Château Haut-Bages Libéral 2021
The 2021 vintage, marked by cooler conditions and a later harvest, gave wines of classic structure and precision. Haut-Bages Libéral reflects this with lifted aromatics of cassis, blackberry, graphite, and violets, alongside a subtle cedar and spice note. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely etched Owned by the Lurton family since the 1980s, Château Haut-Bages Libéral has become a standout in Pauillac for its commitment to sustainable viticulture, including organic and biodynamic farming practices. The estate shares land next to Château Latour and behind Château Pichon Baron, so no wonder it producers impeccable wines, yet at a fraction of the price of the châteaux around them.
Lyme Bay, Pinot Noir 2024
Bright cherry red in the glass, this 100% Pinot Noir is packed with vibrant red fruits, layered with a touch of vanilla oak, soft herbs and gentle spice. Cherry, raspberry and redcurrant lead the way on the palate, with a hint of mulberry and a subtle earthy, mushroom note adding depth. It’s concentrated yet refined, with a smooth texture and a nicely lingering finish. Made from fruit sourced across several top Essex sites — Crouch Ridge Estate, Tudwick Hall, Riverview, Crows Lane and Martins Lane — it shows just how far English Pinot has come. Great with lamb and spot-on with game dishes.
