757. Domaine Santa Duc, Gigondas, 2007
The bloody, gamey notes on this, coupled with plenty of peppery, spicy aromatics made this a decent enough match for a game stew on …
756. Champagne Jacquesson, Cuvée 736 Extra Brut, NV (2013)
A lovely way to see in both Christmas and New Years. This is another example of Jacquesson’s 7– series showing its quality. Particularly evident …
