Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee da Capo Pegau 2003
Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee da Capo Pegau 2003 is a dry, very full-bodied red from Marsanne (Châteauneuf-du-Pape, France), in the rich, smooth reds style. Tannins are moderate and acidity gentle; oak influence is little. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 23-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with roast chicken, roast pork, steak, beef stew. Biodynamic farming is mentioned by the merchant.

Ermitage L`Ermite Chapoutier 2006 is a full-bodied single-vineyard white wine from the northern Rhône Valley. It presents a striking appearance with a golden hue. The nose reveals a medley of complex aromas, including toasted nuts, nuances of floral notes and hints of citrus zest. On the palate, it exhibits depth with pronounced mineral characteristics, reflecting the terroir of the celebrated Hermitage hill from which the grapes are sourced. The wine`s structure is robust, complemented by a lingering finish marked by subtle bitterness. Crafted from Marsanne grapes sourced from the estate`s oldest vines, this vintage exemplifies the meticulous hand-harvesting approach of Chapoutier, a producer known for its biodynamic viticulture practices.
