2009 Château Belian-Giraud - Bordeaux

Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France - Bordeaux

If any wine epitomizes what is so uniquely grand about the 2009 Bordeaux vintage it's this one. Even though Belian-Giraud is just a petit ch'teau, I find in it the same uncanny harmony, lushness, and purity of the fruit the marks the grand crus in 2009. This was presented to us by super-negociant Bill Blatch, author of the influential Annual Bordeaux Vintage Report and a true scholar of the region, and we fell in love with it. Bill, who has tasted them all, feels exactly the same way about this wine that we do. It's terrific. -- Ben Giliberti

2009 Château des Léotins - Bordeaux

Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France - Bordeaux

For sheer bang for the buck, this brand-new arrival is going to be tough to beat. Showing oodles of soft Merlot fruit, it's also a versatile, food-friendly wine that's great to have on hand when friends arrive for a casual luncheon or dinner. That, plus it's a great everyday drinker. -- Ben Giliberti

2009 Château Lafont Fourcat - Bordeaux

Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France - Bordeaux

Two factoids tell you all you need to know about this wine: 2009, and Jean-Luc Thunevin. 2009 is without doubt the greatest Bordeaux vintage for the so-called petit ch'teaux of Bordeaux since 1982, and perhaps in the region's history. Jean-Luc Thunevin is the self-described "Bad Boy" of Bordeaux, an inspired winemaking and marketing genius who has branched out all over France in search of the finest terroirs , always searching for impeccable quality regardless of the official pedigree or rank of the vineyard or appellation. Ch'teau Lafont Fourcat is among the best quality-price ratio wines of Bordeaux thanks to the talent and meticulous work of its owner, Paul Marie Morillon, who is a much in demand vineyard consultant for several famous properties in Bordeaux, including Ch'teau Valandraud, Jean-Luc's own luxury cuv?e Saint Emilion. This small property of just under 20 acres, planted on clay-limestone terraces close to Saint Emilion, is tended more like a garden than a vineyard, with every detail from grape bunch to finished wine impeccably managed by its owner. Made from Merlot (75%), Cabernet Sauvignon (20%), and Malbec (5%), the 2009 absolutely embodies the powerful yet rich silkiness of ripe fruit that is the signature of this extraordinary vintage. In the way that only great vintages of Bordeaux petit ch'teau can do, it delivers that wonderful $30 bottle feel for half the price!

2009 Château Suduiraut - S de Suduiraut Bordeaux Blanc Sec

Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France - Bordeaux

Made by the great Sauternes producer Château Suduiraut, the delectable 2009 S de Suduiraut will prove an extra-special treat for Sauternes aficionados who may be shocked to discover that it is, of all things, a dry white wine. The grapes come from the same vineyards as the sweet wine, but are picked early in the harvest, before botrytis has set in, and before the bunches have shriveled and become intensely sweet. It offers fascinating tangerine and white peach aromas and flavors, followed by a fine dry finish. A faint "kiss" of botrytis on the aftertaste is the only clue whence it came.

2009 Château Valandraud - No. 2 Blanc de Valandraud Bordeaux

Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France - Bordeaux

This is the second white wine from Chateau Valandraud and famous "garagiste" Jean-Luc Thunevin. We also tasted this tropical white after our beautiful lunch at his home. With just a few hundred cases produced, this is rare stuff!
