French Icons Hamper Trio!

As the name suggests, our French Icons Hamper contains French classics for the connoisseur.  See why for many these are considered the benchmarks for what wines can be.

Louis Roederer Collection 244 - Today Collection, a new wine that is very much aligned with its times, is a perfect testament to Louis Roederer's mission to be the best possible interpreter of the great terroirs of Champagne.  This 244th blend from the Louis Roederer Champagne House is based on the finest successes of the 2019 harvest.  Collection 244 is an ode to taste and drinking pleasure. Each year, the Cellar Master composes a new symphony, inspired by the tonalities of the year and then adds the wines from the Perpetual Reserve and the oak-aged reserve wines.The Perpetual Reserve makes up a significant proportion of the Collection blend and provides its balance and freshness. In Collection 244, it represents 36% of the blend.

Le Domaine d'Henri, Chablis 1er Cru L'Homme Mort Vieilles Vignes 2021 - Extraordinarily fine and restrained for arguably Chablis’s most exuberant Premier Cru, this is an intense, precise wine with real focus. Lots of fine mineral notes wrapped up in viscous citrus fruit give a wonderful, textured finish.

Chateau La Pointe 2021 Pomerol - The 2021 Château La Pointe Pomerol is a medium-bodied Bordeaux blend dominated by Merlot and matured in 50% new oak.  It has a light but well-defined bouquet with graphite infused red fruit (that trait is accentuated in a bottle tasted at the château). Quite elegant in style. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannins, pretty red fruit and just a touch of piquancy on the finish.
