Exemplary, Merlot-rich claret crafted by Christian Moueix, one of the most revered names in BordeauxThis wine may only have ‘Bordeaux’ on the label, but it has top credentials. It’s from a vintage of “outstanding quality” (James Suckling) and crafted by Christian Moeuix, one of the most famous names in Bordeaux. Smooth, balanced and complex.Founded in 1937, Jean-Pierre Moueix is one of Bordeaux’s most respected négociants, famed for distributing prestigious Saint-Émilion and Pomerol wines. Under the leadership of Christian Moueix – once in charge of the legendary Château Pétrus, the most sought-after Merlot in the world – the family name became synonymous with prestige. The 2020 Bordeaux vintage has been described as “outstanding quality” by James Suckling – and this wine shows why. Expect dark berry fruit and the classic minerality Bordeaux is loved for, with ripe plum, blackcurrant, liquorice and hints of clove. It’s smooth, balanced and complex. Decant 30-60 minutes before serving to reveal its full depth. Pair with roast lamb or beef tenderloin.
