Pale gold in colour, limpid and brilliant with silver reflections. Initially expressive on the nose with fruity notes (peach, pineapple) and a more mineral background (light flint). After aeration, citrus aromas appear, combined with subtle notes of aromatic herbs (rosemary). The whole is fresh and delicate. The attack on the palate is lively, acidulous with lemony notes bringing energy. The finish is more mineral; a beautiful, mouth-watering expression of the limestone terroir from which it is born.
Bright, limpid straw yellow colour with hints of gold. On the nose, expressive and fruity wine, with floral notes, mango and some nuances of dried apricots. On the palate the wine is rich, round, gourmet and balanced.

Dense ruby color with garnet-red shades. Expressive nose of black cherries with notes of barrel ageing; vanilla, spices. Rich and voluminous on the palate with a beautiful power and aromas of ripe cherries and redcurrant jam, finishing with polished tannins and a remarkable intensity.
Very expressive nose of morello cherry and brown tobacco, with sweet notes of liquorice candy and peony. A complex palate, expressing violet and fresh blackcurrant, nishing with hints of thyme and a touch of bitter orange zest that gives the nish a gourmet taste. It is a sensual and charming, yet restrained Saint-Estephe. Silky, smooth tannins give this Pez 2018 a precise and rened length.
This is a very complex wine which will reward cellaring. Primary characters are pineapple, peach, nectarine, grapefruit peel, and fig, layered with secondary savoury notes from yeast autolysis and a touch of hazelnut and cashew with elegant French oak overtones on the finish.
"Very rich dark berries and plums with an attractive and deep, fresh-fruit edge. The palate has a very smooth, fresh and sweetly fruited core with ripe, plush and approachable tannins. A blend of 81 per cent merlot, 13 per cent cabernet franc and six per cent petit verdot. Try from 2020." James Suckling

The colour is a bright pale straw. The nose is alluring and complex with aromas of grapefruit, lemon meringue and peach blossom. The barrel fermentation imparts butterscotch, brioche and hazelnut character. The palate bursts with intense flavours carried through from the nose. The acidity is in perfect balance keeping the wine fresh and mouthwatering. This wine is deliciously rich and full with a long length. The extended barrel maturation has helped seamlessly integrate the oak and lend creaminess to the palate.
A complex vintage which embodies the legacy of the house: age-old perfected techniques in sync with the volatile forces of nature. Like a fresh, green spring that transitions into the dry skies of high summer. This natural dichotomy presents itself as a harvest that invokes wondernment and pleasantly surprises with maturity.
Serve between 8°C and 10°C.

VINTAGE 2009: An exceptional summer, dry and warm, allowed the grapes to reach a high level of ripeness and perfect maturity while maintaining good acidity. Vintage 2009 is a great vintage champagne.
"Deep garnet-purple in color, it leaps from the glass with bold black cherries, mulberries, plum preserves and blackcurrant cordial scents with hints of menthol, lilacs, licorice and cloves plus wafts of fallen leaves and tilled soil. Medium to full-bodied with a taut core of ripe, densely packed, muscular fruit, it has a firm line of ripe, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and spicy." - Robert Parker
The 2014 Cristal is a terrific effort that transcends the vintage. Bursting from the glass with expressive aromas of ripe citrus fruit, nectarine, white flowers, freshly baked bread and subtle hints of honeycomb, it's medium to full-bodied, vinous and fleshy, with an exuberant core of fruit that's girdled by racy acids, resulting in a wine that's simultaneously chiseled and demonstrative, meaning that early appeal doesn't come at the expense of the requisite tension for long-term cellaring. Concluding with a long, aromatic and intensely chalky finish, it is a brilliant Champagne that will offer a broad drinking window. This bottle was disgorged in June 2021 with seven grams per liter dosage.- William Kelly, Wine Advocate
#N/Bin 707 perfectly reflects the Penfolds ‘House Style’ through a cabernet sauvignon lens: intensely-flavoured fruit; completion of fermentation and maturation in new oak; expressing a Penfolds understanding of multivineyard, multi-region fruit sourcing. Full-bodied and with proven cellaring potential, Bin 707 retains a secure place among the ranks of Australia’s finest cabernets.
The most powerful expression of Penfolds multi-vineyard, multi-district blending philosophy, Grange is arguably Australia’s most celebrated wine and is officially listed as a Heritage Icon of South Australia. Crafted utilising fully ripe, intensely flavoured and structured shiraz grapes, the result is a unique Australian style that is now recognised as one of the most consistent of the world’s great wines. With an unbroken line of vintages from the experimental 1951, Grange clearly demonstrates the synergy between shiraz and the soils and climates of South Australia.
