The wines will probably be more highly rated than the 2005! The prices may well be the same or in some cases higher. I expect the campaign for the better known wines to start quite late (perhaps end April/early May and go on until quite late with the first growths perhaps released end June/Early July!)  This will allow time for smaller Estates to release between now and End of April. But who knows it is different every year.

 

Open up your Piggy Bank!

 

Reposnsible until recently for one of the world's greatest red wines Chateau Petrus Pomerol "The wines are so good, so soft, so charming, so beautiful. I have not drunk new wine like that since 1982"

 

Jane Mac Quitty  " A blockbuster!"

 

James Suckling The Wine Spectator "Some extraordinary wines!"

 

Jancis Robinson Purple Pages "I have never given so many really high scores when tasting en primeur anywhere."
