Robert Parker Jr. gives kudos to the committed chateaux owners who managed to make great wines in 2007 against the odds – “…by doing extensive work in the vineyard, and taking advantage of the (vintage saving) Indian summer, (they) have produced endearingly fruity, soft, silky textured clarets that are filled with charm and purity.”

A Bordeaux Futures program is a great way to buy top-quality Bordeaux wines before they are released in the retail market. There is such worldwide demand for key wines from Bordeaux that producers sell a portion of their wine as Futures, that is 12 to 18 months before bottling, while the wines are still ageing in barrel.

Bordeaux Futures offer significant savings. Most of the wines are later retailed at substantially higher prices. Futures offerings include everything from up-and-coming chateaux to illustrious producers such as Latour, Margaux, Haut Brion, Lafite Rothschild and Mouton Rothschild.

Many of these wines are produced in very small quantities and are often only available as Futures. Given the growing demand for top-quality Bordeaux wines, especially in Eastern Europe, South Asia and East Asia, buying Futures is the best way to secure these wines.
