2009 Bad Boy (Mauvais Garcon) - Vin de Garage Bordeaux (Pre-arrival)
Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Country: France | Region: Bordeaux | Size: 750ml

This wine comes from none other than Jean-Luc Thunevin, known as the "bad boy" of Bordeaux for his progressive, outside-the-box ways. We tasted this barrel sample after our beautiful lunch at his home. Bad Boy, now labeled "Mauvais Garcon" because of a copyright dispute, was superb. It has excellent concentration and balance, with blackberry and currant flavors. The tannins are soft and round, so this should be wonderful for near-term consumption.

2008 Chateau Au Grand Paris - Bordeaux Supérieur
Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Country: France | Region: Bordeaux | Size: 750ml

We have just recently returned from a trip to Bordeaux and we found tasting the great classified growths from the fine vintages of 2008 and 2009 to be an exhilarating and pleasurable experience. However, the real work is trying to find good quality Bordeaux in the everyday price range. We have done just that with this new arrival from Chateau Au Grand Paris. Made from 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, this soft and supple red has aromatic red berry fruit and subtle earthy and spicy flavors. The soft, sweet tannins make this red so easy to drink right now.

2009 Château Bastor-Lamontagne - Sauternes (Pre-arrival) (375ml)
Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Country: France | Region: Sauternes | Size: 375ml

"Fragrant and herbal, without excess of sweetness, allowing the acidity to shine through with a nice refreshing greenish tinge to it, this wine has a run-through of very pure fruit flavours (white fruit: pears, golden apples) that will make it ideal for fairly early drinking."

2008 Château Beaulieu - Comtes de Tastes Bordeaux Supérieur
Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Country: France | Region: Bordeaux | Size: 750ml
$16.99
2009 Château Beaulieu - Comtes de Tastes Bordeaux Supérieur (Pre-arrival)
Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Country: France | Region: Bordeaux | Size: 750ml

We've carried this wine for years and it always delivers bang for the buck. This vintage it's an especially big wine for a Bordeaux Superieur. We found it to be sturdy with a good structure with dark, rich fruit, espresso, cocoa powder and sweet oak in the nose. The balance here is very good.

2009 Château Bellevue de Tayac - Margaux (Pre-arrival)
Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Country: France | Region: Bordeaux | Size: 750ml
$24.00
2009 Château Bernadotte - Haut-Médoc (Pre-arrival)
Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Country: France | Region: Bordeaux | Size: 750ml

2009 Château Bolaire - Bordeaux Supérieur (Pre-arrival)
Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Country: France | Region: Bordeaux | Size: 750ml

We tasted this jet-black wine during our visit with American-born negociant Jeff Davies. We were amazed by the purity of fruit and freshness of this big wine, and we found out that's due in part to the high percentage of Petit Verdot (35%) used in the blend. Should age nicely for those patient enough to hold on to it!

2009 Château Caillou - Barsac (Pre-arrival) (375ml)
Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Country: France | Region: Sauternes | Size: 375ml

"Freshness and fragrance are the hallmarks of this quite little-known wine this year. Although very sweet for the chateau (130 g/l), and although the weight of the wine is quite fat, the aromatics are its strong point, passion-fruit, oranges, even a touch of citrus. So the ensemble is lively and fine and has real style, for medium term drinking."
