1 x Château Saint-Germain Bordeaux Superieur 2020 (France)

Awarded Gold Medal: Gilbert & Gaillard
Awarded Gold Medal: Concours de Lyon
Awarded Gold Medal: Feminalise

Richly fruited and elegantly structured, Château Saint-Germain Bordeaux Supérieur 2020 opens with inviting aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and a hint of mocha. The palate is smooth and supple, with generous layers of plum, cassis, and subtle spice, all wrapped in fine, velvety tannins. A touch of oak adds depth without overpowering the fruit, and the finish is long, polished, and satisfying. A classic example of modern Bordeaux at an excellent value.

1 x Les Deux Pins Merlot 2023 (France)

Languedoc Roussillon is the most exciting region in France providing much of France's best value wines. The beauty of Merlot grown in this region lies in its fleshy fruitiness, shown here to great effect.
