Chateau Ampelia 2018...
2018 CHATEAU CROIX MOUTON 'BORDEAUX SUPERIEUR'<br />THE YEAR.<br />The M printed on the label of this fine-tasting and fleshy Bordeaux Supérieur wine marks the personality and particularities of each vintage and changes<br />colour every year. This cuvée from Château Croix Mouton, which dominates the Dordogne, is made exclusively from Merlot, the emblematic grape variety of<br />the right bank of the Garonne, and has a deep ruby red colour with beautiful shiny reflections. On the palate, small, acidic red fruits (mainly red plum, cherry)<br />follow one another. On the palate it is full-bodied and juicy, full of charming finesse. This wine is best appreciated when young, when its fruity bouquet<br />shows all its vivacity.<br />THE CHÂTEAU CROIX MOUTON ESTATE<br />Château Croix Mouton is located in the town of Lugon on the right bank of the Bordeaux River and covers almost 70 hectares of vines. It is owned by the<br />Janoueix family and thrives on the clayey soil of Carney Island. The 2019 grape varieties focus on Merlot (96%), complemented by Cabernet Franc (2.5%),<br />Malbec (1%) and Petit Verdot (0.5%). The vines are on average 38 years old. The planting density is about 3,600 to 6,000 vines per hectare.<br />The work in the vineyard is meticulous and includes tillage, grassing, thinning and some leaf thinning. After sorting at harvest, vinification takes place in<br />concrete and stainless steel tanks with openings and regular puncturing. Fermentation takes place under temperature control (maximum 26-27 °C). The<br />maturatThe story of Ampélia is about a meeting, a challenge and a conviction.<br />In 1996, three years before acquiring the lands of Ampélia, François Despagne inherited the<br />Grand Corbin-Despagne estate from his family, making it the seventh generation of his<br />family at the helm of this Saint-Emilion property.<br />François then eagerly sought a new challenge and created a new vineyard -this time, not in<br />Saint-Emilion, but in Castillon - Côtes de Bordeaux, the bordering appellation.ion period is between three weeks and one month. Maturation lasts between three<br />and four months on the fine lees in barrels (20%) and in vats with or without wood (80%).<br />The top Bordeaux produced by the estate are pleasant, fruity wines that tend to be drunk at a young age. Gourmet and fleshy wines that are also quite<br />accessible.<br />

Magnum Le Volte 2023 IGT...
LE VOLTE DELL'ORNELLAIA 2023<br />TOSCANA IGT ROSSO<br />Instantly enjoyable, versatile and playful, Le Volte dell'Ornellaia is all about conviviality. This bright red wine opens<br />the door to the world of Ornellaia and simply shares the passion for quality that is experienced every day on our<br />estate and with every sip.<br />TASTING NOTES<br />55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot Alc. : 13,5 % vol.<br />Le Volte dell'Ornellaia 2023 opens with ripe blueberry and blackberry aromas. Generous and enticing flavours ensue and<br />complement a beautiful balance between breadth and freshness. An enduring finish goes hand in hand with silky tannins<br />that elevate the wine's elegance.<br />THE 2023 GROWING SEASON<br />2023 was a challenging vintage in Bolgheri that, however, benefitted from Nature's benevolence during key<br />moments of the growing season. Winter was mild with relatively high temperatures and average rainfall that<br />resulted in early plant growth. Spring brought abundant rainfall that helped fill up water reserves for the summer,<br />but which also called for meticulous work in the vineyard. A hot summer saw high temperatures, albeit without<br />reaching any extremes, alongside rains that helped offset water stress in the vineyards. This enabled the grapes to<br />ripen gradually and regularly, allowing the berries to achieve high concentration.<br />Rainfall in late August and cool September nights helped aromatic complexity development and preserved the<br />acidity of the wine, resulting in a proper balance between power and elegance.<br />V INIFICATION AND AGEING<br />The different varietals were fermented separately in small steel tanks to maintain their characteristics. The alcoholic<br />fermentation was followed by malolactic fermentation, again in steel tanks. The wine was then aged for 10 months,<br />partly in barriques used previously for Ornellaia and partly in concrete tanks, to obtain the perfect balance between<br />tannic structure and the expression of fresh fruit.<br />
