Only a tiny fraction of clarets win a Gold medal. Those that do always taste great ... and, in a vintage like 2009, they are amazing - across the board.

Chateau de Frimand is proof that it wasn't just the mighty First growths that excelled in this miracle year. It's a picture postcard Bordeaux estate too - with a lovely limestone residence surrounded by just four hectares of vines.

You'd think Cabalié was fortified with a splash of it!Actually the secret lies in the rugged local vineyards - they are home to some of the oldest vines in France. Their stunningly concentrated fruit gives Cabalié its ripe, red berry depth of flavour. And, with 12 awards in just five vintages, top show judges are obviously among the legions of fans, too!

Taste Cabalié and you'd think it was bolstered with a splash of the local fortified vin doux naturel. But in fact its intensity comes from some of the oldest Grenache vines in France. Their stunningly concentrated grapes give Cabalié extraordinarily ripe, deep red berry flavours. Boasting 12 medals in five vintages, this legendary wine is in its element with a slow braised beef casserole.

Ripe plums, tobacco, cedar. This is a densely packed Beychevelle with plenty of tannins and firm structure for long term aging. The fruit is in the background but should surface once the tannins are tamed. Not a polished style, but it is a wine with plenty of charm.
