The 2022 Château Moulin Riche is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon yet includes 25% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot. This deep purple-hued effort offers gorgeous darker currants and plum fruits intermixed with smoky tobacco, graphite, and chocolaty notes. I love its overall balance, and it's a classic, deep, rich, full-bodied 2022 with a round, layered mouthfeel, sweet tannins, and a great finish.Inc. TAX€261.34 -

The 2019 Pavillon de Léoville-Poyferré is fabulous. Rich, sensual and inviting, the Pavillon wraps around the palate with soft curves, silky tannins and exceptional balance. Readers will have a hard time keeping their hands off this wine. And why wait? The 2019 is primed to deliver immense pleasure today. Bright red-toned fruit and lifted floral notes linger on the soft, caressing finish. Since 2019, the Pavillon has been a true second wine of Léoville-Poyferré, whereas in the past it was the second wine of both Léoville-Poyferré and Moulin Riche.Inc. TAX€308.14 -

Ripe currants, cassis, graphite, leafy herbs, and smoky notes all emerge from the 2022 Pavillon De Léoville Poyferré, a full-bodied, rich, layered mouth-filling second wine that has ripe tannins, terrific overall balance, and a great finish. Based on 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot, coming primarily from younger vines, it should keep nicely through 2042.Inc. TAX€227.74 -
Pavillon du Glana 2021 exemplifies the pinnacle of Château Glana's vinicultural mastery in the esteemed Loire Valley. Crafted from meticulously selected Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, this vintage undergoes a meticulous fermentation process in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, preserving its vibrant acidity and aromatic complexity. The wine is then aged for twelve months in French oak barrels, imparting subtle nuances of vanilla and toasted brioche without overshadowing its natural finesse. The terroir's unique limestone and clay soils contribute to its crisp minerality and elegant structure. Domaine Glana, renowned for its unwavering commitment to sustainable farming practices, ensures each bottle reflects both tradition and innovation. On the palate, Pavillon du Glana 2021 reveals layers of citrus zest, green apple, and delicate floral notes, culminating in a refined, lingering finish. This exquisite expression is a testament to Château Glana's dedication to producing fine wines of exceptional quality and character.

Possibly one of two of the most concentrated St.-Juliens (Léoville Las Cases is the other), this 2005 shows wonderfully sweet tannin, a dense ruby/purple color, and lots of crème de cassis, licorice and spice. Full-bodied, opulent, and impressive, it is surprisingly soft, though it will certainly age nicely for 15-20+ years.Inc. TAX€1,067.06 -

A candidate for one of the finest St.-Juliens of the vintage, St.-Pierre's 2006 is one of the smaller productions in this consistent appellation, making it difficult to find in the marketplace. Its deep opaque purple color is accompanied by notes of roasted herbs, charcoal, graphite, and extravagant creme de cassis and licorice. Full-bodied, powerful, deep, and rich with outstanding balance, purity, texture, and length, this stunning 2006 will be very long-lived. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2030.Inc. TAX€812.66 -

The all-time greatest wine I have ever tasted from Saint-Pierre, this estate, the smallest of the grand cru classes of St.-Julien, has an opaque purple color and a spectacular nose of subtle charcoal, creme de cassis, blackberry, and incense. Full-bodied, with striking intensity and flamboyantly rich, exuberant flavors bursting with extract, the St. Pierre has no hard edges, but rather massive, incredibly well-endowed blockbuster style, which should prove to be monumental. Give it 6-8 years to take on more definition and calm down, but this is a 30- to 40-year wine. Bravo!Inc. TAX€1,056.96 -

Deep plum colour, oyster shell salinity on the first nose, a classic signature of 2010 that is quickly followed up by bitter black chocolate and tight liquorice root. Great quality, just a stunning sleek damson and cassis-filled wine but these bristling tannins remain very much in control right now, and I suggest giving it a good few more years before the excellence is truly released. No question in my mind that it is going to storm into the top of St Julien when fully in its drinking window. 50% new oak, 44hl/h yield.Inc. TAX€1,277.56 -

The 2014 Saint-Pierre has the most fruit-driven bouquet of the flight of Saint Julien wines with copious red cherries, boysenberry and fig-like scents. It certainly is the one with the immediate appeal rather than intrinsic complexity. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, quite solid tannin that provide good backbone to support the weight of fruit. There is a lot of extraction here but everything remains nicely proportioned and there is more than enough freshness towards the finish. This should not be under-estimated and it will provide long-term drinking pleasure. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.Inc. TAX€632.16 -

This 17-hectare estate has been rejuvenated by owner Jean-Louis Triaud and is certainly producing some of the top wines from the appellation today. I tasted the deep, inky-colored 2015 Château Saint-Pierre twice and it’s reminiscent of the 2010, only with more elegance. In 2015 the wine is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc and it spent 14 months in 50% new and 50% once used barrels. Chocolate covered dark fruits, damp earth, tobacco leaf, and lead pencil shaving-like notes emerge from this huge, concentrated beauty that has building tannin and a huge mid-palate. It’s an incredible wine that builds with time in the glass, has no hard edges and is going to 3-4 decades of life. Bravo!Inc. TAX€658.56 -
