This morning – where France is not on holiday \u2013 the 2014 releases continue. The big one is Ch\u00e2teau Talbot 2014 (\u00a3290)<\/strong><\/a>. With vintages like 2008 and even 2007 trading above \u00a3360 a case in bond, the release price of does offer a decent discount if you have somewhere to put it on arrival. We liked the wine, although the balance of all notes suggests a wine that maybe quite a firm style. As we repeat every year, there\u2019s a lot of Ch\u00e2teau Talbot, and they do tend to release a lot of it at once, but once people start drinking it, it does disappear quite quickly and the price does rise. This means it fulfils the criteria of a reasonable en primeur<\/em> buy – if you are fan there\u2019s no harm putting some away now.<\/p>\n

Ch\u00e2teau Chasse Spleen 2014<\/strong><\/a> is out at \u00a3170. Notes a bit mixed, but both we and Neal Martin (90-92) liked this, and it is in your cellar under \u00a320 a bottle including duty and VAT at current levels.<\/p>\n

The excellent Sauternes, Ch\u00e2teau Guiraud 2014<\/strong><\/a> is out at \u00a3295. Although well-rated, and at a price that seems quite reasonable for a wine with a 93-95 rating from the Wine Advocate, there are other vintages around for similar or slightly lower prices. All the same, if you enjoy these wines, think of adding a case of six bottles of twelve halves. At L&S all are at the same pro-rata price (\u00a3147.50 for six bottles or 12 halves).<\/p>\n

Also out this morning is Ch\u00e2teau Troplong Mondot 2014<\/strong> <\/a>at \u00a3560. It is hard to make a case for this as a primeur buy at this level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
