Description
Tony Laithwaite is proud to have finally realised a long-held ambition by renting a beautiful old 'Chai' on the quayside at Castillon in Bordeaux. The space allows him (and his talented team of winemakers) to cherry-pick individual vats of the finest liquids ... then age them to add complexity .. and still be able to offer them to you at remarkably low prices!

For this Pomerol alone it was worth opening the Chai. Without it, Tony's team wouldn't have been able to race this fantastic right bank star - from the superb 2004 vintage - into fine new oak and tuck it away especially for you. But there's not much to go round - just a few barrels - so snap it up quickly!

Deep purple in colour with cassis, plum and cherry fruit flavours and a firm, smoky oak structure. Very long and smooth with great potential to age. Truly a class act and a taste of what fine wine is all about - at an amazing price.
