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
"Firm and harmonious, featuring peach, apple, honey and spice notes. Picks up some citrus accents toward the fi nish, which is long and mouthwatering."

Pale and golden in color with an abundance of elegant bubbles brings forth floral fruits with a subtle predominance of pear, apple, almonds and hazelnuts. On the palate it is fresh on the opening, smooth, pleasant and balanced.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Soft and elegant showing delicious notes of citrus and pear, with an underlying creaminess, yet remaining lively on the palate. 100% Chardonnay from Premier Cru vineyards in the prestigious Cotes Des Blancs. The perfect aperitif, also great with chicken and seafood.

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.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The basic Fontenil (95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon) has a deep bluish purple color ... full-bodied, layered, opulent wine, with lots of black raspberry fruit intermixed with some blueberries and crushed rock ... [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.
