2009 Château Cantenac-Brown - Margaux
2009 Château Cantenac-Brown - Margaux

The greatest Cantenac Brown I have ever tasted, this monumental effort possesses enormous concentration, with loads of black and blue fruits intermixed with damp earth and forest floor. I have never seen a Cantenac Brown so seamless, so powerful, yet at the same time, so elegant and densely complex. They have certainly done something here that has not been accomplished over the last three decades I have been tasting this estate's wines. Opaque purple in color and full-bodied, this big-time sleeper of the vintage merits serious attention for the first time in my professional career. Kudos to the new ownership and team at Cantenac Brown. This wine should evolve over a 30-year period. (Tasted two times.) Read More

2009 Château Caronne-Ste.-Gemme - Haut-Médoc
2009 Château Caronne-Ste.-Gemme - Haut-Médoc (1.5L)
Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France - Bordeaux - Haut-Médoc
Red Wine 
WS 90


This property is a real hidden "gem", just a stone's throw away from the St. Julien appellation and stars such as Lagrange and Gruaud Larose. We're happy to keep the secret because it means more wine for us! Owner Francois Nony, whom we got to visit with during our recent trip to Bordeaux, delivers a great 2009. A blackcurrant and cassis-like nose leads to a classic Medoc earthy finish. This wine is well-balanced with a freshness of fruit that is a hallmark of this vintage. It should age well for 5-10 more years. A real bargain!

2009 Château Certan de May - Pomerol
2009 Château Certan de May - Pomerol
Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France - Bordeaux - Pomerol
Red Wine 
WS 91
WA 93
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. I?m sure it is not better than the immortal 1982 Certan de May. Read More

2009 Château Cheval-Blanc - St.-Emilion
2009 Château Cheval-Blanc - St.-Emilion
Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France - Bordeaux - St.-Emilion

It will be fascinating to follow the evolution of the 2009 Cheval Blanc versus the 2010 as well as the awesome 2005, 2000, 1998 and 1990. This famous estate's vineyard is situated at the juncture of Pomerol and the sandy, gravelly soils of St.-Emilion, facing the two noble estates of l?Evangile and La Conseillante. 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, super-smooth, velvety, pure, profound Cheval Blanc is impossible to resist despite its youthfulness. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2050+. Read More

2009 Château Clarke - Listrac
2009 Château Clarke - Listrac
Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France - Bordeaux - Listrac
Red Wine

Listrac's deep gravel soils rival the best of the Haut-Médoc, and this prominent Listrac château makes its wine to a classified growth standard, with the flavors of new oak well-integrated into this dark purple, powerful wine.

2009 Château Clément-Pichon - Haut-Médoc
2009 Château Clément-Pichon - Haut-Médoc
Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France - Bordeaux - Haut-Médoc
Red Wine 
WA 88
The home residence of the construction magnate Clement Fayat, this property sitting in the very southern end of Medoc has turned out a very attractive wine with lots of black currant, black cherry and cedary notes. It is evolved, elegant, medium to full-bodied, with a dark plum/ruby color. Savory and complex already, this wine should drink nicely for another 7-10 years. (A member of the Association of Crus Bourgeois du Medoc.)

2009 Château Climens - Barsac
2009 Château Climens - Barsac (375ml)
Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France - Sauternes - Barsac
White Wine 
WE 99
WA 98
Picked in just two tries, 90% picked in one trie, tasting through 13 separate lots, the core components of a great Climens appear to be in place. Paying particular attention to the lots that constitute a large percentage of the blend (usually around 15%) the common themes are ones of great purity, persistency and precision. 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. —Neal Martin, Read More

2009 Château Clos Haut-Peyraguey - Sauternes (375ml)
Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France - Sauternes
White Wine 
WA 93

"This just has to go down as one of the great successes of the vintage. Just to check, I tasted it blind against the Second Growths and its superiority shone out; then against other Firsts, and its combination of lush concentration and an elegant 'lift' put it right there at the top. At a quite moderate 136 g/l of residual, and an alcohol and acidity that are almost identical to the '07, this is the kind of 'nervous' balance that many larger estates would maybe have preferred to achieve this year. In that, it is one of the few wines to resemble the '01, and is maybe even superior."
