AWARDED 90/100 POINTS: Robert Parker's – The Wine Advocate

"This is wonderfully rich and generously styled, showing dark fruit intensity on the nose with nuances of vanilla, hazelnut and cocoa. The palate is equally satisfying with excellent weight and intensity, well supported by silky texture and a lingering supple finish" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"Calmel & Joseph continue to produce reasonably priced, well-made wines from throughout the Languedoc" RobertParker.com

1 x Villa Blanche Syrah 2019 (France)

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Mundus Vini

COMMENDED: Decanter Magazine 2019

A wine of reddish-purple colour with exquisite violet reflections. The nose opens with seductively powerful aromas of ripe black fruit, then come cocoa and mocha, with fig, prune and blackberry joining in the dance, mingling joyfully with vanilla and toasted notes. In the mouth, the smoothness of texture and the silkiness of the tannins are astonishing. The aromas echo the same black fruit enhanced with truffle-like notes of forest floor, leading to an opulent but superbly fresh finish. A wine gorged with sunshine that indulges the senses whilst maintaining a perfect balance that allows it to rise to all occasions.

1 x Passage du Sud Pays d'Oc Syrah 2019 (France)

AWARDED 90/100 POINTS & 4.5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2019

"It’s pristine and elegantly fragrant on the nose showing sweet cherry, strawberry, floral and mixed spice aromas, followed by a juicy palate that’s supple and friendly. Charming and smooth with bright fruit flavours. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"Smooth, spicy and slightly rustic Syrah with raspberry, pepper, and slightly floral characters. Moderately restrained flavours with peppery tannins on the finish" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review

Deep coloured in the glass. Aromas of black forest fruit and plums with hints of floral and spice notes. A full-bodied wine, with a rich, juicy palate. The rounded tannins and fresh acidity support the long finish.

1 x Les Jamelles Merlot 2018 (France)

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Gilbert & Gaillard – Les Experts du Vin

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Japan Women’s Wine Awards

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Selections Mondiales des Vins Canada

AWARDED 4.5 Stars: The Wine Writer

AWARDED 17.5/20 POINTS & 4 Stars: Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Aug 2020

"An elegant expression, the bouquet shows dark plum, dried herb, roasted nut and anise notes, followed by a well-rounded palate that's supple and smooth. It's fruit forward and flavoursome with gentle weight and fine tannins, finishing lingering and pleasingly dry" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2020

1x Les Vignerons Carignan Syrah 2019 (France)

This is ripe, fragrant and richly flavoured, showing dark plum, blueberry, almond and subtle spice notes on the nose. The palate is juicy and generous with excellent fruit purity as well as subtle savoury complexity, beautifully supported by fleshy mouthfeel and fine tannins. This is highly enjoyable, especially at this awesome price
