The 2009 Batasiolo Barolo Cerequio wine has a deep garnet red color with delicate orange tinges. With un-mistakeable and unique aromas, it has balsamic hints of vegetables, flowers and spices that make Barolo Cerequio immediately recognizable. This Barolo Cerequio wine evokes memories of incense, wax, tobacco and coffee magically blended with a delicate ethereal note. This Italian Red wine has a palate of great persistence, full-bodied, elegant, harmonious and balanced.

Beni di Batasiolo is the largest family-owned wine producer in Italy’s Piedmont region. Since 1978, the winery has grown to encompass over 320 acres of vineyards. The Dogliani family works with the land and allows nature to ensure their wines’ quality comes first. The Batasiolo’s vines prosper across nine beni or estates in Piedmont, Italy.

This Batasiolo Barolo Cerequio wine is ideal in combination with dishes of red meats, game, roasts and cheeses and cured meats.

The Bouchard Pere & Fils Chassagne Montrachet 2011 wine has a pale gold colour with green shades. Rich bouquet of white fleshed fruit entwined with a delicate touch of oak. Very perfume mouth, with a silky and unctuous texture. 100% Chardonnay.

The Charles Melton Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 has a wonderfully complex cigary sweet lift on the nose, whilst the amalgam of dark fruits holds your interest with a myriad of complementary notes. The attack into the mouth gives an extraordinary sweet plushness with great dark fruits/chicory flavours supported by a fleshy mid palate sweetness that lingers.

The Chateau Devise d’Ardilley Cru Bourgeois 2011, is a full-bodied wine and soft, balanced tannins with complicated aromas. Especially ripe fruit and green pepper aromas. This wine has elegant oak, leather and nuts flavors.

This 2009 Chateau La Fleur Petrus wine offers a deep, layered bouquet of blackberries, plums, chocolate, dried flowers, and earth. This Pomerol wine is a big, voluptuous, opulent example of this cuvée, with a power-packed, deep, rich style. This red wine has ripe tannin and a huge finish. Just across the road from Pétrus, la Fleur-Pétrus shares some of the same intensity. Drink this sensational wine anytime over the coming 2-3 decades.

The 2009 Chateau La Fleur Petrus wine has a blend of 90/10 Merlot and Cabernet Franc aged in 50% new oak. This tour de force shows how impressive the 2009 vintage was for Bordeaux.
