En Primeur
Wine Cellar is the only cellar in South Africa to buy wine En Primeur which includes the Cheval Blanc for these tastings currently priced at R13 000 per bottle.
Over the last five successive years, Wine Cellar has been the only successive importer in South Africa to secure Bordeaux through the En Primeur campaigns and in that way securing the highly demanded wines at the lowest possible prices for South African fine wine collectors and clients.
Additional information around the tasting:
Hosted by Wine Spectator-heralded winemaker Bruwer Raats and Master of Wine student and general manager of Wine Cellar, Roland Peens, these tastings would like to look at amongst others, how a top-flight South African wine matches up to a fine Bordeaux, whether Cabernet Franc is a varietal best blended as part of a Bordeaux or on its own and whether or not the prices of Bordeaux are justified for knowledgable consumers with the 2005 Cheval Blanc (to be experienced at these tastings) fetching a staggering R13000 per bottle.
