Peter Michael 'L'Esprit des Pavots' Estate Red is made from 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, 8% Petit Verdot.
The saturated garnet 2022 ‘L’Esprit des Pavots’ features an intense nose of cassis, black cherry, ripe plum and blackberries with hints of black olive, black tea and baking spices. The soft, supple entry and round generous tannins combine for a plush mouthfeel and elegant finish. This is a fleshy vintage of ‘L’Esprit des Pavots’ which can be approached in its early years but will continue to expand with age.
Review:
“The deep ruby/magenta-colored 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon L’Esprit Des Pavots is a blend of Knights Valley and Oakville… fruity upfront… rich and concentrated… polished tannins and a great finish. A great value in the vintage.”

Michelet Chablis Premier Cru Beauroy is made from 100 percent Chardonnay.
Chablis is the northernmost wine region of Burgundy, renowned for producing some of the world's finest and most mineral-driven Chardonnay. The Premier Cru 'Beauroy' vineyard is located on the right bank of the Serein River on slopes with Kimmeridgian clay and limestone soils rich in fossilized oyster shells.
This wine displays a brilliant pale gold color with green reflections. The nose offers aromas of citrus, white flowers, and characteristic flinty minerality. On the palate, it is precise and elegant with bright acidity, flavors of green apple and lemon, and a long mineral finish.
Pairs excellently with oysters, shellfish, sushi, or simply prepared white fish.
