Bordeaux Red Wine

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 Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot blend, harvested and selected by hand then aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, some of which are new.

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

A fine expression of Pomerol - deep, dark and profound with striking spiced black plum and damson fruit and an exotic, ethereal perfume.

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

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

An "utterly delicious Médoc" from one of the great Bordeaux vintages of recent times, and one in which a complexity of fruit-laden flavours now approaching full maturity.

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

Classically claret, and quite Saint-Julien in style. Nearly ten years of maturity gives this layers and layers of flavour.

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

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

"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.

"... a racy, voluptuous wine that will thrill readers who admire the late Denis Durantou's wines. Plush and succulent in the glass, with terrific presence..."

Quite a polished wine for this level. Deep ruby colour perfumed aromatic cassis fruit on the nose. Forward in style with bright, expressive sweetish black berry fruits.

"...has an opulent bouquet with blueberry and black cherry scents, floral with a fair slathering of new oak. The palate is medium-bodied, quite toasty in style..."

"91 pts. A firm, savory young Bordeaux with tobacco, redcurrant and crushed-stone character, as well as some bark. It's medium-bodied with solid tannins and a flavorful finish."

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.
