Which wines from Bordeaux to collect in your cellar
Below are a number of great wines from reputable Bordeaux vineyards to consider collecting. If you want a well-rounded collection it would be wise to collect Bordeaux from several of it's regions and to have a broad spectrum of choices.
Left Bank wines from the Medoc:
-Any of the five first Growth wines are valuable assets for a wine cellar if you can afford them
(Chateau Latour, Chateau Lafite-Rothschild, Chateau Margaux, Chateau Mouton Rothschild, Chateau Haut-Brion)
-The second growth wines are also worth collecting and are almost as prized in good vintages as the first growths. For example, Robert Parker Jr. has awarded La Mission Haut-Brion a 100 point score 7 times since the 1950's.
-Other classified growths can also be worth the investment, however I would search for those with great scores from the press and in quality vintages.
Right Bank wines from Saint-Emilion and Pomerol
-Saint-Emilion - Chateau Pavie, Chateau Angelus, Chateau Cheval Blanc, Chateau Ausone, Chateau Figeac
-Pomerol - Chateau Petrus, Chateau Le pin, Chateau Latour a Pomerol, Chateau Vieux Certan, Chateau Gazin, Chateau Le Bon Pasteur, Chateau Certan de May, Chateau L'Eglise Clinet, Chateau Clinet, Chateau Lafleur.
Dessert wines from Sauternes
-Chateau d'Yquem
-Chateau Rieussec
In closing, if you are interested in building a wine cellar for a future generation or to enjoy amazing aged wines further down the line, buying from the best Bordeaux vineyards is a must. Purchasing Bordeaux from various regions and having a well rounded selection can help create a great portfolio of wines. These wines listed have a proven track record of sound ageability and increased value over time.
