Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2020
This wine is offered in individual wooden cases La Mission Haut-Brion sits directly across the road from its more famous neighbour, yet it has never played second fiddle — not really. This is Pessac-Léognan at its most serious: a wine of iron, smoke, and extraordinary depth that comes from some of the finest gravel over clay soils in all of Graves. The 2020 vintage was a genuinely great year in Bordeaux, warm and concentrated but with enough freshness to keep everything taut, and La Mission made the most of it. Cabernet Sauvignon leads, with Merlot and a whisper of Cabernet Franc providing weight and perfume.
The Chocolate Block Methuselah 2023
A cult favourite with our customers, The Chocolate Block is made in limited quantities by the characterful Marc Kent at Boekenhoutskloof. It’s an opulent style with super-fine tannins and a luscious palate with chocolatey notes.
