Chateau de Campuget
A splendid vineyard situated 15km south of Nimes(the birth place of denim), producing wines from grapes
grown on the Estate.
The rounded pebbles of the Rhône, the Southern sun, the Mistral Breeze, the emblematic grapes from the
Rhône Valley : Syrah, Grenache, Viognier – these are the fundamental elements that define the identity of
Campuget.
The philosophy is simple : constant improvement of the quality of our wines and a better knowledge of our
terroir and vines ; afterall, everything begins with the vine……

Sir Thomas Ingilby Reserve Conch Y Toro
The breezes from the Pacific Ocean, the protection of the Andes mountains, perfectly balanced soils and
crystalline rivers flowing down from the mountains make ideal climatic conditions for growing the most
noble varieties, and act as natural barriers that protect the vineyards.In Concha y Toro, we believe that the
great wines are a reflection of their origin. Their character and quality are born on the vine so we work with
dedication and respect to attain the maximum expression of the land.
There is a partnership between Conch Y Toro & Manchester United Football Club

Saint Clair
Saint Clair Family Estate is owned by Neal and Judy Ibbotson, viticulture pioneers in Marlborough since
1978. Grapes were originally supplied to local wine companies; however a desire to extend the quality
achieved in the vineyard through to the finished wine led to the establishment of Saint Clair Family Estate
in 1994.The Saint Clair name originates from the vineyard property, first settled by the Sinclair family.
Pioneer James Sinclair built one of the first homes in Blenheim and was closely associated with the early
development of the town. Over time the name of the property reverted to the original Saint Clair

Chateau Batailley
Grand Cru Classé AOC Pauillac
Château Batailley, a 5th Grand Cru Classé of the classification of 1855, is the family Castéja’s and BorieManoux’s flagship.
It is one of the oldest estates in the Médoc. The name is derived from the battle (“bataille“) - that took
place where the chateau and vineyard are today - during the 100-years war in the in 1452. In this battle, the
French re-conquered the neighbouring Chateau Latour from the English, a crucial point in the history of
Aquitaine. A few years later the first vines were planted on this historical and blood soaked grounds.
Chateau Batailley’s garden was designed by Barillet-Deschamps, Napoleon III’s garden architect. In 1855
Napoleon III created the classification for the Grands Crus Classés of the Medoc. And Batailley was knighted
Grand Cru.
Batailley is an intensive typical Pauillac, with Cassis and very good structure. Very stable quality across the
vintages due to the very old Wines.
Domaine Marc Morey
The Domaine is situated in the centre of the village, in an old coaching inn that has been home to the family
for over 100 years. In the 1950’s Marc Morey began vinifying wines from the family vineyards in the cellars
beneath; these were extended in 2003 when the cellar and equipment was updated. The wines have
always been critically acclaimed although in recent vintages they have taken on a new elegance.
Lockwood Vineyard
The partners of Lockwood Vineyard, Paul Toeppen, Phil Johnson and Butch Lindley, who have cumulative
vineyard management experience of over 90 years, first planted the large 1,850 acre San Lucas Vineyard in
1981 after concluding that the parcel was perfect for growing premium grapes. They chose a remote area
nestled at the base of the Santa Lucia mountain range, in Monterey County, and developed one of the
largest premium estate vineyards in the world.
