Cellar/Tasting Notes
"There is really lovely refinement to the precise, energetic and full-bodied flavors that possess good power on the focused, balanced and persistent finish."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This is really quite aromatically refined, indeed the expressive nose is highly perfumed and speaks of floral, plum and black cherry scents layered with a subtle earthiness. The sense of refinement continues onto the palate as the focused, intense and sleekly muscular flavors evidence good power..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"... The rich, round and velvety flavors are blessed with an abundance of dry extract that coats the mouth and buffers the tannins on the firm and exceptionally long finish where, like the Bressandes, the wood resurfaces. This classic Clos du Roi is built to age..."

"Planted in pure limestone above Gerard Perse's other famous vineyard/terroir, Chateau Pavie, this 10-acre site's vines average 47 years of age. Fashioned from remarkably low yields, this blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc is a powerful, dense, tannic wine that will require considerable..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
... the 2009 Les Pensees de Lafleur has terrific purity, a serious level of concentration, impressive notes of melted licorice and kirsch liqueur, and a full-bodied mouthfeel. While its tannins are soft, the wine boasts plenty of glycerin and leaves an impressive tactile impression.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Good full red. Pungent aromas of raspberry, crushed stone and white pepper. Enters with intense raspberry and spices, then turns firm and floral in the middle, showing superb energy and sappiness to the primary red fruit and mineral flavors. With its saline impression of extract and strong..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2010 Clos des Lambrays is striking. Dark cherries, plums, wild berries, spices and licorice are woven together beautifully in this highly expressive, singular wine. A cool vein of minerality is a common thread as the wine continues to take shape in the glass. There is a beguiling, mysterious..
