Mimi’s Hand-picked Highlights

First of all, you’ve our two star buys – unoaked Casa Elena Chardonnay from Chile’s Cremaschi Furlotti family and mature Selección Numerada 47 Reserva with creamy red berry fruit and spicy oak. I’ve also chosen peachy Graphite Road Chardonnay from Australia’s little known Manjimup region and the new vintage of Les Grands Cailloux Viognier with its mouth-watering aromas of apricots and honey. Finally, you’ve two fantastic reds from France – Vin de Bastide from Vincent Boyer’s domaine in the Rhône Valley and Château Saint-Paulin, a delicious, everyday claret that shows just what extraordinary value there is still to be found in Bordeaux.
