					<description><![CDATA[The Legend of La Fiole dates back to 1952 after a meeting between a winemaker from Châteauneuf du Pape and a renowned glass artist from the region. Together they imagined a bottle with curved shapes, reminiscent of the vines of old Grenache vines bent by the Mistral wind. Much more than a simple bottle, it became the ideal bottle for a great Châteauneuf du Pape wine.

<div class="overflow">
<div class="arts-split-text__line">Laurent Brotte has created a Fiole modelled on the original Fiole du Pape, a unique and rare item, partly hand-made and containing a fine reserve wine with good ageing potential. Each bottle has a unique handcrafted iridescent and textured glass label, made by a local Provençal master glassmaker. The Vintage Fiole is sealed with natural wax.</div>
<div>Producing Fiole Vintage is a complex process that requires expertise, passion and patience, with ageing and blending playing key roles in its creation. As the ageing process nears completion, the Brotte family and their oenologists determine the ideal blend proportions. This ancestral expertise brings out the best of each grape variety, creating a complex, well-balanced wine that reflects both its terroir and its vintage.</div>
<div>
<div class="overflow">
<div class="arts-split-text__line">When you drink a La Fiole Vintage, you experience the fruit of meticulous craftsmanship. Each sip reveals a refined complexity of fruit, oak, spice, and floral aromas, all thanks to the Brotte family's exceptional savoir-faire.</div>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TECHNICAL DATA</strong><br />
Alcohol 15.5%</p>
<p><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br />
This wine reveals a light ruby colour with slightly brick-red tints.</p>
<p><strong>NOSE</strong><br />
A remarkable aromatic intensity emerges, with aromas of undergrowth, cherries in alcohol and truffle intertwine with spicy notes of cloves and pepper, subtly enriched by nuances of orange peel and leather.</p>
<p><strong>PALATE</strong><br />
The attack offers a beautiful roundness, carried by elegantly expressed complexity. Flavours of dried fig and fruit in brandy combine with hints of tobacco, supported by remarkably fine tannins.</p>
<p><strong>AGEING</strong><br />
La Fiole Vintage wines are aged for a minimum of 10 years in oak barrels.</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
Fiole Vintage is the perfect accompaniment to refined dishes such as game in sauce, Rossini beef tenderloin or a selection of mature cheeses. A wine to savour slowly, to appreciate every nuance of its matured aromas.</p>

Much more than a simple bottle, it became the ideal bottle for a great Châteauneuf du Pape wine.
<div class="overflow">
<div class="arts-split-text__line">The terroirs are highly diverse, with Grenache primarily sourced from the north and central areas of the Vaucluse department, while Syrah comes from the northern part of the Gard department.</div>
</div>
<div class="overflow">
<div class="arts-split-text__line">The soils and microclimates from which this wine originates vary significantly, with each plot planted with the grape variety best suited to its conditions. Grenache, which makes up about 60% of the blend, thrives on hillsides with good southeast exposure and is planted in sandy-clay, clay-limestone and silty clay soils often covered with pebbles or gravel, as well as deep red clay. Pebbly soils impart concentration, clay-limestone adds power and depth, while sandy soils bring finesse to the blend.</div>
</div>
<div class="overflow">
<div class="arts-split-text__line">Syrah (around 30%) grows mainly on clay and sand at the foot of the slopes, contributing to a balance of freshness and finesse. Depending on the vintage, the blend may also include up to 10% of complementary grape varieties such as Mourvèdre, Cinsault, and Counoise.</div>
</div>
<div class="overflow">
<div class="arts-split-text__line">Fiole Réserve is classified as a Côtes du Rhône Villages, though its quality is on par with that of a Côtes du Rhône Villages with village name. However, since it is made from grapes sourced from several villages, such as Laudun, Valréas, Rochegude, Vinsobres, and Cairanne, it cannot be classified within this specific AOC segment.</div>

					<description><![CDATA[The Legend of La Fiole dates back to 1952 after a meeting between a winemaker from Châteauneuf du Pape and a renowned glass artist from the region. Together they imagined a bottle with curved shapes, reminiscent of the vines of old Grenache vines bent by the Mistral wind. Much more than a simple bottle, it became the ideal bottle for a great Châteauneuf du Pape wine.

This wine comes from various soil types, with each plot planted to match the grape varieties best suited to those soils. Grenache, which makes up about 70% of the blend, thrives on sandy-clay soils on hillsides with good south-southeast exposure. This givesthe grapes a fleshier, more concentrated character and provides a well-structured base for blending. Syrah (30%) is primarily grown on slightly silty clay at the foot of the slopes, where the cooler, more humid microclimate producesfresh, fruity grapes.

					<description><![CDATA[The Legend of La Fiole dates back to 1952 after a meeting between a winemaker from Châteauneuf du Pape and a renowned glass artist from the region. Together they imagined a bottle with curved shapes, reminiscent of the vines of old Grenache vines bent by the Mistral wind. Much more than a simple bottle, it became the ideal bottle for a great Châteauneuf du Pape wine.

The vines for La Fiole Côtes-du-Rhône white are located in the Gard department. This wine is sourced from vines planted in two distinct soil types of varieties suited to their specific terroirs. Grenache Blanc, which makes up about 60% of the blend, thrives on the sandy-clay soils at the foot of south-facing slopes. This produces a wine that is concentrated and well-structured, with fresh aromas and bright acidity, providing a solid base for blending with Clairette. Clairette (around 40%) is grown primarily on silty clay at the foot of the slopes. The cooler soils and slightly more humid microclimate result in fresher, more floral and citrus aromas, along with lively notes on the palate. This adds freshness and lift to the blend, creating wines with nice fat, fullness and suppleness on the palate and a lovely, long finish.

					<description><![CDATA[The year was 1924. It was the heart of the Prohibition Era and wine’s darkest hour when it was outlawed and deemed unconstitutional. It was also the year the Delicato family first planted vineyards in California and farmed grapes that were sold to friends and neighbors.

Crafted using grapes from select vineyards throughout Northern California, specifically from the Lodi region. Lodi’s climate is ideal for growing concentrated, full-flavored grapes—well draining sandy soil, warm summer afternoons and cooling nighttime breezes from the Pacific Ocean. The warm inland valley allows for generous heat during the peak summer months, producing a rich style of Pinot Noir.

Calon was the name given to the boat used in the Middle Ages to transport wood from one bank of the Garonne to the other. And in the early 18th century, the Marquis de Ségur, who acquired the estate upon his marriage, added his name to it, thus giving rise to the label of this 3rd Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Estèphe.

Château Calon Ségur has also become famous for the label adorning the bottles of the property. Since the 18th century, the heart has indeed been the emblem of the estate, paying tribute to the Marquis de Ségur's words: "I make wine at Lafite and Latour, but my heart belongs to Calon". For nearly three centuries, lovers of Château Calon Ségur have continued to remain faithful to this iconic property on the Left Bank of Bordeaux.

The estate’s second Wine offers a different interpretation of the Calon terroir. With an average of 75% Merlot in the blends, Le Marquis de Calon Ségur is totally distinct from the First Wine. “It benefits from a true expression of its own”, underlines Vincent Millet. “The plots are separated out from the beginning.” Le Marquis de Calon Ségur provides immediate enjoyment, warmth and a velvety texture. It is carefully aged generally for 17 months in oak barrels, a third of which are new. Deliciously easy-drinking, silky and expressive, its charm comes to the fore, while at the same time bringing to our minds the elegance of the Grand Vin.

<p><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br />
Deep purple-black in color.</p>

The medium to full-bodied palate is full of juicy black fruits with plush tannins and just enough freshness, finishing spicy.</p>

17 months, in 30% new barrels.</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
It pairs beautifully with grilled or roasted red meats, poultry and hearty dishes with earthy notes from mushrooms or truffles, matching its black fruit, spice, and supple tannin profile.</p>
