Bigger Bottles of Bordeaux

Tasted April 2022. From the same team as Calon-Segur, Capbern in 2021 shows a lot of classic St-Estephe character with a stoniness to the palate and tannins, and a core of ripe black, brambly fruit. It has more aromatic notes as well of blueberry and a lot of earthy, graphite character. Always great value.

Tasted April 2022. Marsau seem to keep getting better and better. 2021 is full of creamy red fruits and a lovely saline, mineral, cooling freshness on the palate. The tannins are silky and provide just enough grip. The wine is soft and full on the mid-palate and finishes long and fresh thanks to some refreshing acidity.

Tasted April 2022. Montaiguillon’s 2021 is another example of what incredible value this property represents. Situated in an elevated spot right on the border of St Emilion, the terroir is exceptional. This year the wine has concentrated blackberry, cassis and spiced plum fruit, but a distinct fresh red fruit character as well, giving amazing freshness. There are developing savoury, graphite, earthy notes beneath which will develop and integrate with age. This is a fantastic, balanced, classic Bordeaux for every occasion.
