Everything was exactly as delicious as expected—until one of our Italian winemaker friends snuck an unfamiliar bottle into the mix. But…
Whether for long-term cellaring or short-term pleasure, the 95-point 2010 Château d’Issan Margaux is a must-have for lovers of Margaux. Robert Parker called it “gorgeously pure, well-balanced, and soft enough to be approached in 4-5 years or cellared for 25-30.” James Suckling added 96 points, calling it “the most powerful Issan ever with incredible depth…

Bordeaux’s 2015 vintage may soon enter the pantheon of epic and collectible years, but of the last…
Floral bouquet. Notes of ripe fruit, blackcurrants, cedar, and spices. A dense, rich wine with very refined, well-integrated tannins. Excellent length; overall, an elegant, balanced wine. The vineyard cycle began with a cold, relatively wet winter, resulting in a slightly later bud break than in 2009, in mid-April. Growth was then boosted by dry, sunny…
In 2010, Bordeaux experienced one of the best growing seasons of the 21st century. Château Margaux met the moment. Our last trip to Bordeaux earned us access a treasure from Château Margaux: the flawless 2010. As critic James Suckling said in his 100-point review, this is a wine of “spellbinding” aromas. It’s graceful and elegant…
Burgundian Purity in Bordeaux In addition to their grands vins, Bordeaux estates traditionally produce a second wine, available at a more modest price and geared toward earlier drinking.

For truly serious collectors — those who have learned to practice patience before popping 100-point corks — the most extraordinarily age-worthy 2010 was authored by Michel Rolland and Gérard Perse at Château Pavie.

To this day, Robert M Parker Jr.’s 264-word review of the 2010 Château Pontet-Canet ranks among the most extraordinary of the critic’s 40-year career. The Wine Advocate called what many—including us—believe to be the greatest wine of 2010 and one of the greatest of the last CENTURY—“an absolutely amazing wine (with) off-the-charts massiveness (and) laser-like…
In 2010, one of the finest Second Growths of Bordeaux’s hallowed Margaux appellation—Château Rauzan-Ségla—produced a stunning, full-bodied, chiseled Cabernet that Robert M. Parker Jr. called “a stunning wine,” adding that it “should prove to be a timeless classic from the appellation of Margaux.” This wine earned a glowing 98 points from James Suckling, who suggests…
From 2003-2009, Saint-Pierre was on a hot streak. But in Issue #194 of The Wine Advocate, Robert Parker alerted collectors worldwide when he called the Saint-Pierre a “candidate for one of the top wines of this remarkable [2010] vintage,” and said that this very 2010 Château Saint-Pierre, “reminded me somewhat of a St. Julien version…

Bearing…

At $30, Evidence Par Caroline is a shocking value—but don’t be fooled, there’s no shock value here. This innovative red blend is a taste of history, from the days when Bordeaux cemented its reputation by furtively blending ripe, cherry-scented grapes from the Rhône into their herbaceous reds. Inspired by Bordeaux’s secretive past and her family’s…
