The 2022 produced some "unbelievable wines" (Decanter) and you have three luxury examples here. 2018 and 2020 were exceptional too, as the TRIPLE Gold 2018 Gromel Bel Air and SEVEN Gold 2020 Haut Pougnan show. And then there’s a not-so-recent vintage – an extraordinary 2004 from a very fine St-Émilion estate. Held back for 21 years until its most magnificent drinking peak, it’s beautifully, evocatively mellow – a glorious wine.

To truly appreciate a fine wine, it’s essential to use the right glassware, which is why the Château de Francs 2016 comes with 2 FREE glasses!
Château de Francs is one of the oldest estates of Bordeaux. Acquired by two prominent Saint Emilion figures in 1985, it has since received significant investment, resulting in superb clarets. They taste even better when enjoyed from glasses specifically crafted for red Bordeaux.
From the classic 2016 vintage, this fine red is dark, velvety and complex. It’s full bodied and intense with ripe, concentrated fruit, while barrel aging adds layers of complexity and roundness. Enjoy this exceptional claret with roasted duck.
“2020 has produced a number of excellent wines and in parts can be confirmed as the conclusion of a great trilogy,” (Decanter magazine).
Bordeaux lovers, get ready for a sensational example from fine family estate and the exceptional 2020 vintage. The best news? You don’t have to pay a fortune for this lavish French red.
As critic James Suckling says: “2020 is the third outstanding vintage in a row for Bordeaux and marks perhaps the first time the region has experienced such a high-quality trilogy of superlative years.” Jancis Robinson says “some stunning wines have been produced in 2020” and Antoni Galloni loves its “balance of richness and energy”.
With SEVEN Golds to its name this lavish Bordeaux is certainly showing off how good this vintage has been.
A superior Bordeaux! You’ll notice the appellation is a Bordeaux Supérieur and yes, it is a step up in quality. A Bordeaux Supérieur is restricted to particular grape varieties and has to meet certain quality standards. It also has higher minimum alcohol levels and longer ageing requirements than regular Bordeaux AOC wines.
And it tastes like …? Magic in a glass! Deep purple in colour, the aroma is bursting with beautiful floral notes, ripe plums, blackberry, cassis, tobacco and spice. On the palate, savour silky fruit and creamy, cedary oak and a long, velvety finish. It’s a delicious partner to a good cut of steak – but do let it breathe a bit before you serve it.
