Bouchard Finlayson, Galpin Peak Pinot Noir 2020
Bouchard Finlayson Galpin Peak Pinot Noir is beautifully balanced, rich, and dark, with inviting aromas of berries, plums, and subtle floral notes. The palate is expressive and refined, showing pure fruit flavours and a smooth, generous finish. It’s drinking well now but has the structure to age gracefully for several years. The wine comes from the estate’s clay-rich soils in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, an area perfectly suited to Pinot Noir. Unusually for South Africa, the vineyards are planted in tightly spaced rows following the traditional Burgundian model. This encourages natural competition between vines, resulting in smaller yields and fruit of greater intensity, depth, and colour - a hallmark of Galpin Peak’s distinctive character.
La Dame D'Angludet Margaux 2021
La Dame d'Angludet is the second wine of Château Angludet, one of Margaux's most respected family estates, crafted from the same gravelly, well-drained soils that define the appellation's signature elegance. Made with the same dedication as the Grand Vin, this is Margaux at an approachable price — without compromise on finesse or character. Why You'll Love It This is classic Margaux at its most accessible — poised, refined, and genuinely cellar-worthy. Rather than a simple declassification, La Dame d'Angludet is crafted with the same rigour and terroir as the estate's flagship wine, offering the silky texture and aromatic complexity that makes Margaux one of Bordeaux's most celebrated appellations. Exceptional quality for the price. Vineyard & Production Sourced from Château Angludet's gravelly, sandy soils in the Margaux appellation — ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. The fruit is handpicked and carefully selected before fermentation and maturation in French oak, striking a balance between fruit purity and gentle structure. The result is a wine of real Bordeaux character: balanced, graceful, and built to evolve. Tasting Notes Elegant and expressive, the 2021 opens with aromas of cassis, dark cherry, liquorice, and subtle spice. On the palate it is supple and refined, with ripe dark berry fruit, polished tannins, and a long, poised finish that hints at further development with age. Perfect Pairings A natural companion to fine cuts of beef, roast lamb, game dishes such as venison or wild boar, and well-flavoured hard cheeses. Also excellent alongside a classic Sunday roast or a slow-braised short rib. The Blend Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot — Margaux, Bordeaux, France
