Producers
Château Tertre de la Mouleyre
France | Bordeaux | St-Émilion Grand Cru
Crafted from less than two hectares of organic grapes and vinified in a cramped garage, this is silky Saint-Emilion at its most seductive.
Château Gombaude-Guillot
France | Bordeaux | Pomerol
Dress-code-not-required Bordeaux, whose velvety tannins and supple structure fit more like soft flannel and worn jeans than a stiff suit jacket and tie
Château Moulin
France | Bordeaux | Fronsac
Made without added sulfur, a transparent reflection of Merlot grown in the limestone and clay of Fronsac
Château Belles-Graves
France | Bordeaux | Lalande-de-Pomerol
A generous wine dominated by ripe black fruit with very supple, approachable tannins.
Château Gombaude-Guillot
France | Bordeaux | Pomerol
I don’t know if it’s the 2016 vintage—considered one of Bordeaux’s greatest of the last decade—or if this wine is in a particularly prime place, but it’s the best bottle of Gombaude-Guillot I’ve ever tasted.
Château Belles-Graves
France | Bordeaux | Lalande-de-Pomerol
A generous wine dominated by ripe black fruit with very supple, approachable tannins
Château Haut-Lariveau
France | Bordeaux | Fronsac
There is nothing overdone in this chiseled, elegant cuvée made from organically grown and pampered Merlot.
Château Moulin Pey-Labrie
France | Bordeaux | Canon-Fronsac
Divine with lemon and rosemary roasted lamb.
Château de Bellevue France | Bordeaux | Lussac Saint Émilion

A structured, terroir-driven Cabernet Sauvignon for the ages
Château Belles-Graves
France | Bordeaux | Lalande-de-Pomerol
Soft and refined, it can be appreciated in its youth, while the powerful structure lurking beneath promises a bright future in your cellar.
Château Aney
France | Bordeaux | Haut Médoc
It reminds me of dried tobacco, stones, and black currant, and it should drink well for two decades.
Château Moulin Pey-Labrie
France | Bordeaux | Canon-Fronsac
Divine with lemon and rosemary roasted lamb.
