Hi to all our valued cellar and selected premium wine customers,

This week – a quintet of astonishingly great cellar wines from France – very limited availability.

The three greatest red wines in France, and indeed the world are First Growth Bordeaux, Grand Cru Burgundy and great Syrah from Hermitage or Cote Rotie.  No cellar is complete without some representatives of the “Holy Trinity” of great French reds.

This week we have selected some of the finest examples ever made of these classic reds.  From 2000 Haut Brion, a classic vintage of “the original First Growth”; 2006 Guigal Ex Voto Ermitage, a special luxury Hermitage made only in exceptional years by the leading producer in the northern Rhone; and two Grand Cru Burgundies from exceptional domaines.

These wines have all been carefully cellared by us for a few years and range from five to eleven years old already, but will reward far, far more patient cellaring.

While waiting for these wines to mature, we have also selected two fabulous Burgundy values to enjoy in the short to medium term.  A village Chambolle Musigny from one of Burgundy’s finest domaines, and a wonderful Premier Cru white Burgundy from a fantastic producer in a lesser-known village.

As a group these wines represent the pinnacle of red wine in the world.  Unfortunately we only have tiny quantities of each, which we’re offering on a first response basis. Don’t miss out on collecting these carefully-selected, classic, cellar-aged great wines of France
