2005 Pinot Blanc, Cave de Pfaffenheim

Published by Wines Magic under White wine

Plump and soft, yet crisply fruity, with ripe apple and pear aromas, a textbook Alsace Pinot Blanc that's almost as much of a mouthful as its source: 'The Cave Vinicole de Pfaffenheim and Guberschwihr'. Not the most marketable name, but wines from this ultra-reliable co-op (often 'Best in France') are sought-after worldwide. The place is [...]

2005 Juliénas, Domaine Joubert

Published by Wines Magic under Red wine

Easygoing yet satisfyingly complex, this lovely wine, with its aromas of raspberries and cherry-stone elegance, is at its best with roast duck or soft cheeses. Based in Lantignie near the 'cru' village of Regnié, the Joubert family operate from a charming chalet-like wooden winery. It sits in a mini-crevasse formed by the village's towering church [...]

2002 Château du Glana

Published by Wines Magic under Red wine

Firm-structured, with aromas of blackcurrants, cedar and spice, and classy oak at the finish. Roast lamb wine. We've found Château du Glana to be a reliable supplier of outstanding value clarets to challenge its illustrious neighbours in St.-Julien, châteaux Ducru Beaucaillou and Léoville-Barton. All are situated on a ridge of pebbles left by a glacier [...]

2004 Château de Beaucastel (magnum), Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Published by Wines Magic under Red wine

Swirling aromas of cassis, herbs and aniseed herald a richly-textured, red fruit-packed, meaty palate. Since 1549, Beaucastel has been home to some of the finest Châteauneufs, made from the fruit of classic, pudding stone-strewn vineyards. Marc and Pierre Perrin's progressive commitment to organic cultivation echoes the spirit of Edwardian scientist forebear Pierre Perrin, who introduced [...]

2002 Le Tèrtre du Lys d'Or, Sauternes

Published by Wines Magic under White wine

Lustrous Sémillon-Sauvignon with enticing aromas of lime blossom, quinces, figs and toast. Serve chilled with Roquefort, crab, asparagus or desserts. Key to the sweetness of Bordeaux's Sauternes is 'noble rot', triggered by autumnal river fogs, that shrivels grapes to syrupy succulence. The rot sets in slowly; up to 8 successive vineyard sweeps are needed to [...]

2004 'Cuvée Felix', Domaine Bois de Boursan

Published by Wines Magic under Red wine

Jean-Paul Versino, who operates from his home on the south side of Châteauneuf, is emerging as a star of the region. His use of oak is idiosyncratic: he employs beermaking vats from Alsace, so well-used that there are scarcely any woody flavours left. This, however, his Grenache-rich top cuvée, was aged in small barrels for [...]

2003 Château de Beaucastel

Published by Wines Magic under Red wine

A brooding beauty that's just starting to show at its best: aromas of roast game and herbs, a dense, rich palate of blackcurrants, figs and plums and a firm tannic finish. Since 1549, Beaucastel has been home to some of the finest Châteauneuf-du-Papes, made from the fruit of classic, pudding stone-strewn vineyards. Marc and Pierre [...]

El Alamo, Amontillado Fino, Pedro Romero

Published by Wines Magic under Fortified Wine

This classic medium-dry sherry hails from the 140-year-old Sanlucar de Barrameda cellars of Pedro Romero, which used to supply more sizeable bodegas but now bottles wines under its own name. Deep amber colour, aromas of almonds and dried figs and a rich, dry, appetisingly savoury palate.
