This exclusive original wooden case contains 1 bottle from each of the 14 châteaux holding the status of Crus Bourgeois Exceptionnels, all from the 2019 vintage.
Expert's Description
Crus Bourgeois Collection 14 Exceptionnel Medoc is a collection of Red Wine from Medoc, Bordeaux, France, made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec from the 2019 vintage. The case contains 14 bottles of 75 cl - one from each of the châteaux carrying the prestigious designation Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel, the highest tier of the Medoc's Cru Bourgeois classification. Careful growing, winemaking and ageing before release run through all the wines, all of which taste excellent already and will develop further complexity over the next 3-5 years - depending on the individual château, somewhat or considerably longer.
