Event details
‘When they get it right, one of the real pleasures of 2021 is that even classified estates can be approached earlier than usual.’ – Jane Anson
Our new Bordeaux stock has arrived and we can’t wait to get stuck into the 2021s. This is a vintage for those who cherish the purity of Bordeaux’s terroir as the lower temperatures during ripening resulted in wines that hark back to those of the ‘80s and ‘90s. On average alcohols are 1% lower, with wines that have a lighter frame than warm, power-driven vintages like 2020 or 2015. Yet, the wines are unmistakeably Bordeaux with its tannin quality and hallmark freshness.
Join us in tasting across appellations, both sides of the River, with an exciting line-up that includes the likes of Pontet Canet, Lynch-Bages and Figeac.
