The Bordeaux wine industry is a diverse and competitive market so we have worked hard to narrow down the offerings to a selection of hand-picked estates that compliment rather than compete achieving a range of eclectic, affordable, good quality wines from a variety of appellations. A little shake up of our Bordeaux range for 2019 sees the addition of two stunning reds from regions we are fans of: Saint-Emilion and Haut Medoc. They sit alongside a handful of small estates whose wines we have enjoyed for a number of years now.  For information on each individual château you can visit their websites. Where the wineries don't have their own weblink you can read about their wines on the following pages or talk to one of our knowledgeable team. 

Maison Léda

Graves & Côtes de Blaye

This second generation family business is in the hands of brothers Arnaud & Denis Lesgourgues. They combine tradition and innovation to create a stylish range including Château Haut Selve and Château Le Bonnat in the  Graves and Château Loumelat from the heart of the Côtes de Blaye.

Environmental Initiatives

Having considered the possibility of certifying their estates as organic they have since achieved HVE level 3 (a French government initiative linked to the INAO), the highest standard which has been featured on the labels since the 2018 vintage. Maison Léda are also members of Terra Vitis.

Château Malescasse

Haut-Médoc

Built in 1824 this historic Château sits in a direct line with Margaux to the south and Saint-Julien to the north.
The second wine of this domaine, Le Moulin Rose, pays homage to the iconic Malescasse windmill, which was renovated in 2018. The blend comes from plots close to the windmill, and its balance and elegance give it a distinctively Médoc style that is immediately accessible. Château Malescasse was upgraded from Cru Bourgeois to Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel for the 2018 vintage onwards.
