A flurry of activity

Again, another busy day on the Place. First thing we saw Calon Segur release at £295 per case. The `Lafite of St Estephe` has sold incredibly well. The new recruits from Ch Margaux and Ch Latour have brought their considerable expertise to the party and are pushing quality even higher. Bravo. Next came Talbot. We have offered at £240, which is a market beating price, and this too seems to have been well received. This afternoon heralds the release of La Conseillante. Consistently one of the best wines from the plateau of Pomerol; the 2008 really shone at the UCG tasting. At £495 per case, this is a very serious, creamy textured Pomerol, which will thrill and delight those with a penchant for a bit of Merlot.
