Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This delivers textbook St.-Julien notes of cassis, briar, roasted apple wood and charcoal, along with dark plum character and a winey, slightly tarry finish. Should be a solid, short-term ager as the grip is just loosely knit enough. Best from 2013 through 2020."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Second wine of Chateau Preuillac.
After the harvests, carried out exclusively by hand, begins the long labour of "orchestration" to compose the best possible wine - balanced, harmonious and allowing the fruit its fullest expression. At the end of the process, the wines of Chateau Preuillac..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Clos Magne Figeac is a plentiful, lavish, well structured red Bordeaux which also provides a lovely robe to balance its well developed bouquet. Being that it is located on the Saint Emilion plateau between Pomerol and Saint Emilion, it is no surprise that the wine emulates qualities from both..

Winemaker's Notes: "This wine is both simple and elegant. A nice purple colour. Delicate red fruit aromas on the nose. This is a great example of what the Pinot Noir grape can produce on the Burgundian terroir."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2010 La Blaca (70% Syrah, 15% Grenache and 15% Carignan) exhibits an inky/purple color along with lots of camphor, acacia flower, blackberry and black raspberry fruit notes. Full-bodied, unctuously textured, juicy, heady and lush..."

This bordeaux blend, produced from the young vines of the chateau, is made like its older brother (Chateau Cantemerle) Les Allées de Cantemerle has the same personality as the grand vin, but a shorter ageing potential. As it ages more quickly, Les Allées de Cantemerle is generally ready to be..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This is full of succulent dark currant, dried cherry, stewed meat and violet flavors that take on plenty of mocha and bittersweet chocolate notes. The tannic finish is muscular, yet restrained, and features white pepper and cedar overtones. Drink now through 2020."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Alary’s top cuvee, the 2010 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Cairanne Font d’Estevanas is a blend of equal parts old vine Grenache and Syrah, the latter planted in 1961, grown in the clay/limestone hillsides ... it is a fabulous unfiltered wine offering abundant notes of licorice, truffles, camphor, black..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Another blockbuster is the 2010 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Rasteau Cuvee Marc. Composed of 50% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre and 25% Syrah, this is a fabulous value from an increasingly promising appellation. A sumptuous bouquet of kirsch, licorice, chocolate fudge, blackberries and graphite emerges from..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
This is one of the best second wines of the Médoc. Connétable saw the light of day in the sixties. Over the years it has profited from all the care given to the vineyard and the increasingly severe selections. Like its elder, this is a classic, elegant wine, with a clear, well-designed structure..
