Low Stock Château de Birot 2007

Château de Birot 2007

Item Code: 4409707

Description

Enjoy the subtle, mellow fruit of smart, long-aged Bordeaux with this remarkably well-priced claret that is drinking well after 17 years’ of age. It’s from a beautiful estate in the superior Premières Côtes. Delicate, complex, earthy red fruits.



Château de Birot is an elegant, 17th-century property with vineyards perched on a high plateau looking down on the Garonne river and across to famous Sauternes. Until a few years ago, it belonged to the renowned Castéja family. They sold it and the new owners have been working hard, updating the estate. In the cellar, they discovered a forgotten batch of château wine from 2007.

Despite its 17 years’ age, it’s still tasting delicious, complex and long. It’s Merlot dominated from estate vineyards in the superior Premières Côtes, with a little of both Cabernets. After 17 years of maturing in the cellars, it has developed some sediment in bottle. A good sign. Stand the bottle upright for a few hours and carefully decant just before serving.

The Holdings Syrah Malbec 2022

Item Code: 3087022

Description

Awarded 'New World Winery of the Year 2022' by Wine Enthusiast and with a Lifetime Achievement award too, Zuccardi is more than impressive. This is the family’s deliciously moreish mix of spicy Syrah and Malbec, with black fruit and silken tannins.

This supple, great-value red shows that Argentina produces more than just great Malbec – it excels with Syrah too! The wine is from Zuccardi – a highly awarded, third-generation family cellar founded in the 1960s by Don Alberto Zuccardi. An engineer by trade, he invented an irrigation system then planted a vineyard to show wine estates how it could benefit grape quality. Now Zuccardi is one of Mendoza’s leading cellars: winner of Best Vineyard in South America, New World Winery of the Year, a Lifetime Achievement award, Top winemaker prize and their top wines regularly gain 100 Parker points. Not quite in that league, this elegant red combines Syrah's peppery bramble fruit with Malbec’s spicy violet notes. Tasty with chilli or pasta.
