Domaine de Cristia Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes 2018 is an exceptional red wine from the renowned Rhône Valley in France. Crafted primarily from Grenache grapes, sourced from old vines, this wine exemplifies the depth and complexity of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation.

An estate that's been in the hands of the same family for four generations. Winemaker Claire Laval is intent on preserving the terroir of her estate through meticulous care in the vineyard and winery. There's an excellent balance of fruit here, with a touch of woody tannins and a silken finish.

Château de Beaucastel Ch. Hommage À Jacques Perrin 2009 is an exceptional red wine produced in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation of the Rhône Valley, France. Crafted primarily from Mourvèdre grapes, blended with other traditional varietals, this wine pays homage to Jacques Perrin, a pioneer in the region.

The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Les Hautes Brusquières (60/40 Grenache and Syrah) comes from a cooler terroir near the Mount Redon plateau and was brought up in oak tronconique tanks and demi-muids.

The cellar in which Eric Jeanneteau raises his single wine, a beautiful red Saint-Émilion grand cru, is an unadorned building on the family estate in Saint-Étienne de Lisse. Jeanneteau varies his vinification quite a bit depending on each vintage’s conditions, and the results can be fascinating, even startling, like hearing the same symphony interpreted by different conductors. His 2015 is supple, vibrant, and alive. The cellar may be plain, but there’s a true chef d’orchestre inside.

Clos de la Vieille Eglise, the tiny property estate of Jean-Louis and Benoît Trocard, has an opulent bouquet with layers of ripe cassis and blueberry fruit, just showing a little more alcohol than its Pomerol peers. The palate is ripe and generous on the entry. I was expecting it to spill over into something overdone... but no. It is actually very elegant and harmonious with great depth and very fine persistence.

Refined with a young composition, Pavillon de Leoville Poyferre enjoys a fruity character with a palate pleasing finesse that is very rare to find for for a Bordeaux of its age. Comprised of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon and 37% Merlot.

A very colorful, deep red with shades of terracotta. Notes of toasted bread crust and mocha. Aromas of forest undergrowth, mushrooms and roasted plum. Very concentrated and ripe with round, full tannins.

Very deep purple ruby. Very intense and complex. It is difficult to identify which is more dominant of the mineral characters, the fruity notes or the floral notes. Very bold, mineral with a surprising freshness with fine and crisp tannins - apricot notes of Viognier.
