Our Wines & Spirits

Neal Martin: The 2014 La Creation is the tiny property owned andrun by Yseult de Gaye, married to Jean-Antoine Nony of Grand-Mayneand whose family owns Chateau Grand Corbin Manuel in Saint Emilion.The 4.6-hectare estate was known as La Tour Robert until 2012 whenthe de Gayes acquired the estate. It offers attractive blackberry,wild strawberry and incense aromas on the nose, generous yetmaintaining fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied withcrisp tannin, quite linear and compact at the moment, and yet thedetail and mineralite is very commendable, especially on thenuanced finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle and thenconsume over the next decade or so. This is delightful.
