It's true; we love Bordeaux at Perfect Cellar. We recognize that there are more than just the big Châteaux out there, and we work our best to give these smaller Châteaux (either in size or marketing power, or both) a place in the UK Market. Guess what? It works. Across all sales channels, people love discovering our Bordeaux selections. They come in all sorts: organic options, affordable ones (£12!), finer selections like Château les Ormes, or just traditional, good ol' Claret. You name it, we have it. But for now, it's showtime for Château les Ormes. Watch, like, subscribe to the YouTube channel, and comment below.

BORDEAUX SECOND LABELS REPRESENT VALUE For centuries. Famous Bordeaux estates made their premier cru, and sold it at the highest price they can. Bordeaux are always blends, and the premier cru are the best barrel’s blends, the remaining lots are still very fine wines, and in many cases they are sold as second labels under a different name. Some chateaux make even third labels. Chateau Margaux, a classified premier grand cru, uses 33 percent of the crop for its prestige blend, another 33 precedent goes into the second label, and third portion into the third blend. Some second labels cost a fraction of the prestige bottle, and most wine enthusiasts wait eagerly for them to appear in wine shops. Here are some second labels you can try, when they are available. Chateau Lafite Rothschild second label Caruades de Lafite Chateau Latour Les Forts de Latour Chatau Margaux Pavillon Rouge Chateau Mouton Rothschild Le Petit Mouton Chateau Brane Cantenac Le Baron de Brane There are many other classified Bordeaux chateaux that produce second labels The L C B O occasionally offers second labels.

BEYOND BORDEAUX, the fourth episode of Inside La Place de Bordeaux by ARENI Global, discusses a pivotal moment in the history of La Place: the exact moment when the fine wine market became a truly international fine wine market. Twenty years ago, wines from countries like Chile, Argentina and Australia accounted for less than one half of one percent of the global fine wine trade altogether — despite the presence of Almaviva and Opus One on La Place. But all that changed in 2010, towards the end of the global financial crisis. The rise of less expensive airfares due to cheap oil prices, and more affordable accommodation options like Airbnb led to the rise of gastrotourism with its focus on visiting the best restaurants in the world. At the same time, both executives and tourists alike started visiting premium wineries directly – and they wanted to experience these wines again once they got back home. By 2016, approximately 30 million bottles of foreign wines were being consumed in France, a figure that wouldn’t have seemed possible just ten years earlier, when “fine wine” in France was limited to Bordeaux and Burgundy and occasionally Champagne. A greater need for global distribution became clear – and La Place de Bordeaux was in the perfect position to respond to this need. #BeyondBordeaux #Bordeaux #LaPlace #ARENI Enjoy the fourth episode of this acclaimed series featuring Pauline Vicard, co-founder and executive director of ARENI Global, and editorial director Felicity Carter by listening here: https://lnkd.in/eRupckG8

September is on its way, and once again we are going to see more than 100 releases from some of the wine world’s most exciting names coming out through the Place de Bordeaux. It’s now three years since I released the first ever overview of all of these wines, breaking down what you need to know and picking out the must buys. This year’s report is coming out on Thursday August 31, but I can already tell you that some of the most exciting wines are coming from Spain. Both old and new, these are projects that you should get behind - whether the brilliant Yjar and Vinedos de Matallana from Telmo Rodriguez and Pablo Eguzkiza, the stunning De la Riva from Ramiro Ibáñez and Willy Perez, or Dolio from Fernando Gonzalez Riveiro in Ribera Sacra. These are wines that make you want to dive in and learn more. Let’s hope the system can work as a loudspeaker for what is happening in Spain, and just how much talent is out there in the winemaking community. #septemberreleases #dolio #yjar #spain #spanishwine #matallana #delariva #rioja #riberodelduero #galicia #winecritic #beyondbordeaux #subscribercontent #newreport
