Pavillon Cardinal, Saint Emilion 2015, Bordeaux, France

pavillon-cardinal

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.

Louis Roederer Brut Rosé 2012, Champage, France

Roederer-Brut-RoseVarietal/Blend: 65% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay

Tasting note: Golden pink hue with bright red tints. Persistent streams of bubbles. Intense bouquet of ripe fruit (blackcurrant) and candied orange, accompanied by subtle notes of orange blossom and Madagascar vanilla. The rounded, smooth, silky, full-bodied palate has notes of hazelnut and cocoa beans and is lengthened by a fresh, chalky finish.

Louis Roederer BrutVarietal/Blend: 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Meunier

Tasting note: Striking a perfect balance between youthfulness and maturity, freshness and vinousity, Brut Premier is harmonious and structured, elegant and lively, with a unique exuberance. Its structured texture, richness, and length are distinctly winey. It is a full, complex wine that is both rich and powerful, whilst remaining a great classic.
