\"Ducru<\/p>\n

Ch\u00e2teau Ducru-Beaucaillou<\/em><\/h6>\n

This afternoon\u00a0we have the release of Bruno Borie’s much praised Ducru Beaucaillou 2014<\/strong><\/a> (\u00a3750\/12)<\/strong>. Like L\u00e9oville las Cases<\/strong><\/a> (\u00a3895\/12<\/strong>, released on Friday) Ducru has been said by critics to be close to, or even equal to the quality of the First Growths, but at less than half the price.<\/p>\n

“another magnificent Ducru-Beaucaillou” (Neal Martin)<\/em><\/h5>\n
“Readers who can find the 2014 should not hesitate, as it is truly magnificent” Antonio Galloni<\/em><\/h5>\n
“A total success in this vintage as one can now expect from Ducru” Steven Spurrier<\/em><\/h5>\n

Bruno has helpfully collated the critic’s notes on his website as below, just in case we missed any:\"Ducru<\/a><\/p>\n

The other wines in this stable are also out: La Croix de Beaucaillou<\/strong><\/a> (\u00a3230\/12)<\/strong> and Lalande Borie<\/strong><\/a> (\u00a3150\/12).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ch\u00e2teau Lafite<\/a>\u00a0(\u00a32950\/12)<\/strong>\u00a0have now released their second tranche to the market which has allowed some Bordeaux negociants to release pricing. We are therefore happy to now offer this on at just a fraction more than the first tranche pricing. This looks hugely attractive, well below any other vintages in the market. We can also offer a small amount of their second wine\u00a0Carruades de Lafite<\/a> (\u00a3900\/12).<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
