Let’s celebrate 50: 4 archival wines from Bordeaux + a gift for the celebrant

There are years and wines that are unforgettable. Therefore, celebrate a 50th anniversary or birthday with a truly personal gift: give the celebrant a gift set of wines from Bordeaux whose ages add up to 50 years.

Our sommelier Jan Pánek has personally selected a set of 4 dry red wines from the Château Saint-Hilaire winery in Bordeaux. The celebrant will experience a “vertical tasting“, in which they enjoy 4 excellent vintage wines from 2006, 2008, 2011 and 2013. They will recognize with their own taste buds how a good red wine transforms through the influence of weather, and how it matures with each year.

And the cherry on the cake? These archival red cuvées matured for 12 months in barrique casks. That’s why they’ll amaze you with their full, rich taste. Look forward to the elegant taste of fruit, a crimson color, and the scents of mint and wood.

Please accept an opener as our gift to you. We selected our favorite one, verified by dozens of corks.

What can you expect in this wine gift set?

2006 Médoc Château Saint-Hilaire red cuvée

This dry red cuvée from 2006 is one of those wines that make you just want to pour yourself a glass, slice a piece of cheese, and enjoy the present moment. It’s light, delicate, and gets along fabulously with cheeses. It’s made from a combination of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which the winemakers processed separately. They only became acquainted together in barrique casks, which imprinted rich tones in the wine.

2008 Médoc Château Saint-Hilaire red cuvée

A dry red wine that proved to be excellent due to the favorable weather conditions in 2008. Thanks to ample warmth and sunshine the grapes received, this cuvée will fascinate you with its lightness and balance.

It combines Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in a ratio that perfectly represents the exceptional terroir of the Médoc wine region. Look forward to fruity tones and a surprisingly light taste.

2011 Médoc Château Saint-Hilaire red cuvée

A dry red wine that won several awards at prestigious wine competitions. It will impress you with its deep carmine color and strong aroma with tones of mint and wood. Your taste buds will be pleased by its full, long finish with a harmony between nuances and freshness.

The 2011 cuvée comgines Cabernet Sauvignon (50 %), Merlot (45 %) and Cabernet Franc (5 %).

2013 Médoc Château Saint-Hilaire red cuvée

Cabernet Sauvignon (56 %) and Merlot (44 %) are blended to create an exceptional dry red wine. Its taste is complex and perfectly balanced, with a looong finish. The winemakers’ painstaking processing is reflected in it: they treated both varieties separately and only brought them together in barrique casks. The wine aged in them for 12 months.
