About

First Growths

The Bordeaux First Growths are the crown jewels of the wine world, commanding admiration for their exceptional quality and longevity. Their classification as premier crus in Bordeaux's esteemed 1855 Classification has solidified their status at the pinnacle of the fine wine world over the centuries. As global demand for fine wines continues to grow, and quality continues to improve, the scarcity and prestige associated with first growth wines only adds to their appeal. The first growths, Château Haut-Brion, Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Latour, Château Margaux and Château Mouton Rothschild, have established themselves as enduring symbols of excellence.

Lafite Rothschild 2016 Pauillac, Bordeaux

"From tasting this during EP sessions to having the luck to taste it on several occasions since bottling, this wine defines Château Lafite - absolute perfection in terms of balance and elegance. The purest example of cassis and dark cherries, with graphite like precision and the intoxicating blend of spice, tobacco and pencil shavings - it is the absolute essence of everything that should be celebrated about Lafite - truly one of the greatest wines ever made." - David Thomas, Sales Director

Mouton Rothschild 2016

"Extreme power and cabernet definition - a vinous explosion from the glass - powerful and ripe blackcurrants, blueberry and mocha - hints of dark chocolate and tobacco - but it has the most sensual floral undertones, it is an aroma that seduces you into the glass. The palate is pure perfection as the '2016' vintage signature of elegance, poise, restraint, power and balance reveals itself across your palate. It certainly packs a punch, but kisses you on the finish... what a wine." - David Thomas, Sales Director

Price: £3,264.02 per 6x75cl (In Bond)
