last year's (2014 vintage) being called "a breathtaking wine" and rated 94 Points by Robert Parker!
