Médoc & Haut Médoc

Just touched down we're delighted with this very smart Medoc, a steal for the price. 2015 was such a generous vintage it is admirable when restraint is clear. With this brilliant wine the balance...(more info)

Chateau Lalande Villeneuve is perched at the tip of the Medoc where sea breezes keep the grapes healthy and the mineral soils make the wines powerful. Here the Saint Estephe blend of soils (Clay,...(more info)

Intense black fruit with a touch of bitterness on the palate, and simple spices that prevent this being too one-dimensional

Quite intense and juicy with some red pimento powder aroma. Lots of breadth and fun even if far from the most concentrated on the palate. Racy.
