Description
Almost every year this fine Bordeaux red wins Gold and acclaim – and 2022 was a 5-star vintage. It has quite a history with us too.
Vieux Château Guibeau was the first property Tony Laithwaite ever bought from, so it has a special place in his heart. The wine was the 1966, purchased from the estate’s founder, Henri Bourlon, and we’ve bought over 50 vintages since.
In those early days, Henri (well ahead of his time) was the first to show Tony that a wine’s quality was as much to do with the passion and skill of the winemaker as the quality of the soil. Tony has remained great friends with the family and today buys wine from Henri’s granddaughter Brigitte.
Old vines, meticulous winemaking, this age-worthy red makes a fine partner to beef.
Decant a few hours in advance or cellar.
