Great value from the right bank
Posted by Julian Campbell, Buyer
We can now offer three of the best value wines from the right bank. Firstly, Feytit Clinet, a 91-93 Parker point Pomerol. This estate has wonderful terroir and consistently makes attractive and very well priced Pomerol. Secondly, the marvellous Petite Eglise, the second wine from L`Eglise Clinet. Denis Durantou is one of the finest wine-makers in Bordeaux and his 2008 Petite Eglise exhibits all the qualities you would expect from one of his wines. Thirdly, and possibly the best value of all is La Chenade. This Lalande de Pomerol property has made a wonderful 2008 – packed with juicy, fruit character, this is a really impressive and delicious little drinker.

Post Parker Releases
Posted by Julian Campbell, BuyerOver 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.
