Bordeaux 2015
2015 Bordeaux has produced wonderfully vibrant balanced red wines.
The old adage of “location, location, location” could not be more appropriate than in 2015. There is a reason why the greatest estates have been awarded classified growth status; quite simply it is because they have the very best vineyard locations within a given commune, i.e. close to the river in the Médoc, on the fine clay plateau in Pomerol or the finest gravels in Pessac-Léognan and so on. Consequently, the secret to this vintage is selection, picking out such estates and realising why they have performed so brilliantly.
Our list of 2015s is comprehensive yet carefully chosen. While the grander chateaux need longer in bottle, the Crus Bourgeois, second wines and lesser classified growths are starting to drink beautifully and represent superb value.
