Averys Fine Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois 2016

Bordeaux has long been at the heart of the Averys, so we look for wines full of authenticity for our own label range. Just like this delicious Haut-Médoc. It’s made for us by Château Muret, a family-owned estate in Saint Seurin-de-Cadourne, just a few kilometres down the road from the prestigious districts of Saint-Estèphe and Pauillac. It’s a classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot, that delivers dense, yet silky black fruit and spice. It has a great structure too, with that classic, appetising bite of tannin, alongside roasted woody notes. From the long-lived 2016 vintage, it’s full of velvety ripe fruit, now showing lovely maturity. The perfect bottle to open with a traditional roast or a rich mushroom and ale pie.
