Last week I was incredibly fortunate to attend a dinner with Mark Savage MW who had brought a brilliant line-up of Tertre Roteboeuf (as well as some Roc de Cambes for good measure). Held at the beautiful St John’s College in Oxford, we would be trying several vintages from the last 30 years, all produced by the great Francois Mitjavile.
From today and until the end of March, Farr Vintners will be participating in Wine Relief and raising money for Comic Relief by donating £20 for every case that we sell from a specially selected list of some of our favourite and best value wines. Farr Vintners selling prices will remain unaltered with the £20 donated directly out of our profits. With the generous help of our customers we hope that this will enable us to donate over £100,000 to an exceptional cause.
For my final report on the 2009 red wines of Bordeaux we come to Pauillac. For me, this commune is the heart of Bordeaux and, of course, it contains three First Growths and many other world famous properties.
