Consequently, they are under-valued and very smart acquisitions.”
Hi from Matt,
We have just landed our shipment of Bordeaux from the 2008 vintage that Robert Parker describes as “classic and outstanding wines that represent excellent value.”
The wines came direct from Chateau, were trucked and shipped in a refrigerated container and are now safely resting in our temperature controlled cellar. As lovingly-shipped imports, direct from Chateau they are well-priced and are in perfect condition.
We are pleased to inform you that we will soon be offering 2010 en primeur releases. Buying Bordeaux en primeur means that you guarantee securing the wines that you want at the best possible price. First tranche en-primeur offers will start any time in the next couple of weeks, and we recommend that as soon as they start that you check your inbox daily, as quantities from this exceptional vintage will be down on last year, and all offers are on a first reply basis.
