Grape Varietals: 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc
Vintage: 2010
Tasting Note– This clear, bright wine is ruby-red in colour, with a complex nose of soft fruit (blackberry, blackcurrant and strawberry) and attractive woody and spicy overtones. Château Timberlay is soft and full-bodied, with good structure and acidity, as well as very elegant tannin. The finish is very long with hints of vanilla and cinnamon.
Grape Varietals: 50% Merlot, 50% Cabernet Sauvignon
Vintage: 2015
Tasting Note– An immensely appealing wine with an intense purple colour and violet highlights. The powerful bouquet is quite fruity (red fruit and candied fruit) with added hints of truffle and chocolate. Hearty and well-structured, Pavillon Cardinal is tannic, fruity and especially attractive due to the way its long, fruity aftertaste develops on the palate.

Tasting Note– The nose is up-front, elegant and intense, dominated by aromas of red fruit. The attack is soft, the development is round and fruity, the tannins are soft and velvety. The finish is long, fruity and pleasant. A very soft, fruity, harmonious and well balanced wine.

Vintage: aaaa
Tasting note: A very classy Claret nose leads on to a ripe, flavoursome Merlot palate, smooth with a surprisingly long finish for a wine at this level. Fantastic with a classic Sunday roast and also good with lamb dishes.
Appellation: Bordeaux Supérieur
Blend: 50% Merlot
50% Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting note: The Cuvée Raphaël is always a very dense, very concentrated wine with elegant tannins that stand out, but are mellow and smooth. They are elegantly woody, but not excessively to leave plenty of room for the fruit.
Appellation: Bordeaux Blanc AOC
Blend: 70% Sauvignon
20% Semillon
10% Muscadelle
Tasting note: The Sauvignon produces aromatic strength and freshness, while the Semillon complements this with a certain degree of roundness on the palate. The Muscadelle adds intense white flower notes to the aromatic range of the finished wine.
All in all, a white wine with intense white and citrus fruit aromas, which is both fresh and round on the palate.
Appellation: Grand Vin de Bordeaux
Blend: 50% Merlot
40% Cabernet Sauvignon
9% Cabernet Franc
1% Malbec
Tasting note: The Bordeaux Clairet is particularly aromatic and has a very deep red fruit colour. It is also more substantial than traditional rosés, with good body and exuberant fruitiness, which comes the wine being produced from the musts run off just after vatting begins (called saignée)
