Chateau Les Jonqueyres
2009
Blaye Cotes De Bordeaux

Had this amazing bottle of red while over in Paris last week. Thankfully i took a photo of the bottle so remember the name

Found it here :
http://www.decanter.com/wine/finder/Chateau-les-Jo...

but dont know how reliable that site is, plus it links through to a French site.

That is using www.wine-searcher.com if you look at the bottom which is very reliable.

I have a Wine Searcher "pro" account (wider search)and have done a search ....shows more stockists in Germany

http://www.weinunion.de/Corbieres-Les-Jonquieres--...

Nobody in the UK.......

No reference to it on Berry Bros or The Wine Society either.

Probably quite a few similar wines from the same region so just buy a few and have fun samoling them.

Are you sure about your search? Reference to Corbieres and all that...

This search suggests you can buy in France, but whether shop will ship to UK would need exploring: http://www.wine-searcher.com/find/les+jonqueyres+p...

Why not drop into a decent independent wine merchant and tell them you think you like Bordeaux and see what they can suggest?

I would have thought it was still a very young wine and therefore not really being traded yet?
2009 was one of the best years for a long time, and great laying down wine

It's not a "classed growth" so most unlikely to ever be traded.

From the Decanter review it sounds like a reasonable wine but, at that price point, it isn't going to be one to keep for investment purposes. May improve with a little storage.

Yep it's a glugger. There will be plenty of similar wines you will enjoy. Just need to go out and try some.
