Great Value and Recommended Wines
Angludet
Margaux Cru Bourgeois
2015 blend: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot.
‘One of the best value Angludet releases since 2005’ – James Davy
‘Very dark. Interesting peppery nose with real attack and vigour. Luscious fruit. Perhaps not the
absolute concentration of a great long-term wine but should give lots of pleasure early. Drink 20222030’ – Jancis Robinson
(92 pts Tim Atkin)
Cantemerle
Haut Medoc
£210.00
E-MAIL US ABOUT THIS WINE
2020-2030
‘The 2015 Cantemerle is a blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 8% Cabernet
Franc and 6% Petit Verdot. It offers plenty of blackberry and raspberry fruit on the nose, not
the best defined that I encountered among the Haut-Médocs, but with plenty of "stuffing."
The palate is medium-bodied with supple red and black fruit on the entry matched with a
fine thread of acidity. There is a pleasing crescendo in the mouth driven by that Merlot
content and it finishes with some swagger. This is a very fine Cantemerle exuding joie-devivre that I can see doling out plenty of drinking pleasure over the next decade and beyond.
Tasted thrice with consistent notes.’ – Neal Martin

‘Dark, rich, serious, well-extracted fruit; firm but with just the right pressure on the pedal.
One that will age very well, continuing a run of strong vintages here. Cinnamon and black
pepper spice from 7% Petit Verdot – increasingly common in Pessac-Léognan. 53% Cabernet
Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, 80% new oak.’ – Jane Anson, Decanter

2020-2028
The 2015 Citran has a reticent nose, tightly wound at the moment with broody, earthy black
fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin shrouded by attractive red berry fruit, a
dash of white pepper and impressive structure towards the fresh, saline finish. This is a
well-crafted Citran that should end up at the top-end of my score band. - Neal Martin

The 2015 Marquis d'Alesme Becker is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3%
Petit Verdot and 7% Cabernet Franc that was cropped at 35 hl/ha between 28 September
and 15 October. Matured in 65% new oak, it has a precocious bouquet with opulent violettinged cassis fruit that needs to find a little more delineation. The palate is medium-bodied
with grippy tannin, plenty of depth with a crisp line of acidity, with impressive density on the
finish that would be enhanced with more precision. - Apr 2016, www.eRobertParker.com,
