This is stunning. Troplong never has trouble conjuring up wonderfully rich fruit, but here it is plump and dense without being pumped up. The tannins are chewy rather than chalky, but the elegance of the vintage is unmistakable, and the rich chocolate flavours are dusted with mint. There is a very pretty salinity on the finish that lasts for minutes. I had a fascinating visit here at the start of the week, and retasted several times as this is a wine that I sometimes have trouble understanding. My main takeout is that the majority of the richness here is found naturally in the terroir – limestone on the plateau but with cool clay over the top, which explains why they are such late harvesters. But there are always winemaking and viticultural choices coming into play in any wine, and here there are adjustments being made to bring out a more finely wrought version of what is always a high impact and successful wine. Yields are higher this year, up at 48hl/ha, which helps, as does the style of the vintage and quieter extraction in the cellar, but Troplong remains true to itself.

Perrier-Jouët Blason Rosé takes its inspiration from Maison Perrier-Jouët’s Blason de France prestige cuvées—introduced in 1955 and served in some of the world’s finest restaurants. Crafted with gastronomy in mind, this rosé is designed to accompany an entire meal, overturning the traditional idea that rosés are best saved for dessert.

A distinctive salmon-pink hue greets the eye, while intense aromas of ripe red and black fruit mingle with a hint of exotic pomegranate. On the palate, it is lush and lively, lingering into a generous, full finish—defying every cliché about rosé. Imagine a rose petal: delicate in appearance, yet traversed by veins that provide strength, structure, and tension underneath.

Its superb balance and impressive structure make Perrier-Jouët Blason Rosé a perfect partner for adventurous food pairings. “Try it with a rib of beef on the barbecue—it has the character and charisma to rise to the occasion,” suggests Cellar Master Séverine Frerson. Equally delicious with duck breast in blackcurrant sauce, this champagne promises to dazzle your senses from the first sip to the last bite.

Ebony wood (Diospyros crassiflora) are harvested in Gabon, Africa; Ebony is the darkest wood in the world and one of the few that does not float. Generally, Ebony trees are small and slow-growing. Worldwide demand for ebony wood is very high: it’s a high-quality hardwood that’s very hard, very strong, and most of all, very black. As a result, many species of Ebony have been banned from export, and international trade used on this model is highly regulated.

Extraordinarily complex bouquet, exceptionally full and persistent taste. Apricot, exotic fruit, freshly baked baguette and warm, yeasty notes with crushed mineral and menthol herb on the finish. The richness of the wine's texture is what really stands out. This is a creamy and enduring effort that wraps thickly over the palate with elegant mousse and long multi-layered finish.  An excellent wine for special occasions. It is a natural companion with Osetra Caviar, mushrooms and truffles, scallop and lobster.
