From an iconic cellar, dedicated now to all things organic, this is a magnificent 95-point Pauillac. With great depth of crushed berry fruit and graphite elegance, richly textured tannins and brooding intensity, it’s a fine claret, built to last.
Founded 200 years ago, Château Pédesclaux is a magnificent estate, both in terms of wine and architecture. It combines the beauty of the 19th century with the modernity and technological advances of the 21st.
The additional work was undertaken by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte, whose aim was to place “production at the heart of the estate within a high-performance building that is entirely fit for purpose and makes a harmonious whole with both the château and its surroundings”. It's quite something to behold.
Since the Lorenzetti family took ownership they've converted to organic. Their top wine is a rich, Cabernet-based claret, supported by Merlot, and finely expresses its gravel terroir. Still a young wine – best to cellar or open early.

Gran Reservas are Spain’s most special wines – crafted with painstaking care in only the best vintages and released years later, at their delicious peak.
They must be aged for two years in oak, and then three years in bottle – and they really don’t come into their own until many years after that.
El Bombero has been one of our top selling fan favourites for many years now. Crafted by the legendary Javier Domeque, it’s a big red from Cariñena (not far from Rioja) “home to some of the best value reds in Spain, if not the world” (Decanter). The Gran Reserva is another step up in quality and intensity. And it’s certainly incredible value – especially for you today!
This magnificent red gets its punch from ancient vines, where each grape is a knot of ripe, intense flavour. Mostly Garnacha, with a touch of Tempranillo, it delivers wonderfully evocative flavours of summer berries, plum pudding and spice. And it’s won Gold as well! Now 8 years old, this velvety red is drinking beautifully now. Make sure you secure your case today!
We are sad to say that after nearly half a century of winemaking, Javier Domeque is retiring. This is his farewell (‘despedida’) gift – a super cuvée featuring the very best fruit from pockets across Cariñena. This powerfully concentrated rich red is the ultimate in velvet smoothness, deep raspberry fruit and spice. You may never have the opportunity to try it again, so don’t miss out!

From an exceptional, sunny vintage and a much sought-after family estate, this is Brunello of superb quality. Wine Advocate called it "ripe and opulent". Dark spice, with hints of chocolate and firm tannins.
