2014 COS D'ESTOURNEL ST-ESTEPHE

Karen MacNeil"Cos, as it is known (the s is pronounced), is indisputably one of the most distinctive Bordeaux. In great years it has an exotic, earthy, you-just-opened-a-humidor sensuality to its aroma (not unlike Chateau Haut-Brion), but the...

2015 TALBOT ST-JULIEN

94 points James Suckling"A big, rich wine for St. Julien with plenty of power and concentration, which enables it to carry plenty of spicy and toasty oak. The tannins need some time to soften, but the elegant finish says that from 2020 this should...

Ch Cambon La Pelouse, Haut-Medoc 2015

Chateau Capbern, St Estephe 2015

93 points Wine Enthusiast Produced by the team of Calon Ségur, this wine is stylish and elegant while also full of the Saint Estèphe tannic structure. Fresh and fruity, it is also firm and tannic. Drink this spicy, juicy wine from 2025...

Chateau Durfort-Vivens, Viviens Margaux 2014

93 points Wine Enthusiast"The second wine from the biodynamic estate of Durfort-Vivens, this is a deliciously ripe fruity wine, dominated by 82% Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a crisp accessible character that will allow it to age relatively quickly. The...

Chateau Fombrauge, St-Emilion 2016

93-95 points Wine Enthusiast"This is a perfumed wine, likely thanks to a dollop (7%) of Cabernet Franc. It has ripe fruit characters, pleasant richness and a firm structure. (RV) (4/2017) 94 points James Suckling"There’s a very rich and powerful...

Chateau Fourcas-Dupre, Listrac-Medoc 2016

91 points Decanter"This is tasting beautiful this year, very enjoyable fruit extraction that manages to be intense but not overdone. The tannins are firm but could perhaps be a little more pliable to fully open up the structure of the wine. Classic, with...

Chateau L'Ecuyer, Pomerol 2014

92 points Wine Enthusiast"This seven-acre Petit family estate is dominated by Merlot that gives the wine its rich generous character. In this vintage it was balanced by crisp acidity and a lively aftertaste. The tannins promise further aging. Drink from...

Chateau La Tour de By Medoc 2015

Jancis Robinson"Quite blueish deep crimson. Fragrant, classical 'luncheon claret'. Nothing wrong with that if that is your yen. Far from luscious on the palate, this wine needs to soften a little and lose its rather sandy tannins. But it should be a...

Chateau Lalande-Borie, Saint-Julien 2016

93 points James Suckling"Attractive, ripe Cabernet fruit on the nose, this has aromas of blackberries and blueberries with a dark, slate-like, stony edge. The palate is very succulent and has good intensity of purple berries and assertive, grainy tannins...

Chateau Larrivaux, Haut-Medoc 2012

90 points Wine Enthusiast"This ripe, fruity wine is developing a fine balance between fruit and structure. Its black currant flavors are bright, juicy and crisp, sustained by a core of dryness and delicious acidity. It will benefit from another year of...

Chateau Le Boscq, Saint-Estephe Cru Bourgeois 2016

93 points James Suckling"The aromas of spices, such as nutmeg and dried coriander, are very impressive. Black currants, too. Full-bodied with tannins that are fine-grained and very polished. Pretty finish that brings you back for more. Try in 2024." 93...

Chateau Meyney, Saint-Estephe 2015

93 Points Wine Enthusiast"Barrel Sample. This wine is poised between great fruits and firm tannins. It has both in abundance, bursting with black currant flavors and lively acidity." Jancis Robinson"Tasted blind. Very dark crimson. Rich array of aromas...

Chateau Montrose, La Dame de Montrose St Estephe 2016

93 points Jeb Dunnuck"The 2016 Dame de Montrose is also gorgeous, and the second wines of Bordeaux continue to gain in quality. A blend of 52% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, aged in 30% new oak, this beauty...

Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, Reserve de la Comtesse Pauillac 2015

94 points Wine Enthusiast"There are plenty of tannins here along with fresh black currant fruits. This wine is structured and firm in the style of a Pauillac. But it also has a softer side, with elegance and light. This wine will develop relatively...

Chateau Picque Caillou, Pessac-Leognan Rouge 2015

93 points Wine Enthusiast"Produced with advice from the late Denis Dubourdieu who was instrumental in revolutionizing Bordeaux white wines, this is impressive. The wood aging is just right, giving toast and allowing the ripe fruits to blossom and smooth...

Chateau Raymond Lafon, Sauternes 2006 (375ml)

92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"Tasted blind at Southwold ’06 Bordeaux tasting. It is adorned with a straightforward, no frills Sauternes nose, good definition, barley sugar, lemon curd and honey, gaining in intensity in the glass. The...

Chateau Senejac, Haut-Medoc 2016

92 points James Suckling"Very charming and precocious with ripe-redcurrant character and a lovely combination of delicate sweetness and supple tannins on the palate, the finish long and silky. Drink or hold." 91 points Decanter"From the Bignon-Cordier...

Chateau Teyssier, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2015

92 points James Suckling "A balanced and pretty red with walnut and berry aromas and flavors. Medium to full body."   91 points Wine Spectator "This has a very friendly, juicy, rounded core of plum, blackberry and raspberry fruit,...

Domaine de Chevalier, Pessac-Leognan 2014

96 points Vinous"I was deeply impressed with these wines from Domaine de Chevalier. The red has a slight upper hand in 2014, but both wines are distinctive and full of character. Olivier Bernard owns one of the crown jewels of Bordeaux, as these wines...

L’Hetre, Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux 2016

Vinous Reverie NotesJancis Robinson - Wine of the Week"Two years ago we ran a competition to rename Château Goubau, the Castillon estate bought by Jacques Thienpont and his sister in 2016. The name that was finally chosen, L’Hêtre,...

Myrat, Sauternes 2015 (375ml)
