Bordeaux Red Wine

"This is a class act and can only get classier as it matures."

A classic Pauillac expressed entirely through estate vineyard fruit and by the same winemaking team as châteaus grand vin label itself.

A silky merlot blend from the Côtes de Castillon to deliciously demonstrate just how good - and ageworthy - the wines of Bordeaux's more affordable regions have become.

"The tannins eased off as I worked my way down the bottle where I found nothing but pleasure."

"It has weight and character of course, but it's surprisingly light on its feet for a Saint-Estèphe..."

From 3rd-growth Château Giscours (Margaux) and sumptuous, abundant, well-balanced proof that you need not always pay £20+ for a bottle of Left Bank pedigree and finesse.

"Deep dark red, with robust red and black fruit on the nose and touches of cedarwood and spice..."

Chàteau Hyot is a 'house' claret with a style, character and sheer drinkability we very rarely find at this level. Hails from the excellent 2020 vintage.

This is rich and spicy with lovely rippling tannins and great depth to the autumnal berry fruit .

From just 15km outside of St-Emilion and the now-historic 2009 vintage when a perfect combination of warm, sunny days and cool nights made for Ch. Méaume's ripe, luxurious and opulent ...

Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's deep and layered, with a rich mid-palate that's underpinned by succulent acids and powdery tannins.

Morello cherries, raspberry pie, fruitcake and prunes, plus hints of potpourri and unsmoked cigars.

Aromas of crème de cassis and wild berries mingled with notions of licorice, loamy soil, cigar wrapper and smoke.

Magical claret from one of the two greatest vintages since 1945 and 1961 and now quite rare to find on market.

Palate is absolutely laden with rich, juicy black fruits, supported by velvety tannins and plenty freshness, finishing long and perfumed.

One of the all-time great vintages. Elegantly matured,  expressive, with layers of blackcurrant, notes of leather, tobacco and earthy truffle, offering good depth and complexity. The once-firm tannins have softened into ...

Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's youthfully tightly wound, with terrific concentration, tangy acids, powdery tannins and a long, saline finish.
