Fine Saint Julien is “the benchmark for all red Bordeaux” (Hugh Johnson) and L’Épiphanie comes at a price outsiders can only dream of. Fortunately, our Buyer, Jean-Marc, is Bordeaux born and bred and through his contacts we struck this amazing deal.

No claret lover can afford to miss this now or never opportunity. Nestling between Pauillac and Margaux, Saint Julien is the smallest of the top level Médoc communes, yet it has the highest proportion of Cru Classé estates. Five are the world famous Second Growths and it was at one of these that our Buyer Jean-Marc Sauboua signed off one of the greatest claret buying coups of his career. L’Épiphanie 2013 is a rare, hush-hush deal on the château’s last 500 cases of the vintage. This classic, elegant, oak matured Saint Julien reveals in a single sip the allure of fine claret. It has blackberry and cherry fruit, clove and vanilla scented oak, and a freshness making it ideal for fine dining. Open early and partner with roast lamb, duck or beef.
