with ripe flavours of nectarine

The average age of the vines that supply fruit for this wine is already impressive (50+ years old) and that number is significantly boosted this year by the addition of Marcoux's 100+ year old vines in Charbonnières

Although Labet is well known for his whole bunch winemaking

this wine will not improve with further cellaring and should ideally be enjoyed soon after opening

now from a range of Chidaine's chalkier sites in Vouvray

Paxton ‘EJ 125 YR’ Shiraz 2022 nero-davola with ripe flavours of nectarineColour: Deep crimson. Bouquet: Vanilla and blaccurrant aromas with an elegant note of spicy oak and plum. Palate: A soft and elegant wine, with an intense concentration of red berry fruits from the 100 year old vines. The depth and weight of the wine drives through the mid palate. Delicately integrated French oak blends in beautifully with the natural tannin. Cellaring: Will reward cellaring for 10++ years.
