Emanating from the esteemed cellars of Château Lescalle, we present the bewitching pleasure of Aurage 2019. This exalted representation of Bordeaux Supérieur manifests the viticultural mastery of Propriétaire-Récoltant Max de Pourtalès, delivering a wine that boasts elegance and balance in equal measure. With its blend predominantly of Merlot and an accent of Cabernet Franc, Aurage 2019 imparts a complex profile of dark berries, plum, and subtle spice.
Precisely harvested at peak ripeness then matured in French oak barrels for eighteen months, the Aurage 2019 delivers a voluptuously silky texture, superb depth of flavour and refined maturity befitting its lineage. This wine's terroir is distinctively displayed through its graphite minerality and well-delineated structure indicative of the splendid gravelly clay soils and meticulous vine cultivation.
Aurage 2019 is a testimonial to the prowess of its producer and the rich heritage of the Bordeaux region, fulfilling the promise of a captivating and indulgent journey in every sip for discerning oenophiles.

Sliced-apple and lime with some aniseed and licorice. Iodine, too. Full-bodied with linear acidity and a fine tannin structure that goes on for minutes. 65% sauvignon blanc and 35% semillon. This is fantastic and so delicious now, but can age for a very long time. Drink or hold.Inc. TAX€937.98 -

The 2019 d'Aiguilhe has a really lovely bouquet of ample black cherry, mulberry and light floral scents, very pure and delineated. The palate is medium-bodied with cedar-infused red fruit. While not as exuberant as the aromatics, this is nicely detailed and quite poised on the finish. No, I still cannot pronounce its name, but this Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux is well worth seeking out.Inc. TAX€454.04 -

Touch of reduction, with flint and gunsmoke adding focus and interest. Stands out for its grip and tension and a feeling of depth to the stone and citrus fruit. Touches of green apple and gooseberry also.Inc. TAX€162.78 -

The 2019 Grand Village Blanc, 25% Sémillon and 75% Sauvignon Blanc (Bordeaux clones and massal selection) has a perfumed bouquet of yellow plum, nectarine and honeysuckle. The palate is well balanced with a waxy texture, dried apricot and pear, lovely weight and salinity surfacing on the finish. It is one of the finest Grand Village Blanc that I have tasted.Inc.

Discover the sheer opulence of L'Hetre 2019, a quintessential pinnacle bottling from the revered Podio Alto vineyard in the Castillon, Côtes de Bordeaux region. Thoughtfully crafted by the Thienpont family, these dedicated artisans bring generations of winemaking expertise, famed for their distinguished work at Château Le Pin and Vieux Château Certan.

This is an excellent vintage of Montlandrie, with smoked coffee and cocoa bean, a ton of salinity, powerful blue and red fruits, super juicy on the finish. Enticing curled woodsmoke as it comes out of the glass, slate finish with a scrape of minerality. 40% new oak. Harvest September 30 to October 10.Inc. TAX€235.98 -

High Sauvignon Blanc aromatics, with gunsmoke and flint reduction on the first nose, opening to juicy white peach, white pear, nuanced pumice stone minerality. Pavillon Blanc is one of the most structured white wines of Bordeaux, and reveals its complexities slowly, but already the texture tells you just what an exceptional vintage it is. Subtle yet unmissable.Inc. TAX€2,002.38 -

Another brilliant white from Jean-Luc Thunevin, the 2019 Château Valandraud Blanc has a stunning array of pineapple and melon fruit as well as complex notes of spice, white flowers, and a chalky, earthy mineral character. It's beautifully balanced, full-bodied, has integrated acidity, and a great, great finish. I'd put it up with the top whites in the vintage.Inc. TAX€518.56 -
