Roche Gaillan Medoc Magnum AOC 2000 - £22.49
Price on from Laithwaites.
It's rare to see 2000 claret at best, let alone in magnum format! It was a vintage of historic significance and fabulous quality - a dream end to the century for the winemakers of Bordeaux. Seven years on and of the few bottles still left unopened, most are gathering dust in the cellars of millionaire wine lovers and collectors around the world. That's why we were so delighted to have discovered this small parcel of rare, top quality 2000 vintage Medoc in even rarer magnums. ''It is impossible to think of any vintage since 1990 that has produced so many delicious wines'' Jancis Robinson MW ''In 2000 there were fabulous Merlots and profound Cabernets ... in short it is a phenomenal year'' Robert Parker Roche Gaillan 2000 skilfully combines 70% Cabernet with 30% Merlot from Bordeaux's 'left bank' - home to such prestigious estates as Chateau Lafite-Rothschild and Chateau Latour. The large format bottle (1.5 litres) has ensured the wine's graceful evolution to its current state of perfect maturity. Brick red with an amber rim. Evolved and complex aromas of blackcurrants, damson plums, liquorice root and mocha. Medium-bodied with fully ripe black fruit and supple tannins. Serve with roast red meats, feathered game or fine English cheeses.

Le Grand Chai Medoc 2005 - £9.29
Price on from Laithwaites.
Laithwaites are proud to have finally realised a long-held ambition by renting a beautiful old 'Chai' on the quayside at Castillon in Bordeaux. It allows us to cherry-pick individual vats of the finest liquids ... then age them to add complexity .. and still be able to offer them to you at remarkably low prices! The space offered us by 'Le Chai au Quai' (pronounced 'Shay OK') meant we could race this fantastic Medoc, from the glorious 2005 vintage, into fine new oak and tuck it away just for Laithwaites customers. But there's not much to go round - just 80 barrels - so snap it up quickly! ''Complex with blackcurrant, plum and cassis fruit flavours and a firm, smoky oak structure. Ready for release in mid-July. To 2013.''

Chateau Fontaine de l'Aubier 2005 - £9.29
Price on from Laithwaites.
Delicious barrel-matured claret from the spectacular 2005 - ''the best vintage in 10, 50 even 100 years'' (Decanter). Made from a blend that's rich in Cabernet, no expense has been spared during the production of this fine claret. Premium grapes were hand-harvested from the oldest plots in the Medoc estate to retain maximum fruit flavour. The wine is then lovingly aged in the finest oak-barrels in the cool cellars of the property's ancient estate. Rich and opulent, this sumptuous red is brimming with intense raspberry and dark chocolate aromas. Drinking wonderfully now, it would mellow further with extra cellaring.

Price on from Laithwaites.
Nestled in the heart of Bordeaux's Haut-Medoc, Chateau La Tour Carnet is a fantastically historic estate that comes equipped with its own medieval castle and moat! Skilled winemaker Bernard Magrez owns the property and in recent years has dramatically improved wine-quality - ''One can't say enough about the fabulous job proprietor Bernard Magrez has done'' (Robert Parker). One of the secrets to Bernard's success is his shrewd decision to have renowned oenologist Michel Rolland at the helm of the wine's production. With Michel's help, Bernard is able to produce sublime, top-shelf claret that punches well above its price tag. ''A blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it reveals an inky/purple color as well as a powerful nose of scorched earth, acacia flowers, blueberries, and black currants. Displaying an old style concentration with modern-styled tannins, it possesses fabulous richness, a full-bodied, powerful mouthfeel, terrific precision, and a wonderful sweetness to the fruit as well as tannin.'' Robert Parker
