The thrill of the chase never subsides: Even at the end of a long day, just when we want to pack it in, a stunning find will shake us awake. We were at Celliers des Chartreux, just outside Avignon, on a sweltering September afternoon. We’d tasted through more than a dozen wines, and all our…
We’re thrilled to have locked in a TINY allocation of one of the new blockbuster must-haves from Napa Valley. From vintners Javier and Jero Cervantes, multi-100-point winemaker Andy Erickson (of Screaming Eagle, Arietta, and Staglin, among others), and a rugged vineyard that The Wine Advocate called “a game changer for the region,” Cervantes Blacktail has…
Decanter did not mince words in its praise for Champagne’s 2018 season: “The 2018 vintage is truly exceptional for Champagne. Special mention goes to the Pinot Noir, which ripened perfectly, but the Chardonnay is also outstanding. Initial results are wines that are dense yet fresh and should be long lasting.” Alfred Tritant’s blend of 60%…
A lot has changed in the 167 years since the Classified Growths of Bordeaux’s Médoc were crowned. Today, those First Growths and other cru classés make up less than 25% of the Left Bank’s vineyards. The other 75% comprises a lot of real estate—not to mention a ton of new investment, new-age viticultural and winemaking…
A few years back, our friend Benoit Touquette—the French-born, Bordeaux-bred winemaker and mastermind consultant who’s kept Screaming Eagle, Ovid, and Realm at the top—poured us a glass of his favorite under-the-radar Bordeaux. It was the Château Bel-Air Cuvée Jean et Gabriel Lussac St-Émilion, and we were stunned—not just by the high quality, but by the…
If you want to stock your cellar with an age-worthy Right Bank superstar from one of the top vintages of the past decade, you can’t do better than the 2018 Château Canon-la-Gaffelière. We’ve been inundated by requests for another vintage of Canon-la-Gaffelière ever since our members dispatched the 2015 in short order—and this 2018 stands…
If you wanted to design a landscape and climate for the express purpose of extracting wild power and savory intensity from the dark depths of Syrah, you’d end up with a piece of land that looks almost exactly like the famed La Livinière cru of France’s Languedoc. Here are raw, cheek-reddening gusts of wind, schist-ridden…
One day last spring, in the middle of what turned out to be a fortuitous drive from Sauternes to Pomerol, we pulled off the D21 for some quick roadside espresso. As we stood at the cafe counter waiting for the coffees, we decided to consult a map to see how close we were to any…
A member-favorite producer and 100-point Southern Rhône benchmark, we’ve worked for years to secure an allocation of Saint Cosme’s standard-bearing crown jewel. It wasn’t easy, but we finally succeeded by landing the 2018, the intense violet Gigondas showstopper that Jeb Dunnuck referred to as “a drop-dead gorgeous wine that readers should snatch up.” Saint Cosme…
A year ago, the excitement about 100-point winemaker Louis Barruol’s Château de Saint Cosme Les Deux Albion Côtes du Rhône led our Wine Team to take home a slew of cases. This year, we’re doubling our orders. “I can’t think of a more dense and concentrated Côtes du Rhône in the $20 tier,” said our…
2018 in Bordeaux is the Napa Cab lover’s vintage par excellence. The hottest, driest summer in half a century yielded the sort of rich, pliant, extravagantly sumptuous wines you’d associate with Oakville, not somber Saint-Estèphe. In other words, thanks to a steady uptick in temperatures, this is not the Bordeaux of yesteryear. Owned since 1964…
Stéphane Derenoncourt has delivered three different Bordeaux estates into Wine Spectator’sTop 10, and his fingerprints are all over the 2018 Château Haut Selve Graves. Raised on a historic terroir by the legendary Derenoncourt, this is everything we want in a bottle of Bordeaux. It’s regal, aromatic, and ageworthy, and it brings to mind our favorite…
Château Hyot helps redefine what’s possible in Bordeaux value. A star from Castillon, a hidden gem of Bordeaux’s Right Bank, this stunning 2018 benefitted from one of the best vintages of the decade, earning rare acclaim for a $15 wine from multiple publications—and our admiration for packing so much quality into the bottle. Rich, silky, and…
Capped with a scorching 99-point review from Vinous, Château la Gaffelière’s magnificently silky 2018 keeps company with the most legendary—and expensive—wines on the Right Bank. Antonio Galloni of Vinous described it as “Magnifique” and “hands down one of the wines of the vintage.” It’s a bombshell mix of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, crafted by star…
Château La Mission Haut Brion’s profound, ageworthy Blanc is one of the most collectible wines in Bordeaux—but even given the lofty standard, the 2018 is special. The warm, dry vintage allowed the estate to use more Sauvignon Blanc than Sémillon in the blend for only the second time ever, and the result is dramatic: a…
For anyone that thought top-tier, collectible Grand Cru Classé Bordeaux was out of reach, let the 2018 Château Lagrange Saint-Julien set you straight. It’s a Left Bank stunner that Jeb Dunnuck lauded as “Serious Stuff,” giving it a 97-point score that put it in some very elite company, including Haut-Brion and Mouton-Rothschild. 2018 was a…
In the world of French wine, it’s hard to believe how much one simple oversight can reverberate for generations. In the 19th century, Château Lanessan was regarded as a Fourth Growth in Bordeaux’s Left Bank, just south of Saint-Julien. Thanks to then-owner Monsieur Dubois’s overconfidence, the wine was never submitted for the 1855 classification that…
Master of Wine Jane Anson has called Château Lascombes “a towering force” in Margaux, and their 2018 has absolutely everything going for it. It was grown in a phenomenal vintage that Wine Advocate places as one of Margaux’s greatest of the last 50 years. Guided to bottle by superstar enologist Michel Rolland and masterful Lafite-Rothschild…
There’s no denying Léoville Poyferré’s 2018. Jeb Dunnuck gave it a perfect score—and then followed that up by making it his wine of the year—the #1 bottle of his 2021 Top 100. This wine sits at the very pinnacle of Bordeaux, offering a rare taste of perfection—for a remarkable price. In the outstanding 2018 vintage,…
Only a few rosés have ever landed on the Wine Spectator Top 100. One of them was Chateau Miraval’s stunning 2012 debut vintage. Partner and winemaker Marc Perrin is world-famous from his work with Château de Beaucastel, but when the Spectator put Marc on the cover in June 2014, top billing in the “Pitt &…
