AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Concours des Vins Feminalise
AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Gilbert & Gaillard
AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: 70 Million de Degustateurs
AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: International Wine Challenge

Aromas of red fruits and blackcurrant, with just a whiff of oak aging on the nose. Soft and gently mouth-filling on the palate with well integrated tannins that support the ripe red plump fruit. Unfussy with touches of cedar giving spice and a cooling freshly picked mint aspect that lifts the finish. Lovely balanced Bordeaux from a great vintage.

ChâteauBois Pertuis belongs to the Family Helfrich and is located in Saint-Christophe-de-Double.  The estate is 72 hectares and stretches over a terroir 20 km north of Saint-Emilion. The terroir is made up of gravel and sand which brings real finesse to the wines, this combined with a portion planted on clay which adds richness.

1 x Villa Blanche Syrah 2021 (France)

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Syrah du Monde
AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Bettane & Desseauve

"What a glorious Syrah this 2021 vintage has produced! It is an intense purple red, with a superbly balanced nose of wild strawberries, blackberries, and laurel, followed by peppermint and fresh coconut. The tannins are supple, melting, and smooth, underpinning the fullness and length of the palate. As in previous years we find the characteristic notes of blackcurrant and blackberry with a finish on notes of cinnamon, lemon verbena and vanilla. Pure sunshine in a bottle, this Syrah nevertheless possesses a tangible freshness typical of northern terroirs. It is one of the best loved wines in our Villa Blanche range" Winemakers notes

A vibrant and juicy, unoaked red wine, showing great purity and the typical of high-altitude Tempranillo, with expressive and well-defined aromas of red berries, rosemary and a touch of liquorice. Bright ruby red colour. Organic and Vegan.

Deep red in colour with a ripe, expressive nose of berries, plums and smoked spice. The palate is rich and opulently fruited, packed with dark berried Shiraz fruit matched by structured, savoury Tempranillo and framed by silky tannins. Impressively complex and well balanced, this wine will gain character and complexity in the cellar for up to five years.
