Why Bordeaux Still Matters

In Stock Now

Hello Collectors,

Last Monday’s focus on 2016 sparked an especially thoughtful conversation with one of our clients, a lifelong Bordeaux lover with decades of experience tasting and traveling throughout the region. We agreed that Bordeaux has quietly become something of an unsung hero – a notion that might have seemed unlikely years ago, when the region sat squarely at the center of serious collecting before attention shifted toward Burgundy, cult California, and other more fashionable categories. 

We firmly stand by this view today, based on our market observations as well as our own tasting experience over many years: Bordeaux remains hard to beat for value, collectability, and drinkability at virtually every price point, and deserves a place in every cellar. It’s often the first region we recommend to collectors seeking focus in their acquisitions and wines built to truly stand the test of time. We’re fortunate to have a deep and compelling selection available right now, all in stock in our warehouse (no tariffs!) and ready to ship or transfer to your storage. Many of these vintages are in that sweet spot with a bit of age – so they are approachable – but more years of cellaring would certainly benefit as well!

Across a wide range of vintages, formats, and top Châteaux – many with exceptional critical acclaim – this is a prime opportunity to add to, or begin building, a serious Bordeaux collection. Highlights include the beautifully complete 2018 Beau-Séjour Bécot (96 VM) in multiple formats, the benchmark 2015 L’Église-Clinet (98+ WA), a classic and impeccably stored 1998 Latour, the monumental 2010 Mouton Rothschild (100 VM), the elegant and powerful 2018 Palmer (100 VM), and the always compelling 2018 Vieux Château Certan (99 WA).
