Bordeaux 2015: the reds

Château Goubau, Drink now,

Until 31st August this product is discounted by 30%*
Ch. Goubau is a certified organic property, superbly situated at 100 metres above sea-level on the St Philippe d’Aiguilhe plateau, the highest point of the Bordeaux region. It was bought in December 2015 by Jacques and Fiona Thienpont of Le Pin, along with his sister and family.

With its lovely deep salmon colour the wine is immediately attractive, the nose does not disappoint: lots of zest and character and a slight smoky note; reminiscent of wild roses and pata negra. On the palate the wine is fresh and attractive with plenty of depth and body . The spicy end note is the perfect foil to the fruity mid-palate. Chilled well this wine is perfect for summer drinking - as an aperitif or with a summer barbeque!

2015 Ch. Marsau, Côtes de Francs

Chateau Marsau, For laying down,

Ch. Marsau is a clearly a property that performs well in warm vintages, with 2005, 2009 and now 2015 showing that can really outperform its classification. The 100% Merlot in the wine is reminiscent of Pomerol and in these top vintages it is a fantastic buy for any Pomerol fan looking for value for money. It has a lovely fragrant blackberry laced nose with notes of violets. The palate is juicy and full with plush tannins and rich blackberry fruit, it offers great value and will drink well from 2018 through to 2025.

2015 Margaux De Brane, Margaux

Chateau Brane-Cantenac, Ready, but will improve,

Owned by Henri Lurton, one of several Lurtons to own property in Margaux, this estate is performing in high gear. Its second wine is rich and concentrated with solid tannins as well as generous blackberry fruits. It will be impressive as it ages. Drink from 2020.

2015 Ch. Moulin Riche, St Julien

Chateau Leoville Poyferre, For laying down,

Ripe blackberries and plums dominate the nose, and there is a lovely gentle succulence on the palate with a fresh, lively acidity and a fine balance on the finish. This wine is typically priced to offer value, and we naturally hope this continues. It is a really good wine: succulent fruit, a little spice and pleasing acidity. This is a very good second wine and one which comes from specific terroir. It is soft and will certainly be more approachable at a younger age.

2015 Ch. Fleur Haut Gaussens, Bordeaux

Ch. Fleur Haut Gaussens, Ready, but will keep,

Although this wine is classified as a “humble” Bordeaux Supérieur, its grower, Hervè Lhuillier, lavishes Grand Cru levels of care on its vines. This shows in the wine, which is incredibly sleek and polished for this level – a quality further enhanced by the generosity of the 2015 vintage. Lovely plum and cedar aromas are evident, and the wine is long, but not overdone. Overall, it’s a very impressive effort.

2015 Odyssée, Pierre Graffeuille

Pierre Graffeuille, For laying down,

Dark opaque in colour. Strongly scented dark berry fruit, plums and black cherry with a hint of pepper and garrigue – enticingly complex and attractive nose, grows in the glass with decanting. The palate is very well knit together with a medium bodied palate, finely knit tannins, and cooling acidity. This is a great wine – a real balance of the finesse and class one finds in a fine Bordeaux and the rich svelte core in only the best Rhone. Blackberry fruit, dark plum, hint of mocha and espresso with a hint of pepper flows into a nice long length. Very approachable now but give another 3-5 years will be even better.

2015 Ch. Branaire-Ducru, St Julien

Chateau Branaire-Ducru, For laying down,

Patrick Maroteau's excellent 2015 from this Fourth Growth estate shows a real purity, with great precision and ripe tannins that grip and offer an intense focus. The rich, fresh, spicy nose of damsons and blackberry fruit oozes class. There is precision here, a polish – quite simply harmonious.

The wine tastes glorious, just as great wine should taste: crunchy pure and fresh fruit, high acidity, silky ripe tannins and nice balance. This is a triumphant wine, with a typical and classic blend for this great estate, and phenomenal length. It is a wine that the château can be proud of. Really elegant and one of our favourites, it's a must-buy this year.

2015 Alter Ego de Palmer, Margaux

Chateau Palmer, For laying down,

The second wine of Ch. Palmer is really aromatic in 2015, a hallmark of this great commune in Bordeaux, but something which always seems to be taken to the next level at this historic estate.

One of the top second wines, Alter Ego is lush and approachable, with red fruit dominant on the nose. The wine almost has its own identity now, one of the greatest compliments we can pay it. Beautifully fine tannins surround a mighty, meaty, focused core of fresh, ripe, crunchy fruit and a creamy texture. Very good indeed, the length is quite astonishing. Really enticing and attractive, this is a real triumph indeed.

2015 Ch. Angélus, St Emilion

Chateau Angelus, For laying down,

There is a beguiling freshness and lift to this wine, a result of the high proportion of Cabernet Franc in the blend. This perfectly interweaves with the Merlot, which is ripe, fresh and lush.

Precise dark fruits, rich, juicy blackcurrants and blackberries combine with a healthy dollop of cream. Very tasty. The spiciness on the finish is incredibly well received. With a crunchy mouth-feel, the wine’s concentration is certainly attractive.

2015 Pavillon Rouge du Ch. Margaux

Chateau Margaux, For laying down,

This is a wine of great finesse, very soft and graceful. The emphasis is not on power, but there is an underlying momentum to the wine. There is a wealth of ripe, red fruit on the nose. Purity is an effective descriptor too.

Fine-grained tannins dominate the finish, which is persistent and with great harmony. Layers upon layers of fruit dance on the palate and a textured spice really pleases. It is a pure expression of wines from Margaux.

2015 Ch. Haut-Batailley, Pauillac

Chateau Haut-Batailley, For laying down,

Succulent, with an aromatic and cassis perfume, this has genuine Pauillac personality in 2015. There is a great depth of earthy blackcurrant fruit. It is such an understated wine, elegant and charming.

The fresh mineral character is immediately appealing, such a refreshing palate. Everything feels harmonic. The dark fruits on offer are so beguiling. This estate often offers good-value wines which will be drinking within 10 years of the vintage, and we see no reason to alter that view in 2015.

2015 Ch. Pontet-Canet, Pauillac

Chateau Pontet-Canet, For laying down,

This grand Pauillac property delivers awesome flavours in 2015. You can't help but enjoy this magnificently ripe, sturdy, smoky claret. It has the cedary Pauillac characteristic. The tannins are pleasingly silky, and there is tremendous balance. Creamy blackberries and a precise shape, lead to a fruit-dominant finish hat tingles in the mouth. It needs some bottle age, but it follows the tradition of great wine from this leading estate. It's rich and powerful, but elegant and sweet.

2015 Ch. Lynch Bages, Pauillac

Chateau Lynch Bages, For laying down,

Ch. Lynch-Bages shines out like a beacon this year; it is definitely one of our favourite wines of the vintage. It has a very generous nose of toasty oak and dark fruits which are immediately appealing.

The powerfully structured palate has savoury hints of liquorice and ripe black juicy fruit which all combine in a dense, brooding, almost muscular mouth-feel. Displaying some elegance too, this Cabernet-dominated wine will surely gain even more weight in barrel and it could be tremendously stunning with a bit if patience. This estate now effortlessly outperforms its designated 1855 classification.

2015 Ch. Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, Pauillac

Chateau Pichon-Longueville Lalande, For laying down,

What a charming wine. The seductive fruit is so typical of this historic estate and I just love the enticing nose of pure cassis fruit and hints of cocoa. The ripe blackcurrant and cedar flavours combine with a touch of sweetness to produce a very generous palate.

This wine fundamentally tastes just as Pauillac should: silky, creamy and lush; ripe, fleshy and juicy. There is concentration here, as well as balance, and the cool freshness one has come to expect of wines from 2015 vintage. Really excellent.

Chateau Pichon-Longueville Baron, For laying down,

This wine suggests that Ch. Pichon Baron is really making the most of their great terroir. There is layered complexity on offer here and the weight of fruit is superbly controlled and focused.

Layered with terrific creamy notes, this wine lifts, lifts and lifts with each moment it sits on the palate. The generosity of fruit fills the finish and it combines beautifully with the spicy, toasty vanilla. There is some power here, but the structure is so sound, that it is felt but not forceful. The finish is prolonged and effortlessly enjoyable.

2015 Ch. Mouton Rothschild, Pauillac

Chateau Mouton Rothschild, For laying down,

The 2015 Ch. Mouton Rothschild is simply outstanding. It has a superb cool and racy palate brimming with Cabernet fruit. There is the ripeness, flair and gravitas you would expect from a First Growth and a very long, succulent finish.

The rich, intoxicating nose is extremely exciting, I just love the racy, pure cassis notes. The silky core of fruit is absolutely delicious. This is a really strong wine from a vintage which is justifiably rated highly. The crunch of fruit, a hallmark of the vintage, is present and utterly refreshing.

2015 Echo de Lynch Bages, Pauillac

Chateau Lynch Bages, For laying down,

This is seriously impressive, with a kick of sweet cassis fruit beautifully cloaking the grippy but extremely ripe tannins. It is a fine introduction to the wines of the great Ch. Lynch-Bages estate and really well proportioned. It is so cool, so refreshing, yet wonderfully ripe and opulent.

There is lovely creamy blackcurrant and strawberry fruit, all kept together by a fine persistence. A delicate, harmonious red fruit nose leads onto a silky, feminine palate and a beautifully balanced finish. This is an excellent (and very good-value) glimpse at the wonders of the estate, but is also a very good wine in its own right.

There is a silky texture, and a beautifully seductive nose. It is immediately appealing. Serious, grown-up and presentable, it is full of lovely sweet spice. Plump, generous and long on the finish, it is a Claret of great depth and complexity, and unmistakably a wine which shows true faith to its origins in Pessac-Léognan.

Medium-bodied, well textured and rich, with attractive acidity, a long finish and moderate but sweet tannin, this is made in a textbook Pessac-Léognan style, with crunchy, dusty fruit.

2015 Ch. les Carmes Haut Brion, Pessac-Léognan

Chateau Les Carmes Haut Brion, For laying down,

The new cellar, winery and tasting room is now open at Les Carmes and it really is quite an astounding building. The 2015 is a pretty powerful wine, serious, complex and very interesting indeed. The floral bouquet is very pretty, layered with really ripe raspberries which are ever so attractive. My favourite aspect of the wine has to be the earthy, mineral character though, as well as the brilliant tannic structure.

The gravelly soils offer a lovely character and the wine has a sense of place, of terroir. Light in the mouth, the tobacco, sweet black fruits and creamy texture create a wonderful palate, but the savoury characteristics are what I enjoy most about this wine. It is another really promising wine for this up and coming estate.
