Delamotte Brut Non-vintage

Its creamy freshness is further emphasised by the textural delicacy of its mousse. Many occasions lend themselves to opening a bottle of Delamotte brut agenerous champagne, clean and elegant. This is a champagne made for tenderness and pleasure, an absolute must for the cellar of all those who celebrate life.

The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill is a big-time winner

with sweet melted tannins nicely integrated

Both 2013s are clearly the finest Eisele wines made under the administration of François Pinault and his top lieutenant

density and purity
