Post Parker Releases

Posted by Julian Campbell, Buyer
Over the Bank Holiday, we have seen the release of the magnificent Chateau Figeac. The 2008 is one of their greatest wines in recent times. The whole J&B team were thrilled by the quality; a really immense wine, which will reward long term cellaring.

Today has seen the release of Yquem and Pichon Longueville (Baron). Both have been well received by the critics. We instantly fell for the Yquem, which is the standout Sauternes this vintage. The flavours are complex and very precise, whilst the price of £1820 is the best release price since the 2004.
