Château Pierre de Montignac, Médoc, Cru Bourgeois, 2016
A Cru Bourgeois from a top red Bordeaux vintage usually offers excellent value - and this long term favourite at SVS delivers in spades. Deep hue; overt aromas of toasty oak; ripe and robust black fruit with mocha, and excellent concentration, tannic spine and ripeness - and all with a traditionally moderate 13% alcohol. The blend is usually around 45-50% of each of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, plus about 5% Petit Verdot. Now-2024
The estate, with 25 hectares of vines, is owned and run by the Salette family - and has recently been accorded the rank of Cru Bourgeois Supérieur.
Always friendly and helpful-much better than supermarket wines for not much more! The doorstep dozen is brilliant!Read More
I have used Stone, Vine & Sun for a number of years now and have found their advice in seeking wines to my taste most helpful. They have often found some small vineyards that need assistance and have provided excellent wines. I will always look to support my local services where possible, for if we do not they will cease to exist leaving faceless conglomerates. They are always a happy organisation to interact with and their local delivery service works very well.Read More
Great service and fantastic products. We have never had a bad bottle with any of our orders, and I can guarantee your friends will not have the same producers/vintages available at Stone, Vine, & Sun.Read More
As always SVS delivered my recent order next working day with no errors. My only problem with them as a wine merchant is that they regularly send me more mouth watering offers than my budget or my cellar can cope with. My kind of merchant. So many great finds, many from less fashionable (read expensive) regions, but always carefully selected, good value and good of their kind.Read More
Many classic wines plus lots examples from independents practicing natural methods including a good selection from South Africa. The price spectrum includes many delicious wines under £10. An informative website makes ordering simple with rapid delivery. This year I confidently dipped my toe into en Primeur from Burgundy based on advice. They have won many awards and I expect SVS to win many more. Brian from Kent.Read More
This is my all time favourite wine merchant. Innovative in approach, with a wonderful selection of new and old world wines. By far the best delivery service too, even in these straitened times!Read More
