Bordeaux First Growths by the Case

Early in my wine career, I had my first chance to taste Bordeaux First Growths—1988 Lafite and Latour—just coming into their early drinking window. I was hooked. How I wish I had stocked up at the prices of the early 2000s. Alas, some lessons in wine are expensive ones. 

First Growths remain the gold standard: stalwarts with a proven track record and the anchor of any serious cellar. They are the foundation of the kinds of collections we are most privileged to help our private clients build. 

These are classic, iconic wines to build a collection around. They occupy a category unto themselves—centuries of pedigree, a global collector base, and a track record of appreciating in both complexity and value over time. In the finest vintages, they are as close to immortal as wine gets, particularly in years like 2009, 2010, 2016, 2019, and 2022. 

Whether you are anchoring a cellar, adding a specific château to an existing collection, or acquiring a complete set across all five in a landmark year, the K&L Private Client team is here to advise and assist.
