DU TERTRE - £210 per case/12 IB. A popular Classed Growth in Margaux.
"This is really excellent for the vintage. A beautiful wine with berry, hints of hazelnut and chocolate. Medium body, fine tannins and a savory finish. The warmer soils in Tertre helped in the coolness of 2013." James Suckling 91-92

POUJEAUX - £175 per case/12 IB.  A cru bourgeois and from the heart of the Medoc, now owned by the Cuvelier family of Clos Fourtet.
