Why You should buy this?
-
- Critics highly rate this LBV : Holds a 91/100 average critic score on Wine-Searcher. James Suckling: Regularly awards Churchill’s LBV 93 Points, praising its “ripe blackberries… plenty of sweetness and softness,” and noting its excellent structure for an unfiltered wine.
- The “Unfiltered” Difference : This is the biggest selling point for wine enthusiasts. Many modern LBVs are heavily filtered and cold-stabilized so they don’t leave sediment in the bottle. While convenient, filtration strips away a ton of body, flavor, and soul.Churchill’s bottles this unfiltered after aging for four years in large oak vats.
- Ready Now, But Can Wait : It is drinking beautifully right now in 2026, but because of its firm tannic backbone, it can easily evolve and improve in your cellar for another 5 to 10 years.
