- “Le P’tit Canon” de Château Lariveau, Canon-Fronsac 2019. Intensely savoury fruit depth, deep earthiness, blackberries, blueberries, licorice, cherries, claret-like nuance that will exaggerate with age, and then a palate that is tight with gripping tannin, intense juiciness, and length. Decant! Merlot/Cab Franc. Usually $39.95 per bottle. 1 bottle in this mixed dozen.
- Domaine de Berthenet “Les Macles” Montagny 2020, white Burgundy. 100% Chardonnay. The aromatics here are punchy and ripe with tropical notes of pineapple, fleshy juicy peaches, rock melon, salty caramel, and mango, while the palate is sheer class with driving acidity, fresh, long, dry, and tingling on the tongue. Usually $48.95. 1 bottle in this mixed dozen.
- Château Les Graves de Viaud “Origine” 2016 from the Côtes de Bourg. The 2016 “Origine” packs oodles of time-mellowed fruit, attractive and refined, earthy aged character, nice oak, fragrant and pretty, while the palate is graceful with good firm grip and length. Stylish and complete claret entering its prime. Certified organic and biodynamic.Merlot/Cab Franc. Usually $39.95 per bottle. 1 bottle in this mixed dozen.
- Bruyère et David “Plaisir” Syrah 2020. From a parcel of vines directly adjacent to Côte-Rôtie in the northern Rhône Valley. 100% Syrah (AKA “Shiraz”). Immediately dark to the eye and offering a perfume cloud of classic northern Rhône spicy pepperiness, raw in its youthfulness and fully candid take on the variety, and then a palate that is smooth enough, but firm enough too, with elegance, balance, and edgy length. Normally $42.95. 1 bottle in this mixed dozen.
- “Montjau” Côtes-du-Rhône 2020. Grenache, Shiraz, Carignan and Mourvèdre blend. Powerful fruit, blackberry jam, clean and clear, depth, ripe and jubilant, while the palate is round, flavoursome, and smooth. Certified organic. Normally $27.95. 1 bottle in this mixed dozen.
- Château Pithivier, Bordeaux 2019. Simply fantastic value-for-money Bordeaux quaffer that sells out every time. Dark fruit flair and a softly elegant structure. Gold Medal at the Gilbert and Gaillard 2021 wine challenge. Merlot. Usually $23.95 per bottle. 2 bottles in this mixed dozen
- “Le Gris d’Ardèche” ROSÉ from the Vignerons of the Ardèche 2021. 100% pure Grenache.
Bright strawberry, jubes, bath salt notes, while the palate is dry, fresh, and with excellent tension. Vibrantly young and the first wine I have seen from the most recent/2021 harvest. Superb rosé of serious class. Normally $22.95. 2 bottles in this mixed dozen.

How to order.
Because this is a mixed dozen, it has to be added to your cart in multiples of 12. So to order one of these mixed dozens, put 12 bottles in your cart, or to order two of these mixed dozens, put 24 bottles in your cart, etc. This mixed dozen has been priced at $28.16 per bottle because $28.16 x 12 = $337.92, which is the correct price to pay for it.
Please also note that if the stock counter towards the top of this page is showing “792 in stock”, for example, that means that there are 66 mixed dozens available because 792 divided by 12=66. Or if it showed there were “12 in stock” that doesn’t mean that there are 12 of these suggested mixed dozens available but actually just one of them because 12/12=1, etc. In other words, the stock count figure shows the total number of bottles not the number of dozens available.
