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 top-quality St Emilion Grand Cru is one for the ages
-
Aficionados of fine French wine, rejoice! This top-quality St Emilion Grand Cru is one for the ages. Made using grapes harvested from select plots on the Roquefort’s historic Château Puyblanquet estate, it’s been matured in French oak for 12 months, and is now ready to grace your dinner table.
-
It’s deep ruby in colour with a lovely crimson sheen. On the nose, you get lots of ripe cassis and dark cherry aromas. The palate is instantly supple - full-bodied, silky-smooth and intense, with incredible fruit flavours and sumptuous spice that’ll simultaneously make you want to sink the glass in one go yet savour it on the taste buds for eternity.
-
Already next-level delicious, this plush Bordeaux will transform over the next few years and develop lots more interesting flavours. So if you have space in your wine rack (and the patience to wait), lay a bottle of this down and prepare to be blown away in a completely new way when you finally crack it open.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Alexandre de Malet Roquefort
-
The latest in a long line of Bordeaux masters from the legendary Malet-Roquefort family, Alexandre is a big cheese in the world of fine French wine. But first and foremost, he’s just a really passionate winemaker. And he can’t wait to share his passion for St Emilion - and its celebrated wines - with you.
-
Not many winemakers have a family history as rich as Alexandre’s. The Malet-Roqueforts have been making some of the most sought-after wines in the world at their historic St Emilion estate since the 18th century, where they’re the oldest established family in the entire region. In fact, their fame dates all the way back to the start of the last millennium, when a great display at the Battle of Hastings won favour, and a fiefdom, from William the Conqueror.
-
Nowadays, Alexandre blends tradition with innovation and a deep respect for the beautiful terroir he’s forever grateful to have inherited. There’s no doubt that his old family vines are up there with some of the very best in the world. And we’re chuffed to bits to share the incredible spoils with UK wine-lovers like you.

This is a lovely smooth drinkable vintage.
Arrived 3 days ago but didn't get round to posting here. My wine rack is pretty full but I wanted to take advantage of the sale, so I decided to splash out on 6 more expensive bottles, that could get a small case over the £100 free delivery threshold. All but one of these I'll be trying for the first time:
Terrafusa Civetta 2019
Demoiselles de Puyblanquet St Emilion Grand Cru 2020
Camille Cayran Chateauneuf du Pape Organic 2021
Olivier Cazenave Pomerol 2021
Simpsons of Servian Sparkling Syrah 2022
Diego Spinoglio Tannat 2021
Denis Crespo's CDP is the only one I've tried a previous vintage of, which was spectacular. Bordeaux wines are hit and miss with me but this seemed an opportunity to try a couple at a more reasonable price. I've only had a couple of Uruguayan wines before, and was impressed by both, so looking forward to trying my first from Naked. The Terrsafusa Civetta sounds so unusual I just had to try it and I've only tried sparkling red once and loved it, so the Simpsons one should be a hit.

Very nice
Not my thing
Ok but not a stand out at this price. I expected more depth of flavour and age.
Exceptional wine
All done!
