A cult favourite with our customers, The Chocolate Block is made in limited quantities by the characterful Marc Kent at Boekenhoutskloof. It’s an opulent style with super-fine tannins and a luscious palate with chocolatey notes.

The Chocolate Block Methuselah

Ideal for parties or as an eye-catching gift

Dark red Pinot Noir with dark red fruits. Made for hearty TGIF dinners or the ooziest, stinkiest cheeses. Cosy sofa optional. 

Chambolle-Musigny Aux Beaux Bruns Domaine Rion

From the top of the Saint-Émilion clay-limestone plateau, this powerful red combines cherry aromas with marzipan and minty notes. Full bodied with a tangy sweetness, it matches beautifully with classic meat or rich fish dishes.

Château Canon 2018

A vibrant blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon

A high percentage of Merlot adds smoothness and structure – with fragrant floral aromas, layers of black-fruit flavour and spicy notes. Aged in 50% new oak for 18 months. Great ageing potential.

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse-de-Lalande 2018

Critically acclaimed classic Claret from a Second Growth Pauillac estate

Made from a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc and 10% Merlot. The nose is bursting with beautiful black fruit notes with hints of dark chocolate and liquorice. The perfect balance between ripeness and freshness.

Château Léoville Las Cases 2017 St. Julien

Outstanding purity and exceptional length

A blend of 55% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5.3% Cabernet Franc and 1.7% Petit Verdot. This is a remarkably well-focused and structured wine with round and polished tannins and a powerful finish.

Le Clarence de Haut-Brion 2017 Pessac-Léognan

Elegant and energetic with wonderful freshness

Powerful, well-structured and balanced with a lovely freshness, this critically acclaimed Caberet-led wine has rich, round layers of fruit and excellent ageing potential.

Grand Vin de Léoville du Marquis de Las Cases 2018

Complex terroirs with diverse soils give this superb wine its unique personality.

From old vines on a historic Bordeaux left bank estate, this exceptional Cabernet-based blend can be left to age for more than 40 years in the cellar. Medium to full bodied, it has real length on the palate.

Château Pichon-Longueville au Baron de Pichon-Longueville 2018

Velvety black-fruit flavours with spicy hints and firm tannins.

From the prestigious terroir of Saint-Julien on the left bank of Bordeaux, this blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot has black-fruit aromas with a full-bodied palate of succulent fruits and spices.

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 2018

Aged in 100% new French oak barrels for 18 months

With a high proportion of Merlot in the blend, this is an accessible and velvety wine with plenty of dark fruit character. It comes from a 55-hectare estate in the north of the Médoc region.

Château Calon Ségur 2018

Aged for 17 months in 30% new oak barrels

From a single-block vineyard in Saint-Sauveur, west of Pauillac, where the terroir provides wine with exceptional character. Silky tannins, a delicate structure and a lengthy finish.

Château Liversan Cru Bourgeois Haut-Medoc 2015

Dark berry aromas with a hint of prune and cedar.

California dreamin’ is made of this – a ruby-hued, fruit-and-vanilla-scented wine, where jammy berry and warming spice flavours develop and linger. Goes with American BBQ classics, such as smoky ribs, pulled pork and brisket.

The Federalist Zinfandel

Full-bodied and fragrant with dark-fruit flavours, rounded tannins and well-integrated oak. Made using a blend of grapes grown on four distinct terroirs on a family-run Stellenbosch estate.

Meerlust Rubicon

Aromas of violet, black plum, blackberry and cassis

Even the aroma is like a hug: fragrant bergamot, warming spices and rich cocoa. Drink it, and taste those very scents as they dance in your mouth. Goes with Portuguese dishes – like francesinha, a smoked meat sandwich – or grilled meats.

Bella Elegance Touriga Nacional

A blend of local grape varieties from one of the most iconic estates in the Douro region of Portugal. Rich and silky with dark fruit flavours and a hint of chocolate and spice. Only at Waitrose Cellar.

Quinta do Vesúvio Pombal do Vesúvio

Cooling ocean breezes ripple across the estate’s vineyards, making the grapes flourish. You’ll taste bold red and black fruit, plus hints of toasty oak – the wine will have spent more than a year in French oak barrels.
