Description

Bordeaux is one of the world's largest and most famous winemaking regions, producing wines that range from 'everyday drinking' to some of the most luxurious, exotic, and expensive on the planet!

This collection is a classic example of how good the 'everyday drinking' wines from a great Bordeaux vintage can be. Velvety, plummy merlot rich claret that won't break the bank. Critic James Suckling described these recent Bordeaux's vintage as "exceptional", and with all its luscious, velvety fruit, this award winners are outstanding value.

Collection includes:

2 x  Château de Cathalogne Bordeaux 2021 (France)

Awarded GOLD MEDAL: Elle à table
Awarded GOLD MEDAL: Gilbert & Gaillard

A classic blend of 50% Merlot & 50% Cabernet Sauvignon. The high proportion of Merlot makes this 'everyday' Bordeaux really sing. It has lovely aromas reminiscent of sun-ripened blackberries, dark plums and black currants. Medium-bodied with ripe tannins and a fruity style where you will find dark fruits such as blackberries, dark plums, black currants and a touch of licorice.

Alc: 13.5% - Seal: Cork

2 x Château Fonfroide Bordeaux 2021 (France)

Awarded GOLD MEDAL: Gilbert & Gaillard

"From vines situated in the heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers region, this is just what we want from everyday Bordeaux. Tons of blackcurrant fruit with some tannins to give it structure and a lovely fresh finish. Everyday Claret at its best".

Perched on a cliff overlooking Bordeaux’s meandering Durezes River stands Chateau Fonfroide. A cold spring on the property gives the chateau its name and helps irrigate the 185-acre vineyard. History is rich here, firmly rooted in the limestone and clay soil, tilled and cared for by the Dutheillet de Lamothe family for over 300 years! Merlot, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon and malbec join together in a compelling bottle of everyday Bordeaux.

Alc: 13% - Seal: Cork

2 x Calvet Prestige Bordeaux Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 (France)

Awarded 90/100 POINTS & 4.5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"Attractively styled Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon blend, the fragrant bouquet shows blackcurrant, smoky bacon, thyme and tapenade aromas, leading to a flavoursome palate that's supple and succulent. It's firmly structured by chalky tannins, finishing sturdy and lingering. A lovely modern rendition offering terrific value. At its best: now to 2030" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Lovely brilliant ruby colour with hints of red brick. Fruity bouquet with vanilla notes. Fleshy, well-balanced palate, with a supple and delicate flavour. 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon.
