Bordeaux
Over the last few years, Bordeaux has become infamous for the
stratospheric prices achieved by a handful of wines, particularly
appreciated by Mr Parker and highly prized on new, foreign export
markets. Through our very close connections with two chateaux
owning Bordeaux families - who are also Bordeaux brokers - we are
able to offer such wines to our customers on the same en
primeur terms as la Place.
However, that is not the "real" Bordeaux and those are not the
wines that we take home on a regular basis and which offer greater
value, variety, balance, freshness, succulence and purity than
almost any other wines we could mention.
During recent years, superbly committed proprietors and their
talented, highly qualified, dynamic teams have revolutionised
viticulture throughout the region. The resulting raw materials they
have to work with have totally transformed the wines of Bordeaux.
Twenty years ago, the general standard in Bordeaux was only good in
very good, problem-free vintages. In the last decade, several
vintages have presented a variety of climatic challenges. However,
because of the diligence of the best producers, superb, delicious
wines are now made on a very consistent basis.
