"There are so many high quality wines, it is still easy to find terrific and affordable stuff" Robert Parker
Before we offer our thoughts on what the 2006 Bordeaux vintage has to offer Claret fans, did you know that Laithwaites sells more fine wine than anyone else in the UK (and, yes, that does include all the big, 'traditional' merchants)?
How come? Well, we've spent over 40 years building up a network of contacts - for thirty of those years we were known as Bordeaux Direct! - and the strong friendships we've formed in Bordeaux help secure a healthy allocation of top names like Lafite, Latour, Mouton et al. And all that time spent talking to growers and suppliers means we're also able to offer highly rated exclusives you won't find anywhere else in the UK and that won't cost you a second mortgage!
So thanks to decades of experience, we've developed a great range of seriously fine wines to suit all budgets and tastes ... the pick of the 2006 vintage.
This year has produced some seriously great wines at all quality levels, and our Fine Wine Buying Team has worked hard (and tasted plenty!) to bring you the best deals and greatest drinking experience! Even better, prices are down and our Fine Wine Team is fielding plenty of enquiries from claret lovers anxious to secure their favourites ... please do email us to sign up for the very latest updates.
