Award: Independent Wines Direct Tasting - Angela Mount 2015 - Angela Mount's Top Wines For Christmas 2015
Tasting notes: This is part of the new ‘own brand’ range that Majestic launched in September, entitled ‘Definition’ – a small selection of classic wines from all corners of the world, which aim to define the style of the grape or the region. This one is a clever buy. A claret with some decent age, from a ‘satellite’ region, close to the revered area of Saint Emilion, Montagne Saint-Emilion, where the wines are very similar, and generally far better value. This soft, rich, velvety red is made from 80% plummy, juicy Merlot, with a 20% dollop of fragrant, raspberry-stashed Cabernet Franc. This is tremendous value for a quality claret, with a decent bit of maturity. Spot on with rib of beef, slow-roast lamb, or a slab of quality cheddar.
Award: Independent Wines Direct Tasting - Angela Mount 2016 - Angela Mount Reviews The Majestic Definition Range 2016
Tasting notes: Well done Majestic for wheedling out this brilliant red, which offers outstanding value. Claret lovers, this one’s for you, when you want a classic style, to enjoy on an everyday basis, or with your Sunday roast. Montagne Saint- Emilion is one of the satellite villages close to the world famous Saint-Emilion, and delivers similar style wines, but at far better value. Even better, Majestic have secured a parcel of the 2010 vintage, one of the best vintages of the decade, which has maturity, ripeness, and style. Full of classic characteristics of blackcurrant, cedarwood, plums, and dark chocolate, it’s a great buy, and far better value than many overpriced clarets.
