(6x150cl) 2014Vinous - Antonio Galloni (90+)
The 2014 Clos des Jacobins is quite powerful and tannic. Dark red and purplish-hued stone fruits, wild flowers, mint, tobacco and sage add aromatic nuance. The tannins remain imposing and need time to soften. The blend is 80 % Merlot, 18 % Cabernet Franc and 2 % Cabernet Sauvignon. Hubert de Boüard is the consulting winemaker.HK$2,545.00 -

The 2017 Clos des Jacobins is a dark, sumptuous beauty. Succulent dark cherry, red plum, mocha, spice, menthol and pine all flesh out as the 2017 shows off its alluring, inviting personality. Generous and creamy on the palate, with terrific depth, the Clos des Jacobins is a winner in 2017. All the elements are impeccably balanced throughout, and the wine finishes with good energy and depth. This has the structure to age. Tasted two times.HK$3,695.00 -
(12x75cl) 2021Vinous - Antonio Galloni (89-91)
The 2021 Clos des Jacobins is a pretty, mid-weight Saint-Émilion. Bright red cherry fruit, cedar, spice, tobacco and blood orange lend quite a bit of energy throughout. Pretty floral top notes reappear on the finish. This is nicely done.HK$2,640.00 -
Vinous - Antonio Galloni (94+)
The 2022 Clos des Jacobins is a wine of imposing depth yet also fine balance. Black cherry, plum, espresso, new leather, lavender and spice are all finely cut in a Saint-Émilion that offers an intriguing mix of body and energy. I would give this a few years in bottle, as the tannins are a bit imposing today. There's room to grow here. This is very nicely done.HK$1,510.00 -

I love the whites from this vintage and the 2015 Clos des Lunes Blanc is well worth seeking out. Brought up all in barrel and a blend of mostly Sémillon, it’s a vibrant, intense white offering lots of caramelized lime, mint, honeysuckle, and a hint of minerality, full-bodied richness, impressive concentration, and great acidity. It can be drunk over the coming 4-5 years or cellared for even longer.HK$1,385.00 -

Based on 70% Semillon and 30% Sauvignon, the flagship 2017 Clos Des Lunes Lune D'Or Blanc is a tiny production cuvee from more clay and limestone soils, from tiny yields, that spent 18 months in 25% new French oak. It’s brilliant stuff, which should surprise no one who’s tasted the whites from Olivier Bernard’s Domaine de Chevalier. Awesome notes of caramelized citrus, white flowers, pineapple, chocolate, and crushed rocks all emerge from this medium to full-bodied, concentrated, straight-up classy white that does everything right. Give bottles another year or two and enjoy over the following decade.HK$1,050.00 -

Lots of taut sinew here supporting the beam of black cherry, plum, tar and mineral flavors, with sweet earth, tobacco and cocoa powder on the finish. This wine has gotten progressively bigger over time and still seems in its ascendancy. Terrific focus and purity.--1995 Châteauneuf-du-Pape retrospective. Drink now through 2020. 8,330 cases made. -JMHK$3,695.00 -

The Burgundian-styled 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape is drinking at point today. Possessing beautiful notes of forest floor, truffles, spice, garrigue and sweet cherry and kirsch like fruit, this beauty has notable freshness and purity, medium to full-bodied richness, fine tannin and a layered, integrated texture that keeps you coming back to the glass. There's no need to delay gratification here and I'd enjoy bottles over the coming 4-5 years.HK$8,220.00 -
(12x75cl) 2006
Vinous - Josh Raynolds (94-97)
Foudre #1 (the fine one, according to Avril): Bright red. Intense strawberry and raspberry on the nose, with subtle garrigue and minerals adding complexity. Silky red fruit flavors show seductive spice and floral pastille qualities. Finishes with great persistence. Foudre #2 (the tannic one): Ruby-red. Bright red fruit aromas, with a deep undercurrent of licorice adding seriousness. The palate shows very spicy bitter cherry and dark berry liqueur flavors, chewy tannic grip and a long, vibrant finish. If this is Avril's idea of tannic in 2006, the final wine should be a supple beauty. Foudre #3 (the concentrated one, from 80-year-old vines cropped at15 hl/ha): Inky ruby. Rich cherry and cassis aromas, with a deep tapenade quality adding complexity. Sappy, sweet and packing major dark berry punch, this clocks in at 16.5% alcohol, but there's no obvious heat. An approximate blend: I hate doing this, but why not, said Avril, who doesn't believe that on-the-spot blends are accurate reflections of what winds up in the bottle. But this was his idea, not mine! Dark ruby. Powerful kirsch and blackcurrant aromas, with exotic licorice and fresh floral character expanding with air. Pliant dark berry and bitter cherry flavors carry through the long, sappy finish. A balanced, sweet powerhouse from this vantage point, with the concentration to age for at least a decade or two.HK$9,805.00 -

One of the great vintages from this estate, surpassing even the 1990, 2000, 2001, 2003, and maybe the 2010 (time will tell with this one), the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape from Vincent Avril delivers everything you could want from a wine. Full-bodied, intense and beautifully concentrated, with plenty of muscle and depth, it shows the hallmark elegance and purity of the estate, with sensational notes of kirsch liqueur, raspberries, incense, smoked meats and Asian spices. The blend is the normal 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah and the rest a mix of permitted varieties, brought up all in older foudre, and it's just now entering its prime drink window and has another two decades of longevity.HK$19,645.00 -

One of the stars of the vintage and coming from absurdly low yields of 18 hectoliters per hectare, the 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape is a full-bodied, seamless effort that exhibits copious kirsch, ground pepper, dried flowers and underbrush as well as incredibly fine tannin, great mid-palate concentration and ample length on the finish. Relatively forward by this estate’s standards, it will be approachable at an earlier age than normal. Nevertheless, it will have 20+ years of evolution and is an awesome effort in the vintage.

Showing no bricking at all, the 2012 Chateauneuf du Pape is in its early maturity. There's a lovely mushroomy savoriness layered against black cherries and cola, earth and spice. Full-bodied, supple and almost creamy-plush in texture, it's ready to drink now yet should easily go another decade.HK$3,570.00 -

Paul and Vincent Avril, a father and son team, established themselves as one of the finest producers of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Despite being predominantly Grenache, it is reminiscent of an elegant northern Rhône Syrah with the texture of a Pinot. With a medium bodied intensity, it has a beautiful red fruit expression with some savoury notes. Harmony, finesse and elegance are probably the three words that best describe this beauty. One for the cellar.HK$5,865.00 -
