'Bordeaux Month' Kick-Off!
Six 2010/2015 Reds $23.99-35.99
Discover the Sweet Spot of Bordeaux!!!
Who says France doesn't have incredible value wines? They absolutely do, you just need to know where to find them! Yes, Bordeaux boasts the world's most collectible, high end wines, but the region also produces gorgeous reds averaging $25-30 that are more complex, balanced and food-friendly than many New World reds in the same price range. Also for the savvy Bordeaux lover who 'remembers when' they were buying classified growths for a song, this sweet spot has an array of wines that are incredibly rich and satisfying. We have chosen six wines from the top vintages of 2010 and 2015 to get this promo started. From the Right Bank, we have Saint Emilion and Pomerol below; from the Left, Margaux and Saint Estephe; as well as a lovely Haut Medoc owned by the Quié family, owners of Crozet-Bages in Pauillac and Rauzan-Gassies in Margaux. Ok folks, let's go and drink some good Bordeaux!!!

RATED 94 JAMES SUCKLING : 'Fantastic aromas of blackberries, flowers, chalk and blueberries. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a flavorful finish. Intense and structured.' 'The 2015 Tour Saint-Christophe is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc matured in 40% new oak. It is endowed with blood orange and citrus fruit lending freshness and tension on the long, sensual finish. Bottle-age will temper the nose and it should ultimately turn into a very impressive Saint Emilion.' WA 92-94 |

| RATED 90 WINE ADVOCATE : 'The 2015 Haut-Beauséjour is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, well balanced and detailed with truffle and cedar-infused black fruit. I consider this to be a well-crafted wine that should offer a decade of pleasure. ' Chateau Haut Beausejour, located not far from Chateau Phelan Segur in St. Estephe, is owned by Jean Claude Rouzaud, the owner of the famed Roederer Champagne house and Chateau Pichon Comtesse de Lalande in Pauillac.
In the 1990's, the family created one large estate by combining Chateaux Picard and Beausejour, thus, Chateau Haut Beausejour was born. They use the same technical winemaking team and philosophy as their sister property, Chateau de Pez. Some of the changes include manual sorting, green harvesting and most importantly, increasing the percentage of Merlot as well as using more new oak for aging. |
