Bordeaux Red Wine

Made in only the best vintages and blended for us by Jonathan Maltus, the first Englishman to be awarded 100 points by Robert Parker. Rich, ripe merlot, beautifully integrated oak.

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.

For all of you who enjoy a smart buy, and a good house red for years to come, this is an exceptional vintage.

Ripe, red-berried fruit on a dense silky palate. Savoury notes reminiscent of cigar box add a touch of refinement. Drinking well now and will continue to evolve.

Classically claret, and quite Saint-Julien in style.

Château Ramafort is in cracking form. The Cru Bourgeois estate, once belonged to Château Lafite. A 50/50 blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot.

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

A showy, voluptuous style of claret - very clearly from a warm, expressive vintage, but still with striking freshness and fine balance.

Wonderful structure and balance, where merlot delivers rich, vibrant, plummy fruit, and cabernet franc adds structure, a touch of perfume and bouquet garni both aromatically and on the palate.

"...from a stellar château whose grand vin sells for just shy of £400 a bottle."

Expressive, vibrant nose with perfumed, floral notes enhancing blackberry, mulberry and plum aromas. Mint, mocha and exotic spice layers unfurl, leading to a rich, spicy, robustly structured palate.

"...one that FVD's Esme Johnstone, à la sungazer, believes is richer and more profound than the 2020 incarnation and already very approachable."

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

Another very pretty, expressive 2021 with pronounced blackberry and plum aromas and an underlying green-leaf freshness.

As rich, generous and rewarding as one would expect from Hubert de Bouard of Ch. Angélus fame and former Cheval Blanc legend Dominique. A cuvée of serious pedigree.

"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Les Tourelles de Longueville gives aromas of crushed blackberries, warm plums and mulberries with accents of bay leaves, garrigue and cinnamon..."

Lovely ruby red sheen, real purity and freshness. Aromas of red berry fruit, plum and raspberry, notes of coffee and tobacco, a touch of truffle perhaps and herbaceous element on ...

"Medium-bodied with nice vibrancy and freshness, it offers approachable tannins with a lift to the finish."

A highly rated Cru Bourgeois from the Northern Médoc and one whose 2015 is not just an exceptional vintage, but one now fully mature.

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.

A soft, rich wine with a touch of minerality. The blend is 65% merlot, 33% cabernet sauvignon with a touch of petite verdot.
