What has been quite a busy day for releases in Bordeaux, has been dominated by the right bank. This includes the first growths Ausone<\/a>\u00a0& Cheval Blanc<\/a> who lead the charge from St Emilion and join\u00a0one of our perennial favourites\u00a0from the left bank – CH\u00c2TEAU L\u00c9OVILLE BARTON<\/a>.<\/p>\n

CH\u00c2TEAU AUSONE<\/a>\u00a0(\u00a33250 per dozen) has made a tiny amount of wine this year – in both the top wine<\/a> and the Chapelle d’Ausone<\/a>\u00a0(\u00a3990 per dozen). Both are good wines in the vintage and\u00a0they have shown some restraint on the price of this limited stock too. These prices seem very fair and so this is perhaps well worth considering if you are a follower of this esteemed estate.<\/p>\n

We were impressed by the wines at Cheval Blanc<\/a>\u00a0but at \u00a31625 for 6 this is nowhere near the cheapest vintage on the market, so one does wonder who might feel the need to buy this immediately.<\/p>\n

L\u00e9oville Barton<\/a>\u00a0at \u00a3470 is not the cheapest vintage in the market, but in terms of 2013 this is nicely done, a very classically lined claret which will be attractive drinking in the medium term.<\/p>\n

Pomerol has made some very pleasing wines in 2013 and Chateau Clinet<\/a>\u00a0at \u00a3420 per dozen is well worth consideration. We tasted this well, it is relatively well priced for the vintage.<\/p>\n

Other releases today are:<\/p>\n
