2011 Chateau Grandis, Cru Bourgeois Haut Medoc

Bordeaux Blend

Château Grandis became a family run estate in 1857 and the vineyards are made up of a modest 10 hectares which enables the family to maintain the strictest high standards both in the vineyard and the cellar. In 2005 Brice Vergez took over the running of the estate and has continued to practice the techniques of hand harvesting, hand pruning and racking from barrel to barrel.  He also prefers ploughing between the rows of vines rather than the systematic use of herbicides, promoting soil health wherever possible.

2020 Chateau Tournefeuille, AC Lalande de Pomerol

Bordeaux Blend

Chateau Tournefeuille is a perfectly sited 17 hectare Lalande de Pomerol vineyard a stones throw from some of Pomerols most famous addresses, notably Petrus and Gazin. The clay/gravel soils here produce wines with great intensity and balance.  The agriculture is a 50/50 mix of vineyards under biodynamic conversion with the balance being farmed sustainably with no chemical weed control or insecticide.  Rich with ripe tannins this fabulous wine is approachable in its youth but will age gracefully.

2020 Chateau Saransot-Dupre, Listrac Medoc, Double Magnum

Bordeaux Blend

Chateau Saransot-Dupre is an excellently sited 17 hectares property that lies between Fourcas Dupré and Fourcas Hosten in Listrac.  Due to Listrac’s cooler temperatures, Merlot and Cabernet Franc are favoured over Cabernet Sauvignon to form the majority of the blend, helping them achieve optimum ripeness.  Much like Chateau Fourcas Hosten, the wines have improved year on year since 2010 and the property were put on the radar thanks to a certain Robert Parker hailing the 2010 vintage as 'classed growth quality'.  High praise indeed!
