Wine Society Claret Bordeaux 2015

30/9/2016

Comments

 
Some honest musings on the Wine Society Claret. My thanks to Will for the wonderful opportunity to be a member of the Wine Society. It's amazing. He is currently (Sept 2016) kayaking from Grenada to Miami with George. Please donate to the Get Exploring Trust here. The charity details can be found here. Great stuff guys. 
Wine Society Claret Bordeaux 2015
Society Notes:

Maison Sichel first set up an acquisitions office in Bordeaux in 1883, and since then six generations of the Sichel family have built upon their empire. Not only do they sell wine today, but they are also growers and winemakers, and represent some very well-respected names. They currently own wine estates covering 350 hectares of vineyards, including Châteaux Angludet and Palmer in Bordeaux, and Château Trillol in Corbières.

Their technical director is Yvan Meyer, and he is the winemaker behind The Society’s Claret, which is currently our bestselling red wine. It is made at Cave Bel Air in the Premières Côtes de Bordeaux region, and the grapes are sourced from local producers. Every year our Bordeaux buyer, Tim Sykes, travels to Maison Sichel to select the final blend.
​

The blend varies greatly each year, but in each vintage our aim remains the same: to create a fresh, easy-drinking and accessible wine with true Bordeaux character, but without the firmer tannins of other clarets that may need more time in the cellar. It is perhaps for this reason that The Society’s Claret is always a huge hit with our members. 

What we say:

The first time I had this was the night Hamish was heading off to university for his second year. It was a great evening and we had some steak for supper. The wine was really great and incredibly drinkable. Will definitely buy again.
