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...

Silvia Vannucci's Piaggia Carmignano Riserva 2019 & 2020 Piaggia Cabernet Franc Poggio de’Colli

By
  We all know the story of Super Tuscan wines, how in the 1970's the likes of Antinori broke the rules and introduced French grape varieties to Italy. Hold on. Re-wind. Quite far, in fact, back to the 1500's when Henry II of France married Catherine de Medici. The French gifted the Medici family some Cabernet vines, which they planted in their vineyards in Carmignano. Carmignano is a tiny 110 hectare appellation in Tuscany, protected from the cold of the north by the Apennines, and from the vagaries of coastal weather by the Montalbano hills, with soils rich in clay and schist. It already had a great reputation for growing local varieties like Sangiovese - by the 1700's it had already been given a protected classification - and it has been blending these with Cabernet varieties for hundreds of years. Roll forward to the 1970's, and Maur...

2018 Gaja Barbaresco

By
  This week we had the opportunity to taste the extraordinary new release from Gaja - the 2018 Barbaresco - with Gaia Gaja at Maccelaio restaurant in London.  The wine was absolutely stunning and this came as no surprise, as  Gaja decided to include all of their famed single vineyard juice (from Sori San Lorenzo, Sori Tildin & Costa Russi) into their estate Barbaresco.   Perfumed, complex and with such beautiful finesse and elegance, it was simply a joy to taste. '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. It is 100% Nebbiolo sourced from the families various vineyards located in the municipality of Barbaresco. The winery was founded in 1859 in Langhe, Piedmont by Giovanni Gaja and it ...
