  • The holy grail for us, this is a top Bordeaux from a lesser known producer, delivering all the quality at a fraction of the price!
  • You don't have to go far to find some big (and more expensive) Saint Estephe names. Both Chateau Montrose and Chateau Calon Segur are a stone's throw from Chateau Capbern.
  • Scoring an impressive 91 points by Robert Parker, this fine wine will comfortably cellar until 2033.
  • A typical Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with a touch of two of our favourite varieties, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.

Brief Description

Tasting Notes

Medium-bodied with a backbone of dark and red fruits, finishing sweet, with fine-grained tannins. We recommend opening and decanting an hour or so before serving, when you will be greeted with lovely aromas of cassis, herbs and earthy tobacco leaves.

About

Originally called Chateau Capbern Gasqueton, Chateau Capbern was founded in 1894 by Georges Gasqueton and stayed in the family until the winery was purchased in 2012 by French insurance company Suravenir who also own Chateau Calon Segur. Things quickly turned around with new ownership and in 2014, under the guidance of Laurent Dufau (the newly appointed director at Calon Segur), the estate released its finest wine in its 120 year history.

Bordering Pauillac, Saint Estephe is the northernmost appellation of the 'big four' (Margaux, Pauillac and Saint Julien being the other three) and takes its name from the village of the same name. It's wines are known for their quality, depth and rich flavours as well as their excellent ageing potential.

Ideal with...

Classic meat dishes pair well with this top Saint Estephe. Beef, lamb and all roasts are perfect as is game and most grilled dishes.
