Bordeaux

Sauvignon Blanc grows on Cailleteau Bergeron's best sandy terroir, producing a wine full of lovely citrus, lychee, and peach aromas. More Sauvignon Blanc has been planted since 2002 to meet increasing demand.

This unoaked Bordeaux Sauvignon has to be one of the best value wines in our portfolio, its fresh green fruit aromas and notes are very refreshing, and the flavours linger very well.

A Merlot dominated Bordeaux Rouge from this very sensibly priced Entre Deux Mers property, located near the village of Creon, not far from Saint Emilion. Very popular with our clients, a great everyday claret with a supple palate and fine aromas, particularly in the extra special 2009 vintage.

Another excellent petit Chateau courtesy of the detailed selection process of the famous Borie-Manoux Bordeaux Merchant. Cotes de Blaye region offers so many excellent value traditional Bordeaux wines, and here we have an extra benefit of such a top vintage in 2010.

This is a great value Bordeaux Red from the Pessac-Leognan district, famous for the first growth Chateau Haut Brion, just south of Bordeaux City. The wines from this region are distinctive, easy to drink with an earthy spicy backbone.

Chateau Lamothe-Vincent has three white selections, this being the main or entry level cuvee, comprising a blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Semillon. The 2011 is fa ull flavoured, crisp Bordeaux Blanc, with exotic and green gooseberry notes. Well balanced it is great with seafood amd white meats.

Legend has it tha the Lord, crusading, came too late for the harvest and found that the rot had developed on the grapes. Even so he decided to collect the grapes all the same to make the wine. To his surprise, he had discovered a sweet white wine that would make the reputation of the small village; Sainte Croix du Mont. Grand Dousprat is really a lovely silky sweet wine, with intense honey notes, great with sweet desserts like Creme Brulee or equally with savoury hors d'oeuvres.

Situated in the Entre-Deux-Mers area of Bordeaux, Chateau Lamothe-Vincent is made up of two main pieces, one lying at Montignac and the other situated at Castelvieil. The grape blend is made up of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. Maturation in French and American oak barrels (33% new) for 12 months, with a slow oxidisation process giving the wine a well rounded and rich finish while still maintaining the subtle presence of fruit. An ideal match for red meats, pasta, red sauces and cheese. The 2011 did exceptionally well in a recent Decanter Magazine article assessing Bordeaux and Superieur and Premieres Cotes de Bordeaux.

The Cuvée Prestige is the result of a strictly-controlled maturing process, in barrels made of oak from the Tronçais forest, which contribute harmoniously to its complexity.

Vinification: Bordelaise traditional. Time in vat: Maceration (with skin and seeds) 2 to 3 weeks. Time in oak barrel: 9 months. Grape Variety: 60% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvigon, 20% Cabernet Franc. Alcohol: 12.5 - 13°.

The Merlot dominated Moulin de Paumirac offers a chance taste wines made in the same vein as the great Pomerol wines, from similar terroir, at a fraction of the cost.
