Vinous (93)
Opaque ruby. Deeply pitched black and blue fruit aromas are lifted and sharpened by a spicy nuance and a hint of fresh violet. The sappy, sharply focused blackberry and boysenberry flavors show a surprisingly light touch for their power. Closes supple and sweet, with velvety tannins lending shape. This suave wine is round, seamless and extremely appealing now but it has enough depth to ensure a slow and graceful evolution in bottle.HK$5,710.00 -
Vinous (92-94)
(aged in concrete tanks for the Grenache and barriques for the Mourvèdre) Deep ruby. Heady, smoke-accented aromas of black and blue fruits, incense and potpourri gain vivacity from a zesty mineral flourish. Densely packed black raspberry and blueberry flavors open up and turn spicier with air. Shows a suave blend of richness and finesse, offering outstanding focus and tenacity, subtle tannic grip and no excess fat.HK$3,950.00 -

Similarly colored to the classic cuvée, the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Quet is 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre. It offers a huge, rich, powerful style that never goes over the top and stays balanced and graceful. Currants, toasted spices, caramelized beef, and exotic notes all flow to a massively textured, powerhouse of a wine that has a stacked mid-palate, a bombastic personality, and a great finish. It needs two to three years of bottle age but is an incredible, heady, powerful wine.HK$4,235.00 -

Jancis Robinson (17.5)
Smoke, leaf litter, black cherry, very fine, misted tannins. Dry and stately. Lots of structure and not so much fruit power as some other vintages. Lovely expressive nose though – a really delicate example.HK$3,045.00 -

The 2000 Rouge is an absolute delight. Gently mellowed by the passage of time, the 2000 offers striking aromatic and flavor complexity. Like all of these wines, the 2000 has aged while retaining a good bit of tannic bite, but here all the elements are very nicely balanced. Dried cherry, spice, tobacco, leather and earthiness suggest a wine that is mature, but then the acids kick in. There is a good bit of life ahead here.HK$2,335.00 -

(1x75cl) 2013Wine Advocate (93)
The 2013 IGP Saint Guilhem le Desert features leafy, cassis and black cherry notes. Predominantly (70% to 80%) Cabernet Sauvignon, it's medium to full-bodied and silky in texture, with lingering hints of vanilla and tobacco on the finish. Potent and concentrated, it should drink well through at least 2025.HK$755.00 -

(1x75cl) 2018Vinous (93)
The 2018 Rouge opens with a burst of sweet red and purplish fruit that is immediately alluring. Medium in body and silky, the 2018 impresses with its understated finesse and total class. The 2018 can be enjoyed today for its primary fruit, but I would prefer to cellar it for a few years to gain a bit more nuance. It is such a pretty and effusive wine. Bright acids and persistent tannins, both Gassac signatures, linger.HK$1,410.00 -

A singular blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Tannat, 4% Melot, 4% Pinot Noir, 4% Petit Verdot, 4% Syrah and 3% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 IGP Saint Guilhem le Desert reveals a perfumed, complex bouquet of dark wild berries, violet, spices and mulberries mingled with carnal notes. Medium to full-bodied, elegant and balanced, it has a fleshy core of fruit framed by powdery tannins that segue into a long, penetrating and slightly wild finish. This is a moderately weighted, lively rendition of this iconic estate from the Languedoc.HK$2,775.00 -
The Fleur Morange Mathilde 2018 is a singularity in the realm of Saint-Émilion grand crus. This magnificent wine is a testament to the expert craftsmanship of its creators, Véronique and Jean-François Despagne. Cultivated from 100-year-old Merlot vines on a solitary hectare of limestone and clay soil, it captures the essence of one of the most revered wine appellations in Bordeaux.
The 2018 vintage proffers a fine balance of freshness and power, expressing a bouquet of ripe blackberries, black currants, and underlying earthy notes. This full-bodied wine, matured for 18 months in new oak, offers a lusciously dense palate, with a prolonged finish portraying the elegance and complexity of its terroir.
Fleur Morange Mathilde 2018's remarkable quality and charm resoundingly affirm the Despagne estate's commitment to preserving and propagating Saint-Émilion’s distinguished wine heritage. It's a captivating addition for any wine lover's collection.

There is a wealth of great French wine outside the ‘Big 4’ (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and Rhone). The Languedoc Roussillon with it’s herby, robust Mediterranean reds, Provence with its pale, vinous roses, Loire with its flinty Sauvignons, crunchy Cabernet Francs, and endlessly fascinating Chenins, Jura with its old fashioned curiosities… the list goes on. Tradition and terroir are the veins running through them all, making French wines still the most emulated in the world.
