This wine is an original. Made from 100% of the rare Sauvignon Gris, its flavors are reminiscent both of the freshly herbaceous character of Sauvignon Blanc, and the spicy character of Pinot Gris. Add in a touch of new wood, and you have a fascinating and complex wine.

This wood-aged wine from Lamothe de Haux is rich and concentrated. The toasty flavors from oak give a fascinating edge of complexity to the smooth vanilla and black plums of the fruit. It could age over 2 years.

Round and rich, this is packed with pear and apricot flavors, producing a full-bodied character. It has weight and a citrusy edge of acidity, with a soft, ripe finish.

A full style, rounded and soft, with fresh white pear and plum flavors. It has a perfumed character from the 20% Muscadelle in the blend, which gives it ripeness but diminishes the fresh acidity.

One of two reds from the Chombart family’s 209-acre estate. This simpler one emphasizes fresh black currant fruit flavors rather than complexity. There is a good balance between fruit, acidity and some smooth tannins. It’s a wine for a good piece of grilled chicken.
