2009 Release September 29, 2012 - BC Liquor Stores

2009 Release September 29, 2012 

BORDEAUX

THE 2009 

BORDEAUX RELEASE 

Two summers ago, BC Liquor Stores placed reservations 

for Bordeaux from the 2009 vintage, one of the greatest 

years in the history of the region. These special wines 

have been aging in Châteaux cellars for over two years and, on 

September 29th, 2012, will be released in Signature Stores around 

the province. 

The near-perfect 2009 growing season in Bordeaux produced 

wines that have created excitement and anticipation around the 

world. Weather was warm and dry when it needed to be, creating 

dark fruit aromas and sweet, chewy tannins in the reds. Whites 

are luscious with ripe citrus and stone fruit aromas. 

In the modern world of Bordeaux, the hallmark of a truly 

great vintage is its consistency throughout appellations and 

pricepoints. It is expected that the First Growth Châteaux will 

make outstanding wines every year, but in years like 2009, even 

the Petits Châteaux can achieve greatness. Look to the Médoc 

and Graves to find wines with a backbone of Cabernet Sauvignon 

which, in this vintage, shows depth of fruit character and 

seductive tannins. Châteaux La Garde, Carbonnieux and Grand 

Puy Ducasse not only offer great value drinking now, but will 

hold and develop 5-10 years. For ripe red fruits, softer tannins and 

lushness on the palate, explore the Merlot-based wines from the 

Right Bank. Châteaux Fontenil, Fombrauge, Berliquet and Croix 

du Gay are silky and delicious. 

Little needs to be added about the top wines of the vintage, 

several of which received 100 points from respected journalist 

Robert Parker. Because of long standing ties with the Bordeaux 

merchants, BC Liquor Stores was able to secure allocations of 

Bordeaux 2009 1

are wines like Pétrus, Lafite Rothschild, Latour and Haut Brion. 

There is incredibly high demand for these Châteaux so bottle 

limits will apply on the day of the release. 

Compared to recent vintages of white Bordeaux, the 2009s 

are richer and plumper, with tropical aromas bringing an extra 

dimension to the classic citrus and mineral notes. Sauternes 

are particularly honeyed and complex. Arguably the most 

knowledgeable expert on Sauternes in the world, Bill Blatch, uses 

words like ‘fabulous’ and ‘stunning’ to describe the wines. While 

some of the famous sweet wines are not yet ready for release, BC 

Liquor Stores will have a select offering of Sauternes available, 

including Château Rieussec that received 95-97 points from 

Robert Parker. 

From September 29th, 2012, a wide selection of Bordeaux 2009 

will be available across the province. Participating stores include 

the 21 Signature Stores, Dunbar, Caulfield, Peninsula Village 

(Surrey) and Brighouse (Richmond). Our flagship location at 

39th & Cambie will carry the complete range of 2009 Bordeaux, 

with Park Royal, Fort Street (Victoria), Orchard Park (Kelowna) 

and Bute & Alberni also displaying enhanced selections. Product 

Consultants are available at all locations and will be pleased to 

assist you with your purchasing decision.

Bordeaux 2009

VinS ROUgES 

Château d’aiguilhe, Côtes de Castillon 

“Tiny yields of 20 hectoliters per hectare have produced a wine 

with terrific fruit intensity, a moderately tannic structure, and 

hints of chocolate, cedar, spice box, and earth. Enjoy it over the 

next 12 years.” 

90-92 pts, Wine Advocate 

150680 $58.00 

Château angélus, St Émilion 

“A candidate for one of the finest Angelus produced to date 

(and there have been many, including 1989, 1990, 2000 and 

2005), this blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc was 

fashioned from tiny yields of 20 hectoliters per hectare. It boasts 

a black/purple color along with a gorgeous perfume of blueberry 

liqueur, spring flowers and graphite. In the mouth, notes of 

incense and cassis also emerge from this velvety-textured, fullbodied, 

intensely concentrated 2009. With silky tannins, low 

acidity and spectacular purity, texture and depth, it is already 

approachable.” 

99 pts, Wine Advocate 

119990 $688.00 

Château d’angludet, Margaux 

“Ripe, fleshy and forward, with mouthfilling plum sauce, fig, 

raspberry confiture and blackberry pâte de fruit notes that are 

all harnessed by substantial but silky-textured tannins. The 

long, perfumy finish is open and inviting already. Drink now 

through 2022.” 

90 pts, Wine Spectator

published in this booklet, the product description and display price in the

date due to late shipping and customs processing. 


Château d’armailhac, Pauillac 

“The finest d’Armailhac I have tasted to date, the 2009 is largely 

Cabernet Sauvignon (60%) blended with a big wallop of Merlot 

(25%) and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Its dense 

purple color is followed by a big, sweet kiss of asphalt, black 

currants, mocha, barbecue smoke, cedar and spice. This medium 

to full-bodied, well-made, impressively endowed Pauillac 

should drink well for 20+ years.” 


148742 $78.00 

Château l’arrosée, St Émilion 

“Always one of the more delicate, Burgundian-styled St.- 

Émilions, the 2009 exhibits seductive, beautiful raspberry and 

black cherry fruit intermixed with hints of minerality as well as 

spicy oak. Lavishly concentrated, full and fresh, ethereal in both 

its texture and weight, and light on its feet, it can be drunk early 

in life yet has the stuffing and balance to last 20-25+ years.” 


150250 $80.00 

Château batailley, Pauillac 

“The finest Batailley I have had in many years, the dense 

purple-colored 2009 exhibits a boatload of tannin as well as 

sweet, caramelized, black currant fruit intermixed with hints 

of charcoal, cedarwood and smoke, a full-bodied mouthfeel 

and the aforementioned high, but sweet, well-integrated tannin 

displaying no jaggedness.” 


143024 $78.00 

6 


Château beau Séjour bécot, St Émilion 

“My favorite Beau-Séjour-Bécot to date, this sumptuous, dense 

blue/purple-hued 2009 reveals a blockbuster nose of blueberry 

pie, black fruits, licorice, forest floor, spring flowers and a hint 

of mocha. With an unctuous texture, full-bodied power and 

tremendous levels of tannin (largely concealed behind a cascade 

of rich fruit), this is a fabulous effort from a beautifully situated 

St.-Émilion premier grand cru classé. It will need 5-8 years of 

cellaring, and should keep for three decades.” 

94+ pts, Wine Advocate 

155432 $120.00 

Château beauséjour Duffau, St Émilion 

“This big wine is a blend of 77% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc 

and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon. It boasts an opaque blue/purple 

color along with a gorgeous bouquet of charcoal, incense, 

truffles, blackberry jam, black currants, raspberries and flowers. 

While enormous in the mouth, the limestone soils in which the 

grapes are grown give the wine good freshness as well as laserlike 

clarity and precision. Amazing to taste, this massive, superconcentrated 

powerhouse comes across as ethereal and almost 

feminine despite its extravagant fruit, density and richness.” 


150318 $399.00 

Château bélair Monange, St Émilion 

“This extraordinary terroir, now exploited by Edouard Moueix, 

the son of Christian, seems to be coming to life in a dramatic 

fashion. Never a hedonistic wine, but very intellectual, the 

2009 suggests a liqueur of crushed rocks intermixed with black 

currants and black cherries. Still somewhat closed, medium 

to full-bodied, and impressive rather than seductive, this is a 

structured wine that needs to be forgotten for at least a decade, 

and then drunk over the following 30+ years.” 


150730 $250.00 


Château bellevue, St. Émilion 

“Made under the guidance of Hubert du Bouard, this blend of 

primarily Merlot and a tiny dollop of Cabernet Franc (around 

9%) from the limestone soils on the hillsides of St.-Émilion 

exhibits a dense purple color, lots of chalky minerality and 

a big, sweet perfume of boysenberries, blackberries, licorice 

and burning embers. It is full-bodied and opulent with an 

abundance of fruit, glycerin, power and silkiness.” 


150698 $138.00 

Château belle-Vue, Haut-Médoc 

“In a somewhat tragic twist, this over-achieving cru bourgeois 

in Haut-Médoc has turned in its finest wine to date, an unfined 

cuvée made from 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 

20% Petit Verdot, created by the late proprietor Vincent Mulliez, 

who died suddenly last year. Sadly, this was his best effort. Notes 

of blackberries, black currants, licorice and a hint of toasty 

oak jump from the glass of this medium to full-bodied, wellendowed, 

impressively pure and textured wine. It should drink 

nicely for up to a decade.” 


891390 $35.00 

Château berliquet, St Émilion 

“The wine displays oodles of strawberry jam intermixed with 

kirsch, dusty, loamy soil notes, garrigue, spice box and vanillin. 

It is full-bodied, opulent, very flamboyant and showy, with a 

hint of chalky minerality to add complexity and precision. It 

should drink well for up to 15 or more years.” 


120493 $50.00 

8 


Château la bernadotte, Haut-Médoc 

“This blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon is 

one of the best wines to yet come from this estate, owned by 

the proprietors of Pichon Lalande in Pauillac. Juicy, succulent, 

cedary black currant fruit intermixed with licorice, herbs and 

spice box are very pure, authoritative and substantial. Dark ruby/ 

purple, medium to full-bodied and delicious, this wine should 

be drunk over the next 10-15 years. A sleeper.” 


011767 | 163717 | 184648 $29.00 

Château beychevelle, St Julien 

“The finest Beychevelle since the 2003 and probably since 

the 1982, Beychevelle’s 2009 is opaque purple in color, with 

a beautiful, floral nose intermixed with black currant fruit, 

licorice, cedar wood and Christmas fruitcake. Full-bodied yet 

still elegant and pure, this wine has velvety tannins, a broad, 

savory mouthfeel, and a very long finish. There is plenty of 

tannin behind the extravagant fruit, glycerin and texture of this 

wine, but it is largely concealed. This wine could actually turn 

out to be even better than my relatively conservative tasting 

note. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2042.” 


119214 $150.00 

Château bon Pasteur, Pomerol 

“A brilliant effort from well-known oenologists Dany and 

Michel Rolland, the 2009 Bon Pasteur is dominated by Merlot, 

with a touch of Cabernet Franc included in the blend. It reveals 

textbook notes of mocha, tobacco leaf, blackberries, black 

cherries, roasted coffee and wood smoke. Full-bodied and 

luscious with a succulent, beautifully textured, multidimensional 

mouthfeel, low acidity and sweet but noticeable tannin, it is 

reminiscent of the 1982 Bon Pasteur” 


496992 $188.00 


Château bourgneuf, Pomerol 

“This is all rounded, enticing flesh, with succulent boysenberry, 

cherry preserves, blackberry and fig notes melded together and 

supported by subtle spice and anise shadings through the finish. 

Ready to go, but with the stuffing to linger for a while in the 

cellar. Drink now through 2021.” –JM 


150789 $58.00 

Château branaire Ducru, St. Julien 

“Haut couture becomes a wine! This dense purple wine has 

the tell-tale notes of flowers and pencil shavings, and its broad 

aromatics are intense and totally captivating. Powerful, rich, and 

full, but less tannic than the 2005 and more opulent, this is a 

dazzling Branaire to drink between 2017-2035.” 


119354 $150.00 

Château brane Cantenac, Margaux 

“A spectacular effort from this estate rivaling their 2005, but 

more flashy/flamboyant, this dark ruby/purple wine has a 

strikingly intense nose of licorice, flowers, plums and dark 

berries. Medium to full-bodied, very approachable and silky, 

this suave, very sexy wine can be drunk early on as well as aged 

for 20+ years.” 


150300 $158.00 

Château branon, Pessac léognan 

“This magnificent, dense plum/purple-colored Pessac-Lognan 

reveals notes of scorched earth, burning embers, blackberries 

and truffles. Composed of Merlot and Cabernet Franc from a 

vineyard gorgeously situated between Malartic Lagraviere and 

Haut-Bailly, it possesses full-bodied power, a stunningly intense, 

voluptuous, layered mouthfeel and abundant levels of fruit, 

glycerin and tannin.” 


810192 $200.00 

10 


Château Calon Ségur, St estèphe 

“The 2009 has the highest percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon 

(90%) ever included in a Calon-Ségur (the rest is Merlot and 

Petit Verdot). Completely different from its St.-Estèphe brethren, 

it is more backward and structured with a dense purple color, 

lots of black cherry, black currant, loamy earth, forest floor 

and spice notes, excruciatingly high levels of tannin, and a 

wonderful inner core of sweetness and concentration.” 


118778 $158.00 

Château Cantemerle, Haut-Médoc 

“Dense ruby/purple (nearly opaque), this wine offers up notes 

of lead pencil shavings, spring flowers, raspberries and black 

cherries. The wine is ethereal, medium-bodied, and by no 

means a blockbuster, but long and intellectual.” 


117515 $70.00 

Château Cantenac, St Émilion 

“This thick, smooth red delivers earth and cola flavors, with 

notes of herb and tobacco. The tannins are a bit grippy, but the 

finish opens into notes of rose and vanilla. Drink now through 

2017. 3,900 cases made.” 


479915 $25.00 

Château Cantenac brown, Margaux 

“This is perfumy and very pure, with lovely lilac and blackberry 

aromas followed by plum, cassis and black cherry fruit. The 

supple finish is caressed with toast that leaves a lingering, 

perfumy feel. Best from 2013 through 2023.” 


163725 $98.00 


Château Cap de Faugères, Côtes de Castillon 

“The 2009 is possibly the best Cap de Faugères yet made, a 

sleeper of the vintage, and a realistically priced one at that. A 

blend of 85% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Cabernet 

Sauvignon that hit 14% natural alcohol, the wine displays loads 

of charcoal, blackberry, espresso roast and white chocolate. It is 

full-bodied, unctuously textured, with very sweet tannin and 

stunning purity, texture and length. “ 


664045 $28.00 

Château Carbonnieux, Pessac léognan 

“A classic Pessac-Léognan, the 2009 Carbonnieux possesses 

aromas of sweet black currants and cherries intermixed with 

hints of roasted herbs, unsmoked cigar tobacco, charcoal and 

licorice. Medium to full-bodied with more concentration than 

many vintages, this surprisingly fleshy effort has more poundage 

and glycerin than this normally light-styled Bordeaux has 

offered in the past.” 


148007 $68.00 

Château Carignan ‘Prima’, Côtes de bordeaux 

“Black olive and berry aromas follow through to a full 

body, with velvety tannins and a long finish. I like the fruit 

concentration in this wine. 100 percent Merlot.” 

89-92 pts, Wine Spectator 

614990 $28.00 

Château Carillon d’angélus, St Émilion 

“Essentially the second wine of Angelus, but coming from a 

separate parcel that no longer goes into the grand vin Angelus, this 

blend of equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Franc hit 14% natural 

alcohol. It is a soft, fruity, front end-loaded wine with plenty of 

berry fruit, underbrush and herbs as well as a hint of coffee and 

some loamy soil notes. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.” 


392795 $98.00 

12 


Château Carruades de lafite, Pauillac 

“A very strong effort, the 2009 Carruades de Lafite may be 

the finest Carruades since the 2003. A blend of 50% Cabernet 

Sauvignon, 42% Merlot and tiny amounts of Cabernet Franc 

and Petit Verdot, it reveals lots of sweet cassis intermixed with 

subtle smoke and forest floor, undeniable lusciousness and 

full-bodied hedonism. The wood component is pushed to the 

background, and the wine is extremely viscous, round and 

delicious. Additional complexity should continue to emerge 

over the next decade and this 2009 should keep for 20-30 years.” 


119180 | 148171 $588.00 

Château Certan de May, Pomerol 

“A bruising, black/purple-hued, full-bodied wine, the 2009 

Certan de May displays notes of charcuterie, smoked game, 

herbs, black truffles, roasted meats, cassis and black cherries. 

This backward, robustly-styled Pomerol is loaded with tannin 

as well as extract. Give this full, powerful 2009 a decade of 

cellaring and drink it over the following 30+ years.” 


015081 $175.00 

Château Chasse Spleen, Moulis 

“This polished, precise red exhibits delicious mulled black cherry, 

sleek cassis and dark plum fruit all inlaid with hints of toasted 

spice and mesquite. A nice flash of chalk helps give the finish 

cut. Drink now through 2015.” 


117507 $50.00 


Château Cheval blanc, St.Émilion 

“A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, the 2009 

Cheval Blanc tips the scales at just under 14% natural alcohol. 

Its dense blue/purple color is accompanied by an extraordinary 

nose of incense, raspberries, cassis, sweet forest floor and a subtle 

hint of menthol. Opulent and full-bodied with low acidity but 

no sense of heaviness, this dense, unctuously textured, supersmooth, 

velvety, pure, profound Cheval Blanc is impossible to 

resist despite its youthfulness.” 


150334 $2,800.00 

le Clarence de Haut brion, Pessac léognan 

“This 7,000-case cuvée is a blend of 46% Merlot, 39% Cabernet 

Sauvignon and the rest small quantities of Petit Verdot and 

Cabernet Franc. Once again the burning ember/scorched earth 

characteristic that often comes from Haut-Brion is found in the 

second wine, along with more kirsch and cassis, fewer nuances 

and less complexity than its bigger sibling. The wine is fullbodied 

with the minerality offered by this terroir as well as 

plenty of sweet tannins.” 


148361 $200.00 

Château Clerc Milon, Pauillac 

“Juicy and nicely framed with a singed bay leaf note, which 

allows the medium-weight core of crushed plum and mulled fig 

to glide along nicely through the velvety finish. This fleshes out 

considerably as it sits in the glass, showing more layers of dark 

fruit and lingering minerality. This has some power in reserve, 

but lovely balance as well.” 


148759 | 669986 $100.00 

14 


Château Clinet, Pomerol 

“Clinet has been on a hot streak lately and the 2009 appears to 

be the greatest wine ever made at the estate, surpassing even the 

late Jean-Michel Arcaute’s monumental 1989. A blend of 85% 

Merlot and tiny amounts of Cabernet Franc (12%) and Cabernet 

Sauvignon (3%), this big Pomerol boasts an opaque, moonless 

night inky/blue/purple color in addition to a gorgeous perfume 

of blueberry pie, incense, truffles, black raspberries, licorice and 

wood smoke. Viscous and multi-dimensional with silky, sweet 

tannin, massive fruit concentration and full-bodied power, there 

are nearly 4,000 cases of this thick, juicy, perfect Clinet.” 


119461 $388.00 

Château Clos Fourtet, St Émilion 

“Inky blue/purple with notes of camphor, forest floor, blackberry, 

cassis, sweet cherries, licorice, the wine has stunning aromatics, 

unctuous texture and an almost inky concentration, but without 

any hard edges. With considerable tannin and just enough 

acidity to provide definition, this wine transcends even its 

premier grand cru classé terroir. It is certainly the finest Clos 

Fourtet ever produced.” 


150482 $288.00 

Château Clos des lunelles, Côtes de Castillon 

“This is a gorgeous effort, made from a blend of 80% Merlot and 

the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Cropped at 22 

hectoliters per hectare from their clay over limestone soils, the 

wine displays oodles of new oak, crushed chalk, and blueberry 

and blackberry fruit with hints of raspberries and pen ink. It is 

full-bodied and layered, with a fleshy, even succulent mid-palate 

and a long, long finish. This is terrific Castillon to drink over 

the next 10-15+ years.” 


676718 $58.00 


Clos de Marquis, St Julien 

“This blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 

the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot from Jean-Hubert 

Delon is a beauty. Crème de cassis notes intermixed with some 

vanillin, crushed rock and spring flowers jump from the glass. 

Full-bodied and powerful (nearly 14% natural alcohol), this is a 

generously endowed, rich wine that was first made in 1902. The 

2009 should drink well for 20-25 years.” 


150375 $98.00 

Château Clos l’Église, Pomerol 

“The 2009 is one of the sexiest wines in Pomerol in this vintage, 

offering up notes of melted caramel, sweet mocha, blackberry 

and black cherry fruit, with hints of loamy soil and unsmoked 

cigar tobacco as well as a touch of white chocolate and some 

subtle toasty oak. Round, opulent and unctuously textured, 

with a full-bodied mouthfeel, fabulous purity, and no hard 

edges, this sumptuous, fleshy, lavishly rich Pomerol can be 

drunk now and over the next 25 years.” 


464446 $328.00 

Connetable de talbot, St Julien 

“Solid, with briar, blackberry and cassis fruit framed by modest, 

supple toast. Ends with a sleek, open-knit finish. Drink now” 


119073 $29.00 

16 


Château Cos d’estournel, St. estèphe 

“One of the greatest young wines I have ever tasted, the 

monumental 2009 Cos d’Estournel has lived up to its pre-bottling 

potential. A remarkable effort from winemaking guru Jean- 

Guillaume Prats and owner Michel Reybier, this blend of 65% 

Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot (33%) and a touch of 

Cabernet Franc (2%) was cropped at 33 hectoliters per hectare. 

It boasts an inky/black/purple color along with an extraordinary 

bouquet of white flowers interwoven with blackberry and 

blueberry liqueur, incense, charcoal and graphite.” 


120022 $888.00 

Château Croix de gay, Pomerol 

“A blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc from this wellsituated 

vineyard on the plateau of Pomerol, which is owned by 

Chantal Lebreton, this wine has 13.5% alcohol, somewhat low in 

this vintage, but it displays plenty of kirsch, sweet cherries and red 

currants along with some sandy/loamy soil and roasted herb notes 

in a very sexy, up-front, lush, medium to full-bodied style.” 


368183 $50.00 

Château Croix Mouton, bordeaux Supérieur 

20 Mille 

“Blackberry and mineral, with hints of fresh herbs. Full-bodied, 

with a lovely concentration of fruit and silky tannins. Long and 

pretty. So juicy. 100 percent Merlot.” 


749424 $28.00 

Château Côte Montpezat, Côtes de Castillon 

“This sports a ripe, direct beam of plum cake and fig sauce 

backed by lively tobacco and toasty spice notes that linger easily 

through the finish. Drink now through 2013.” 


011510 | 120642 $25.00 


le Défi de Fontenil, Pomerol 

“The (2009) non-vintage Le Défi de Fontenil is a smaller cuvée 

that is very similar, as one might expect, as it comes from the 

same vineyard and has largely the same overall winemaking 

philosophy behind it, but it exhibits slightly more tannin and 

wood influence and is more backward and in need of several 

years of cellaring. Both of these wines have a good 10-15 years 

of potential in a fine cellar.” 


382689 $188.00 

Domaine de Chevalier, Pessac léognan 

“The 2009, one of the finest Domaine de Chevaliers yet 

produced, reveals a striking bouquet of burning embers, sweet 

cherry, black and red currant fruit, spice box, cedar and lead 

pencil shavings. The tannins are sweet in this fleshy, full-bodied 

offering. It is built on the notion of extraordinary harmony, 

elegance and complexity.” 


97725 $150.00 

Château la Dominique, St Émilion 

“This has much of the style of the 1990, with supple tannin and 

loads of spicy fruitcake, licorice, cassis and kirsch-like notes that 

jump from this dense ruby/purple wine. Fat, fleshy and fullbodied, 

with beautiful richness, purity and length, this wine 

will be approachable in its youth yet last for two decades.” 


150409 $80.00 

18 


Château Ducru beaucaillou, St Julien 

“A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot that 

achieved 13.5% natural alcohol, this inky purple, unctuous wine 

possesses classic aromas of graphite, crème de cassis, blueberries, 

violets, licorice and Christmas fruitcake. Full-bodied and 

intense with Ducru’s inimitable elegance and purity, it should 

firm up in the bottle after 7-10 years of cellaring and last for 40- 

50 years. Magnificent!” 


150417 $580.00 

Château l’Église Clinet, Pomerol 

“A riveting wine, pure, elegant, but at the same time, extremely 

powerful and concentrated, with stunning texture, opulence 

and density, the tannins are abundant, and the wine certainly 

in need of a decade of cellaring. Fabulous crème de cassis and 

cherry liqueur notes are intertwined with hints of licorice, 

truffle, and graphite. Full and rich, but still in an infantile state 

of development, this wine needs to be cellared for 10 years but 

should keep for five decades or more. This 2009 is absolutely 

profound.” 


014514 $800.00 

Château Faizeau Vieilles Vignes, 

Montagne St Émilion 

“A major sleeper of the vintage and one of the best wines ever 

from Faizeau, this wine displays an abundance of black currant, 

black cherry and smoky, earthy fruit, a full-bodied mouthfeel, 

silky tannins, low acidity, and a long finish. A big-time overachiever, 

it should drink well for up to a decade.” 


145151 $28.00 


Château Figeac, St Émilion 

“Distinctive, with atypical (for St.-Émilion) force and drive to 

the black currant, roasted cedar and maduro tobacco flavors, 

which are supported by a dense, loam-tinged structure. Terrific 

roasted espresso, ganache and fig paste notes wait in reserve. 

Very muscular, but with the cut for balance. Best from 2017 



120261 $399.00 

Château la Fleur de boüard, 

lalande de Pomerol 

“Over-achievers in short, the 2009 La Fleur de Bouard is 

fabulous, with notes of blueberry, plum, licorice, white flowers 

and camphor followed by a full-bodied, well-endowed, textured, 

supple wine. Stunningly concentrated, yet silky and seductive, it 

should be drunk over the next 10+ years.”

Château Fleur de gay, Pomerol 

“As always, there is an elegance to the La Fleur de Gay, but 

the tell-tale flowery, raspberry jam, and blueberry pie notes 

jump from the glass along with hints of graphite and truffle. 

Deep, rich, full-bodied and textured, with sweet tannin 

and a stunning elegance and purity, this beauty that can be 

approached now or cellared for 20-25 years.”

Château la Fleur Pétrus, Pomerol 

“Even with considerable youthful characteristics, this stunning, 

open-knit 2009 is quite approachable. This fabled terroir 

sandwiched between Pétrus and Lafleur (hence the name) 

generally produces one of the more elegantly-styled Pomerols, 

but in 2009 it offers an extra dimension of flavor intensity as well 

as more texture and concentration. It reveals a super-seductive 

perfume of mocha, loamy soil, herbs, black cherries and black 

currants, truffles and licorice, full body and velvety tannins.” 


150813 $300.00 

Château Fombrauge, St Émilion 

“The 2009 Fombrauge has the potential to be the finest wine 

ever made at this property. It was picked very late in 2009, and 

the result is a powerhouse wine with an inky blue/purple color 

and the smell of pen ink, acacia flowers, blueberries, black 

raspberries and cassis. The wine hit 15% natural alcohol, which 

gives it lots of glycerin as well as a full-bodied intensity, while 

the low yields of 27 hectoliters per hectare have provided a 

striking level of concentration and length. This is very serious 

wine from an estate that is on the upswing. It should benefit 

from 3-5 years of cellaring and keep for two decades.” 


011759 $55.00 

Château Fontenil, Fronsac 

“The basic Fontenil (95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon) 

has a deep bluish purple color and relatively hefty alcohol 

at 14.5%, but it is not noticeable in this full-bodied, layered, 

opulent wine, with lots of black raspberry fruit intermixed with 

some blueberries and crushed rock.” 


319947 $49.00 


Château Forts de latour, Pauillac 

“The 2009 Les Forts de Latour is composed of two-thirds 

Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot blended with a tiny 

dollop of Petit Verdot, and finished at 13.5% alcohol. Juicy 

notes of crème de cassis, licorice, camphor, smoke and crushed 

rocks are followed by a rich, unctuously textured, thick, juicy, 

exceptionally pure, long wine. This beauty will be at its finest in 

several years and should keep for three decades.” 


148957 $300.00 

Château la gaffelière, St Émilion 

“Composed of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon (in 

the past it was two-thirds Merlot and the rest split between 

Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc), the 2009 reveals 

compelling elegance, tremendous intensity and opulence 

and more viscosity than one normally sees. While I thought 

the alcohol was well past 14%, the Château claims it is only 

13.5%, which is relatively modest in this vintage. Lots of kirsch, 

licorice, incense, truffle, asphalt, blackberry and cassis notes 

dominate the aromatics and flavors of this full-bodied, viscous, 

fabulously pure, flamboyant St.-Émilion. Drinking it now may 

be considered infanticide by some consumers, but it is already 

attractive, and should last for 3-4 decades.” 


150490 $150.00 

Château la garde, Pessac léognan 

“Silky yet solid, this focused red delivers plenty of black cherry, 

currant, tobacco and spice flavors, with a firm texture, wellintegrated 

tannins and lively acidity. The long finish carries 

toast, mineral and floral notes. Best from 2013 through 2023.” 


448738 $39.00 

22 


Château gazin, Pomerol 

“A big, powerful, masculine Pomerol with a style not dissimilar 

from Le Gay, the dense purple-colored 2009 Gazin exhibits 

black currant, black cherry liqueur, coffee, roasted herb, an 

exotic Asian spice component, vanillin, crème caramel and 

toasty oak in its aromatics and flavors.” 


150896 $150.00 

Château giscours, Margaux 

“The finest Giscours in my professional career (I said the same 

thing from barrel), this dense purple wine has a stunning nose 

of burning embers, charcoal, crème de cassis, new saddle leather 

and damp, forest floor notes. It is full-bodied, with exceptionally 

sweet, well-integrated tannins and a multi-dimensional, almost 

skyscraper-like mid-palate and finish.” 


145284 $139.00 

Château du glana, St Julien 

“Sleek, with good winey currant, blackberry and graphite notes 

and a long, anise-tinged finish. Not big, but pure and racy.” 


146514 | 813493 $39.00 

Château gloria, St Julien 

“A dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by an expressive, 

flamboyant bouquet of black fruits, Christmas spices, licorice 

and roasted Provencal herbs. Fuller-bodied, more concentrated 

and extracted than most vintages with soft tannins, its low 

acidity and a sumptuous, plump style remind me of a modern 

day version of the 1982 (which is fully mature but still in great 

shape). The 2009 Gloria is a very smart purchase for those 

looking to maximize their buying power. In fact, this may be 

the value of the vintage.” 


148833 $78.00 


Château gracia, St. Émilion 

“A slightly more evolved and fleshy effort, the inky/purple-hued 

2009 (75 % Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet 

Sauvignon) is a massive, thick powerhouse with 14.5% natural 

alcohol. Blueberry, blackberry, licorice, forest floor, smoke and 

graphite aromas jump from the glass of this unctuously textured, 

layered, multidimensional St.-Émilion. Displaying an inner core 

of extract (yields were only 19 hectoliters per hectare) and not 

a hard edge to be found, this youthful 2009 tastes more like a 

barrel sample than a finished wine.” 


145292 $299.00 

Château les grands Chênes, Médoc 

“One of the cru bourgeois estates in the empire of Bernard 

Magrez, this may possibly be the best wine Les Grands Chenes 

has yet made. From old vines (average age 45) in the very 

northern part of the Médoc, the final blend of 51% Merlot, 43% 

Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc hit 14% natural 

alcohol. The wine displays loads of espresso roast, black chocolate, 

crème de cassis, forest floor and tobacco leaf in a full-bodied, 

opulent, and flamboyant style. Dense, rich and deep in fruit, it 

exhibits the plush, silky tannins that are a signature of Michel 

Rolland, the overall consultant for all of the Magrez estates.” 


011742 $39.00 

Château grand Corbin Despagne, St Émilion 

“This is rock-solid, with cocoa, fig and blackberry notes rolled 

together, framed by dense but polished structure and all 

weaving nicely through the lightly grippy finish. Best from 

2013 through 2022.” 


357608 $50.00 

24 


Château grand Puy lacoste, Pauillac 

“This is a great classic from Xavier Borie’s estate situated on the 

back roads west of the town of Pauillac. Its dense ruby/purple 

color is followed by hints of spring flowers, crushed rocks, black 

currants, cedar and earth/underbrush. Precise and elegant as well 

as backward and foreboding, it should put on weight in the bottle 

and evolve for two decades. Very concentrated as well as velvetytextured, 

it is a beauty of finesse, balance, purity and nobility.” 


150524 $158.00 

Château la grave à Pomerol, Pomerol 

“A well-structured version, with a spine of charcoal and graphite 

supporting the dark, fleshy blackberry, fig paste and mulled 

black currant fruit. Offers a racy edge, with flickers of anise and 

incense on the finish. Shows lovely mouthfeel as this expands in 

the glass. Best from 2013 through 2025.” 


150771 $68.00 

Château gruaud larose, St Julien 

“The 2009 appears to be the finest Gruaud Larose since their 1990. 

Some of my concerns about too much brett in previous vintages 

are long gone as the purity of the 2009 jumps out. Copious notes 

of sagebrush, cedar, cigar box, licorice, incense, blackberries and 

lead pencil shavings suggest a big Pauillac rather than a St.-Julien. 

Broad, rich and full-bodied with good balance and abundant, but 

sweet, well-integrated tannin, this big, masculine Gruaud Larose 

reveals remarkable finesse, richness, extract, density and a cascade 

of fruit that nearly hides the lofty tannins.” 


150532 $128.00 


Château Haut bages libéral, Pauillac 

“Probably the finest Haut-Bages Libéral since the 1982, this 

beautifully rich wine has an inky purple color, a big, sweet kiss 

of crème de cassis, incense, some background spicy oak and 

forest floor. Its gorgeous fruit, full-bodied opulence, impressive 

purity, expansive texture and broad, savory finish make for a 

terrific wine to drink over the next 25+ years.” 


150607 $80.00 

Château Haut bailly, Pessac léognan 

“A dense ruby/purple-tinged color offers up notes of forest floor, 

subtle wood smoke, mulberries, black cherries, cassis and a hint 

of lead pencil shavings. There is even a floral component lurking 

in the intricate aromatic profile. The wine is medium to fullbodied 

with wonderful intensity that builds incrèmentally and 

has a long, silky, luscious finish.” 


150599 | 155382 $259.00 

Château Haut batailley, Pauillac 

“A taut, sinewy style, with lots of roasted cedar, espresso and 

steeped black currant notes. Stays tangy through the finish, with 

an iron edge hanging on. There’s enough purity and length to 

wait this out for a bit. Best from 2014 through 2024.” 


155200 $65.00 

Château Haut bergey, Pessac léognan 

“The opaque ruby/purple-colored 2009 reveals notes of scorched 

earth/burning embers/charcoal, black currants, ripe cherries 

and lead pencil shavings. Full-bodied and pure with sweet 

tannin, this is an under-the-radar, high quality claret to drink 

over the next 20-25 years.” 


117721 $70.00 

26 


Château Haut brion, Pessac léognan 

“What a blockbuster effort! Atypically powerful, one day, 

the 2009 Haut-Brion may be considered to be the 21st 

century version of the 1959. It is an extraordinarily complex, 

concentrated effort made from a blend of 46% Merlot, 40% 

Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Cabernet Franc with the highest 

alcohol ever achieved at this estate, 14.3%.” 


145375 $1,800.00 

120246 (1.5L) $3,800.00 

Château Hosanna, Pomerol 

“There is a lovely plush feel here, with roasted tobacco and fig 

notes carried by velvety tannins. Deceptively dense, with darker 

currant and anise notes blossoming through the finish, which 

still manages to stay supple and rounded. This steadily opens in 

the glass. Best from 2013 through 2028.” 


150821 $250.00 

Château d’issan, Margaux 

“A strong effort from proprietor Emmanuel Cruse, d’Issan’s 

2009 was fashioned from minuscule yields of 18 hectoliters per 

hectare, and its 13.7% natural alcohol set a record at this estate. 

Composed of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon and 38% Merlot, it 

exhibits a classic Margaux fragrance of acacia flowers/violets, 

blueberries, cassis, licorice and camphor.” 


163774 $129.00 

119479 (1.5L) $360.00 


Château Joanin bécot, Côtes de Castillon 

“An intense wine from the Bécot family (Michel Rolland is 

the consultant), this blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet 

Franc was cropped at a very low 25.5. hectoliters per hectare. 

The wine has an opaque ruby/purple color and a big, projected 

nose of red and black fruits, toasty oak, graphite, and a hint of 

burning embers.” 


145391 $39.00 

Château kirwan, Margaux 

“A big, powerful Margaux that should age for 20+ years, this 

inky purple-colored wine exhibits notes of spring flowers 

intermixed with blackberries, raspberries and cassis. Some lead 

pencil shavings and toasty oak are also present in this powerful 

yet at the same time very pure, textured, full-throttle Kirwan. 

It needs about 5-7 years of cellaring and will be among the 

longest-lived wines of the vintage.” 


150946 $100.00 

Château lafite rothschild, Pauillac 

“A tight, but potentially gorgeous nose of graphite, black 

currants, licorice and camphor is followed by a full-bodied 

wine revealing the classic elegance, purity and delineated style 

of Lafite. It is phenomenally concentrated with softer tannins 

than the 2005, the 2003’s voluptuous, broad, juicy personality, 

and low acidity. There are several vintages that I thought were 

a replay of their colossal 1959, most notably 1982 and 2003, but 

2009 is also one to keep an eye on.” 


016378 | 119149 $2,000.00

Château laFleur gazin, Pomerol 

“Nicely packed and well-delineated, this shows a lovely beam 

of linzer torte and cassis running through the middle, with 

mouthwatering spice and mesquite filling in on the side. Rocksolid 

on the finish. Best from 2013 through 2025.” 


150763 $65.00 

Château lafon rochet, St estèphe 

“Juicy and very lively, with lots of briar, currant, cherry, toasty 

spice and anise notes all framed by bright floral and iron hints. 

The long finish has excellent cut and drive. Best from 2013 

through 2021. 11,250 cases made.” 


118661 $88.00 

Château lagrange, St Julien 

“This has a solid core of juicy plum, red currant and blackberry 

fruit that sits in reserve, while mouthwatering briar and toasty 

spice notes move along the edges. Grippy and focused through 

the finish, with well-embedded acidity. Best from 2013 through 

2024. 22,500 cases made.” 


150623 $99.00 

Château la lagune, Haut-Médoc 

“It boasts a dense purple color as well as a beautiful perfume of 

blueberries, mulberries, cassis, white chocolate and subtle toasty 

oak. Notes of Chinese black tea, cedarwood and forest floor also 

make an appearance in the singular aromatic and flavor profiles. 

This sumptuous, full-bodied La Lagune possesses low acidity, 

abundant but ripe, sweet tannin and a long, 45-second finish. 

Give this beauty 5-7 years of bottle age and drink it over the 

following three decades.” 


150631 $120.00 

Bordeaux 2009 29

Château larcis Ducasse, St Émilion 

“A complex set of aromas ranging from coffee to forest floor, 

herbs, licorice, blackberries, cassis and cherries all seem to jump 

from the glass, and then are joined by a hint of charcoal as well 

camphor. This is an impressive, full-bodied, dense, concentrated 

wine that is more up-front and approachable than the 2005 was 

at a similar stage, but it is remarkably expressive, full-bodied, 

dense and capable of lasting 20-25 years.” 


131037 $128.00 

Château larrivet Haut brion, Pessac léognan 

“A sensational wine from this Pessac-Leognan estate, the 2009 

possesses notes of charcoal, graphite, roasted herbs, truffles, spice 

box, and luxurious quantities of black currant and black cherry 

fruit. Full-bodied, impressively endowed. and well under the 

radar for most consumers, this outstanding wine is a sleeper of 

the vintage and well worth buying.” 


163808 $58.00 

Château lascombes, Margaux 

“The 2009, which is inky blue/purple to the rim, is a final blend 

of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 48% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot at 

14% natural alcohol. The wine has a beautiful blueberry-scented 

nose with hints of acacia flowers, licorice, graphite and some 

subtle charcoal and background oak. Clearly a modern style of 

Margaux, it is pure, seamless, full-bodied and opulent, and the 

high glycerin and silky texture of 2009 are brilliantly displayed 

in this wine.” 


120196 $199.00

Château latour, Pauillac 

“An elixir of momentous proportions, it boasts a dense purple 

color as well as an extraordinarily flamboyant bouquet of black 

fruits, graphite, crushed rocks, subtle oak and a notion of wet 

steel. It hits the palate with a thundering concoction of thick, 

juicy blue and black fruits, lead pencil shavings and a chalky 

minerality. Full-bodied, but very fresh with a finish that lasts 

over a minute, this is one of the most remarkable young wines I 

have ever tasted.” 


148254 | 119909 | 163832 $2,000.00 

Château latour à Pomerol, Pomerol 

“A nice, old-school style, with roasted mesquite, tobacco leaf 

and espresso flavors up front, following through to bittersweet 

ganache and mulled dark currant notes on the still-slightly taut, 

but well-framed, finish.” 


150797 $128.00 

Château léoville barton, St Julien 

“This is powerful Cabernet, with gutsy weight, but polished feel 

to the fresh plum, warm blackberry sauce, bittersweet ganache 

and roasted apple wood notes. Long and tarry through the 

finish, but still invigorating despite its heft. Will need some time 

to round fully into form. Best from 2017 through 2035.” 


148924 | 162545 $178.00 


Château léoville las Cases, St. Julien 

“This blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and the 

rest Cabernet Franc was showing brilliantly at the 2009 tasting I 

did in It boasts an inky/purple color, monumental concentration 

and lots of sweet, jammy black currant, black cherry and kirsch 

fruit intermixed with crushed rock and mineral notes. As always, 

proprietor Jean-Hubert Delon has built a massive wine with 

exceptional precision, unbelievable purity and aging potential 

of 40-50 years. I was surprised by the lusciousness of this cuvée 

on several occasions, and how much more forward it is given 

the fact that Las Cases can often be forebodingly backward and 

in need of 10-15 years of cellaring (at age 30, the 1982 is still a 

baby in terms of development!).” 


155630 $588.00 

Château léoville Poyferré, St Julien 

“One of the more flamboyant and sumptuous wines of the 

vintage, this inky/purple-colored St.-Julien reveals thrilling 

levels of opulence, richness and aromatic pleasures. A soaring 

bouquet of crème de cassis, charcoal, graphite and spring flowers 

is followed by a super-concentrated wine with silky tannins, 

stunning amounts of glycerin, a voluptuous, multilayered 

mouthfeel and nearly 14% natural alcohol.” 


119834 | 148908 $288.00 

Château lilian ladouys, St estèphe 

“On the toasty, more modern side of the spectrum, with ambitious 

roasted fig, apple wood and blueberry confiture notes followed by 

racy graphite, espresso and blackberry pâte de fruit. Not shy, but 

has the density for balance. Best from 2013 through 2024.” 


145482 | 146506 | 760868 $38.00 

32 


Château lynch bages, Pauillac 

“A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest largely 

Merlot with touches of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it is 

an expressive, voluptuously textured effort with unctuosity 

and powerful, juicy, succulent blackberry and black currant 

flavors, low acids, a layered, massive mouthfeel, but no sense of 

heaviness or fatigue. This exquisite Lynch Bages should drink 

well for 30+ years.” 


145490 $200.00 

Château Magdelaine, St Émilion 

“Eighty percent of this vineyard sits on the limestone plateau and 

20% on the hillsides, and the 2009 displays a classic confiture of 

black cherries, some crushed rocks and spring flowers in a fullbodied, 

yet at the same time, ethereal and rather elegant style. 

The wine has gorgeous fruit purity, a broad, luscious texture, 

and more density and richness than one normally finds in this 

somewhat finesse-styled wine, which seems to have achieved 

more depth and potential in 2009.” 


015073 $99.00 

Château Malescot de St. exupery, Margaux 

“An inky/purple color is followed by notes of Asian plum 

sauce, forest floor, crème de cassis, black raspberries and a floral 

component that is unusual for a Margaux. A wine of exceptional 

intensity and purity with a full-bodied, sumptuous texture, lots 

of fresh vibrancy and excellent definition, this beautiful 2009 

exhibits high but sweet tannin.” 


119438 $160.00 


Château Margaux, Margaux 

“The 2009 Château Margaux is made from 87% Cabernet 

Sauvignon and the rest primarily Merlot with small amounts of 

Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Abundant blueberry, cassis and 

acacia flower as well as hints of charcoal and forest floor aromas 

that are almost Burgundian in their complexity are followed 

by a wine displaying sweet, well-integrated tannins as well as 

a certain ethereal lightness despite the wine’s overall size. Rich, 

round, generous and unusually approachable for such a young 

Margaux, this 2009 should drink well for 30-35+ years.” 


119974 | 155572 $1,800.00 

119982 (1.5L) $3,800.00 

Château Marquis de terme, Margaux 

“A bright, ripe style, with very fresh crushed plum, raspberry and 

blackberry fruit wrapped in silky tannins and laced with hints 

of anise and black tea. The rounded finish has modest grip for 

mid-term cellaring. Drink now through 2020.” 


120436 $58.00 

Château Meyney, St estèphe 

“The finest wine made at this estate since 1982, this opaque black 

wine is a sleeper of the vintage, with oodles of blackberry fruit 

interwoven with hints of charcoal, forest floor, licorice and damp 

earth. Deep, rich, chewy, full-bodied and opulent, this is a fabulous 

Meyney that, because of its low acidity and very ripe tannin, can be 

drunk in 3-4 years or cellared for two decades. Bravo!” 


148783 $58.00

Château la Mission Haut brion, 

Pessac léognan 

“A candidate for the wine of the vintage, the 2009 La Mission- 

Haut-Brion stood out as one of the most exceptional young wines 

I had ever tasted from barrel, and its greatness has been confirmed 

in the bottle. A blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and 

Merlot (47% of each) and the rest Cabernet Franc, it exhibits an 

opaque purple color as well as a magnificent bouquet of truffles, 

scorched earth, blackberry and blueberry liqueur, subtle smoke 

and spring flowers. The wine’s remarkable concentration offers up 

an unctuous/viscous texture, a skyscraper-like mouthfeel, sweet, 

sumptuous, nearly over-the-top flavors and massive density.” 


120170 $1,800.00 

Château Monbousquet, St Émilion 

“This exuberant, flamboyant, modern-styled St.-Émilion from 

Gerard and Chantal Perse is plump, succulent and irresistible in 

2009. Yields were a low 28 hectoliters per hectare, and the blend 

was a classic combination of 70% Merlot and the rest primarily 

Cabernet Franc and a tiny dollop of Cabernet Sauvignon. 

Copious notes of toasty oak, vanillin, jammy black and red 

fruits intermixed with notions of wood fire barbecue, roasted 

espresso and chocolate jump from the glass of this fleshy, exotic, 

impressively endowed, full-bodied, silky smooth, opulent 2009.” 


854737 $80.00 


Château Montrose, St estèphe 

“With 13.7% alcohol (an all-time high at Montrose), it is a blend 

of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot and the rest tiny 

quantities of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Some structure 

and minerality can be detected in the background, but the 

overall impression is one of massive blackberry, black currant 

and mulberry fruit intermixed with forest floor, damp earth, 

crushed rocks and a hint of spring flowers. Full-bodied with 

sweet but abundant tannin, Jean-Bernard Delmas believes this 

is the greatest wine he has made during his short tenure at 

Montrose since retiring from Haut-Brion.” 


155507 $500.00 

Château Mouton rothschild, Pauillac 

“The 2009 Mouton Rothschild has a striking label from Anish 

Kapoor. Representing 50% of their production, the wine has 

an inky purple color to the rim and not terribly high alcohol 

for a 2009 (13.2%), but that is reflected by the high percentage 

of Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a remarkable nose of lead pencil 

shavings, violets, crème de cassis and subtle barrique smells. 

It is stunningly opulent, fat, and super-concentrated, but the 

luxurious fruit tends to conceal some rather formidable tannins 

in the finish. This is an amazing wine that will be slightly 

more drinkable at an earlier age than I thought from barrel, but 

capable of lasting 50 or more years.”

011965 (1.5L) $3,800.00

les Pagodes de Cos, St estèphe 

“The brilliant 2009 Les Pagodes de Cos actually has more 

Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend than the grand vin (69% versus 

65%) in addition to mostly Merlot and a small quantity of Petit 

Verdot. As powerful as the Cos in terms of alcoholic clout (14.5%), 

the full-bodied, round, generous Les Pagodes de Cos exhibits lots 

of crème de cassis and floral notes intermixed with hints of wood/ 

barrique and spice. Juicy, succulent and remarkably fresh and 

well-delineated, it merits considerable attention from consumers.” 


163873 $118.00 

Château Palmer, Margaux 

“An opaque blue/black color suggests a wine with thrilling 

levels of concentration and intensity, and That’s exactly what a 

taster gets. Subtle smoke, incense and Asian spice (soy?) notes 

interwoven with graphite, blueberry, blackberry and cassis 

characteristics lead to a full-bodied, phenomenally concentrated, 

viscous, opulent wine with plenty of sweet tannin.” 


146597 $580.00 

Château Pape Clement, Pessac léognan 

“A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 5% 

Cabernet Franc with a modest 13.5% alcohol, the 2009 reveals 

considerable structure and tannin along with tell-tale notes 

of burning embers, scorched earth, graphite, blueberries, 

blackberries and toasty vanillin, and a full-bodied mouthfeel. 

This rich, full offering is surprisingly backward. This cuvée 

should drink well in 5-6 years as one rarely has to wait a decade 

or more to enjoy Pape Clement. It should age for three decades 

or more.” 


145573 $280.00 


Parde de Haut-bailly, Pessac léognan 

“Very polished, with an alluring incense and licorice edge to the 

core of supple black cherry, anise and plum sauce flavors. Suave 

black tea and tar hints chime on the finish, but this stays openknit 

and rounded. Drink now through 2018.” 


117994 $35.00 

Château Pavie, St Émilion 

“Made from a classic blend of 60-70% Merlot, 20-25% Cabernet 

Franc and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, this inky/blue/purplecolored 

blockbuster reveals wonderful notes of blackberries, 

crushed rocks, roasted meats, spring flowers, cedar, blueberries, 

graphite and a hint of vanillin. With extravagant fruit and high 

extract as well as a hint of minerality, this structured, massively 

intense effort is typical of all the luxurious, perfect or nearly 

perfect Pavies produced under the Perse regime (which began 

in 1998).” 


155564 $688.00 

Château Pavie Decesse, St Émilion 

“It boasts an inky/blue/purple hue along with notes of incense, 

spring flowers, roasted espresso, chocolate, licorice, blackberries 

and blueberries. Even though it is aged in 100% oak, the wood 

is virtually non-existent. An inky blend of 90% Merlot and 

10% Cabernet Franc, the wine exhibits a flawless integration of 

acidity, alcohol and tannin. This opulent, viscous, thick, juicy St.- 

Émilion will be accessible in 5-7 years and last for three decades.” 


155648 $350.00 

38 


Château Pavie Macquin, St Émilion 

“Hyperlush, with very creamy fig, blackberry and boysenberry 

flavors that stay well-defined, as charred apple wood, black 

tea and singed vanilla bean notes stride in behind. The long, 

authoritative finish drips with fruit and toasted spice, offering 

grip for balance. Very impressive.” 


118729 | 155309 $180.00 

Pavillon rouge du Château Margaux, Margaux 

“The estate’s second wine, the sexy 2009 Pavillon Rouge du 

Château Margaux, offers lots of black raspberry, cedar and 

foresty/underbrush notes in its round, generous, full-bodied, 

seductive embrace of black fruits interwoven with floral notes 

results. This seamless second wine is one of the finest Château 

Margaux has made to date. Enjoy it over the next two decades.” 


828855 $225.00 

Petit Mouton, Pauillac 

“Fleshy and inviting, with dense but accessible layers of dark fig, 

plum, prune cake and roasted espresso, all framed on the finish 

by a lingering singed cedar edge. This has grip, but it’s still 

approachable now. Drink now through 2020.” 


14878 $200.00 


Château Pétrus, Pomerol 

“An opulent Pétrus very much in the stylistic family of the 

1990, this 100% Merlot has a dense plum/purple color and a 

sweet nose of mulberries, black cherries, some subtle toast and 

licorice as well as a floral element. A wine of great intensity, 

a multidimensional mouthfeel and full-bodied, stunning 

concentration, the 2009 Pétrus 2009 is everything one would 

expect of it. Given the sweetness of its tannin, much like the 

1990, I suspect this wine will always be “open for business,” 

appealing even in its youth. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2050+.” 


150847 $3,800.00 

Château Phélan Ségur, St estèphe 

“This is fleshy and polished, with layers of crushed plum, fig 

sauce and blackberry paste that unfurl slowly, backed by maduro 

tobacco, charcoal and iron. There’s lots of minerality on the 

finish, but it’s nicely enveloped in the fruit. Best from 2013 



117960 $75.00 

Château Pichon-longueville baron, Pauillac 

“An amazing opaque blue/purple color is followed by scents of 

spring flowers, graphite, smoky charcoal, incense, blackberries, 

blueberries and hints of coffee and chocolate. Incredibly intense, 

pure and flawlessly constructed with extravagant layers of fruit 

and richness, this offering has developed beautifully under the 

management of Christian Seeley. It is a voluptuous, opulent 

Pichon Longueville Baron that may eclipse anything they 

have made in the past. This brilliant wine should be at its peak 

between 2018 and 2045.” 


145607 $250.00 

40 


Château Pichon-longueville Comtesse de 

lalande, Pauillac 

“A beautiful effort, the 2009 Pichon Lalande, a blend of 75% 

Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, possesses 

copious mocha, lead pencil, unsmoked, high class tobacco, black 

currant, forest floor and herbaceous characteristics. It is a deep 

purple-hued, charming, surprisingly open-knit Pauillac with 

wonderful freshness, a plump, fleshy mouthfeel, opulence 

and unctuosity, medium to full body and a well-delineated, 

luscious style.” 


119966 $380.00 

Château Plince, Pomerol 

“Aromas of boysenberry syrup with hint of licorice follow 

through to a full body, with a dense palate and slightly chewy 

tannins. Juicy wine, with a slightly rustic edge.” 


150755 $39.00 

Château Pontet Canet, Pauillac 

“Black as a moonless night, the 2009 Pontet Canet offers up 

notes of incense, graphite, smoke, licorice, crème de cassis and 

blackberries. A wine of irrefutable purity, laser-like precision, 

colossal weight and richness, and sensational freshness, this is 

a tour de force in winemaking that is capable of lasting 50 or 

more years.” 


155341 $388.00 


Château Poujeaux, Moulis 

“The final blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and the 

rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot was cropped very low at 35 

hectoliters per hectare. Deep purple, with a nose of subtle smoke, 

graphite, blueberry and black raspberry fruit as well as some 

spring flowers, in the mouth a touch of oak makes an appearance, 

but the wine is full-bodied, rich, inky and unctuously textured 

due to the high glycerin and alcohol that hits 14% plus.” 


150193 $60.00 

Château Providence, Pomerol 

“Captivating, with Lapsang souchong tea and incense flavors 

up front, followed by creamy-textured plum and fig sauce, 

blackberry preserve and ganache notes, which sail through the 

long, smoky and creamy finish. Best from 2013 through 2030.” 


150805 $180.00 

Château rahoul, graves 

“Soft at the core, this features mulled plum, blackberry and 

spice notes, joined by tangy iron and tobacco accents along the 

edges. Nicely embedded acidity holds the finish. Drink now 



172676 $26.00 

Château rauzan Ségla, Margaux 

“A classic Margaux, this blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon and 

43% Merlot reveals a dense plum/blue/purple color in addition 

to a sumptuous perfume of subtle new oak interwoven with 

underbrush, black currants, black raspberries, spring flowers, 

and a hint of dusty, loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied with 

sweet but abundant tannin, and beautiful purity, texture and 

equilibrium, the 2009 Rauzan Segla will provide enjoyable 

drinking over the next three decades.” 


118950 $170.00 

42 


Château reignac, bordeaux Superieur 

“One of the strongest Reignacs from proprietor Yves Vatelot, in 

2009 this over-achieving estate has turned out a modern-styled 

Bordeaux with a viscous texture and notes of coffee bean, black 

currants, earth and vanillin in a delicious, front end-loaded, yet 

surprisingly deep, textured, full-bodied wine. It should drink nicely 

for 5-6 years, possibly even longer, although I am always skeptical 

of a generic Bordeaux that lasts much longer than a decade.” 


120071 $39.00 

réserve de Comtesse de lalande, Pauillac 

“Made from a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot 

and the rest Cabernet Franc, the second wine, the 2009 Reserve 

de la Comtesse, exhibits notes of forest floor, white chocolate, 

licorice, black currants and vanillin-infused black cherries. It 

possesses a sweet, round, generous style given its high glycerin.” 


117952 $80.00 

Château rol Valentin, St Émilion 

“A fleshy, inviting style, with lots of crushed fig and steeped 

blackberry fruit woven with warmed cocoa and pain d’épices, 

all backed by a distinctly racy graphite note. Stays fleshy through 

the finish without being heavy. Best from 2013 through 2028.” 


117457 $75.00 

Château Saint Paul, Haut-Médoc 

“Dark ruby/garnet, with notes of sweet red and black currants, 

licorice and roasted herbs, this blend of 50% Cabernet 

Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit 

Verdot boasts round, generous flavors and good sweetness and 

flesh. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.” 


150227 $25.00 


Sarget de gruaud larose, St Julien 

“This has a nice beefy edge, offering roasted fig, plum and warm 

tobacco leaf notes, with bittersweet cocoa inlaid on the slightly 

gutsy finish. On the rustic side, but solid and winey. This 

second wine is also released under the Larose de Gruaud label. 

Best from 2013 through 2020.” 


150219 $29.00 

Château la Serre, St. Émilion 

“Pretty notes of rose and vanilla accent ripe, pure flavors of black 

cherry, raspberry and currant in this polished red. Bright acidity 

carries the smooth texture, with well-integrated tannins giving 

this balance. Drink now through 2020.” 


150722 $70.00 

Château Smith Haut lafitte, Pessac léognan 

“The 2009 Smith-Haut-Lafitte exhibits an opaque blue/purple 

color in addition to a glorious nose of acacia flowers, licorice, 

charcoal, blueberries, black raspberries, lead pencil shavings 

and incense. This massive, extraordinarily rich, unctuously 

textured wine may be the most concentrated effort produced to 

date, although the 2000, 2005 and 2010 are nearly as prodigious. 

A gorgeous expression of Pessac-Leognan with sweet tannin, 

emerging charm and delicacy, and considerable power, depth, 

richness and authority, it should age effortlessly for 30-40+ 

years. Bravo!” 


014571 | 15537 $300.00 

44 


Château Sociando Mallet, Haut-Médoc 

“Opaque black/purple, with notes of crushed rock, white flowers, 

graphite, blueberry and cassis, the wine is tight and needs to 

be coaxed from the glass. It is medium to full-bodied, with an 

excruciatingly tough-textured finish. Everything is here, and 

the wine is set for a long life, but it is not the least bit charming 

and certainly won’t be for at least another decade.” 


145748 $68.00 

Châteaux St. Pierre, St Julien 

“The all-time greatest wine I have ever tasted from Saint-Pierre, 

this estate, the smallest of the grand cru classés of St.-Julien, 

has an opaque purple color and a spectacular nose of subtle 

charcoal, crème 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.” 


150235 $180.00 

Château talbot, St Julien 

“Dark plum and blueberry compote notes lead the way, followed 

by dark cocoa and tobacco. A fleshy feel runs throughout, with 

a stony edge adding length and balance on the finish. Best from 

2013 through 2021.” 


150656 $99.00 

Château du tertre, Margaux 

“A seductive, opulent, textured Margaux with notes of licorice, 

black fruits, asphalt, pen ink and truffle, this is one of the finest 

du Tertres ever made. It has a hedonistic quality to it, but at the 

same time, there is great class, precision and freshness to this 

full-bodied, concentrated, but very supple-textured wine.” 


150664 $65.00 


Château la tour du Pin Figeac, St. Émilion 

“Made from 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the ripe black 

raspberry and blueberry fruit are present, along with some sandy, 

loamy soil notes. The tannins are sweet, but very elevated, and 

the wine rich and long but currently somewhat austere and 

needing bottle age. Give it 2 or 3 years of cellaring and drink it 

over the following 15+ years.” 


148841 | 155333 $70.00 

Château la tour Figeac, St. Émilion 

“The finest wine yet made by this estate run by Stephane 

Derenoncourt’s wife, Christine, this blend of 78% Merlot and 

22% Cabernet Franc tips the scales at 14+% alcohol. It exhibits 

copious aromas of blueberries, raspberries, asphalt, truffles, 

charcoal and a hint of graphite. Full-bodied and powerful 

with low acidity, excellent freshness and precision, and deep, 

glycerin-imbued, high octane flavors, the vintage’s tell-tale 

voluptuousness and opulence are nicely wedded to a sense of 

freshness and delineation.” 


012062 $60.00 

Château tronquoy lalande, St estèphe 

“The 2009 Tronquoy Lalande, a blend of 51% Merlot, 42% 

Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Petit Verdot, is the finest wine 

they have yet produced. It reveals an opulent bouquet of 

mulberries, blueberries, raspberries and spring flowers, full 

body, silky tannin, low acidity and a lush, pure mouthfeel. This 

uncharacteristically round, generous, sumptuous wine should be 

drinkable early on.” 


148791 $65.00 

46 


Château troplong Mondot, St Émilion 

“It boasts an inky/purple color along with a gorgeous bouquet 

of mocha, chocolate, blackberry and cassis fruit, an unctuous 

texture, a full-bodied, viscous mouthfeel and a skyscraperlike, 

multilayered finish. This spectacular wine is nearly 

overwhelming in its richness, thickness and intensity.” 


148122 $350.00 

Château trotanoy, Pomerol 

“An absolutely prodigious wine, the dense purple 2009 Trotanoy 

exudes extraordinary notes of minerals, forest floor, sweet 

black currants and black cherry jam along with floral notes 

and graphite. Very full-bodied, with silky tannins, fabulous 

opulence and palate presence, this terrific wine should be at its 

best in 7-10 years and last for 20 or more. Think of it as a more 

concentrated, “bigger” version of the extraordinary 1998. For 

the first time at Trotanoy, 500 cases of a second wine were 

produced from 100% Merlot from a parcel that is often excluded 

from the final blend.” 


150839 $500.00 

Vieux Château Certan, Pomerol 

“The 2009’s nearly 14% natural alcohol, exquisite ripeness, and 

incredible complex bouquet of Asian spices, fruitcake, licorice, 

smoke, blackberries and black currants are to die for. A blend 

of 84% Merlot and the rest equal parts Cabernet Franc and 

Cabernet Sauvignon, it possesses a viscous texture as well as 

a freshness and vibrancy that are remarkable given the wine’s 

weight, richness and potential massiveness. This extraordinary 

effort is one of the finest Vieux Château Certans made over the 

last sixty years.” 


145763 $500.00 


VinS BLAncS 

Caillou blanc de Château talbot, bordeaux 

“Plump and friendly, with heather, verbena and brioche notes 

up front, backed by hints of macadmia nut and paraffin on the 

finish. Enticing. Drink now.” 


119115 $29.00 

Château Carbonnieux blanc, Pessac léognan 

Minerally and refreshing Pessac white that is showing some of 

enticing fleshiness of the vintage. (BP) 


163915 $60.00 

Domaine de Chevalier blanc, Pessac léognan 

“A blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Semillon from one 

of the great estates in Pessac-Léognan, the wine has notes of 

white currants, melon, and flint/crushed rock with a delicate hit 

of orange and lemon zest. Give it another 4-5 years of cellaring 

and drink it over the following three decades.” 


148197 $178.00 

Château la garde blanc, Pessac léognan 

Pronounced lime flower aromas give way to richer notes of 

peaches and cream in this gorgeous white. (BP) 


626648 $39.00 


la grande Clotte blanc, bordeaux 

“Consistently well-made by Dany and Michel Rolland, this 

blend of Sauvignon with some Semillon and Muscadelle has 

nose of honeysuckle, orange rinds and apricots. Exotic, with a 

hint of underlying minerality, this delicious, pure, exuberant 

style of dry white is meant to be drunk in its first 2-3 of life.” 


147975 $50.00 

blanc de lynch bages, bordeaux 

“This rare white wine from the Lynch Bages property is primarily 

a blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc with a little Muscadelle 

for floral nuaces. Oak aging brings spice and complexity.” 

Barbara Philip MW 

163907 $60.00 

Château Smith Haut lafitte blanc, 

Pessac léognan 

“Possibly the best dry white the estate has produced since the 

proprietors, the Cathiards, acquired the property in 1990, this 

wine exhibits a sensational fragrance of buttered citrus, honeyed 

melons and a touch of grapefruit, lemon zest and orange rind. It 

also displays grapefruit on the attack and mid-palate as well as 

real opulence, terrific acidity and length. Drink it over the next 

15-20 years. Astonishing!” 


145730 $178.00

SAUTERnES & BARSAc 

Carmes de rieussec, Sauternes 

Citrus and wild flowers dominate the palate of this second label 

of Rieussec. (BP) 


116335 (375 ml) $20.00 

Chateau Climens, barsac 

“The aromatics display pure honey, minerals, occasionally a faint 

scent of spearmint and white peach, most with spellbinding 

precision. On the palate, Berenice Lurton has some stupendous 

lots at her disposal, with ample botrytis, ethereal definition, 

one or two more powerful, quite spicy lots and others that are 

shorter and will undoubtedly lend the blend an acidic cut. It 

will be a joy to taste this after bottling.” 


788430 (375 ml) $100.00 

Chateau Doisy Daëne, barsac 

“The Doisy Daene 2009 is quite delicious now giving intense 

aromas of lemon marmalade, preserved kumquat, mandarin peel 

and honeycomb. The palate is big, rich and sweet with a seductive 

silkiness and around 150 g/l of residual sugar / 14% alcohol.” 


115915 (375 ml) $50.00 

Chateau Doisy Védrines, barsac 

“Richly layered and detailed, but thoroughly mouthwatering, 

this lets lacy citrus, floral and white peach flavors meld into a 

core of quince, fig and persimmon fruit, while warm piecrust 

and honey roasted almond notes drive through the finish. Very 

long, with superb cut despite its power.” 


557306 $60.00 


Chateau guiraud, Sauternes 

“The 2009 Guiraud is very tight on the nose, taking time to 

unfurl, with notes of apricot, peach, a touch of honeysuckle and 

quince. Good definition. The palate is impressive: tightly coiled, 

honeyed fruit, very fine acidity, linear at first then fanning out 

across the finish with notes of dried apricot, nectarine, a touch 

of almond and a faint hint of spice. With good length and 

unctuous on the finish, this Guiraud is impossible to ignore.” 


150557 $100.00 

116319 (375 ml) $50.00 

Chateau rayne Vigneau, Sauternes 

“The 2009 Rayne-Vigneau is one of the stars of the vintage. It 

has a very well defined, almost understated nose with white 

peach, apricot and lime leaf: very pretty and succinct. The palate 

is very well balanced, beautifully defined with real minerality 

showing through the viscous, botrytized fruit. Great tension 

here, effortlessly counterbalancing the richness to perfection.” 


145656 (375 ml) $38.00 

Chateau rieussec, Sauternes 

“The minerality and stoniness really comes through on the nose 

of this Rieussec, more than the 2007. The palate is very well 

balanced with superb acidity, real tension, steely with great 

precision with notes of apricot, white peach and honey on the 

beautifully defined finish. Probably the best Rieussec since the 

astounding 2001.” 


155424 | 238311 $150.00 

145664 (375 ml) $75.00 


Chateau De Suduiraut, Sauternes 

“One of the outstanding successes of the 2009 vintage, this may 

surpass the superlative 2007. It has a more understated nose 

at the moment, but is very well defined with honey, white 

peach, orange peel and crushed stones. The palate has a viscous 

entry, is very well balanced, very powerful with great depth 

and effervescent minerality. Layers of botrytis layer across 

the mellifluous finish that is beautifully defined and sensuous. 

Fabulous.”
