To appear in the French wine Guide Gilbert & Gaillard 2012 (published in French, English, Chinese and Japanese)

> B&G Bordeaux Gold Label Rouge 2009
    Note 83/100

Tasting notes:
Deeply-coloured. Expressive nose of ripe red and black berry fruits with subtle smoky notes. A fleshy, melted, quite opulent Bordeaux. The tannins are polished, fruit is evident and the finish is vanilla-infused. A pleasant effort. Drink with barbecued foods.

 

> Les Charmes de Magnol Rosé 2009
    Note: 84/100

Tasting notes:
Beautiful clean pink. Clearly defined nose of red berry fruits and a touch of boiled sweet. On the palate, a wonderful clean, fleshy rosé with focused, fruity, crisp and even spicy aromas. An ideal match for barbecued foods.

> Château Magnol 2008
    Note 89/100

Tasting notes:
Deep red. Enticing nose of fresh red fruits and very subtle oak notes. On the palate, fine-grained, silky substance, lovely freshness. A well balanced, lingering Haut-Médoc deploying a touch of finesse.

 

> Thomas Barton Reserve Saint Emilion 2007
    Note 84/100

Tasting notes:
Deep colour. A mix of jammy red fruits, macerated fruits and oak notes on the nose. A medium body wine displaying a measure of firmness and more of the oak tannins. A classic style wine, a tad austere, that works best with red meat.

> Prince Noir 2009
    Note 81/100

Tasting notes:
Deep crimson. A mix of ripe red and black fruits and toasted notes on the nose. The palate is generous and powerful. Polished, fruit-forward entry, faint hint of bitterness on the finish revealing oak influence.

 

> B&G Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
    Note 82/100

Tasting notes:
Deep crimson. Distinctive nose with forward fruit. Full, generous palate. A sun-drenched, supple wine with lingering black fruit expression. Can be served chilled.
