En Primeur - Bordeaux 2021

En-Primeur is a method of purchasing wines early while the wine (a vintage) is still in the barrel. This offers the customer the opportunity to invest before the wine is bottled.

Payment is made at an early stage, a year or 18 months prior to the official release of a vintage. One of the potential advantages of buying wines "En-Primeur" is that the wines may be considerably cheaper during the en primeur period than they will be once bottled and released.

Wines are stored with the Château until released.

Country: France, Pessac Léognan
Appellation: Pessac-Léognan / Classification: Grand Cru Classé De Graves / Background: Only a great terroir can produce a great wine, and Domaine de Chevalier is located in a clearing in the middle of a forest that protects the vines from extremes of temperature. In fact, Chevalier is a sort of secret garden, far from the limelight. This is something of a paradox for such an excellent wine, among the greatest in Bordeaux. 

Country: France, Margaux
Appellation: Margaux / Background: Although its location, terroir and its reputation largely deserved to be included in the 1855 classification, the Toulouse-Lautrec family, owners of Château Siran, faithful to their family tradition declined the invitation to be included in this “Bonapartist classification”.

Country: France, Saint Julien
Appellation: Saint-Julien / Classification: 4e Grand Cru Classé / Background: Founded in the 17th Century, this 4th Grand Cru Classé was broken up and scattered as a result of several inheritances.

Country: France, Côtes De Bourg
Appellation: Côtes de Bourg / Background: The outstanding wine of its appellation, Roc de Cambes is made by the meticulous, eccentric and inspired François Mitjavile, who is perhaps more famous for Tertre Roteboeuf in Saint-Emilion. The 12-hectare vineyard, which contains some very old vines (some up to 50 years old), lies on rock shelves with deep clay-limestone soils overlooking the Gironde. The terroir isn't dissimilar to Tertre Roteboeuf, but interestingly the grape varieties are more akin t

Country: France, Bordeaux Aoc
Appellation: Bordeaux /  Background: The Château Mont Pérat estate covers over a hundred hectares high up on the hillsides of Capian, in the heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers, with a lovely terroir of gravelly-clay on a limestone base. Full of fruit, intense, and supple with very round tannins, it is a well-matured wine that ages well. Indeed, we recommend giving it a little time in the cellar to reach its full potential. Fully ripened grapes are transcended by the natural minerality of the limestone

Country: France, Saint Emilion
Appellation: Saint-Émilion / Classification: 1er Grand Cru Classé 'B' / Background: Traditionally Ch. Larcis Ducasse, a St Emilion Grand Cru Classé, was regarded as a property with exceptional terrior but a constant underperformer.
