Château Palmer Margaux 2000

The colour has remained a very deep purple. The powerful, complex bouquet combines blackcurrant, plum, ripe raspberry, and tobacco, with a hint of smokiness. Like most vintages of Palmer, this wine has filled out with bottle age. The imposing tannin present at the beginning has entirely softened, integrating beautifully into ... more

Château Potensac Medoc 2003

An elegant light style claret with ripe fruit flavors can be drunk while young. The wide and open landscape of the northern end of the Médoc, Potensac has long stood out as the finest property. It makes the most of a favorable location, but more importantly is owned and directly ... more

Château Guiraud Sauternes 2005

The first growth is produced from a 85ha of Sauternes appellation vines. Only Semillon and Sauvignon are planted at Guiraud with a pruning "à cots" or "in fan" for the Semillons and long branches for the Sauvignons. Harvest is only done hand picking by successive waves through the vineyard (2 ... more

Château Lascombes Margaux 2005

The dark, beautifully deep color displays brilliant purple hues. After swirling, a subtle nose of spices, black fruits and licorice comes through, enveloped by subtle toasty notes with roasted coffee beans. The palate, after a supple entry, is explosive whereas the discreet oak comes through subtly in the background, leaving ... more

Château Haut-Beausejour St. Estephe 2005

The 2005 vintage is a richly colored, deep red wine. The nose is a hedonist’s delight: an endless array of red- and black-berry fruit, with notes of stewed apples and jam overlaid by discreet, elegantly classy hints of wood and aromas of spice and tobacco. On the palate, the taste ... more

Thanks to impeccable harvesting and tailor-made winemaking, cabernet-sauvignon and merlot produce wines that are reputed for their aromatic complexity, their glorious structure and their ageing capacity, all true to the benchmark for Pauillac. more

Château Margaux Margaux 1998

The hot, dry summer, similar to 1990 and 1995, produced exceptionally concentrated wines from all grape varieties. The perfect complementarity of their flavors is already apparent in the wine's classic balance, a harmony of tannic structure and aromatic complexity worthy of the greatest vintages.  more

Château Monbousquet Saint Emilion 1999

The dense ruby/purple-colored 1999 Monbousquet exhibits a port-like bouquet of super-ripe black cherry and black currant fruit intermixed with scents of coffee, tobacco, and vanilla. Tipping the scales at a whopping 14% alcohol (extremely high for Bordeaux), this wine, which spends 18 months in 100% new oak and is bottled ... more

Château Ducru Beaucaillou Saint Julien 1999

Medium-full bodied, dry, ready, but will improve. The deep concentrated fruit is still masked by some very high quality oak. Very subdued this is a brooding wine and one that will require some years before opening out. Just as good as you would expect from this flourishing super-second growth. more

Château Rollan de By Medoc 2003

Since 1989, Rollan de By has found its style. On one hand, the terroir allows it to obtain well-bred and subtle wines and on the other hand, the work carried out in the vineyard and on the wines takes place with the greatest respect for the practices of the Medoc. ... more

Château d'Yquem Sauternes 2001

Beautiful brilliant golden colour. Concentrated bouquet of ripe fruit (mirabelle plum, apricot, and mango) and dried fruit (fig, raisin, and quince), followed by hints of white fruit(pear and vine peach) and spicy nuances (saffron, curry, toasty aromas, fresh mint, and eucalptus). This vintage's bouquet has a rare subtlety that can ... more
