When in search of a classic bargain Claret—the kind the local Bordelais drink along with a hunk of baguette and a bit of foie gras—we always look to the Côtes de Bordeaux. Within arm’s reach of Pomerol and Saint-Émilion, the region’s Merlot-dominant reds possess a silkiness and lushness much like their high-profile neighbors but without…
As one of the original Right Bank garagistes, Jean-Luc Thunevin will always be somewhat of an outsider. But by now, collectors have learned that his flagship Château Valandraud is 100% at home with the absolute cream of Bordeaux. Look no further than Thunevin’s 2015 Valandraud, a gorgeous and towering St.-Émilion Premier Grand Cru that Jeb…
Bordeaux’s Best-Kept Secret is Out Today, the Côtes de Bordeaux is a hotbed of discovery, with smaller, lesser-known estates that have been toiled over by true Bordelais families for centuries. It’s our personal favorite source for finding great everyday Bordeaux reds. It’s where we found this 2015 Clos Sainte Anne Premières Côtes de Bordeaux, the…
Wine Access members need no introduction to Coho. The overachieving reds from owner Gary Lipp and 100-point winemaker Phil Titus (of Chappellet fame) have sold out nearly every vintage five years running, and racked up some of the highest member ratings in the extraordinarily competitive “bold red” category. The stats aren’t lost on Lipp, which…
Exceptional Price—Duckhorn Magnums Collector’s alert: The #1 Napa Valley Merlot in is here in magnum! Since the early 1980s, Duckhorn’s Merlots have ranked among Napa Valley’s most iconic reds, standing shoulder to shoulder with Silver Oak and Opus One. In Napa’s 2015 vintage, which Wine Spectator rated “outstanding,” Duckhorn produced possibly its most powerful Merlot…
Client Favorite La Storia’s Powerhouse Block 500 If you’re a lover of classic angular and structured Merlots from Bordeaux’s cool Right Bank — it’s time to get acquainted with Miro Tcholakov’s 2015 La Storia Merlot Block 500. It’s a lush, full-throttle Merlot whose gorgeous plum and vanilla notes and soft edges make it an unapologetic…
The rich and exuberant 2016 Château Bernateau Saint-Émilion Grand Cru comes from exceptional terroir. But what really sets it apart is the meticulous farming and quality-obsessed winemaking involved in making it—much of the same attention and care that goes into $300 bottles from the Right Bank. Add this wine’s powerful structure and sophistication, plus a…
The 92-point 2016 Château Bourdieu No. 1 is the wine you want stacked high in your cellar when the air turns a little chilly, and well into springtime steak season. It’s lush and generous, with a red- and black-fruited nose accented with violets, lilacs, tobacco, and pencil shavings. The mouthfeel is bold, with plenty of…
We can’t remember the last time we came across an under-$20 Bordeaux with this much pedigree. Where to begin? The 2016 Château Chapelle d’Aliénor Bordeaux Supérieur is produced by the Malet Roqueforts, a noble family that has been producing wine in the region since 1705. And while their Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé Château La…
One glass was all it took to convince us that the 2016 Château de Parenchère is a superb Bordeaux performing way above its price grade, and a value we’d be crazy to walk away from. Vibrant crimson-ruby in hue, it filled our glasses with a ripe bouquet of black plum, blackberry, and damp earth, suffused…
London’s Noble Rot, red wine list winner at the 2019 World Restaurant Awards, has an enviable cellar, as deep as it is selective. When we stepped into the restaurant last summer for a St.-Émilion dinner, we knew there would be fireworks. What we didn’t know was that the jewel of the evening wouldn’t be from…
The experience of a great Right Bank Bordeaux can come for way less than the $50 you might expect—if you know where to look. Château Haut La Grenière’s Lussac-Saint-Émilion shows why Robert Parker once wrote: “As with the other satellite appellations in Saint-Émilion, Lussac is a veritable treasure trove for bargains.” With the same varietal…
One sip of the 2016 Château L’Évangile Pomerol, and we knew it was an instant classic that would stand alongside the château’s legendary 1982, 1989, 2005, and 2009 vintages. A quick glance at James Suckling’s assessment shows that, for collectors looking for a perfection-pushing Right Bank benchmark, there’s no savvier choice for the cellar than…
It’s easy to see why Château La Fleur de Boüard invites comparisons to the legendary Château Angélus. They’re both helmed by the same visionary, Hubert de Boüard. They’re both Right Bank Bordeaux powerhouses, with ample fruit and age-worthy structure. They’re both definitive wines for their appellations. Here’s the difference: A bottle of Angélus, a Grand…
We knew that dinner at Lard et Bouchon in St.-Émilion was going to be stellar. The name, after all, loosely translates to “bacon and cork,” two of our favorite things. But we didn’t know we’d be discovering our next favorite thing, the silken, aromatic 2016 Château Lafont-Fourcat À Nos Amours Bordeaux. We were so impressed…
Larcis Ducasse is one of the slam-dunk Right Bank deals of the spectacular 2016 Bordeaux vintage. The full-bodied and concentrated expression of prime terroir beguiles from the very first taste, and earned 99 points from James Suckling, who named it his #7 wine of 2019, calling it “spellbinding” and “archetypal 2016 Bordeaux.” You don’t need…
This standout 2016 proves that Blaye is a need-to-know appellation for savvy Bordeaux lovers. A rich, silky, Merlot-driven wine from one of the best vintages in the last decade, we were blown away when we tasted it. You might as well call Jean-François Reaud, the dynamic proprietor of Château Les Aubiers, “Mr. Blaye.” The great-great-grandson…
An instant sellout last vintage, the 2016 Château Marsau is just as gripping as its predecessor, and has garnered even more critical acclaim. One glass and you’ll understand why Robert Parker mused about Marsau being “the Petrus of the Côtes de Francs.” We first tasted Marsau at a breezy outdoor two-top in downtown Bordeaux, where our…
Put together a short list of Jeb Dunnuck’s top-scoring Saint Émilion Grand Crus from any given year and you know it’s going to be heavy on the icons. But in 2016, the winemaking iconoclast behind cult wine Le Dôme crashed the party with a little-known, tiny-production wine—one that costs a fraction of the luminaries on…
Very famously, Miles Davis once bristled at being called a legend. “A legend’s an old man with a cane known for what he used to do,” was his tart reply. “I’m still doing it.” That could be Duckhorn’s mantra. Since the early 1980s, Duckhorn’s Merlots have ranked among Napa Valley’s most iconic reds, standing shoulder…
