7 May 2024
Chateau Angelus - A supremely elegant Angelus. £1560 per 6.
Chateau Lafon Rochet -Under new ownership with more density in the 2023 - 93-95 AG "driven by an elevated presence of Cabernet Sauvignon and a healthy dollop of Petit Verdot. ...There's plenty of Lafon-Rochet finesse, but with an added kick of textural richness not found in the wines made during the Tesseron era." £165 per 6.
Chateau Malartic Lagraviere Rouge - £159 per case.
Chateau Malartic Lagraviere Blanc - £231 per case. 92-94 AG "a seriously beautiful wine... I especially admire the wine's inner perfume and balance. This is one of the better dry whites of the year."
Chateau Haut Batailley - Particularly refined Pauillac this year. £216 per case.
