Bordeaux
Although top properties garner all the headlines and seemingly charge what they want, life can be a struggle for others. We seek out those who don't cut corners but still make wonderful wines that offer a good price/quality ratio.
White Bordeaux is often neglected and undervalued but in Pessac-Léognan there are oak-aged wines of a complexity and minerality rarely seen in France outside Burgundy.
The glorious sweet wines of Sauternes and Barsac are the result of tiny yields, a lot of work in the vineyard and a reliance on nature.
Our generic clarets are sourced from Sichel and Moueix, long established growers and négociants with great reputations. Finally there are the wonderful crus châteaux, where we try and follow properties that we buy en primeur and we know have a proven track record.
