Very deep red, solid, almost impenetrable.
Typical varietal expression with the bouquet developing on many levels. Aromas of violets, berries, blackcurrant, olives, black pepper and chocolate on a discreet background of vanilla and toasted bread.
Warm and generous, with soft tannins, dressed with plenty of fruit. Well structured and round with a persistent presence of spices in its long finish.
Food Pairing:
Lamb and goat in the oven, spicy meat dishes like lamb curry. Game, even boar, grilled steak, cooked red meats and mature yellow cheeses.
Errazuriz have long helped define the style for Chilean Merlot; it is full-bodied, generous and richly fruity with succulent blueberry and plum characters together with delicate savoury notes of coffee, chocolate and toasty oak, extremely stylish easy drinking.
The Casablanca Valley's near perfect conditions create fruit that is ripe and perfectly balanced, making Errazuriz Sauvignon Blanc fresh, crisp and lively with citrus and green apple characters together with light mineral notes on the long clean finish.
Pinot Grigio grapes have rather dark skins and they are left in contact with the fermenting juice for just the right amount of time to give this delicate Rosé wine its pink colour. With a fragrant nose of flowers and fresh fruit, soft and ripe on the palate, with delicate hints of raspberries this is a very easy wine to drink.
Pale goldcolour; delicate perfume of sage and apple; full flavour, fresh and lively, very savoury with a distinctive, pleasant aftertaste of sweet almonds.
A blend of Shiraz, Mourvedre and Viognier, all hand harvested in matured in 225L French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a deep red colour with notes of ripe blackberries, cassis and mocha and spicy pepper. A well balanced wine with smooth tannins and excellent concentration.
Jealousy Pinot Noir
Wild cherries and strawberry on the nose that is followed by a full, earthy palate.
Great by itself or to accompany a wide range of meat dishes, but could also be enjoyed with fish such as tuna or salmon.
Serving note: Would be good slightly chilled, especially in warm weather.
Classic, crisp, dry white wine with a delicate aroma of fresh cut hay and stone fruit. Served chilled and accompanies fish, poultry, salads and light snacks.
Medium sweet white wine with a floral bouquet and a palate of stone fruits and citrus. Served well chilled and can be enjoyed on its own or with canapés, fruit and cheese.
Finca La Linda Malbec is an intense purple color red wine, with distinct aromas as a result of the typicity of the variety: marked red fruit and a very delicate floral note. It repeats its fruity intensity on the palate, with round and smooth texture, good maturity and great character. Its sweet tannins add strength on the palate, a long and lingering finish completes an elegant and compact red wine. Recommended pairings: A perfect match for red meat, big game hunt meat and hard cheese.
Vineyard Notes
The grapes, selected from low yielding vines, come from the areas of Carcassonne and the Minervois, in association with Celliers Jean d'Alibert.
Winemaking Notes
The two varieties were vinified separately. Both went through a period of cold soak. fermentation on skins lasted 2 weeks prior to pressing. There was very limited use of press wine.
Tasting Notes
The blend of rich blackcurranty Cabernet and brambley, gently peppery Syrah makes this a very distinctive wine. The vanilla character of the oak is present but subtle, and the tannins are softer than in many Cabernets. A very luxurious drink; silky and satisfying.
Food Style
Good with a range of red meat dishes, but its soft fruity character makes this an attractive wine to drink by itself.
Tasting Notes
A very distinctive and immediately enjoyable Pinot Noir, this is a very juicy, raspberryish, cherryish wine with hints of strawberry and oak and a refreshing note of pepper.
Food Style
Great by itself or to accompany a wide range of meat dishes, but could also be enjoyed with fish such as tuna or salmon.
Serving note: Would be good slightly chilled, especially in warm weather.
Packed with rich, juicy ripe berry fruit flavours, a touch of soft tannin and a subtle twist of spice. Try it with a hearty meat dish, cheeses or simply lap it up all on its lonesome... Purrrfect!
Our 'Cunning Little Cat' (Le Petit Chat Malin' in its native French) is a tasty wine made from specially selected grapes harvested in the vineyards of the sunny South of France.
Dominated by ripe Merlot, this is a forward, blackcurrant-flavoured wine. It combines freshness with super-rich fruitiness, giving a wine that only hints at darker, smoky tannins. The dense texture plays on the ripe fruit and suggests wine for the medium-term.
Easy drinking southern French red. The blend of Grenache and Syrah is at once intensely fruity, warmingly southern and slightly aromatic on the nose. Plump and juicy with luscious texture and subtle twist of spice on the finish, it is a fruit-driven style brimming with blackberry flavours yet underpinned with a backbone that hints at something more serious. Delicious with a platter of antipasto or tomato & meat based pasta dishes. It can also be enjoyed on its own. Maybe a dog's life isn't so bad after all!
At Louis Jadot we have made fine Burgundy since 1859. Burgundy's reputation stems from the unique growing conditions, or "terroir", enjoyed by each separate vineyard. Louis Jadot wines celebrate this diversity, reflecting these all important natural differences of soil, aspect and climate.
Character: A classic fruity Gamay with real depth enhanced by the granite soil. Succulent fruit and soft tannins have been created by the traditional fermentation methods.
Vineyard: A large proportion comes from the village of Régnié. The wine is made at our Combe aux Jacques winery.
Serve with light meat, poultry and cheese. Can be served chilled.

Mendel is an old bodega situated at Drummond, Mendoza, built in 1928 and which was bought by the Sielecki family in 2002. They employed the highly respected Roberto de la Mota to make the wines. The wines are quite European in style, firm and structured as opposed to the more usual soft and fruity style, and are designed to develop in bottle. These wines are best enjoyed with food and benefit from decanting 30 minutes before drinking.
