Market Price
To show you the value you're getting as an Angel...
We regularly benchmark a selection of our wines against up to three comparable wines on the market. The Market Price is based on the price of those wines.
What do we mean by benchmark? We taste them blind against our own wines, or we use our market knowledge (over 40 years between us) to set an industry standard Market Price.
If you buy one of our wines and disagree with the Market Price, or it's not your cup of tea, we'll add a credit to your account. For more info, see our FAQS.

About the wine
This deep, dark and fruity red shows brilliant Bordeaux doesn't need to cost the earth
-
Edouard’s soft and supple 2016 Reserve Lafite Monteil is proof that you don’t need to break the bank to enjoy super-delicious Bordeaux.
-
Aged beautifully for years in the bottle, it’s a deep, dark wine with great intensity and a long finish. On the nose, you get fresh fruit aromas like soft cherries and brambles, with hints of sweet spice and earthy cedar and flint characteristics. And the palate follows on well with plenty of dried dark fruit too.
-
This is a classy, classic Bordeaux with bags of complexity, yet it’s so easy-drinking you could serve it up to any of your red wine loving friends and never fail to draw rave reviews. And at just £10.49 Angel price, you’re pretty much getting it for pennies on the franc.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Edouard Le Grix de la Salle
-
We’ve been looking for more classic Bordeaux wines for ages, but finding the right winemaker to make them has been like finding a needle in a haystack, so much of the region is dominated by traditional old estates that just don’t fit the Naked mould. Thankfully a tip-off from our Bordeaux rebel Olivier Cazenave led us to Edouard, a 3rd generation winemaker at his family’s Chateau Le Grand Verdus estate, and as soon as we met him we knew we’d found our needle.
-
His name may sound like something out of a French nobleman’s court, and his family estate is practically a castle, but Edouard is actually a really forward-thinking guy who understands the need to balance the new with the old. He’s passionate about organic farming and working with nature, and has been introducing loads of changes in his vineyards to encourage the local wildlife to flourish among his vines “It’s no longer about fighting nature, it will always win. It’s about working with it.”
-
It’s when you taste top-quality stuff like Edouard’s that you understand why Bordeaux is one of the most famous wine regions in the world. From his access to first-class grapes, to his understanding of the technical side of winemaking, to his ability to create uniquely delicious, classic French wines. If you’re a Bordeaux fanatic, Edouard’s is a name to get really excited about.
