Gilbert and Gaillard
89 Points. ‘Bright, pale gold colour. After swirling, the nose unfurls brioche, toasted notes and a touch of stone fruits. Seductive silky texture on the palate, delicate, creamy bubbles where suppleness and freshness combine harmoniously.’

James Suckling
92 Points. ‘A complex array of red berry fruits, citrus and peach aromas with a flinty, almost smoky edge here too. The palate's big on flavour, quiet fleshy and full of impact. Fresh peach and nectarine flavours lead, ahead of citrus and more savoury chalky and nutty flavours to close. Drink now.’

FAQs
Dark chocolate pairs best with wines that have the structural intensity to match its bitter cocoa and tannin character without being overwhelmed. Fortified wines are the strongest match: aged Tawny Port with its dried fig, rancio, and roasted nut character is the classic pairing. Banyuls from the Roussillon, a naturally sweet Grenache based wine, is the benchmark French equivalent. A full bodied, fruit forward red such as Zinfandel or Amarone can also work, where the ripe dark fruit and spice complement the chocolate.
Many wines use animal derived fining agents during production to clarify and stabilise the liquid before bottling. Common fining agents include isinglass (derived from fish swim bladders), gelatine (bovine or porcine), casein (milk protein), and egg whites (albumin). These are added to bind suspended particles and removed before bottling, but trace quantities may remain. Vegan wines use alternatives including bentonite clay, activated carbon, or pea protein. Checking the Barnivore database or looking for a vegan certification on the label is the most reliable approach.
