2016 Chateau Tour St. Bonnet - Medoc (750ml)

Tour St. Bonnet is located in Northern part of the Medoc (north of St. Estephe). One of the Médoc’s most reliable overachievers, Château Tour St. Bonnet has been under the stewardship of the Lafon family since the 17th century. The vineyards, planted predominantly to Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon with touches of Petit Verdot and Malbec, lie on gravelly soils just north of Saint-Estèphe — prime Left Bank terroir without the lofty price tag.

The 2016 vintage in Bordeaux is already the stuff of legend, and Tour St. Bonnet shows it in spades: deep cassis, graphite, and tobacco leaf framed by supple yet persistent tannins. Unlike many of its neighbors, the wine is aged in traditional large oak foudres rather than small barriques, which preserves purity of fruit and a true expression of terroir.

A classic Cru Bourgeois: structured, honest, and built to drink beautifully now or evolve gracefully over the next decade.

The 2016 de Pez has turned out well. Iron, smoke, savory herbs, menthol and scorched earth all give Pez its distinctive feral, savory profile. The tannins are still a bit tough, but time will help, to some degree. It will be interesting to see what the...

2022 Domaine Jean Foillard - Beaujolais Villages (750ml)

750ml | SKU 100310 | Out of Stock

For this over-delivering Beaujolais-Villages, Jean sources organic grapes from excellent parcels around his village of Villié-Morgon as well as Lancié, Saint-Amour, and Saint-Étienne-la-Varenne, and ages the wine through an extended élevage more akin to that of his renowned Morgons than to other regional bottlings. Accordingly, the wine evolves slowly, becoming more poised and complete. Evoking pomegranate, rhubarb, and black tea, the result is a beautiful initiation to Jean’s house style, distinguished by a mesmerizing tension between depth, density, silkiness, and elegance.
