A journey to Bordeaux: 4 archival red Médoc wines (2008, 2018, 2019, 2021)

Join us on a journey to Bordeaux. Specifically, to the sun-drenched, forested, and vineyard-rich region of Médoc. But we won’t only be strolling through the countryside, we’ll also take you on a tour through time.

You’ll become acquainted with 4 exceptional vintages of dry red Médoc wine, which were personally selected by our sommelier Jan Pánek. Médoc is an elegant, full wine that smells of currants and red fruit, and its flavor lingers long on the tongue. With him as your guide you’ll recognize yourselves how the full wines from Bordeaux transform over 10 years.

All 4 vintages are produced at the sustainable winery Château Saint-Hilaire. The local winemakers pick their grapes by hand, macerate them for 3 weeks, and then let them mature for 12 months in oak barrels. This is naturally part of the reason why they collect awards at prestigious competitions.

Set out on a journey from the youngest, light 2021 vintage to the rich archival Médoc 2008. We’ll guide you.

What can you expect in this wine gift set?

Château Saint Hilaire Médoc 2008: Archival dry red wine

Médoc 2008 was created after a wonderfully sunny year. That’s why this dry red wine is light, but at the same time has a full and complex flavor. It will enchant you with its aroma of currants and red fruit, and its delicate tannins that linger for a long time on the tongue.

Its elegant taste earned this wine the silver medal at the largest French competition The Challenge International du Vin.

Transport yourself to Bordeaux for a while. You’re standing in a sun-drenched vineyard, holding a glass of ruby-red wine, and you’re relishing its aroma. Can you smell it? Those scents are plums, black fruit, and Cassis – an unmistakable liqueur made from black currants.

Taste it. The first drops reveal a rounded taste and silky tannins. It lingers for a loooong time on the tongue.

This is the archival red Médoc 2018. It was made by combining 55 % Cabernet Sauvignon grapes with 45 % Merlot. This harmonious combination was awarded a silver medal in the largest French competition, The Challenge International du Vin.

The first crimson drop rolls down into the glass and you already know you’re pouring an exceptional wine. Just smell it! You’ll definitely catch the scents of black fruits, currants, and plums. A round, rich taste will start dancing on your tongue. And its silky tannins will remain in your mouth for a long time.

This is the taste of a wine that was created between the Atlantic and the deep French forests. The winemakers from the Château Saint-Hilaire winery hand-pick their grapes and continuously taste them. They leave them to macerate for 3 weeks and then the wine matures for 12 months in oak barrels.

Finally, they blend a balanced ratio of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. These varieties lend the wine the harmonious taste that’s typical for Bordeaux and Médoc.
