Bordeaux Christmas Case

This case has been hand-picked with Christmas in mind; three exceptional red wines all coming very nicely into their drinking window right now, and from some of the top producers the Gironde has to offer.

Château Lilian Ladouys Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel, 2020

"This estate continues to deliver the goods, and the 2020 Château Lilian Ladouys is another smoking wine readers will love. Lots of ripe black fruits, tobacco leaf, chocolate, and damp earth give way to a medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, textured, beautifully balanced red that will drink well for 20 years or more." 92-94/100 Jeb Dunnuck

Château Sénéjac, 2020

"This shows aromas of blackcurrants and black cherries with cocoa, pine cones, toasted spices and nut shell. Medium-bodied with round and polished tannins and a fine texture. Some delicious fruit character coming through turning to a chalky and crushed stone yet juicy finish. Try in 2024." 93/100 James Suckling

Château Clinet, Ronan By Clinet Bordeaux Rouge, 2018

"2018 was a superb, sunny vintage in Bordeaux, and this is starting to hit its prime drinking window. There's an intoxicating nose of cassis, plum, cigar box and a touch of spice, whilst the palate is gloriously smooth, packed full of vibrant red fruit flavour with some complexity from the oak. It's easy to see why sommeliers love this wine and serve it in restaurants all over the country. It's just a classic claret at a terrific price!" Fine Wine Offers
