Here at Averys, we only put our name to something when its special. And our fine claret is certainly that. So we headed back to Bordeaux to select the new vintage. Thanks to 2016's cool September nights, it has supple ripe fruit, yet still with a firm, classic structure. All the hand picked Merlot and Cabernet grapes come from a small family estate, with clay soils, just a few miles south and across the river from Libourne. It's been handed down from father to son for many generations. Offering aromas of dark berry fruit, with a core of cherry and plum freshness and savoury earthy complexity, it makes for superb drinking now and for a few years to come. Open early, it's a great choice with roast and grilled meats or a warming casserole.
