If you’re looking to experience top pedigree Bordeaux for a fraction of the price, we have the wine for you! Bordeaux First Growth, Chateau Latour, makes a secret wine that is mostly sold in European restaurants. This wine is Pauillac de Latour, and it’s made from the younger vines at Chateau Latour. It actually drinks better, younger than Chateau Latour. We have limited quantities available of 2019 Pauillac de Latour in half bottle (375 ml) and bottle (750 ml) formats.

“I love Pauillac De Latour because it’s designed to drink great upon release and to taste just like Chateau Latour… and indeed it does! It looks the same too – your friends won’t know the difference. At only $105 / bottle, this is a great Bordeaux. ” – Dave Sokolin

2019 Pauillac de Latour is a stunning value from an iconic property and gives you an opportunity to taste Latour’s top pedi

If you’re looking for something new and delicious to experience, we have the wine for you - 2020 Cheval des Andes!

If you’re looking to grow your Bordeaux collection, we have an amazing wine to add to your cellar - 2019 Lynch Bages. 2019 is THE Lynch Bages to own for any collector! It’s the first Lynch Bages vintage in history to score 100 points, and we are down to our final allocation of this gem! It’s hard to believe that this legendary estate has never had a perfect score, until now. And we have it for only $199 / bottle. For perspective, the 1989 & 1990 vintages that scored 99 points are now trading for $650+ bottle in original wood case. That’s an excellent indication of where the 2019 vintage is headed in the future.

2019 will be one of those vintages that catches fire and doubles in the near term, and perhaps again.

Lynch Bages always steals the show, and 2019 is a terrific buying opportunity! Jeb Dunnuck named it his #2 Top Wine of 2022 - it’s

If you’re a Bordeaux lover or collector, you might be interested in this terrific deal on 2005 Sociando Mallet. 2005 is one of the top ten Bordeaux vintages in history sitting alongside 1961, 1982, 1990 & 2009. This eighteen-year-old Sociando Mallet from the top 2005 vintage is still a deal, but won't be for long. At only $95 with a 94 point score from this historic vintage, it's one to pick up today! We have pristine, original wood cases that are in stock and ready to ship.

"Sociando Mallet was one of my father's earliest finds in Bordeaux in the 1960s; he was such a huge fan! It's no wonder why Robert Parker famously said that it has more in common with 1st growths than Cru Bourgeois." - Dave Sokolin

“It’s hard not to admire the brilliant Jean Gautreau, who has run this great terroir and estate (just to the north of St-Estèphe’s Château Montrose) with meticulou

Pontet Canet is famous for being Mouton’s neighbor, delivering magical 100 pointers for a fraction of the price.

If you’re a Bordeaux lover or collector, 2010 Pontet-Canet is a wine that you should own! Talk about a deal - at $299 / bottle, it is one of the best deals in 100 point, back-vintage Bordeaux! Scoring 100 points from both Robert Parker and James Suckling, it comes from one of history’s top Bordeaux vintages.

To see what an amazing buying opportunity this is, just look at how 2010 Pontet-Canet compared to these first growths from the same vintage - it outscored Lafite and has the same score as Mouton, but for a fraction of the price!

“The 2010 Pontet-Canet offers a very deep garnet color. Whoa—the nose explodes with a vast array of black fruit preserves and savory nuances: plum preserves, blackcurrant cordial, black cherry co

Bordeaux has been on a hot streak recently with a bumper crop of excellent vintages including 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2020. Our Buying Team recently arrived back from Bordeaux after tasting the 2022 Bordeaux vintage from barrel, and it looks like the Bordelais have another winner on their hands. Is 2022 “The Vintage of the Century?” Probably not, but with the wine still evolving in barrels, it’s really too early to tell.

The growing season in 2022 was mostly dry and warm and while many critics were quick to compare it to 2003, there are far more differences than similarities between the two vintages. 2003 was an extremely warm and dry year marked by scorching hot days, very warm nights and little-to-no rain for nearly the entire growing season. In 2022, the growing season started off with some early rain which allowed the clay and limestone soils to absorb and hold water like a sponge. As the summer went on, very little rain followed, but those vines with deep roots were able to
