Bordeaux Wine - Buy Wine from the Bordeaux Region of France
Buying 'classed growth' Bordeaux wine is a relatively straightforward affair as the relative merits of different estates and vintages are well documented and, provided you do some research, you tend to get what you pay for. Recently, however, a run of superior vintages and booming demand in the Far East have put pressure on pricing and there are very few bargains to be found. Sourcing good value 'Petit Château' Claret is a much more complicated task as the quality varies enormously and there is very little third party testimonial available for cross-referencing.
We have been shipping Philippe Germain’s Château Peychaud for several years now and it has already established a loyal following. At Château d’Abzac, 6 kilometres north-east of Pomerol, the Baron and Baroness d’Anglade also make keenly-priced, forward-drinking red Bordeaux. Over on the Left Bank of the Gironde in the Médoc, Château Valrose produces an impressive St Estèphe from a traditional blend of 50% Merlot and 25% each of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Staying in the Médoc, at the aspirational end of the spectrum, we have secured another small parcel of the celebrated Leoville
Poyferré 2004.
