Since 1982, Chateau Leoville Poyferre has been making exciting wine. In some vintages, they have produced the top wine of the St. Julien appellation. More importantly, they consistently release outstanding wine with a strong track record for aging.

Chateau Pichon Baron can make some of the finest wines from not just Pauillac, but all of Bordeaux. However, they lack consistency. 2010 Pichon Baron is a return to form

The wines being made today at Chateau Giscours by Jelgersma team, headed by Alexander van Beek and consultant Denis Dubourdieu, are the best wines they have produced in the history of the Bordeaux chateau!

Dinner with Jean-Luc Thunevin and Murielle Andraud is always one of the highlights of my visits to Bordeaux. It is difficult to find a couple that is more passionate about wine, St. Emilion and most importantly, each other.

Fat, sexy, juicy, silky and erotic textures couple with the luscious mouth coating layers of intense, ripe black fruits and sweet black cherry jam that last for over forty seconds. The wine was bottled, May 15, 2010.

Tasting Bordeaux wine barrel samples is always an interesting. The wines are continually changing, and at a rapid pace. Sometimes they improve. On different occasions they remain the same and at other times, they do not develop as well as expected.
