| | Quite robust with earthy fruit a hint of violets and leather. Great wine drinking now
|
| | A fruit driven, full bodied early drinking St Emilion with broad layers of indulgent, rich cherries, mocha and a hint of spice on the finish. |
|
| Intense, sweet, succulent and ripe blackcurrant fruit with a lovely freshness both on the nose and palate.Truly excellent and drinking perfectly now, but will keep- if you can!
|
| | Generous fruit aroma on the nose, with a good fleshy structure, soft on the palate. Ready to drink now but will keep for a few years. |
| | Concentrated and intense with ripe aromas of red and black fruit and fine oak. Fleshy, powerful and well-balanced and quite persistent across the palate.
|
|
| Still slightly closed on the nose but great great harmony on the palate with a great long finish
|
| | Ablend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc. Parker rated 95-
Jancis Robinson's revue
Dark crimson. Savory nose and beautifully balanced with nothing out of line. Restrained and not quite unfurled but utterly convincing. Everything is tucked in there. Classic 2005 – very solid and chewy – but with great fruit buried there too. Jancis Robinson

| | Deep colour, with aromas of coffee, smoke and black cherries. Ripe black cherry and plums on the palate with ripe tannic grip. Drinking now |
|
| The blend of the 2009 vintage contains 27% Merlot 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc
Dense ruby/purple plenty of cassis fruit with firm and ripe tannin, typical of a cabernet dominated wine.
|
| | | Our best selling claret. Approachable blackcurrant fruit, a fine balance of tannin. Acidity and fruit in a great vintage.
The Chateau is located partly in the commune of CISSAC adjacent to Pauillac and partly on the plateau of VERTHEUIL contiguous with Saint-Estèphe.
The plantings are 58% cabernet sauvignon, 35% merlot, 5% petit verdot and 2% cabernet franc and these make up the wines to a greater or lesser extent according to the harvest.

A beautiful wine, once again, from this property that has been on a superb qualitative roll for several decades. Dense ruby/purple with notes of graphite, background oak, youthful crème de cassis and blackberry fruit as well as a floral underpinning, it is medium to full-bodied, textured, rich and impressive. Still in a somewhat adolescent stage, it should hit full maturity in another 2-3 years and last at least two decades. Drink 2017-2037.

| | Bordeaux that represents reasonably good value in this super-expensive vintage. Deep ruby to the rim, it offers up scents of damp earth, black currants, cherries, liquorice and herbs. |
| | Black fruits and toast aromas. Big and tannic, medium purple in colour with an expressive, youthful nose of liquorice, roasted coffee, ripe plums and slight chocolate . A wine with elegant and smooth drive. Well-layered and complex with flavours being very well integrated. |
|
| Ripe red fruit aroma on the nose with a good fleshy structure on the palate. Very attractive and currently drinking. |
| | This small estate has been handed down from mother to daughter for 3 generations and is currently tended by Corinne Baudouin who is involved from prunning the vine to the bottling !
Dark purple with aroma of black fruits with touches of dark chocolate, violets and plum - very margaux. Rounded on the palate with fine tannins and satisfying finish!
A blend of 85% Merlot 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Malbec
|
| | The second wine of the famous Ch Leoville Lascasse.
On the nose, blackberry, leather with a touch of cloves . The palate is medium-bodied with good fruit extraction, clean with good acidity cutting through bright blackcurrant and cassis fruits with a nice floral, elegant finish with a touch of chestnut. Very fine |
