CHÂTEAU CRABITEY GRAVES, 2019

"This is one of the classic wine myself and David Whelehans will be showing at Grub Circus this weekend - chosen to focus on flavour and layers. A blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Sémillon with citrus, apple, guava and other tropical aromas, textured and complex with lively freshness and pleasing weight and length and a beguiling finish that offers freshness as well as length."

LES HÉRITIERS SAINT GENYS CLOS MARCILLY CUVÉE CLOVIS ROUGE, 2019

"If the crowds at Grub Circus don't vote for this I give up! This is just gorgeous and from a Monopole (single, family owned, vineyard) planted with old vines (pre 1957). Ripe cherry, blackberry and spice aromas, layered and plush with ripe red fruits mingling with subtle forest floor hints and a long finish that evolves and develops for a full minute (I counted). "
