Chateau La Tour Carnet 2016

• Color: Deep garnet with hints of mahogany and a touch of ruby.
• Aromas: A complex bouquet of black cherry, blackberry, blackcurrant, plum, licorice, and tobacco, with spicy notes of cinnamon and roasted hints of charred wood.
• Palate: Generous, with a velvety texture and fine, well-integrated tannins. It has ripe fruit flavors and a long, balanced finish.
• Grape Blend: 60% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 3% Cabernet Franc.
• Aging: Aged in barrels for 16 months, with 30% new oak. 

• • Production: This was the first vintage made in the new winery, allowing for separate vinification of different cuvées and a reduction in new wood use.

• Tasting notes: Tasters have described it as ripe, open, and seductive, with remarkable inner perfume and subtlety. Others have noted it has more freshness and delineation than some other wines from the same estate, with a silky texture and fine, present tannins. 

• Beef, venison, lamb, and other classic meat dishes.
• Roast duck, chicken, and game.
• Hearty fish courses, mushrooms, and pasta.
• Christmas dishes, such as capon stuffed with truffle and chestnut confit. 

Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label looks beautiful: golden-yellow, with a foaming necklace of tiny bubbles. Next it is so pleasing to the nose: initially reminiscent of yellow and white fruits, then of vanilla and later of brioche. Note the fine balance between the fruity aromas coming from the grape varieties and the toasty aromas, the result of the three years of bottle aging. The first sip delivers all the freshness and strength so typical of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label with a symphony of fruit tastes following (pear, lemon).

Baron D'Arignac is a great companion of the best moments in people's lives. A great, inexpensive alternative to champagne. This sparkler has fine bubbles, a good mousse and crisp, spritzing acidity on the palate. A good aperitif.

Whispering Angel is today's worldwide reference for Provence Rosé. Its pale color is pleasing to the eye and draws one in. The rewarding taste profile is full and lush while being bone dry with a smooth finish. Highly approachable and enjoyable with a broad range of cuisine, Whispering Angel is a premium Rosé that you can drink from mid-day to midnight.

TASTING NOTE: As you get ensnared by its sensuous charms, the siren-like fresh aroma and notes of citrus and pink grapefruit are only bettered by its smooth and creamy feel on the palate. The flavour is complex, with layers of fruity flavours; testament to the Provence region it comes from. This is on account of the mixture of Grenache, Rolle, Syrah, Tibouren and Cinsault grapes it has been made from. Food Match : Goats Cheese, Lamb, Pasta, Shellfish, Sushi, Veal
