Since the early sixties fine wines including Bordeaux, Burgundy
and Vintage Port have proved over the medium to long term to be
an excellent investment. As with any investment there is some risk
attached, but provided the wine merchant has a good reputation and
indeed experience of wine as an investment then the return can be rewarding.

In addition to the traditional list of investment wines -
Claret, Burgundy, Port, I would suggest some Rhone wines, German Desert wines,
and for the short to medium term, Vintage Champagne.

There are other special wines from around the world which are also worth considering,
such as Langtry Meritage from California , Casa Real from the Santa Rita estate, Chile
and the sought after Jim Barry 'Armagh' Shiraz, Australia.

Champagne Gardet :

Cuvee Charles Gardet 1999 Vintage is from 'Premier and Grand Cru' vineyards on the 
Montagne de REIMS and in the Cote des Blancs where the soil is chalky. The Cuvee is
67% Chardonnay and 33% Pinot Noir. Gardet chose the very best cuvees from this exceptional
year. This rigorous selection means that the quantity is limited. The final marriage of the wines
was very lightly filtered to preserve the character of the wine and was bottled in July 1998. 
Traditionally Gardet Vintages keep and develop over very long periods and the 1997 will prove
to be no exception, giving great pleasure well into the 21st century.
