The Bordeaux 2019 Second Growth Assortment Case

By

 

The Bordeaux 2019 Second Growth Assortment Case.

We are delighted to offer you a chance to get your hands on a selection of great wines from the outstanding 2019 vintage.  When we were recently in Bordeaux we had the opportunity to re-taste some 2019's and it soon became clear that they were genuinely brilliant. The wines have clearly developed very well over the last couple of years, so we have created a limited number of unique mixed cases.
 
This is a wonderful opportunity for you to get hold of a cross section of wines from a vintage that is already regarded as one of the greatest ever in the region. Experience the wines for yourself first hand, with a horizontal of the Second Growths. 

'the 2019 is a wonderful vintage to finish the decade. It is a style of wine that I personally adore'

Neal Martin

 

The 1855 Classification of Bordeaux wines from the left bank has remained virtually unchanged, with only one alteration to the Second Growths - Mouton was promoted to a First Growth in 1973. The remaining Second Growths are still regarded today as the most important wines of the Médoc after the elite Firsts.

The wines are packed in a special bespoke wooden case, designed exclusively for Grand Vin Wine Merchants.  This really is an unmissable opportunity to acquire some of the greatest wines from this historic vintage... it would certainly make for a great dinner party in 20 years from now!

Our advice would be to buy in multiples of 2 cases and perhaps sell half in years to come, or track how they develop over the decades...

Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2021

By
  We are delighted to bring you the new 2021 vintage of New Zealand's iconic  Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc . This is really perfumed, with fresh guava, grass, papaya and bitter-lemon aromas - Always attractive.    - 92 pts James Suckling Cloudy Bay was established in 1985 by the award winning winemaker David Hohnen, founder of Cape Mentelle in Australia's Margaret River.

'The hallmark of the Gaja estate, the Barbaresco is sourced from 14 vineyards within Barbaresco and Treiso. For the 2018 vintage, there will be no single cru bottlings for Barbaresco' Jeb Dunnuck   Gaja Barbaresco has an extraordinary track record and this is a wine that the family have been making since 1859.
