Revel in the delightful, rich fruit and depth of this claret from a family estate just across the river from St Emilion. It’s from a 5-Star vintage, described by Decanter as “without doubt an exceptional year”. You’ll taste that in the lovely fruit.

The Wine
Bordeaux is a top spot for those seeking rich yet elegant reds, and most come at a great value price, too. Unlike in the old days, you don’t have to wait years for the wines to be approachable either. Bar the top strata, the majority are full of charm early on. Our Buyer is Bordeaux born and bred, so has the contacts to discover the best small parcel deals. This wine is from a family estate just across the Dordogne river from Saint Emilion. It was acquired by Monsieur Lestang in 1920 and today is run by his grandson Patrick Bourrust. Patrick has increased the vineyards sevenfold to 35 hectares, all on fine clay and limestone soils. Add the age of the vines (20 years) and careful winemaking and the result is this appealing Gold medal winner.
