Cellar/Tasting Notes
RP: "This terroir is superbly situated between Beausejour Duffau and Beau-Sejour-Becot, with Angelus within shouting distance. Bellevue has been managed by Stephane Derenoncourt and Nicolas Thienpont since 2000, and when St.-Emilion does its next new classification (in 2016), I would not be..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Domaines Ott's Clos Mireille Blanc de Blancs is an elegant, mouth-filling blend of Semillon and Rolle (aka Vermentino when in Italy). The result is a delicately floral, fruit filled wine with echoes of white peach and honey. The 2010 vintage was cool fermented and stored in oak casks for a year..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Light yellow-gold. Pungent, lees-accented aromas of pear skin, nectarine and jasmine, with a hint of iodine adding complexity. Juicy, palate-coating orchard fruit flavors are energized by notes of lime and lemongrass. Hefty but surprisingly lithe wine with impressive finishing cling, firm back-end..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
A major sleeper of the vintage, this outstanding wine from the Aubert family in St.-Emilion has terrific plum, black cherry and cassis fruit as well as hints of earth and flowers. Supple-textured, opulent and savory, it is a heady, fleshy wine to drink over the next 3-5 years.

[One] of the best wines from Dany and Michel Rolland ... of Fontenil in Fronsac."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Aromas of small red berries with some light cherry sapwood and a delicate nose of oak. This is dynamic and full of minerality due to the stony soil.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Very perfumed, soft and supple, even velvety. The name means raspberry bush and the berry notes come through brightly on the nose and palate. Solid tannic structure and definition.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"…his is an outstanding wine and further evidence of just how strong this estate’s wines have become. Sweet plum and red and black currant fruit, intermixed with notes of resiny pine forest and forest floor as well as a hint of barrique, are followed by a wine with gorgeous depth, an attractive,..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Moderate wood influence sets off intensely earthy ripe red berry fruit aromas that sit atop the rich, pure and relatively fine middle weight flavors that possess very good depth and length. This moderately structured effort is a quality Savigny villages and worth considering."
