Château Barrejat, Pacherenc du Vic Bilh Sec, Signature 2024
Over to Michael for this one: “I cook slow roasted chicken, stuffed with lemon and garlic, smothered in butter and pimentón, on a bed of potatoes, for my family on a Sunday at least once a month and this is the wine that goes with it. Chock full of green fruit and blossom it has the character and interest to match the meal - a south-west brasserie wine with a classic brasserie dish".
A little known - and hard to pronounce - but delicious Gros Manseng from the same area as...

Chateau Barrejat, Madiran, Tradition, 2022
Madiran has a reputation in some quarters for being old school, dark, tannic and leathery. This blend of local grape Tannat (about 60%) with Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc (20% each) is anything but that: it's beautifully ripe and silky - the best country wine you could imagine. In this sunny vintage it evinces black-fruited aromas followed by a gorgeous mouthful of red and black fruit backed by a weave of supple tannins.

Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Francis a parent of Cabernet Sauvignon.
A cross of it with Sauvignon Blanc resulted in Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Franc tends to be softer and has less tannins than Cabernet Sauvignon, although the two can be difficult to distinguish. Many of the red wines of the Loire are primarily Cabernet Franc.

Château Barrejat, Madiran, Cuvee des Vieux Ceps, 2022
Vieux Céps = Old vines, and these are dramatically ancient, some over 80 years old and some actually pre-phylloxera, so perhaps over 150 years old. 80% Tannat plus the Cabernets, well-oaked. That oak shows with overt toast on the nose. Flamboyant flavours of cherry, plum and blueberry, all tinged with mocha. Dense, full-bodied; and with plenty of tannin to keep it going - enjoy now or keep for years. Now-2030
"Full bottle 1,244 g. These old vines are probably 80 years old...

Great choice of good-value wines in the January sales. The website is really easy to use to make up an order. Delivery, as is often the case, was within 24 hours and, as usual, was well-packed.Read More
