Declassified Wine

"Its golden hue has deepened, the honey notes, the roasted nuts and candied fruits have become more pronounced and yet that citrus freshness remains."

"...Saint-Estèphe is my one naughty treat really, of serious excellence. It was hugely enjoyable when we offered the same vintage last year and that enticing juiciness remains."

"...from a stellar château whose grand vin sells for just shy of £400 a bottle."

"...one that FVD's Esme Johnstone, à la sungazer, believes is richer and more profound than the 2020 incarnation and already very approachable."

A classic Pauillac expressed entirely through estate vineyard fruit and by the same winemaking team as châteaus grand vin label itself.

Another very pretty, expressive 2021 with pronounced blackberry and plum aromas and an underlying green-leaf freshness.
