2016 Château Poitevin, Cru Bourgeois Médoc

"The 2016 Ch. Poitevin, a Cru Bourgeois claret from the Médoc of immense style and extremely modest price tag. I’d never heard of this estate before and more fool me, because since this vintage, it has won the Cru Bourgeois cup and been promoted to Cru Bourgeois Supérieur. A blend of Cab Sauv, Merlot and Petit Verdot, it’s fully mature and in wonderful condition with juicy dark fruit, silky tannins, cedarwood, mocha, leather and heaven knows what else. It’s a superb claret that just cries to be drunk. The ever-succinct Mrs Ray’s tasting note simply reads: ‘Crikey, oooh, yes please!’"
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator

One of last year's truly great claret discoveries - the 2016 Château Poitevin, Cru Bourgeois, Médoc.  Our customers have certainly discovered it. It's why they continue to come back for more. Back for more layers of dark-berry fruit, more supple tannins, more creamy texture and touches of toasty vanilla oak. For more of an utterly classic Médoc experience.

One which has always been so authentic, so authentically expressive, that the estate was promoted to 'Cru Bourgeois Supérieur' status in 2018. And this now-mature 2016 confirms why. So, make this experience yours this Christmas by ordering a case or two of 2016 Château Poitevin today.
