A jewel located on top of the highest hill in Margaux, Château Chantelune is a unique property.

Country: France, Bordeaux, PomerolGrapes: Merlot, Cabernet FrancABV: 13.5%Style: Savoury Classic Red91 Points - James Suckling. It's rare to find an affordable Pomerol, but it's almost unheard of to find a mature affordable Pomerol, but that's what we have with the Chateau Guillot Clauzel 2012. 2012 was a tough year for winemakers, and the harvest was small, but the best picked late and made seriously good wines that were built to last. The Guillot Clauzel 2012 has shed its youthful tannins and is now soft, open, and lovely, offering a combination of plummy fruit, mellow, smokey autumnal berri -
Country: France, Bordeaux, MargauxGrapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, MerlotABV: 13.5%Style: Savoury Classic Red95 Points - Jeff Leve. When the likes of Jeff Leve describe a wine as a 'show stopper' and awards it 95 points, it's worth noticing. 2009 was a legendary Bordeaux vintage and the Cantenac Brown 2009 is one of the best you'll find. Now at its drinking peak, Margaux's combination of feminine elegance and complexity is on show giving a wine of immense complexity and charm. Drink now and over the coming 10+ years.

The Chateau Haut-Bages Liberal Pauillac 2016 is a wine that every Bordeaux lover should have in their cellar. Produced in a stellar vintage that produced classically-styled wines, the balance between red and black fruits, savoury minerals and tobacco, and fresh, cleansing acidity is remarkable. Now in its drinking window, give this a couple of hours open/decant and you'll be in for a treat. Serve with fine roasted meats, full-flavoured cheeses, or game birds. Vivino Rating -
Country: France, Bordeaux, Saint JulienGrapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet FrancABV: 14%Style: Savoury Classic Red97 Points - Falstaff. Gruaud Larose is Bordeaux wine royalty. The label bears the inscription, 'The wine of kings, the king of wines' and in spectacular vintages such as 2018 it's hard to argue with this. The Wine Advocate awarded it 95-97, one of the highest scores Gruaud Larose has ever managed, and with some bottle aging it's clearly showing that the final score will be at the upper end of this. Open and let it breathe for a few hours and expect a massive, exotic, powerful mouthful of Bordeau -
Country: France, Bordeaux, PomerolGrapes: Merlot, Cabernet FrancABV: 14.5%Style: Savoury Classic Red94 Points - Jeff Leve. Clos L'Eglise 2017 has gone from relative obscurity to being one of the most sought-after wines from the micro Bordeaux commune of Pomerol. Despite getting a 94-point score from Jeff Leve, it remains well-priced, though it seems unlikely that that will continue given the excellence of the wine and the minuscule production. Now entering its drinking window, you can look forward to the sort of decadent wine experience that no other region of Bordeaux is capable of delivering -

Country: France, Bordeaux, PomerolGrapes: Merlot, Cabernet FrancABV: 12.5%Style: Savoury Classic Red90 Points - Jeff Leve. Chateau La Croix St. Georges is one of Pomerol's lesser-known stars, but a star it is. 2017 produced wines that were soft and luscious, something that suited this 95% Merlot wine well. Plump and juicy, the bouquet is that classic Pomerol mix of cherries, plums, vanilla and Asian spices, while the palate is gloriously soft and enveloping, nicely supported by the rounded tannins and clean, strawberry acidity.

La Chapelle de La Mission Haut-Brion 2014 is the second wine of the illustrious La Mission Haut-Brion. Undoubtedly one of Bordeaux's greatest estates, the uber-rigorous selection methods carried out here mean that a lot of grapes that would be considered worthy of the Grand Vin in many other properties end up in the La Chapelle de La Mission. 2014 was a fine but overlooked vintage, and this mature La Chapelle de La Mission is drinking beautifully.

Chateau Lagrange Les Fiefs de Lagrange is the second wine of Chateau Lagrange. Once again, this wine shows the value of second wines in great Bordeaux vintages. 2019 has been compared to the likes of 2000, 1990, and even 1982, and its combination of concentration, elegance and sheer drinkability is all on display here.
