Chateau Clement Pichon 2005 - £19.59Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.For centuries, Chateau Clement-Pichon has set the bar for quality Bordeaux. Rich in heritage, the estate has housed a number of illustrious historical figures, including Louis XIV, who would often spend hunting seasons here. Today, it is owned by hugely talented winemaker Jean-Luc Thunevin. Jean-Luc has spent a great deal of time - and money - renovating the property to its former splendour ... and judging by the latest vintages, his efforts have paid off! It's no surprise that this ''legendary'' 2005 vintage eclipsed every wine to come out of the estate, before or since. Ripe and voluptuous with a wealth of rich dried fruit flavours - you really must try this! Wine Spectator awarded a hefty 86 points to this wine, describing it as ''medium-bodied, with velvety tannins and vanilla dominating the ripe fruit''. Outstanding!
