Chateau Larrivet Haut Brion Pessac-Leognan
Description: Chateau Larrivet Haut Brion is located 15 kilometres from the centre of Bordeaux in the heart of the Pessac Léognan appellation. Thanks to its acquisition by the Andros group in 1987, the estate has finally come into its own again. Following consolidation, the area under vine is now the same as at the end of the 19th century. In light of the special nature of the soil, manager Philippe Gervoson does everything in his power to adapt his wine growing to the terroir, using the methods applied by the region’s great estates. In 1996 Philippe decided to take another step towards greater quality by employing well known oenologist Michel Rolland. The grapes are hand picked as late as possible for maximum ripeness and carefully sorted before crushing. Winemaking is carried out over eighteen months, 3 months after the harvest, when the malolactic fermentation is over, the wine is put into oak barrel, one-third new each year. Racked every three months, it remains there until bottling which takes place in the spring of the second year following the harvest. Full of finesse the Chateau Larrivet Haut Brion wines are characterised as being soft, well balanced with a good tannic structure. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot reach their peak between five and 20 years cellaring. The 2000 vintage is a the deep ruby-purple-coloured wine that has aromas of ripe dark forest fruits and new oak. The blend is, firm, tannic, concentrated with a medium to full-body style while the sweetness of fruit complements a lengthy finish. Available in half bottles. (24 x 37.5 cl)

Chateau Fleur de Rol Grand Cru St Emilion
Description: Fleur de Rol employs the ubiquitous Michel Rolland as a consultant. The grapes are harvested by hand and after destemming, the wine is vinified traditionally in cement-epoxy vats with frequent temperature controls. The wine is then aged for 12 to 18 months in high quality oak barrels of which one third are new. This is a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc producing lots of charred, smoky oak on the big, bold and ambitious nose with bags of tar and black fruit. The skin extract is very evident and there is plenty of toasty vanilla flavours from the oak with dark fruit and tar again on the palate. While there is a grippy, confident finish. (12 x 75 cl)

Chateau Le Boscq Cru Bourgeois Saint Estephe
Description: Chateau Le Bosq is one of the great classics in the St. Estephe appellation. It occupies the whole of a gritty hilltop, characteristic of the best parts of this appellation. The Chateau itself is a majestic building built at the end of the 18th century, with one of the facades facing the vines, and the other giving a magnificent view of the Gironde estuary. As early as the 1995 vintage, the Dourthe team, advised by Michel Rolland, undertook a great many changes. Harvesting is staggered and now done by hand with sorting operations. Old wooden vats have been replaced by stainless steel for vinification in separate batches, while the barrels have been entirely renewed for maturing. 1996 saw a great deal of further investment at the Chateau including the complete renovation of the vinification complex. A blend of 60% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7%Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot, Château Le Boscq is a fine, distinctive terroir wine that elegantly combines the power of Saint Estephe with unusual suppleness. The sweet fruit and spicey aromas of this 2000 vintage Saint Estephe are complemeted by the great structure of this wine. Soft tannins and a nice finish make this a wine to enjoy. Available in half bottles. (12 x 37.5 cl)

Chateau Belgrave 5eme Cru Classe Haut-Medoc
Description: On taking over the management of Château Belgrave in 1979, Dourthe set itself the ambitious task of returning this prestigious Haut-Medoc Grand Cru Classé to its former glory and making wines worthy of its rank. It was under the name of Château Coutenceau that the estate was classified as a 5 Grand Cru Classé in 1855. Contrary to what could be imagined, Château Belgrave does not owe its name to the superb gravel that makes up the soil and subsoil of the whole of the estate, but to the attachment of one of its British owners to the district of Belgravia in London where he lived. Thus it was that Château Coutenceau became Château Belgrave. The estate was renowned not only for its wines, but also for the abundant game that was to be found in its woods and the receptions given at the Château in the hunting season. This link between the estate and hunting explains the presence of a ferret the labels on the wines of the Château. Château Belgrave is one of the oldest crus in the Médoc, it is located in Saint-Laurent, on the border of Saint-Julien and the appellation is only separated by a stream. The vineyard with its 55 hectares in a single stretch was ranked as a 5Grand Cru Classé for the exceptional quality of its deep gravel. Michel Rolland is now the consultant Encologist at this Chateau. The harvest is traditionally picked by hand, using small trays, the grapes are put in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, while part of the wine is then matured in barrel on lees to preserve the aromas. Finally, ageing occurs in oak barrels between 15 to 18 months. This wine is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot and displays all the concentration and finesse one has come to expect from this excellent Chateau, ripe fruit, excellent concentration, balanced tannins and a long lingering, dry finish. The 2000 Vintage is a typical Haut-Medoc with the terrior reflected in the aromas and flavour of this lovely deep red coloured wine. Firm tannins and great tannic structure are complemented by the long finish. Available in half bottles. (12 x 37.5 cl)
