Dear All,

i was thinking about starting the claret VCP next year or the french classics and i know it is around this time of year that people receive their allocated wines. I was just wondering if anyone has found out already and what they were allocated?

Thanks

Interesting the Châteauneuf was sold to me at £270 for 6. On the EP list last year it was £185 for 6. Don’t know if this represents the best value way to buy it, but part of the reason I do VCP is I get wines I wouldn’t have bought myself.

@georgeparkinson21 This was the final wine allocated to me in my VCP this month

Hope this helps with your decision!

I’m excited. I’ve never had a Vosne-Romanee before. And still probably won’t for a few years, as i intend to leave it toward the middle/end of it’s drinking window.

Well done wine soc!

It is comforting to know i’m rolling with the people who know what they’re talking about.

Looks like everyone has been allocated great wines. Very jealous of the 2010 La Lagune!

I defo will consider signing up for next year. Im currently procrastinating away from my dissertation by buying 2015 Bordeaux Remaining stock.

Along with the Dutruch Grand Poujeaux 2015 i bought last week ive just ordered a case of Grand Corbin Despagne, Saint Emilion (GCC) too!

Great wines! im a huge right bank fan, the La Serre should be lovely given time!

Lagune 10 is still relatively available (bbr etc). It’s a great wine & I wish the society had bought more of it & sell it outright rather than use it to lure members into ‘mixed case’ games, that’s my distoretd view on this.
