Fattoria le Pupille Saffredi

eve — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 12:02:25 +0000

“Elisabetta Geppetti took over her family’s Tuscan estate in her early 20s and transformed it into a benchmark for Morellino di Scansano. Her pioneering spirit led to the area’s first Super Tuscan, Saffredi, putting this corner of the Maremma firmly on the wine world’s radar.
Today, Le Pupille delivers both outstanding value Sangiovese and collectible bottlings, all marked by vibrant fruit and Tuscan authenticity. Elisabetta’s story proves what vision and determination can achieve in a glass.”

Château des Graviers Margaux Magnum

eve — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 04:53:58 +0000

The Landry family owns 60ha of land, vineyards alternate with Landes forest as well as meadow and grassland where horses and cows graze peacefully. Christophe knows each parcel of his vineyard inside out, feeling closer to Burgundy in spirit than Bordeaux. Only the best lieux-dits are retained, he doesn’t believe in second wines, if a parcel isn’t good enough then he sells it on.
He returned to his family estate in Bordeaux in the mid-1990s, where he works tirelessly in the vineyard and the winery to create some of the best value for money wines around at all levels. His wines offer a clear, bright black cherry colour, a kernel of rich fruit with great depth, and superb texture with good freshness and marked mineral flavours. Very, very long on the finish. For drinking now to 2030+.

Château Puynormond Montagne Saint-Emilion Half

Four generations of the Lamarque family have shaped this Saint-Émilion satellite estate since 1923, where pre-phylloxera Merlot vines still thrive on their amphitheater slopes.
Two expressions reveal their terroir: an oak-aged cuvée with depth and spice, and a vibrant unoaked version, both bursting with ripe red fruit and silky tannins. These are wines that marry approachability with cellar-worthy structure, offering the best of both worlds.

Château Lanessan, a historic cru bourgeois estate near Saint-Julien, produces elegant Bordeaux wines.
