2016 Château Poitevin, Cru Bourgeois Médoc (dispatched mid-November)

The joy of claret continues. You find it in this brilliant new discovery – the 2016 Château Poitevin, Médoc. Three-in-one joy, in fact: superb vintage (now drinking beautifully), vibrant AOC expression, under £20 a bottle. In other words, for the dedicated Bordeaux drinker, all that is required. 

Because at this price, it’s a claret you should be buying in cases at a time. Your Bordeaux drinker is treated to layers of dark-berry fruit framed by supple tannins, where creamy textures and touches of toasty vanilla oak deliver a classic Médoc experience.

An experience that accounts for Château Poitevin’s subsequent upgrading to a superior ‘Cru Bourgeois’ AOC status with the release of their 2018 vintage.

They’re that good, and this sumptuous 2016 confirms it. It's also why we shipped an initial 150 cases upon its discovery. But understandably, these are disappearing quickly, so we would urge that you act now on today’s – well, joyful – offer. Then make some space in that cellar.
