The Declassified Claret Gift Box

Its the high-end claret gift youre looking for. By way of the declassified cuvée: Mr.Wheelers close relationships with some of Bordeauxs most respected negociants means were offered occasional access to special declassified parcels of world-class claret. 

'Declassified'? The very thing. Where you enjoy precisely the same pedigree and expertise of an elite cru classé estate, but in wines made with vintage-surplus fruit and in bottles without that estates grand vin label on. And when we say, 'elite cru classé estate', we mean it. Its just that we cant disclose which one. That's how we keep the price so low. 

Three wines supplied in a Wooden Gift Box.

2020 Pauillac
"The oldest red here, but still very deep in colour perhaps the biggest, most serious wine of the range. Five years maturation adds a notable polish to the striking cassis fruit with secondary notes of cedar and spice gradually emerging. This is benchmark Pauillac with an appealing combination of ripe black fruit flavours and fine grained tannins. Real poise and presence here, with a rich, chewy finish." (previous vintage)

2021 Saint-Julien
"Another very pretty, expressive 2021 with pronounced blackberry and plum aromas and an underlying green-leaf freshness. Positively glowing, with attractive perfume, warm, sweetish autumn-berry intensity and subtle herbaceous notes. A little more merlot here than the other medoc appellations- with luscious texture and no hard edges. Finishes with a dash of smoky spice and appealing chewy richness."

2021 Pomerol
"The latest addition to the range, and a very worthy one. Lots going on here in this fine expression of Pomerol deep, dark and profound with striking spiced black plum and damson fruit and an exotic, ethereal perfume. Plump and plush in texture with fine tannins, and layers and layers of flavour blackberry, mocha, grilled meat, roasted coffee and spice. Absolutely singing."
