Mature vintages: Good things come to those who wait

Ah, the charm of mature vintages! Opening a bottle of wine that’s ten or more years old is always a wonderful experience. A thrill shoots through you as you bring the glass to your lips. The wine that it holds has waited patiently for many years to be released from its prison and to reveal all its secrets. Wine lovers know that mature wines unleash the greatest emotions. They are also the cuvées which have had time to develop their aromas, so they are at their absolute best when the bottle is opened. As luck would have it, we have a sale which is packed full of bottles that have reached this state and are ready to be appreciated by passionate wine lovers like yourself.

 

Mature vintages at (very) good prices:

From Bordeaux, why not try a magnum of Château du Taillan from the amazing 2009 vintage? Also included in the sale is the Château’s 2010 with its unparalleled elegance and fruit flavours which are still very present today.

From the other side of the river, you’ll find Château Meyney, which is available in the 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2012 vintages. It’s a classic Saint-Estèphe with conservative tannins.

We have to admit that we have a soft spot for Burgundy’s Givry Premier Cru Clos Marole 2011 from Domaine Joblot.

And from the Rhône Valley, Syrah lovers always enjoy the Crozes-Hermitage Domaine de Thalabert 2010 from Maison Jaboulet.
