2015 Bordeaux is a legendary vintage. For those of you who purchased on futures, you made a wise decision. In-bottle scores are on the high end of the score range and prices for the ‘wines of the vintage’ have already sored. In great years, the so-called Petit Chateaux (small houses) are a bargain and you get some very fine for quite reasonable prices. Some of the Petit Chateaux have arrived at deVines and we highly recommend you try some of these while quantities last. Many of these can actually age short-term (2-5 years) easily.
Look out for upcoming tastings of the 2015 Bordeaux vintage – Petit Chateaux, Left and Right Bank themed tastings – will be forthcoming in the fall.
