The Bordeaux/Claret Collection
A coming together of six of our favourite Bordeaux wines. Each and every bottle in this case deserves its place here. It is a great mix of left and Right bank Bordeaux with wines from the following appelations included.
Fronsac, Saint Emilion (St Grorges) Lalande Pomerol, Pauillac and Castillion Cotes de Bordeaux.
1 x 75cl Bottle
This is an unoaked wine, totally different to any other wine in this selection, Pure pure fruit and crystal clear focus. A word to the wise, this wine is so under priced. We hope you love this because we absolutely do.
Chateau Tour Canon Fronsac
Bordeaux, France
1 x 75cl bottle
Just west of Pomerol, the scattered vineyards of Fronsac are found on low lying hills overlooking the Dordogne river. This region is sometimes called “Bordeaux’s little Tuscany”. The wines are firm and full bodied while showing an attractive fruitiness.
This minute appellation, Canon-Fronsac, produces wines that can be a trifle stronger than Fronsac. Merlot is the staple grape variety in those two appellations with some added Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Pressac (aka Malbec) to spice up the final blend.
Chateau Bellegrave Pauillac
Bordeaux Superieur
1 x 75cl bottle
The Bellegrave has an intriguing, rather saline/brine scented bouquet with expressive Cabernet Franc. It takes a little time to find its delineation and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, grippy tannins. The Cabernet Franc component forms its conspicuous back bone - a Pomerol that is classic and “cool” in style. Nicely focused and delineated on the finish with well-integrated oak, don’t be surprised to find this blooming in several years. (NM)

Clos des Galevesses Lalande de Pomerol
Bordeaux, France
1 x 75cl bottle
Located in the heart of the Lalande de Pomerol appellation, the vines of Clos des
Galevesses are set upon a gravelly outcrop watched over by the iconic Eglise Saint Jean-Baptiste, founded in the twelfth century by the Knights Hospitaller. The wine they produce is at once fruity and elegant, with a superb tannic structure. The owners' savvy blend of historic traditions and modern techniques make this an estate with a bright future. With vinification in small temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. After the fermentations, the wine is then racked 15 to 18 months into French oak barrels. A bold, radiant red robe and an intense first nose packed with intense red berry aromas. Swirling in the glass reveals subtle spicy accents. Smooth, suave opening on the palate, with great roundness and balance.
Charles Beylot Pauillac
Pauillac, France
1 x 75cl bottle
Charles Beylot, owner of prestigious Chateaux in the Saint-Emilion region during the 19th century, was one of the key players in the development and success of Horeau-Beylot, wine merchant founded in 1740 and whose ninth generation is now leading its destiny. Sorting of the grapes at the mechanical table, traditional vinification in vats. Beautiful deep and brilliant purple colour. On the nose, it's a surprising explosion of fruits such as raspberry and blackcurrant as well.
Chateau La Croix St Georges Saint Emilion
Bordeaux, France
1 x 75cl bottle
The powerful, rich and refined nose is distinguished by notes of ripe black fruit (blackcurrant) and woody notes.
The fruity and intense palate reveals notes of blackcurrant and Morello cherry. Woody touches enhance the ripe fruit and give this wine a beautiful length.
