98-Point Saint-Émilion That Will Astound Collector alert: Few Right Bank 2010s are as sought-after as Saint-Émilion’s Premier Grand Cru Château Figeac, which drew a rave 96 points from Wine Spectator and 98 points by a gobsmacked James Suckling. Bordeaux’s 2015 vintage may soon enter the pantheon of epic and collectible years, but of the last…
Parker Revered Winemaker’s Under-$30 Bordeaux Stunner A combination of the winemaking talents of Bordeaux superstar Stéphane Derenoncourt, author of many Robert Parker 100-point wines, an excellent 6-acre hilly clay limestone site, and the phenomenal 2010 vintage has resulted in one of Bordeaux’s greatest Right Bank bargains. The 2010 Bordeaux vintage — a batch of sensationally…
The Parker Treatment in Bordeaux: “What’s a partner to do???” Honestly, we had no idea how much noise WineAccess had made until we received the call. Last week, the Président-Directeur Général of the largest trading company in Bordeaux reached out to invite us to the April en primeur tasting of the much-ballyhooed 2015s. We were…
94-Point Sanity Check in a Market Gone Wild We’ve said it before: Here we go again. Are there really enough young Silicon Valley billionaires and Chinese real estate tycoons to fuel a high-end wine market gone wild? Will prices continue to soar or will buyers finally come to their senses, causing the bubble to burst?…
Parker’s “Spectacular” 93pt Haut-Médoc and the Blessings of Montaigne Michel de Montaigne was a giant of 16th century letters. He is largely credited with revolutionizing and popularizing the essay, penning 107 iconic, discursive musings still taught in literature and philosophy classes to this day. An early skeptic, he is remembered for his motto: “Que sais-je?”…
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—a 98-point vintage that Robert Parker rated behind only the all-time great 2009—Léoville Las Cases made one of their finest wines ever. It scored a perfect 100 points in Wine Enthusiast, who ranked it as their #21 Cellar Selection of the year, calling it “a great wine, with great potential.” Léoville Las Cases is…
The Upgrade Effect: Parker’s 98+pt 2010 Château Léoville Poyferré It was on May 1, 2011, that Robert Parker first weighed in on the 2010 Léoville Poyferré. In Issue #194 of The Wine Advocate, Parker wrote: “This seamlessly constructed St.-Julien possesses massive concentration, moderately high tannins, abundant glycerin, an unctuous texture, remarkably fresh acids and wonderful…
A Stone’s Throw from Château Margaux In 1827, the Count of St. Exupéry purchased Château Malescot and the surrounding 15 acres of vineyards and then renamed his estate Château Malescot St. Exupéry. But the wine business of the 19th century bore little resemblance to that of today. Twenty-six years later, following the death of the…
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. Mouton Rothschild’s second wine, Le Petit Mouton, is sourced from younger vines on the Mouton Rothschild estate, but vinified with the same meticulous attention to detail as…
First Growth Château Mouton Rothschild has earned so much praise over the years that it’s rare to find a rave that doesn’t just blend in with the rest. But Decanter’s Ian D’Agata managed to say something about the 2010 that cut through it all: “If you and your friends were to splurge on just one…
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. Robert Parker penned one of the most effusive 100-point reviews in Wine Advocate history saying: “This wine is truly profound Bordeaux. Everything…
2010 Château Perron — A Serious Wine for the Bordeaux Bargain-Hunter By now, the greatness of Bordeaux’s 2010 vintage has been well documented. Robert Parker, Stephen Tanzer, James Suckling, Jancis Robinson, and Wine Spectator all came out with guns blazing, ranking 2010 as one of the greatest vintages since 1961. Parker dropped a DOZEN 100-point…
On The Edge of Perfection In February of this year, Robert Parker’s longtime critic Jeb Dunnuck, published a show-stopping 99+ point review of the 2010 Pichon-Longueville Baron. We first offered this “Super Second” two years ago. Today, it is on the literal edge of perfection and we have requested another 192 bottles, to be drawn…
Cabernet takes the wheel in this “Super Second” Ever since Robert Parker rocked the wine industry by announcing that he’d no longer be tasting young Bordeaux at the spring barrel-tastings, prices for the fabulous 2009 and 2010 vintages have skyrocketed. Savvy Bordeaux collectors have let us know that our efforts to secure these rare prized…
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…
Château Saint-Pierre’s impressive 97-point score puts their 2010 right between Left Bank superstar peers like the 96-point 2010 Château Palmer ($400+) and 98-point Château Margaux ($1,000+), yet its mere $119 price makes this St. Julien overachiever one of the most thrilling values from one of the greatest Bordeaux vintages of all time. A Robert Parker…
