Château Pontey Lamartine Pessac-Léognan 2018 (750ml) Chile Chile Pinot NoirIn 2004, Dominique Haverlan set himself a new challenge.

These aromas are balanced with subtle notes of cocoa and spice

freshness and marked minerality are just some of the characte- ristics which define this great wine

rare burgers or aged cheeses

Michelle crafts this Columbia Valley Cabernet to highlight concentrated Washington red fruit in an accessible style

A nose of ripe raspberries

or even with dark chocolate desserts
