Saint-Estèphe 2011

Declassification: music to any wine-lovers ears. Too many grapes? Perhaps you’ve reached your allowed production limit? Maybe the grapes are from slightly younger vines? What to do with the excess wine? Declassify it. Simply put, you make the wine anyway but label it in a different way. In the case of this wine, the producer doesn’t put the name of the prestigious Château on it but merely labels it with the region it comes from. The catch? We’re not allowed to tell you what it really is, other than a bargain for £22.50. This will sell quickly. £22.50 | only 120 bottles available
