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…
The Winery That Wasn’t Sold to Brangelina When Tom Bove sold Château Miraval to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie for $60 million, he kept the jewel of his vineyard holdings, Château La Mascaronne, for himself. We’ve followed Mascaronne over the past five vintages — the 2016 is unquestionably the best vintage to-date. Like Tom, we’re…
We’ve been drinking the same case of under-the-radar 2010 La Tour de Mons for nearly a decade—usually with a grilled ribeye or rack of lamb—and every year, its value proposition grows stronger and stronger. This overachieving estate is a rule-breaker, a quiet exception, reminding us that extraordinary value can exist alongside long-lived brilliance, even in…
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…
When you’re laying out triple digits for a bottle, it’s not too hard to find Bordeaux that epitomizes the elegance, vibrancy, and dynamism of the region. But when you’re paying closer to $50, finding an exemplary Bordeaux is a feat—which is why the 2016 Château Larrivet Haut-Brion is a singularly smart buy. Grown in the…
Today’s 2016 Château Lassègue Les Cadrans de Lassègue—a Right Bank blend from a spectacular vintage—is one of the best Bordeaux values we’ve seen in a long time. Last year, we sold not one but two 200-case allocations in less than 24 hours each, and this 2016 is every bit as delicious as its predecessor. Dripping…
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…
In 2016, one of Bordeaux’s greatest-ever vintages, Château Margaux—one of the most storied wine estates in the world—produced an absolute benchmark for the estate. We now have the rare privilege of offering this triple-99-point masterpiece—perfectly cellared and with perfect provenance—in EXTREMELY rare half-bottles. Sourcing impeccable examples of this spectacular wine can be difficult. Enough time…
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…
Some Bordeaux properties seem perpetually undervalued. For us, St.-Émilion’s Grand Cru Classé dark horse, Château Monbousquet, is right at the top of that list. Under the direction of Gérard Perse, a pioneer in the modern Bordeaux style, and master consultant Michel Rolland, the Grand Vin is a textbook expression of the appellation—rich, velvety, harmonious—minus the…
Grown a stone’s throw from Mouton-Rothschild, Lafite, and Pontet-Canet, you would expect classic Bordeaux character—elegance, poise, kaleidoscopic complexity, and long-lived structure. You wouldn’t, however, expect a price like this. The 2016 Le Haut-Médoc de Pédesclaux offers all of it. Charming the senses with a silky mélange of red currant and black raspberry layered with violet,…
The Bordeaux that the Locals Love The old advice is correct: Whatever the locals are eating and drinking, follow their lead. We did, and have this stellar wine to offer as a result. We were reminded of this in the most delicious way when we first came upon Chateau Pied d’Argent during a recent trip…
From a historic estate that was planted and modernized by the Domaines Barons de Rothschild, Château Ramafort is an outstanding Bordeaux red backed not just by us, but by the world’s top wine critics and New York City’s elite sommeliers. Lafite-Rothschild produces bottles that routinely go for four-digit prices, and the family behind that famed…
Château Rauzan-Ségla is one of the greatest Second Growth properties in Bordeaux, and their near-perfect 2016—which boasts TWO 98-point scores—proves it. “I continue to love the 2016 Rauzan-Ségla, a thrillingly complete, flawlessly balanced, and borderline perfect Margaux that should be snatched up by readers,” wrote Jeb Dunnuck in his 98-point review, citing “a level of…
Bright, golden yellow colour. The nose is fresh and powerful with citrus notes, particularly tangerine skin. These are complemented by toasted aromas from the perfectly integrated oak. On the palate, the attack is very fresh and balanced, characterized by mellowness and finesse. The wine then reveals its power, with a sensation of fullness and tremendous…
In the South of France, in the shadow of the Pyrenees, the little village of Maury and its profound, opulent reds are commanding the attention of the entire wine world. Napa vintners like Abe Schoener, Dave Phinney, and Kimberly Jones are now developing brands here, and it was the incomparable Bordeaux négociant Jacques Boissenot who…
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…
Our négociant friend mentioned it almost too casually. She had just polished off her pâté, taken a sip of the wine, and said, “You know, I have a client with a vineyard that overlooks Pétrus—pretty sure their wine would go even better with this dish.” Like a scene in a movie, we all put down…
Memories and Fantasies of France, Bottled in Bordeaux It’s about this time every year when we start dreaming of France. We go every July, catching up with old friends, knocking on cellar doors, walking the galet roulés of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, sifting the dirt of the Premier Cru and Grand Cru hillsides above Aloxe-Corton in our fingers, dining in our favorite open-air cafe on…
