Description
Savignin is the iconic white grape of the Côtes du Jura. The Domaine Rijckaert vineyards of Savagnin are located in Buvilly, a blessed terroir for great white wines. The blend was made with the aim of highlighting the amazing complexity of this unique variety! At once expressive, rich and refreshing. This rustic grape variety is both powerfull and fine, and when carefuly vinified, it expresses an unrivalled complexity. 2018 was a brilliant vintage, perfectly ripe, exceptionally balanced and with abundant energy.

Chateau Guiraud, Sauternes, 2017
First Growth. Premier Cru Classe in 1855. Every autumn a microscopic fungus called le « Botrytis Cinerea » appears and transforms the grapes. This is the famous 'noble rot' that is Nature's gift to Chateau Guiraud. In autumn the grapes take on a dark colour which can even seem austere, but this 'noble rot' is a precursor of aromatic expression. Understanding this phenomenon is essential as only the grapes that have been perfectly concentrated by the Botrytis will be picked one by one.
L’HETRE (Jacques Thienpont)
l'Hêtre 2016 is a blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc and was aged for 15 months in oak barrels. It has a dark purple colour; fresh and sweet on the nose with a good expression of autumn fruits; on the attack the wine is firm and rich with good, ripe tannins and a round, silky structure; on the palate the wine is fresh and spicy.
