Domaine de la Charbonniere Chateauneuf du Pape Priced Right to Sell! The Vineyard • October, 2003 “Rhone wine enthusiasts need to jump on Domaine de la Charbonniére’s band wagon before the estate becomes better known. Proprietor Michel Maret is doing everything right, producing wines with terrific individual character from low yields and bottling without filtration. It is one of the most serious Châteauneuf du pape estates… The 1999s are the most forward efforts produced by Maret over the last three vintages…Michel Maret’s 2000s reveal sweeter glycerin levels as well as additional ripeness, fat, and fruit, although there is plenty of underlying structure and tannin. It is another top vintage for Maret, who has not missed a beat over the last three years.” Robert Parker 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Hauts Brusquieres ...................................................Reg. 34.99 Now 24.99 Rated 91-93/100, Robert Parker Suggested Retail $42.00 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Hauts Brusquieres ...................................................Reg. 29.99 Now 24.99 Rated 89/100, Robert Parker Suggested Retail $42.00 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape Mourre des Perdrix ........................................................Reg. 24.99 Now 19.99 Rated 90/100, Robert Parker Suggested Retail $40.00 2000 Vacqueyras ........................................................................................................Reg. 18.99 Now 13.99 LUC AND GENEVIEVE JANSSENS Portfolio Limited Edition (NAPA VALLEY) The couple’s handcrafted wine is a blend of classic Bordeaux varieties sourced by Geneviève from distinctive terroirs of Napa Valley. The entire winemaking process at Portfolio, Limited Edition - from grape picking to bottling - is done by hand, crafted at the couple’s petite, “gravity flow” winery. Geneviève moved to California in 1979 to work at Robert Mondavi <strong>Wine</strong>ry as an assistant enologist. In 1989, she was appointed Director of Production at Opus One. In 1997 Geneviève became the Director of <strong>Wine</strong>making at Robert Mondavi <strong>Wine</strong>ry. Currently, she is a key member of the team developing the To- Kalon project, the largest wood fermenting facility in the world. In her current role she is responsible for overseeing 24 labels for the Robert Mondavi <strong>Wine</strong>ry in Oakville. 2000 Portfolio ..............................................................119.99 220 cases produced Napa Valley Hendry Ranch for the Cabernet Sauvignon (80%) and Petit Verdot(1%), Weitz Vineyard for the Cabernet Franc (19%). This wine is every bit a worthy successor to the 1999 vintage, which was awarded the “<strong>Wine</strong> of the Year” honors form the Connoisseurs’ Guide to California <strong>Wine</strong>s, for its impeccable richness, balance, depth and focus. CH. MOUTON ROTHSCHILD’S WHITE WINE 2000 Aile d’Argent “…is the best vintage I have tasted of their white wine.” Robert Parker “…Mouton’s 2000 Aile d’Argent (rated 92 points), a blend of 65% Sauvignon Blanc, 34% Semillon, and 1% Muscadelle, is the best vintage I have tasted of their white wine. It exhibits notes of white flowers intermixed with honeysuckle, Mandarin oranges, citrus, and smoke in a medium-bodied, intensely fragrant, concentrated, lush style. I would opt for drinking it during its first 4-5 years of life. It is certainly a worthy challenger to the Médoc’s finest dry white wine, the Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux.” Robert Parker $ 49 99 per bottle info@brownderby.com • www.brownderby.com PG. 27
