2010 Chateau Angludet, AC Margaux

Bordeaux Blend

Chateau Angludet is one of the oldest properties in the Medoc and is owned by the Sichel family, 6th generation Bordeaux Negociants and part owners of Chateau Palmer.  The wines from Angludet come from vineyards which are all classified as Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel and are consistently excellent.  The superb 2010 comes hot on the heels of the terrific 2009 and although expressive and open now, it will continue to develop very nicely.

2011 Chateau Bellegrave, AC Pomerol

Bordeaux Blend

The 2011 vintage had a hard act to follow coming after two exceptional years in Bordeaux and whilst the wines aren't as showy as the '09's and '10's they are charming and drinking beautifully with a decade in bottle.

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.

£19.95

2012 Sauternes, Chateau Lamourette

Semillon/Sauvignon

The Sauternes from Chateau Lamourette are beautifully balanced with dried fruits, honeycomb and quince alongside perfectly poised acidity which freshens the wine.  Already showing nicely with a bit of time in bottle, this will continue to evolve for years to come.

£35.00

2013 La Reserve d’Angludet, AC Margaux

Bordeaux Blend

This second wine of Chateau Angludet is a perfectly mature claret that shows the elegance and finesse of it's more grown up sibling at a fraction of the price.  Silky, red and dark fruits abound with notes of cedar and liquorice sitting alongside well-integrated spice and oak.  Medium-bodied and approachable now, there is still enough structure to suggest further ageing would be possible. 

£29.95

2014 Chateau Chasse-Spleen, AC Moulis en Medoc

Bordeaux Blend

The '14 Chasse-Spleen is a wonderfully refined wine which is just starting to hit its stride, although will continue to evolve and drink superbly into the early 2030's.  The nose shows lots of dark fruits along with a fresher blueberry character mixed with black pepper and cedar spice.  The palate shows layers of blackberry fruit and terrific oak integration.  The finish is long and fresh with plenty of depth. 

£55.00

2014 Chateau Feytit-Clinet, AC Pomerol, Magnum

Merlot

"The 2014 Feytit Clinet has a crisp bouquet with violet-tinged black fruit, understated and very precise (a leitmotif of Jeremy Chasseuil's wine). The palate is clean and precise, very well defined with a mineral-infused finish that lingers long in the mouth. There is nothing ostentatious about this wine, rather it is all about the composure, refinement and precision. It can be summed up in two words: Bon vin!" Drink Date 2019 - 2035

£150.00

2015 Pauillac de Chateau Latour, AC Pauillac

Bordeaux Blend

"A blend of 54.2% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41.7% Merlot, and 4.1% Petit Verdot, the 2015 Le Pauillac de Chateau Latour is deep garnet in color. It waltzes out of the glass with ready-for-fun scents of black cherry preserves, warm cassis, and Christmas cake, plus suggestions of spice box, sandalwood, and potpourri. The medium-bodied palate is finely knit with great freshness and plush tannins, delivering a lingering spray of exotic spices on the finish."

2016 Chateau Biac, AC Cadillac Cotes de Bordeaux

Bordeaux Blend

£45.00

2016 Chateau Fontestau, Cru Bourgeois Medoc

Bordeaux Blend

This 2016 vintage provided Fontestau with a perfectly healthy crop and there wasn't any need to add sulphur treatments in the vineyard or the winery.  It boasts a very rich garnet colour with an expressive nose showing jammy aromas of red fruit such as cherry and strawberry. The palate is ample and full-bodied with a tense, fresh structure. The tannins are rich and tasty, conferring flavour and length to the wine. This is a remarkably balanced vintage with a real force of character.

£25.99

2016 Chateau Les Ormes de Pez, AC St. Estephe

Bordeaux Blend

"The 2016 Les Ormes de Pez is a blend of 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 52% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot picked from 28 September until 12 October. It has an impressive bouquet: blackcurrants, boysenberry and crème de cassis, all with very well integrated new oak. There is a lot of panache here, a word perhaps I have not associated with this Saint Estèphe in recent years. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a lovely grainy texture, quite pure with lovely blackberry, melted tar and slightly savory, almost meaty notes. Harmonious right to the end, this is an excellent Les Ormes de Pez that seems to revel in the 2016 vintage. This might be one of the best wines from the estate".

£40.00

2016 Chateau Lynch-Moussas, 5eme Cru Classe Pauillac

2016 Chateau Poujeaux, Moulis en Medoc

Bordeaux Blend

Bordeaux Blend

2018 Pauillac AC, Maison Sichel

Bordeaux Blend

The AC Pauillac from the historic Maison Sichel is a declassified claret from one of the top estates in this prestigious appellation, and is made with vines which haven't quite hit the maturity required for the chateau label or do not quite fit the flavour profile.  Nevertheless, it is a delicious example of top notch Pauillac, showing well-intergrated tannins and silky red and dark fruits along with hints of liquorice and classic notes of cigar box. Terrific value and surprisingly approachable.

£26.95

2019 Bordeaux Blanc Sec, Chateau Saransot-Dupre

Semillon/Sauvignon

Chateau Saransot-Dupre is a favourably 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!

£18.95
