The 2014 wines from Cos d’Estournel and the Haut Brion stable are offered this morning.<\/p>\n

\"Cos

Cos d’Estournel’s elaborate facade<\/p><\/div>\n

The whites, both Mission Haut Brion blanc<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0 and Chateau Haut-Brion blanc<\/a><\/strong>, are available in only tiny quantities and are exceptionally good this year – so there is an argument that if you really want to get hold of these, the time is now. However, you can\u00a0still\u00a0buy any vintage from before 2009 for less.<\/p>\n

\"Chateau_Haut_Brion_\"<\/p>\n

Chateau Haut Brion (Red)<\/a><\/strong> is a fabulous wine, but with older vintages available for very little more it begs the question we were asked this morning “Which major name is going to make their 2014 truly compelling?”<\/strong> <\/em>Much the same can be said of\u00a0 La Mission<\/strong>, and the Clarence<\/strong> (the newish name for the Haut Brion second wine) has never really gained traction in this market, but may have demand in others.
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Cos d’Estournel<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>has made truly great wines in 2014. \u00a0At \u00a3825\/12 for the Grand Vin – only the 2009 & 2010 are more expensive – if this\u00a0was to go straight on to a shop shelf – it would\u00a0be priced at about \u00a3160 per bottle. This is a price to make most of our customers wince, so it seems to be priced at its retail price now, when realistically someone is going to keep it twenty years.\u00a0 The COS D’ESTOURNEL Blanc<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>(\u00a3250\/6), does deserve mention for its\u00a0sheer brilliance this year – but again this comes at a fullish price, it is the most expensive vintage on the market – and although it is probably their best to date.<\/p>\n

The ‘lesser’ wines from these great estates do offer good drinking and are worth considering as the prices seem fair. \u00a0It is a super PAGODES DE COS<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(\u00a3260\/12) and the\u00a0DRAGON DE QUINTUS<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(\u00a3170\/12) from the Haut Brion team showed well when tasted in Bordeaux, even\u00a0in the company of their stable-mates.<\/p>\n

There are a couple of other releases today worth mentioning –\u00a02014 CH\u00c2TEAU FAUG\u00c8RES<\/a><\/strong> at \u00a3210 should not disappoint followers and\u00a02014 CH\u00c2TEAU LAB\u00c9GORCE<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0 Margaux at \u00a3155\/12 was very\u00a0well noted by Neal Martin in The Wine Advocate – we like what they are doing here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
