Our declassified wines are from 'the most celebrated Châteaux in all Bordeaux (and I mean the most celebrated)' and are sold a fraction of the price of their top wines. Included are new vintages of ourSaint-Julien and Pauillac which 'readers positively lapped up last time'. Our best-selling Saint-Émilion 2012 and Saint-Estèphe 2011 (which comes in magnums too) and the 'approachable charmer' that is the Margaux 2014. Last but not least, our new declassified Sauternes 2012 which is 'an absolute corker'.
'The 2011 St. Julien is everything that a fine, classically structured claret should be. From one of St. Julien's finest 'Super Seconds', well known for the beautiful pebbles found in its soil, it has an impeccable pedigree and is full of ripe dark fruit, hints of tobacco, leather and spice. Decant it and ask your guests to guess the provenance and price.'
