From the outstanding 2005 vintage and scoring 91/100 points by Tom Cannavan, "From a very strict selection of "very special" Grand Cru wines, just a few hundred cases of this have been bottled and it is an absolute treat. It has a plush, modern, very glossy and ripe black fruited nose, but with a really sultry, smoky depth and complex layer of minerality. In the mouth this is packed with dense, bittersweet blackberry and plum fruit, with a velvety texture and very fine tannins, adding an elegant edge into a long finish. Terrific stuff."

From the outstanding 2009 vintage and scoring 90/100 Parker points,"This is another over-achieving estate that tends to produce wines with lots of intensity and structure. This wine certainly has the formidable intensity one expects from Charmail, but the tannins are silky smooth and the result is the sexiest Charmail to date. An opulent, even voluptuously textured wine, full-bodied and dense purple in color, it is a seductive blend of 47% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered and came in with natural alcohols of 14%. The low acidity, plush fruit and silky tannins all suggest drinking this over the next decade. It is another sleeper of the vintage". Drink now - 2032.

Spend over £149.96 on Red Bordeaux wine and vintagewinegifts.co.uk will send you this limited edition signed print (Valued at £49.97) absolutely FREE.

For the 1855 Exposition Universelle de Paris, Emperor Napoleon III requested a classification system for France's best Bordeaux wines which were to be on display for visitors from around the world. Brokers from the wine industry ranked the wines according to a château's reputation and trading price, which at that time was directly related to quality. The result was the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855.
The wines were ranked in importance from first to fifth growths (crus). All of the red wines that made it on the list came from the Médoc region except for one: Château Haut-Brion from Graves.
Within each category, the various châteaux are ranked in order of quality and only twice since the 1855 classification has there been a change, first when in 1856 Château Cantemerle was added as a fifth growth and, more significantly, in 1973, when Château Mouton Rothschild was elevated from a second growth to a first growth vineyard after decades of intense lobbying by the powerful Philippe de Rothschild.
Our Limited Edition print shows the five first Growth Chateaux: Chateau Haut Brion, Chateau Lafite Rothschild, Chateau Latour, Chateau Margaux and Chateau Mouton Rothschild.

Each signed print is individually numbered and shows painted images of Chateau Haut Brion, Chateau Lafite Rothschild, Chateau Latour, Chateau Margaux and Chateau Mouton Rothschild. The Print is 35cms X 44cms (14" X 17") in size. The perfect wine lovers gift. Click on image for more details...
