About this Item

Lady May, 2014
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

Owner of famous Bordeaux Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, May de Lencquesaing, decided in 2003 to make her life-long dream a reality and she purchased an estate in Stellenbosch. Continuing with the French tradition in the area, major re-investment took place with the objective to produce award-winning wines that are full of power, grace and elegance. Much work has gone into the vineyards, cellar and winemaking but, more notably, their old-world patience has contributed to the wines. The winery is environmentally friendly and the vineyards are managed with minimal intervention and sustainable techniques.

In collaboration with cellarmaster, Luke O’Cuinneagain, this is their flagship single-vineyard blend. Sourced from a cool east facing slope, ‘it’s elegant, distinguished and venerable like its owner’.

Critics Ratings

‘Lavish 2014, like 2013 (4.5 stars, 94 points), Cabernet-based with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot to create complex, cellar-worthy flagship. Bold yet lively, cassis and mulberry combine well with graphite, cedar and spices on firm but refined tannins.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2020, 5* (95/100)

‘The 2014 release has less Cabernet Sauvignon and more Cabernet Franc than the 2013 and is better for it in my opinion. It's another wine that lives up to the Bordeaux pedigree of its owner, May-Eliane de Lencquesaing, with violets and graphite on the nose, notes of chocolate and mint, fine tannins and a long, refreshing finish. 2021-29.’ - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 96/100
