He left his native Bordeaux in the early 1990s in search of new and exciting wine territory in which to invest. He was heading for Chile but was side-tracked by old Malbec vineyards in Argentina and never left. Hervé now runs one of the leading estates in Mendoza, and has won a string of national and international Golds and Trophies as well as 90+ scores from critics. This dense, velvety red is made from the hand-picked fruit of 80-year-old vines in Mendoza, a region with “the terroir to produce not just good but truly great Malbec” (Decanter). Matured for a year in fine French oak, it’s a complex, elegant style, that will age. For now, decant early and serve with a fine cut of beef.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Laithwaites Direct Wines HK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42971729035375,"sku":"0183921","price":199.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/9588\/9263\/files\/0183921.jpg?v=1756197318"},{"product_id":"esule-by-redheads-2019","title":"Esulé by RedHeads 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003e\nWine Advocate is emphatic in its praise for RedHeads winery: \"Tour-de-force winemaking.

This 92-93 point 2020 punches well above its price and offers very good value indeed when compared to its neighbours. There's been immense praise from critics for Bordeaux's 2020 vintage, \"another great year for Bordeaux\" wrote James Suckling; \"Margaux is one of the success stories of 2020\" put Neal Martin, while Jancis Robinson declared \"stunning wines have been produced\". Although yields were down, Margaux performed well and Château Labégorce is an excellent buy. Unlike many of its neighbours Labégorce wasn’t classified in 1855, meaning that the wines remain today very well priced. With vines on average 30 years old, some over 100, they yield grapes of tremendous concentration, the flavour of which is flattered by ageing for 15 months in half-new oak barrels. With rich, warm black fruits, espresso notes and firm rounded tannins, this is a keeper.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Laithwaites Direct Wines HK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42971731329135,"sku":"0988020","price":369.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/9588\/9263\/files\/0988020.jpg?v=1757320132"},{"product_id":"chateau-pedesclaux-2020","title":"Château Pédesclaux 2020","description":"","brand":"Laithwaites Direct Wines HK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42971731492975,"sku":"1075120","price":469.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/9588\/9263\/files\/1075120_1.jpg?v=1757320584"},{"product_id":"lopez-de-heredia-vina-tondonia-tinto-reserva-2009","title":"López de Heredia Viña Tondonia Tinto Reserva 2009","description":"","brand":"Laithwaites Direct Wines HK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42971733885039,"sku":"1795709","price":399.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/9588\/9263\/files\/1795709.jpg?v=1757383647"},{"product_id":"redheads-dogs-of-the-barossa-shiraz-2019","title":"RedHeads Dogs of the Barossa Shiraz 2019","description":"","brand":"Laithwaites Direct Wines HK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42971746435183,"sku":"2677219","price":369.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/9588\/9263\/files\/2677219.jpg?v=1749213166"},{"product_id":"chateau-beausejour-becot-2020","title":"Château Beauséjour-Bécot 2020","description":"","brand":"Laithwaites Direct Wines HK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42971746730095,"sku":"2895120","price":579.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/9588\/9263\/files\/2895120.jpg?v=1749213164"},{"product_id":"chateau-haut-brisson-2020","title":"Château Haut-Brisson 2020","description":"","brand":"Laithwaites Direct Wines HK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42973538680943,"sku":"3818020","price":359.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/9588\/9263\/files\/3818020.jpg?v=1749200779"},{"product_id":"chateau-sainte-marguerite-2009","title":"Château Sainte Marguerite 2009","description":"","brand":"Laithwaites Direct Wines HK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42973538975855,"sku":"3826909","price":209.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/9588\/9263\/files\/3826909.jpg?v=1749200778"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.directwines.com.hk\/collections\/sommeliers-choice.oembed","provider":"Laithwaites Direct Wines HK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
