Bordeaux is where our whole wine merchant story began, five decades ago. As you’d expect, we’ve plenty of friends in the region, not least the superb viticulturalist Ludovic Roussillon. His Château Le Coin lies just across the river from our exclusive cellar and winemaking studio, Le Chai au Quai. The soils on Ludovic’s Entre Deux Mers estate are rich in limestone and quick draining, which concentrates the flavours of the grapes. Ludovic is great to work with and very generous. He even lets our own Bordeaux specialist Jean-Marc Sauboua cherry pick the best vats and supervise the finishing of the wine. Made mostly with prime Merlot, the 2019 vintage of this award-winning Bordeaux is a real treat. And the ideal match for roast lamb.
