1982 Chateau Petite Village Pomerol (750ml)
Owned and managed by the brilliant Bruno Prats (owner of Cos d'EStournel) from 1971 to 1989.
Placed on the eastern outskirts of Pomerol and the hamlet Catusseau, the estate lies in a cluster with Château Beauregard, Vieux Château Certan and Château La Conseillante.
The legendary 1982 vintage left its mark across Bordeaux, and Château Petit-Village crafted one of its finest wines of the era. Sourced from the estate’s prime gravel-and-clay plateau in the heart of Pomerol, this is fully mature Right Bank claret with all the complexity, polish, and charm collectors hope for.
The wine shows a beautifully evolved bouquet—truffle, dried plum, cedar, tobacco leaf, and warm spices—unfolding with the soft, savory depth only decades of careful cellaring can deliver. On the palate it remains remarkably graceful: silky tannins, sweet tertiary fruit, and a lingering, earthy finish that speaks clearly of classic Pomerol terroir.
A rare chance to experience a well-preserved bottle from one of Bordeaux’s greatest vintages. Perfect for collectors, mature-wine enthusiasts, or anyone looking to mark a special occasion with a true piece of Pomerol history.
2009 Chateau Pichon Lalande - Pauillac
Deep garnet colored, the 2009 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a little reticent to begin, slowly giving way to notions of warm black cherries, blackcurrant cordial, stewed plums and sautéed herbs with hints of damp soil, tobacco and beef drippin...
2010 Chateau Potensac Medoc Ex-Chateau release
The 2010 Potensac has a high-toned, airy bouquet with balsamic and Hoisin infusing the black fruit. The palate is well defined with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. There is something just a little "Oriental" about the style of this Potensac tha...
2017 Conterno Fantino Barolo Sori Ginestra
An important and cellar-worthy wine, the Conterno Fantino 2017 Barolo Ginestra Vigna Sori Ginestra shows ripe fruit and wild berry, with background tones of grill herb, licorice and pressed blue flowers. There are hints of eucalyptus and white pepper that...
2019 Domaine du Clos de Tart - La Forge de Tart
This is really quite good and worthy of your interest. An elegant and agreeably fresh nose is comprised by a pretty blend of both red and dark pinot fruit, sandalwood, violet and a subtle touch of wood. There is better volume and richness to the attracti...

2004 Lopez de Heredia - Rioja Vina Tondonia Gran Reserva Blanco
I was very much looking forward to the 2004 Viña Tondonia Blanco Gran Reserva, the next vintage of this wine after the spectacular 2001. 2004 was a perfect climate year. This is a developed white that was matured in well-seasoned, neutral American oak bar...
2004 Lopez de Heredia - Rioja Vina Tondonia Gran Reserva
The 2004 Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva didn't stop growing and changing in the glass for the good three hours that lasted the tasting of the portfolio. I had tasted this wine on my previous visit (they don't usually open future Gran Reserva vintages), and I ...
2019 Lucien Le Moine - Clos St. Denis
A delicately spicy nose offers up gorgeously pure aromas lavender, violet and red cherry. The refined, equally pure and beautifully textured medium weight flavors possess excellent length on the energetic, compact and well-balanced finale. This lacy but p...
2017 Taub Family - Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Morisoli Borges Vineyard
A robustly rich and densely concentrated expression of the vineyard in a warm vintage, this wine tastes of cinnamon and clove atop blackberry pie, with soft, supple tannins and well integrated oak. Good tension and texture provide energy and length.
