A deeper and more clayey terroir which is significantly exposed to more ripening heat in the summer, the Butteaux yields concentrated wines which are structured and very floral, with elegance and strength making them wines which are very representative of this appellation.
"Linear and elegant on the palate. Certainly a premier cru with great purity of fruit and one that, in 2022, is perhaps a little more classic in style. Refined, not a blockbuster. The deeper clay soils here provide additional protection in dry, warm summers." — 92 Points, Andy Howard MW, Decanter Magazine
If you like full bodied Italian style reds particularly Amarone then this is a really good everyday drinking alternative. Especially suited for winter meals or perhaps bbq lamb in summer. I’ve just finished ordering some more.
A great range to select from but scored 4 for a 2 day delivery in AKL & challenges in processing my order online.

The Calmel and Joseph, Villa Blanche Malbec, Syrah and Merlot are exceptional wines for day to day drinking. Although different styles of wine, they are all delicious. You won't be disappointed.
