Three bottles each of four good but affordable wines, regular favourites of the seller and other WS members, from the 2014 Bordeaux vintage, bought en primeur and stored in Wine Society reserves. Descriptions and drink dates from original offer brochure. Estimated current retail price around £20–25/bottle. The Cuvée Nectar is drinking well; the others will benefit from a substantial decant or another couple of years.
3 bot Côtes de Bourg Nectar Ch de la Grave 2014
Drinking 2019–2026. Delicious and well-proportioned Bourg from Valérie and Philippe Bassereau, with around 95% merlot, most of which comes from vines that are 40 years old or more, adding extra density. Large oak foudres have replaced new oak, bringing a greater sense of place to the wine. A great buy.
3 bot Castillon Madame de Ch de Pitray 2014
Drinking 2019–2029. There was little August rain in Castillon, helping to maintain a healthy crop through to the end of October. This was the latest ever harvest at Pitray. With 35% unoaked cabernet franc and the balance oak-matured merlot, this has lovely purity of fruit and fine tannins. One of the best-value wines of the vintage.
3 bot Haut-Médoc Ch Cissac 2014
Drinking 2020–2028. The very dry September resulted in a wine of deep colour and concentrated, spicy cabernet sauvignon fruit. The wine will benefit from time in bottle to reach its full potential. Well-priced, classically styled claret.
3 bot Moulis Ch Dutruch-Grand-Poujeaux 2014
Drinking 2019–2029. With a splash of cabernet franc for the first time, a little petit verdot, just a little more merlot than cabernet sauvignon and a good yield this year, Jean-Baptiste Cordonnier was delighted by his late but successful 2014 harvest. Close to the quality of his 2010, he thinks.
