Jack: If they want to drink Merlot, we're drinking Merlot. Miles Raymond: No, if anyone orders Merlot, I'm leaving. I am NOT drinking any fu*&^% Merlot! Merlot is the second most planted varietal on the planet earth, although its popularity has helped give this outstanding varietal an identity crisis. The name Merlot is thought to be a diminutive of merle, the French name for the blackbird, probably a reference to the color of the grape. Its softness and "fleshiness", combined with its earlier ripening, makes Merlot a popular grape for blending with the sterner, later-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon, which tends to be higher in tannin. When done right Merlot is one of the greatest wines on the planet. When it is done wrong it is one of the least enjoyable of all wines. After the boom of the late 1990’s which was sparked by the nations’ most popular news programs 60 minutes expose called “the French Paradox” where they discovered that the consumption of wine was linked to superior heath in people from France. The U.S. started drinking more wine and Merlot was the bell of the ball so wineries planted this finicky varietal all over the state of California and beyond to quench the demand for this healthy elixir. Little did they know that there are only a few places on earth that can make exceptional Merlot. So it may have been Merlot’s good fortune that Miles in the movie “Sideways” slowed the popularity of this varietal and stopped wineries from planting this varietal in all the wrong places. There are only a few places on earth where Merlot can reach greatness: Bordeaux (the homeland for this varietal), Italy, Washington State and Northern California. We have some of the top examples from each of these wine producing regions from the top names like, Chateau Petrus, Chateau Lafleur, Chateau Cheval Blanc, Leonetti Cellars and Duckhorn Winery. Join us as we experience ten Merlot based wines going back to the 1983 vintage.

This Is the second year we will host a New Years Eve Party at the Wine Watch, for the first seven years the wine bar was open we hosted a dinner and kept the group to under 30 people. Last year we have decided to host a larger group and instead of a smaller seated event we hosted a few more people and made it a party instead of a seated event and it was a huge success so we will host another party this year for up to 50 people for our second big bottle big baller new year’s eve party!! This year we will host a party and weather permitting we have a outdoor area in the front where we will set up a lounge for smoking cigars. Something most of our fans do not know that we have a huge collection of vintage cigars at wine watch. So, for those of you that like a nice cigar, we will have our first wine and cigar event featuring our collection of vintage cigars as part of the experience. Your admission price includes everything below. We will not run out of champagne or wine on this night and we will also have different courses of food coming out all evening long as we ring in the new year with Krug Grand Cuvee Edition 161 out of 3 liter to toast 2026 at midnight!

The history of the property is certainly as interesting as the wine itself and is too long and complicated to recount in the short space at hand. Nevertheless, the high points bear repeating. As with most wines of the Médoc, the fame of Lafite first dates from the eighteenth century. During the reign of Louis XV, Lafite was owned by the very powerful and wealthy Marquis de Ségur, who also owned Latour, Mouton, and Calon Ségur. Upon Ségur's death in 1755, the estate became embroiled in a long and complex battle among the heirs. Over the course of the next one hundred years, it was auctioned twice - the second time in 1868 to the scion of a famous Paris banking family, Baron James de Rothschild. The selling price was an astounding 4,400,000 francs. To properly appreciate the significance of this sum, the equally prestigious Mouton-Rothschild had sold a little more than a decade earlier for one quarter of that sum. The lofty price paid for Lafite was due in no small part to the enormous prestige the property enjoyed as a result of the famous 1855 Grand Cru Classification. At the Paris Exposition in that year, Bordeaux brokers and merchants compiled a list of the top sixty Médoc chateaux and ranked them in five groups. Lafite was placed at the very top of the first group - first of the firsts. Also shortly after the sale to the Rothschilds in 1868, a famous auction of some of the chateau's wonderful old vintages was held. This was a remarkable event, for the wines fetched hitherto unheard of prices - with the 1811, the great Comet vintage, commanding the highest price of all. It was without doubt the greatest wine auction that had ever been seen up to that time. Over the years to the Second World War various Rothschilds ran the chateau, but after the war it seemed that Lafite was just one of many jewels owned by the family - an interest and concern to be visited and supervised when necessary. The period after 1945 was not one of neglect, but the property certainly did not get the care and attention that cousin Baron Philippe fostered on his beloved Mouton-Rothschild. As a result many felt that Lafite gradually began to lose its place of preeminence during the postwar years and that the last great Lafite was produced in the 1959 vintage. In fact, another vintage the equal of the 1959 was not seen for nearly two decades. That was in 1975, the same year that year that the chateau hired a new winemaker, Jean Crete, formerly of Leoville Las Cases and also engaged the consulting services of Emile Peynaud, the famed University of Bordeaux enologist. In 1977 a new generation Rothschild, Eric de Rothschild, arrived to oversee the property and become a hands-on proprietor. The stage was set for Lafite's return to greatness, and the 1975 vintage proved that Lafite still had the stuff. With nearly 200 acres under vines and an average annual production of 20,000 cases, Lafite is the largest of the first growths both in terms of area and production. The vineyards lie on slopes in the northern end of the commune of Pauillac. Across a meadow on its northern border lies the commune of St. Estèphe and the imposing Chinese Gothic architecture of Chateau Cos D'Estournel. On the Pauillac side, Lafite adjoins Mouton at many points. The chateau itself is a pleasing compendium of medieval turrets and seventeenth and eighteenth century buildings standing among a row of trees on a hill above the famous Routes des Chateaux. The chaise (the cellars where the new wine is aged in barrels) are quite impressive, but even more awesome is the magnificent underground cellar where Lafite's unique collection of old wines goes back to the 1797 vintage. If any one spot on earth is Mecca to the winelover, it is here at Lafite - the one place that connoisseurs the world over must visit once in their lifetime. And what is one to say of the wines of Lafite that has not already been expressed with all the gloriously extravagant rhetorical fantasies of bygone days? Without attempting to outdo the embellishments of some of the greatest writers of wine lore, we will say only that, at its best, Lafite is the quintessential claret - a wine that combines finesse, breed, depth, and longevity. It certainly is a softer wine than Mouton and Latour, the other two great Pauillacs. This is due no doubt to the high percentage of Merlot used in the blend. And what about recent vintages of Lafite? It is true that Lafite went through spotty times. Although 1961, 1966, and 1970 were remarkable vintages for Bordeaux, we were never impressed with the Lafites of those years. However, Lafite has recently made great wines in 1975, 1976 (the best wine in Bordeaux in that vintage), 1978, 1979, 1981, 1982 (a monumental year for Lafite), 1985, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1995, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2015, 2016 and 2018. 1978 Chateau Lafite Rothschild 'Carruades de Lafite', Pauillac, France Price: $395.00 Sale Price: $330.00 Quantity in Stock: 6 "This wine is distinctively herbaceous and cedary, with surprisingly high acidity, and aggressive tannin in the finish. Its medium garnet color and smoky, roasted herb-scented nose are followed by a wine with good fruit on the attack, but an angular, sharp finish. The wine appears to be closer to full maturity than its younger sibling, the 1979." Wine Advocate 1983 Chateau Lafite Rothschild 'Carruades de Lafite', Pauillac, France Price: $425.00 Sale Price: $350.00 Quantity in Stock: 14 (93 points) "The 1983 vintage was a little more difficult in Pauillac than down in Margaux, but the evolution has been extremely slow and it still tastes hugely enticing, with cigar box and touches of underripe tea leaf notes balanced by some lovely soft cassis and brambly autumnal fruits edged with cold ash. Drinking Window 2018 - 2030." Wine Advocate. 1975 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac (mid shoulder fill) Price: $1450.00 Sale Price: $1050.00 Quantity in Stock: 13 1975 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac (top shoulder fill) Price: $1450.00 Sale Price: $1050.00 Quantity in Stock: 9 (93 Points) Three late-released bottles of the 1975 Lafite Rothschild were drinking beautifully, soaring from the glass with scents of sweet red berries, camphor, cigar box and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, ample and enveloping, with a generous core of fruit, melting tannins and succulent acids, this is a soft, seamless wine despite the inherently firm style of the vintage, and it's at its peak today. (WK) Review Date: 02/2022 Wine Advocate 1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac Price: $3700.00 Sale Price: $2995.00 Quantity in Stock: 7 (100 Points) The 1982 Lafite possesses a dark, dense ruby/purple color with only a subtle lightening at the rim. Spectacular aromatics offer jammy cherry and black fruits intertwined with lead pencil, mineral, and smoky wood scents. Powerful for a Lafite, this wine unfolds to reveal extraordinary richness, purity, and overall symmetry in addition to stunning flavor depth and persistence. The finish lasts for nearly a minute. Plenty of tannin remains, and the wine displays a vibrancy and youthfulness that belie its 18 years of age. The modern day equivalent of Lafite-Rothschild's immortal 1959, the 1982 will enjoy another 30-70 years of life! An amazing achievement! Anticipated maturity: 2007-2070. Wine Advocate # 129 June 2000 1983 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac Price: $999.00 Sale Price: $750.00 Quantity in Stock: 85 (94 Points) The 1983 Lafite-Rothschild is one of my favorite vintages of the decade, and this bottle, served blind, replicates its showing at their 150th anniversary vertical. However, at first, it feels a little disjointed on the nose, but it coheres in the glass, offering lovely blackberry fruit, hints of pain d'épices, black truffle and meat juices. The palate is beautifully balanced with fine-boned tannins, tobacco and morels. There's a bit more white pepper on the finish of this bottle, though persistent as ever. What a wonderful Lafite-Rothschild that, at 40 years, continues to go strong. (NM) Review Date: 08/2023, Vinous 1986 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac Price: $1800.00 Sale Price: $1395.00 Quantity in Stock: 6 (100 points) The 1986 possesses outstanding richness, a deep color, medium body, a graceful, harmonious texture, and superb length. The penetrating fragrance of cedar, chestnuts, minerals, and rich fruit is a hallmark of this wine. Powerful, dense, rich, and tannic, as well as medium to full-bodied, with awesome extraction of fruit, this Lafite has immense potential. Patience is required. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2030. Last tasted 11/94 Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition Jan 1998 wine advocate 1999 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac Price: $1450.00 Sale Price: $1150.00 Quantity in Stock: 1 (95 Points) The 1999 Lafite Rothschild sports an engraved "1999" on the bottle along with an eclipse to mark that significant historical event of August, 1999. It is a quintessential offering from Lafite Rothschild. This prodigious wine is both elegant and intensely flavored, and almost diaphanous in its layers that unfold with no heaviness. An opaque ruby/purple color is accompanied by a complex bouquet of lead pencil, graphite, cedar, creme de cassis, toast, and vanilla. It is medium-bodied, with extravagant layers of richness yet little weight, and a finish that is all sweetness, ripeness, and harmony. This extraordinary Lafite increasingly appears to be a modern day clone of the majestic 1953. A mere one-third of the crop made it into the grand vin! Anticipated maturity: 2007-2030. Wine Advocate # 140 2000 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac Price: $1800.00 Sale Price: $1500.00 Quantity in Stock: 6 (100 Points) Well, well, well - Lafite Rothschild does it again. Ever since manager Charles Chevalier was transferred from his beloved Sauternes property of Rieussec (also owned by the Rothschilds) to Lafite in 1994, there has been a succession of profound wines to emerge from this noble estate. The 2000 Lafite Rothschild, a blend of 93.3% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6.7% Merlot (only 36% of the crop made the grade) has an opaque ruby/purple color, followed by an extraordinary aromatic expression of liquid minerals/stones interwoven with the tell-tale graphite notes, mulberry, black currants, caramel, and tobacco. In the mouth, it is remarkably light on its feet, but somehow seems to pack intense flavors into layer upon layer of fruit and richness that cascade over the palate. A compelling wine, with extraordinary precision, great intensity, and a seamlessness in spite of what are obviously elevated levels of tannin, this wine was provocatively open and beautiful when tasted in January and February, but I am sure it will soon close down. The finish lasted a whopping 72 seconds! This is utterly fascinating stuff. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2050. Wine Advocate # 146 Apr 2003 2003 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac Price: $2250.00 Sale Price: $1450.00 Quantity in Stock: 1 (100 Points) A modern day version of the 1959 Lafite, the 2003 Lafite Rothschild was bottled in mid-May, 2005 after achieving 12.9% natural alcohol – hardly an astonishing figure given the vintage’s weather conditions. A combination of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, it represents a ripe version of the essence of Lafite-Rothschild. Dense purple-colored, with classic notes of graphite intertwined with melted licorice, creme de cassis, smoke, and flowers, it reveals extraordinary richness, opulence, power, purity, intensity, and viscosity. Whether this wine will close down or not is questionable as it is somewhat atypical given its sweetness and softness. Analytically, there are extremely high tannins, which I suspect will assert themselves in the future. Production in 2003 was less than half of normal. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2050. Wine Advocate #164, Apr 2006

One time I introduced my orchestra as the Shampoo Music Makers instead of the Champagne Music Makers. Lawrence Welk I have that same problem after a few glasses of Champagne. One thing is certain that if it were my last supper one of the bottles on the table would be Champagne and it would most likely be Vintage Krug. Krug is my favorite Champagne but what most Krug lovers do not even know is that the founder of Krug Johann-Joseph Krug left Jacquesson to form his own house with his namesake in 1843. Jacquesson is one of Champagne’s most venerable houses, not only predating Krug, but giving birth to it. But despite more than 200 years of history, Jacquesson has become a revolutionary among Champagne’s established houses, under the leadership of brothers Laurent and Jean-Hervé Chiquet, who took over from their father in the 1980’s. Since then, the house has adopted a herbicide-free, terroir-based philosophy. It also retired, after 150 years, its non-vintage blend and replaced it with a groundbreaking single-vintage-based cuvée, which changes yearly. And next came its terroir-based cuvées, an unprecedented move for a traditional house. As Champagne lovers have the chance to experience more and more of Jacquesson’s new releases, the genius of this house’s ideas are coming more fully into focus. Vintage variations are a fact of nature. But of all the world’s major wine regions, only Champagne, through its non-vintage cuvées, tries to “iron out” these differences, to maintain a consistent “house style.” Jacquesson is an exception. In the late 1990s, the Chiquets began to believe that being bound to a house style forced a choice between consistency and quality (with consistency winning). So rather than making a consistent wine every year, they set out to make the best possible blend each vintage. In other words, Jacquesson chose expression over consistency. And so, with the 2000 vintage, Jacquesson created a stir when they announced that its 150-year-old non-vintage Perfection Brut label would be retired and replaced with a numbered, vintage-based cuvée (the first being ‘728’). Each year, a new-subsequently numbered-cuvée is released, with Cuvée No. 734 based on the 2006 vintage, Cuvée No. 733 on the 2005 vintage, etc. This innovation has marked a breakthrough in vineyard expression, revealing remarkable minerality in the wines’ transparency. Not surprisingly, it has received a chorus of critical acclaim from both connoisseurs and the press, with Peter Liem, for example, calling it, “consistently one of the best non-vintage bruts on the market.” The assemblage of each numbered cuvée changes from year to year, though it always a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier primarily from the base year. But the winemaking remains the same: vinification in large old oak barrels, on the lees, with weekly batonnage, minimal dosage and no filtration. In each cuvée, there is also a certain percentage of reserve wine. So great is Jacquesson’s commitment to this program that it has decided, beginning with the 2009 harvest, to no longer make its coveted vintage-dated prestige cuvée. Jean-Hervé explains the decision in the form of a question: how can they hold up the numbered cuvées as the complete expression of Jacquesson’s vineyards if they withhold some of the best fruit? That’s the kind of devotion to quality that is seldom seen in Champagne today. Alongside the esteemed ‘700 Series’ cuvees, the house produces tiny quantities of its terroir-based cuvées—each from a unique parcel of vines. These Champagnes showcase some of the region’s finest terroirs, with Peter Liem calling them, “mandatory purchases for anyone interested in the terroir of Champagne, demonstrating an extraordinary vinosity and expression of place.” The lieu-dit (single-vineyard) lineup includes: Champ Caïn, 100% Avize Chardonnay; Corne Bautray, 100% Dizy Chardonnay; Vauzelle Terme, 100% Aÿ Pinot Noir; and a saignée rosé, Terres Rouge, which, from 2007 onwards, will be produced entirely from Pinot Noir. (Previously, it had been a blend of Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir from this special site.) Jacquesson is also famous for its older vintages—left undisgorged in its cellars until release fifteen or more years after the vintage. These wines are further distinguished by their fabulous Baroque labels, of the type that Jacquesson used in the 1840s. Until 1999, Non-Vintage Brut reigned supreme over all Champagne. A convention of homogeneity which tied the hands of those who made the wines. And then, everything changed. "Why aim for average when you can achieve excellence?" The Domaine then proclaimed its independence, illustrated in this Manifesto of the 700: to make the best possible blend every year. Plots, grape varieties, terroir, heart and soul of men: the entire estate had to unite in a bottle, in the spirit of a vintage, with reserve wines, for a single Champagne, each year different, each year sublimated. Since then, every bottle proclaims its independence with the three digits of its birth, starting with the 728th Cuvée from the Domaine. Never exactly the same,nor completely different. If you love Krug like I do and you have never tried Jacquesson, this is a great opportunity as we have the lowest price in the country on almost everything on this offering! Jacquesson Cuvee 747 Champagne at the Lowest Price in the Country!! NV Champagne Jacquesson Cuvee 747 Extra Brut MAGNUM Price: $210.00 Sale Price: $145.50 Quantity in Stock: 3 NV Jacquesson Champagne Brut Cuvee 747 Price: $89.00 Sale Price: $55.00 Quantity in Stock: 180 increased red fruits, the Cuvée 700 series is all about expressing both terroir and the vintage – the wine changes with each release, rather than being a consistent house blend. The base for 747 is 2019, showing a subtly developing maturity of roasted almonds, biscuit, and mushrooms but still incredibly fresh with high acidity and a dry, lean, linear palate filled out with a creamy texture and red apples. Intense and age worthy. NV Jacquesson Cuvee 742 Degorgement Tardif Brut Champagne MAGNUM Price: $382.50 Your Price: $285.00 Quantity in Stock: 3 NV Jacquesson Cuvee 742 Degorgement Tardif Brut Champagne Price: $169.50 Your Price: $129.00 Quantity in Stock: 6 (94 points) "(2014 base vintage; disgorged June 2018; 41% Avize and Oiry, 59% Aÿ, Dizy and Hautvillers; 1.5g/L dosage). Jean-Hervé Chiquet describes 2014 as a difficult vintage with some tense acidity, so he had too make a selection. Chardonnay was very good and the finished result was better than he was expecting from a challenging harvest. There is no question that the house is better positioned than ever to deal with the vagaries of Champagne’s seasons. The characterful distinction of the Jacquesson style is ever more defined as the house more tightly hones its sourcing, viticulture and vinification. The fruit hails from more noble sources than in the past, gripping grand terroirs with greater confidence of structure and tension, upholding taut focus of lemon and grapefruit amidst characterful expression of red apple fruit, tangy grapefruit and crunchy crab-apple bite. It’s riper, too, in a full straw hue, with flickers of exoticism reflected in persimmon, tangelo and pomegranate, yet at every moment vibrant, citrus-driven and honed. Skilfully managed barrel work spins beautifully woven texture without oxidation or oak character, building a fine, creamy mouthfeel that amplifies salty minerality. A well-crafted and characterful wine of great persistence and tension. (2020-2021)" Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide): 2015 Jacquesson Dizy Terres Rouges Extra Brut Millesime Champagne Price: $175.00 Your Price: $148.75 Quantity in Stock: 6 (95 Points) "The 2015 Champagne Dizy Terres is made from Pinot Noir grown on red calcareous soils along with some limestone. A copper golden color, the fruitiness comes to the forefront as it opens, with loads of red fruit leaping from the glass along with notes of quince and peaches. On the palate, it has a tremendous personality to its character, offering notes of toasted bread and citrus oils as well as a lovely spice to the mousse that it enhances on the palate. A full-bodied expression with a long finish, this is a wonderful and broad cuvée to enjoy over the coming 20 years. Disgorged in April of 2023, this saw zero dosage." 12/24 Jeb Dunnuck, Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com The Dizy Terres Rouges 2015 is a truly unique and exceptional Champagne that speaks directly to Jacquesson’s commitment to terroir-driven, minimal intervention winemaking. Made from Pinot Noir grown in the Dizy vineyard, this single-vineyard cuvée represents the purity and expression of this remarkable plot. The 2015 vintage was marked by a mix of dry weather and heat, creating perfectly balanced fruit with exceptional ripeness. With no filtration or fining, this Champagne is as pure as it gets, showcasing Jacquesson’s dedication to preserving the integrity of the vineyard. The result is a full-bodied Champagne with layers of complexity and a long, structured finish. 2009 Champagne Jacquesson Dizy Corne Bautray Brut Price: $297.00 Your Price: $261.36 Quantity in Stock: 3 (94 points) "Disgorged in April 2019 without dosage, the 2009 Extra-Brut Premier Cru Dizy - Corne Bautray is showing well, opening in the glass with aromas of clear honey, dried white flowers, nougat, yellow apple, fresh peach and walnuts. Medium to full-bodied, it's elegantly vinous, with fine depth at the core, ripe but racy acids and chalky back-end grip. This is the most immediate and demonstrative of Jacquesson's lieux-dits in the 2009 vintage." Wine Advocate.

"Between 5/22/85 and 5/4/88, the French writer Jean-Paul Kauffmann was held chained and often blindfolded in a Beirut basement [by a] Shiite Muslim fundamentalist group. A lover of Bordeaux, Mr. Kauffmann recited daily the list of the 61 greatest chateaux drawn up in 1855. He strove to conjure up the aroma of a Chateau Margaux or a Leoville-Poyferre. Occasionally a small miracle would occur, and the scent of black currants and plum would permeate the dusty heat of Lebanon." - Roger Cohen, "Ways of Doing Time," New York Times, 5/4/97 If I were ever in the same predicament, I could see myself doing something very similar to pass the time. Even one day without wine is hard for me to imagine but to be in a situation where I had to go weeks may just do me in. If you invested in first growths from 1982 you would have paid around $50 per bottle for these wines upon release. Today, we have the 1982 Lafite Rothschild for sale on this offering at a price of $2999.00. The 1982 vintage was one of the best investments that you could have ever made in the world of fine wine and we are drinking some great wines tonight from 1982. As I always say- “we are doing scientific work with wine here at the Wine Watch”. This is considered by many to be one of the greatest vintages in Bordeaux’s history and it made wine critic Robert Parker Jr. famous as he was one of the only people at that time that waxed poetic about the young wines. If you have these wines in your cellar today they are drinking at or near their peak and we will be opening ten wines from the 1982 vintage tonight. Many of the lesser wines are past their peak to day but the top wines are still drinking beautifully and we have an amazing selection of classified growth Bordeaux on the table tonight. The fee for this tasting is less than the price of several of the wines on the table tonight and there are only 12 spaces available. Chefs Toni and Dani will be making a special meal to accompany the tasting wines and the fee for this event which includes dinner is $1595 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com. 1982 Vintage Bordeaux Wine Tasting Friday, November 28th 7:30pm 1982 Chateau Cheval Blanc Saint-Emilion 1982 Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste Pauillac 1982 Chateau La Mission Haut Brion Pessac Leognan 1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac 1982 Chateau Lafon Rochet St Estephe 1982 Chateau Latour Pauillac 1982 Chateau Margaux Margaux 1982 Chateau Mouton Rothchild Pauillac 1982 Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 375ml 1982 Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande Pauillac Menu Selection of Cheese and Charcuterie Burrata Salad with Grilled Zucchini and Squash served with Sundried Tomato Vinaigrette Beef Tartar with Italian Sturgeon Caviar Served Over Bone Marrow Seared Duck Breast with Currant Bordeaux Demi Glaze and Truffle Fries Lemon Meringue Pie The fee for this tasting which includes dinner is $1595.00 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com.

All the 1982 Vintage Bordeaux in the store on SALE!! 1982 Chateau Cheval Blanc St. Emilion, France Price: $2400.00 Sale Price: $1795.00 Quantity in Stock: 8 (96 Points) All in harmony. Deserves its reputation. Dark ruby. Smoke, black truffle, berry and cherry. Full-bodied, velvety and fine.--Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2005. –JS Wine Spectator Issue: Jun 30, 2001 1982 Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou St. Julien Price: $1140.00 Your Price: $1003.20 (96 Points) At a charity dinner in Charleston, SC, the 1982 Ducru Beaucaillou from my cellar was the only corked bottle out of twenty-two. A subsequent tasting revealed one of the all-time great Ducrus, probably matched or eclipsed by several recent vintages (i.e., 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2008). The 1982 is still 5-8 years away from full maturity, but it exhibits a dense ruby/plum/garnet color to the rim as well as a sweet perfume of forest floor, spice box, cedar, and copious quantities of black fruits. Medium to full-bodied and beautifully pure with sweet tannins, this wine has aged more slowly than I initially expected. It is the finest Ducru Beaucaillou produced after the 1961 and before the 2003. With respect to the 1990, I do not own any of this wine, but it was the last of a series of vintages between 1986 and 1990 that were affected by the TCA-like contamination in the estate’s chai, which was completely destroyed and then rebuilt, eliminating the source of these smells. Not every bottle is affected by this, but I do not have any source for this vintage. Release price: ($140.00/case) Wine Advocate # 183, Jun 2009 1982 Chateau Duhart-Milon Pauillac, France Price: $365.00 Sale Price: $295.00 Quantity in Stock: 6 (94 points) This blockbuster was a sleeper of the vintage long before the Rothschilds invested so heavily in modernizing this estate as well as began making a stricter selection. Close to full maturity, the 1982 Duhart Milon exhibits classic notes of creme de cassis, cedar, and flowers, medium to full body, a high level of glycerin, and a lusciousness and fleshiness that are very much in keeping with the vintage. (RP) (6/2009) Wine Advocate 1982 Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste Pauillac Price: $595.00 Sale Price: $475.00 Quantity in Stock: 31 (96 Points) This is a tour de force, and one of the all-time great Grand-Puy-Lacostes ever produced, as I hope the 2000 and 2005 will become. This is an inky/purple, beefy, broad, super-rich Pauillac revealing classic creme de cassis notes intermixed with hints of spring flowers and crushed rocks. Full-bodied with sweet tannin, shocking concentration, and layers of fruit, this irresistible 1982 is still an adolescent in terms of its evolution. Anticipated maturity: now-2035. Release price: ($85.00/case) Wine Advocate #183, Jun 2009 1982 Chateau Kirwan Margaux Price: $300.00 Sale Price: $240.00 Quantity in Stock: 1 "The 1982 is a rather loosely knit wine with very good color, jammy, grapey fruit, low acidity, and a lush, supple texture. This medium- to full-bodied wine has a precocious personality, a charming fruitiness, and will evolve rapidly. Anticipated maturity: Now." Wine Advocate 1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac Price: $3700.00 Sale Price: $2995.00 Quantity in Stock: 7 (100 Points) The 1982 Lafite possesses a dark, dense ruby/purple color with only a subtle lightening at the rim. Spectacular aromatics offer jammy cherry and black fruits intertwined with lead pencil, mineral, and smoky wood scents. Powerful for a Lafite, this wine unfolds to reveal extraordinary richness, purity, and overall symmetry in addition to stunning flavor depth and persistence. The finish lasts for nearly a minute. Plenty of tannin remains, and the wine displays a vibrancy and youthfulness that belie its 18 years of age. The modern day equivalent of Lafite-Rothschild's immortal 1959, the 1982 will enjoy another 30-70 years of life! An amazing achievement! Anticipated maturity: 2007-2070. Wine Advocate # 129 June 2000 1982 Chateau Latour Pauillac Bordeaux France Price: $3500.00 Sale Price: $2750.00 Quantity in Stock: 14 (100 Points) As I indicated in the review of the 1982 Bordeaux, this is an unusual Latour in the fact that it has always been precocious. It has been jammy, forward, and delicious no matter when the cork was pulled, in total contrast to its two first-growth siblings, Mouton Rothschild and Lafite-Rothschild. The dense, opaque garnet-colored 1982 Latour reveals slight amber at the edge. Sweet, smoky, roasted aromas in the nose combine with jammy levels of black currant, cherry, and prune-like fruit. It possesses extraordinary concentration and unctuosity, with a thick, fat texture oozing notes of cedar wood, tobacco, coffee, and over-ripe fruit. Low acidity as well as high alcohol (for Bordeaux) give the wine even more glycerin and textural chewiness. The finish lasts forever. The only Latour that remotely resembles the 1982 is the 1961, which has a similar texture and succulence. Anticipated maturity: now-2040 The Wine Advocate Issue 129, June 2000. 1982 Chateau Lafon Rochet St Estephe Price: $325.00 Sale Price: $250.00 Quantity in Stock: 31 "This 1982 is plump, rich, and concentrated, but essentially one-dimensional and simple. It offers thick, jammy fruit, but no complexity. There is some tannin in the finish. My instincts suggest this wine needs to be drunk up over the next 10-15 years. Tasted 3 times since bottling with consistent notes." Wine Advocate. 1982 Chateau La Mission Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Bordeaux, France Price: $2250.00 Sale Price: $1750.00 Quantity in Stock: 15 (100 Points) The greatest La Mission Haut Brion made between the 1975 and 1989, the 1982 is, stylistically, a dead-ringer for the ethereal 1959. One of the most massive wines of the vintage, it remains an adolescent in terms of evolution, but it can be drunk with great pleasure if it is decanted 2-3 hours in advance. A thick, unctuously-textured wine with massive richness as well as abundant notes of black fruits, truffles, creosote, scorched earth, smoke, and camphor, a colossal mouthfeel, a layered texture, incredible depth of fruit and glycerin, and copious, but well-integrated tannins that are largely concealed by the incredible amount of fruit. An old school La Mission, it is a tour de force that should continue to age effortlessly for another 40 years. A monumental wine! Wine Advocate # 183 Jun 2009 1982 Chateau Lynch Bages Pauillac (Mid Shoulder Ulige) Price: $420.00 Sale Price: $350.00 Quantity in Stock: 1 (94 Points) This is another Lynch Bages that has never gone through an awkward, disjointed stage where it completely shut down. The color remains a dense ruby with some lightening at the edge. Thick, juicy, succulent notes of creme de cassis intermixed with dried herbs, vanillin, minerals, and anise leap from the glass. Fleshy and full-bodied, with the vintage's voluptuous texture and low acid, fruit/glycerin-dominated flavors well-displayed in its full-bodied personality, this wine tastes young, but is also ready to drink. Anticipated maturity: now-2015. Wine Advocate # 129, June 2000 1982 Chateau Margaux Margaux Bordeaux, France Price: $1999.00 Sale Price: $1695.00 Quantity in Stock: 61 (98 Points) Consistently scoring between 98-100, the superb 1982 Margaux may be slightly bigger, bolder, and more masculine than vintages produced over the last 15-20 years. Its dark plum/purple color is followed by notes of melted tar intermixed with sweet cassis and floral underpinnings. Very full-bodied and dense for a Chateau Margaux, with a slight rusticity to the tannins, it boasts blockbuster power, richness, and impressive aromatics. It appears set for another 30-40 years of life. Wine Advocate # 183 Jun 2009 1982 Chateau Pichon-Longueville au Baron de Pichon-Longueville Pauillac, France Magnum Price: $1595.00 Sale Price: $1250.00 Quantity in Stock: 2 (94 points) Excellent typicity here and a wine that left a lasting impression from the tasting. A floral nose with delicate fruit expression - light, summer red berries. Bright and clean on the palate, quite crystalline and pure with a fine tannic structure. I like the acidity and the sheer brightness. Quite a mineral edge that comes across as a touch lean and austere with liquorice, crushed graphite on the end. This is very enjoyable to drink now but doesn't feel like it has a massive amount of life left. Mentholated on the close of play which gives a nice lift and moreish appeal. (GH) Inner quote mark (5/2023) Decanter 1982 Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande Pauillac Price: $1650.00 Sale Price: $1250.00 Quantity in Stock: 14 1982 Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 375ml Price: $525.00 Sale Price: $425.00 Quantity in Stock: 3 (100 Points) One of the monumental wines of the last century is the 1982 Pichon Lalande. Since bottling, it has flirted with perfection, and was a sprinter out of the gate, which gave rise to questions about how quickly it would begin its decline. However, at age 27, it retains all its glossy, rich, flamboyant cassis fruit, chocolaty, berry jam-like notes, and plenty of earthy, foresty flavors. This is a full-bodied, extravagantly rich Pichon Lalande seemingly devoid of acidity and tannin, but the wine is incredibly well-balanced and pure. It is an amazing effort! Wine Advocate #183, Jun 2009 1982 Chateau Rauzan-Segla Margaux Price: $350.00 Sale Price: $275.00 Quantity in Stock: 10 (92 points) Popular claret culture, in the wake of Robert Parker’s pronouncement many years back that the 1986 vintage of Château Rausan-Ségla was the first top flight vintage here in a generation, tends to ignore the wines made here in the first half of the decade of the 1980s. However, I have been very impressed previously with both the 1983 and 1985 versions, and had higher expectations than any of my guests for the 1982 Château Rausan-Ségla in our lineup. Happily, my expectations were born out with a superb bottle and this has to be one of the finest wines made in the commune in 1982. The bouquet is beautifully complex and quite exuberant, jumping from the glass in the property’s signature blend of black raspberry, black cherry, cigar smoke, dark soil tones, a beautiful spread of spice elements, just a hint of nutskin and a discreet framing of cedary oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and really has an excellent core of fruit (particularly for a 1982 Margaux, as this commune is not as universally successful as most others in this vintage), with excellent focus and balance and still a bit of suave tannin adding backend grip to the long, complex and utterly satisfying finish. This is a bit more sappy at the core than the classical 1983, and has a bit less silky elegance of the 1985, but these three vintages at least prove that the reports of Château Rausan-Ségla not starting its renaissance until the 1986 vintage were a bit tardy! Fine, fine juice. (1/2020) John Gilman 1982 Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte, Pessac-Leognan, France Price: $295.00 Your Price: $259.60 Quantity in Stock: 1 Tasting Notes: Dark crimson. Some ripe red fruit on the nose. Polished tannins and there is energy here. This sample seems to have a more convincing core than yesterday’s sample tasted at the château. Good level of interest and detail here. Even if the level of acidity is higher than usual and the tannins obviously took some taming. Sweeter than some.

“You can’t buy happiness but you can buy wine, and that’s kind of the same thing.” – Anonymous And there are few wines that make me more happy than Burgundy. I was super excited to get a small allocation of Domaine Cecile Tremblay wines as she is one of the hottest up and coming producers in Burgundy today. The wines of Cecile Tremblay have quickly become one of the most sought after among Burgundy collectors and the prices have quickly gone up to show how strong the demand is for these wines. Although the first wines were produced in 2003 with her name on the label, Cecile’s family goes back over 100 years in the wine industry in Burgundy. It is her attention to detail and uncompromising work in the vineyards and in the cellar that has brought about her meteoric rise to fame. The fact that there simply are not enough wines to go around means even at these prices we only received an allocation of bottles for each wine we have listed below. We have the number of bottles listed that are available and that is all we will be able to get this year. The prices below are the best prices you will find anywhere in the world on these wines and with that said many are only showing 2-6 listings on winesearcher! Domaine Cecile Tremblay – One of the Hottest Domaines in Burgundy Today 2022 Domaine Cecile Tremblay Vosne-Romanee Vieilles Vignes, Cote de Nuits Price: $495.00 Your Price: $435.60 Quantity in Stock: 2 This Vosne-Romanée Vieilles Vignes is a blend of 2 parcels of vines. A tiny 0.23-hectare plot in Jacquines planted with 50-year-old vines and Aux Communes planted with 40-year-old vines. Both parcels cover a total of 0.53 hectares. About 2,700 bottles are produced every year. 2022 Domaine Cecile Tremblay Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru Price: $795.00 Your Price: $699.60 Quantity in Stock: 6 (93-96 Points) This cuvée is likely to be a one-off. It comes from the substantial new plot, originally thought to be all Vosne-Romanée Beaumonts but which on closer inspection turns out to be in part Echezeaux. This cuvée has both together. A fine pinky purple, not the deepest. Lifted small cherries. The palate offers significantly enhanced intensity, and indeed a fine tensile strength. At the moment a little wood, but in no way drying the fruit. Drink from 2032-2039. Tasted Nov 2023. Jasper Morris, Review Date: 01/2024 2022 Domaine Cecile Tremblay Vosne Romanee "Les Rouges de Dessus" Premier Cru Price: $975.00 Your Price: $858.00 Quantity in Stock: 3 The vineyard Les Rouges de Dessus sits on the top of the slope in Flagey-Echezeaux directly above the Echezeaux Grand Cru site. 2022 Domaine Cecile Tremblay Les Beaux Monts, Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru Price: $995.00 Your Price: $875.60 Quantity in Stock: 1 (97 Points) This exemplary Vosne Beaux Monts is a paragon of freshness and energy with a lovely depth of rose-petal-scented black cherry flavours touched with notes of smoke and leather. There is an uncommon purity of fruit; this has more precision and intensity to the structure. Tremblay is now working two parcels of Beaux Monts; this wine comes from the one she has worked for a while, in Les Hauts Beaux Monts, which she may or may not assemble with the other one, recently recouped from metayage to Michel Noëllat (tasted separately).(CC) Decanter, Review Date: 01/2024 2022 Domaine Cecile Tremblay Les Feusselottes, Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Price: $895.00 Your Price: $787.60 Quantity in Stock: 3 The name of the cru means "small pits", and the vines are indeed situated in a small hollow in the centre of the village between the two hills of Chambolle. The soil is not at all deep, which may explain the mineral finish of this wine. 2022 Domaine Cecile Tremblay Chambolle-Musigny Les Cabottes, Cote de Nuits Price: $495.00 Your Price: $435.60 Quantity in Stock: 6 (94 Points) This delightful village-level wine is assembled from small holdings in Les Fremiers, Aux Echanges (both right under the premier cru band), and Les Maladières along the Route Nationale. The wines are gently fermented without pigeage, just very gentle pumping over. The result is marvellous, with dense, sweet fruit on the palate buttressed by firm tannins and abundant extract. The approachable, supple style is exquisite, and the refreshing acidity of the vintage leads the wine to a lingering finish.(CC) Decanter, Review Date: 01/2024 2022 Domaine Cecile Tremblay Echezeaux Du Dessus Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits Price: $1850.00 Your Price: $1628.00 Quantity in Stock: 3 (97 Points) This seductive wine appeals along the same lines as the Beaumonts, yet there is more of everything – more lush, dark blackberry and plum fruit, more liquorice spice on the attack, and more density and tannic grip on the palate. The texture is velvety and dense, yet there is also great finesse and a concentrated, focused finish. The grapes come from two biodynamically farmed parcels in Echézeaux du Dessus. This wine should open relatively young and drink well for two decades or more. This is a magnificent wine in a great vintage.(CC) Decanter, Review Date: 01/2024 2022 Domaine Cecile Tremblay Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru Cote de Nuits Price: $1950.00 Your Price: $1716.00 Quantity in Stock: 1 (98 Points) This superb offering has everything one can hope for from this appellation, yet it is a model of understated elegance. Initially with floral and spicy fruit intensity, the texture is silky and approachable, yet substantial extract and firm tannins make themselves felt on the long finish. Grapes are from the domaine’s 0.36ha plot in Les Gémeaux at the base of the Clos de Bèze slope. Despite its approachable nature, this has the substance to age for decades. Biodynamic.(CC) Decanter, Review Date: 01/2024 2005 Domaine Cecile Tremblay Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru Price: $2250.00 Sale Price: $1799.00 Quantity in Stock: 1 (94 Points) I have had some lovely old Chapelles from Domaine Trapet from their golden age, and I was extremely excited to have an opportunity to taste Cécile Tremblay’s example of this underrated vineyard. Her vines are a lovely fifty years of age in Chapelle, and she has used thirty percent new oak for the elevage of this wine in 2005. The wine is also beautifully perfumed, as it delivers notes of black cherries, red plums, dusty rose, cocoa powder, blood orange, a lovely base of soil and just a whisper of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is medium-full, suave and intensely flavored, with a juicy kernel of fruit at the core, great elegance, bright acids, very supple tannins, and great grip on the long, velvety and utterly refined finish. Again, this is not a blockbuster in terms of weight, but there is no shortage of intensity here, and it has the flawless balance to age with tremendous grace. I wish more young vignerons were making wines like this. A very sophisticated bottle. (Drink between 2012-2040) John Gilman, Review Date: 11/2006 A bit about Domaine Cecile Tremblay: Cécile Tremblay has quickly become renowned as one of the most gifted viticulturists in Burgundy, hails from an esteemed lineage of winemakers. The family legacy can be traced back to 1921 with the marriage of her great-grandparents, Edouard Jayer, a skilled cooper from Nuits-Saint-Georges, and Esther Fournier, who brought her family’s vineyards into the union. This marriage marked the beginning of their own Domaine, a venture that flourished and expanded under their stewardship. The Domaine's vineyards, cultivated and nurtured over generations, were divided among their five offspring. Renée, their youngest daughter, kept her portion of the vineyards, employing the traditional métayage system. Renée’s daughter, Marie-Annick continued this practice alongside with her husband, they not only preserved but also added to the family's vineyard holdings, adhering to the métayage model. Their legacy has now been passed on to Cécile Tremblay. Cécile was educated with a formal degree in enology and viticulture from Dijon University and assumed control of the vineyards in 2002. Armed with a formal degree along with a commitment and passion for winemaking and viticulture she launched her first wines under the label Domaine Cécile Tremblay with the 2003 vintage. Cécile's wines were receiving accolades from the critics and collectors from the very first vintage. In just a few short years her wines were finding their way into the wine cellars of some of the most astute Burgundy lovers and adorned the wine lists of France's finest restaurants. In the early years, Cécile honed her craft in a make shift winemaking space in Vosne-Romanée, some referred to as a “garage.” In 2013, she was able to afford making a serious upgrade in her facility moving into a newly constructed winery beside her residence in Morey-Saint-Denis. The winery is also conveniently located next to one of the finest dining establishments in the region the Castel de Très Girard restaurant in Morey Saint Denis. The new winery is a testament to her dedication, sucess and growth. Domaine Cecile Tremblay has accumulated a small range of appellations that boasts vineyards situated in some of the most coveted villages. The portfolio includes an exquisite Vosne-Romanée Village wine complemented by a small yet important .23-hectare plot of 40-year-old vines in the premier cru Les Rouges du Dessus. A distinct aromatic profile boasting robust structure this wine is produced from a 75-year-old plot of vines in the premier cru Les Beaumonts which until 2022 was a tiny cuvee (2-3 barrels a year). In 2022 Domaine Tremblay added 2.5 hectares of Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Beaumonts to the line-up. Previously the vines were coming from the family but were leased to other people, they also added a few rows of Clos Vougeot Grand Cru. In Chambolle-Musigny, Cécile's holdings include .5 hectares of 50-year-old vines in the premier cru Les Feusselottes. These vines are alongside several village-level plots that are utilized in the Chambolle Musigny Aux Echanges Cuvee. This Cuvee is noted for its natural vinification process, avoiding the use of sulfur and only bottled in Magnum format. Three is an additional .40-hectare parcel of half-century-old vines in the Grand Cru Chapelle Chambertin which yields one of Cécile's most acclaimed wines which is only rivaled by the Echézeaux du Dessus, which is consistently one of the finest wines from that vineyard. The Echézeaux du Dessus, features 40-year-old vines and is ideally situated in the lieu-dit, bordering Grands Echézeaux. The vineyards were in a bad state when Cécile Tremblay took over in 2002, weak due to an overuse of chemicals products. Educated on the importance of the biodiversity in the vineyards Cécile started the long painstaking conversion process to biodynamic management immediately. The entire domaine was certified organic as of 2005 and biodynamic in 2016. Cécile’s meticulous work in the vineyards is carried out the entire year and ensures that when harvest time arrives each vine produces fruit that best reveals each terroir. Just prior to harvest, Cécile spends hours in her vineyards testing grapes to ensure that the bunches from the bottom end of a row of vines, to the upper end of each row of vines are consistency ripe. A first strict sorting is carried during harvest out in the vineyards. Then the grapes go to refrigerated trucks to spend the night. The next morning at the cellar, the grapes are sorted again and only them does Cécile decides whether they need to be de-stemmed or not. Cécile does not have set rules her decisions are guided by the conditions of each specific vintage and how those conditions that year impacted each and every plot. After cold maceration fermentation takes place in wooden vats with only indigenous yeasts. Cécile choses to use pigeage or remontage sparingly but it depends on the vintage and what she tastes in the wines while developing in the cellar. After a gentle pressurage, the wines are transferred into barrels for 12 to 18 months of aging with no racking. The barrels come from Stéphane Chassin, one of the best cooper in Burgundy. She has each barrel tailor-made to suit the identity of each different cuvée. Cecile selects each of the barrels meticulously and the location of the oak used to make the barrels is denoted on the barrels. Not many producers anywhere in the world go through such a rigorous process to ensure that every aspect of production is at the highest level of quality possible. All of Tremblay’s wines are bottled unfiltered and unfined with NO TCA guarantee corks. To ensure authenticity and traceability all Cécile Tremblay bottles are numbered. In 2019 she added to each bottle a RFID chip to ensure the traceability. Cecile Tremblay also uses eProvenance services on all her shipments leaving the winery to ensure the cold chain is kept up during the entire process of moving the wines from start to finish. This ensures they arrive to the warehouse of every importers in the same condition they left the winery.

The history of the property is certainly as interesting as the wine itself and is too long and complicated to recount in the short space at hand. Nevertheless, the high points bear repeating. As with most wines of the Médoc, the fame of Lafite first dates from the eighteenth century. During the reign of Louis XV, Lafite was owned by the very powerful and wealthy Marquis de Ségur, who also owned Latour, Mouton, and Calon Ségur. Upon Ségur's death in 1755, the estate became embroiled in a long and complex battle among the heirs. Over the course of the next one hundred years, it was auctioned twice - the second time in 1868 to the scion of a famous Paris banking family, Baron James de Rothschild. The selling price was an astounding 4,400,000 francs. To properly appreciate the significance of this sum, the equally prestigious Mouton-Rothschild had sold a little more than a decade earlier for one quarter of that sum. The lofty price paid for Lafite was due in no small part to the enormous prestige the property enjoyed as a result of the famous 1855 Grand Cru Classification. At the Paris Exposition in that year, Bordeaux brokers and merchants compiled a list of the top sixty Médoc chateaux and ranked them in five groups. Lafite was placed at the very top of the first group - first of the firsts. Also shortly after the sale to the Rothschilds in 1868, a famous auction of some of the chateau's wonderful old vintages was held. This was a remarkable event, for the wines fetched hitherto unheard of prices - with the 1811, the great Comet vintage, commanding the highest price of all. It was without doubt the greatest wine auction that had ever been seen up to that time. Over the years to the Second World War various Rothschilds ran the chateau, but after the war it seemed that Lafite was just one of many jewels owned by the family - an interest and concern to be visited and supervised when necessary. The period after 1945 was not one of neglect, but the property certainly did not get the care and attention that cousin Baron Philippe fostered on his beloved Mouton-Rothschild. As a result many felt that Lafite gradually began to lose its place of preeminence during the postwar years and that the last great Lafite was produced in the 1959 vintage. In fact, another vintage the equal of the 1959 was not seen for nearly two decades. That was in 1975, the same year that year that the chateau hired a new winemaker, Jean Crete, formerly of Leoville Las Cases and also engaged the consulting services of Emile Peynaud, the famed University of Bordeaux enologist. In 1977 a new generation Rothschild, Eric de Rothschild, arrived to oversee the property and become a hands-on proprietor. The stage was set for Lafite's return to greatness, and the 1975 vintage proved that Lafite still had the stuff. With nearly 200 acres under vines and an average annual production of 20,000 cases, Lafite is the largest of the first growths both in terms of area and production. The vineyards lie on slopes in the northern end of the commune of Pauillac. Across a meadow on its northern border lies the commune of St. Estèphe and the imposing Chinese Gothic architecture of Chateau Cos D'Estournel. On the Pauillac side, Lafite adjoins Mouton at many points. The chateau itself is a pleasing compendium of medieval turrets and seventeenth and eighteenth century buildings standing among a row of trees on a hill above the famous Routes des Chateaux. The chaise (the cellars where the new wine is aged in barrels) are quite impressive, but even more awesome is the magnificent underground cellar where Lafite's unique collection of old wines goes back to the 1797 vintage. If any one spot on earth is Mecca to the winelover, it is here at Lafite - the one place that connoisseurs the world over must visit once in their lifetime. And what is one to say of the wines of Lafite that has not already been expressed with all the gloriously extravagant rhetorical fantasies of bygone days? Without attempting to outdo the embellishments of some of the greatest writers of wine lore, we will say only that, at its best, Lafite is the quintessential claret - a wine that combines finesse, breed, depth, and longevity. It certainly is a softer wine than Mouton and Latour, the other two great Pauillacs. This is due no doubt to the high percentage of Merlot used in the blend. And what about recent vintages of Lafite? It is true that Lafite went through spotty times. Although 1961, 1966, and 1970 were remarkable vintages for Bordeaux, we were never impressed with the Lafites of those years. However, Lafite has recently made great wines in 1975, 1976 (the best wine in Bordeaux in that vintage), 1978, 1979, 1981, 1982 (a monumental year for Lafite), 1985, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1995, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2015, 2016 and 2018. 1978 Chateau Lafite Rothschild 'Carruades de Lafite', Pauillac, France Price: $395.00 Sale Price: $330.00 Quantity in Stock: 6 "This wine is distinctively herbaceous and cedary, with surprisingly high acidity, and aggressive tannin in the finish. Its medium garnet color and smoky, roasted herb-scented nose are followed by a wine with good fruit on the attack, but an angular, sharp finish. The wine appears to be closer to full maturity than its younger sibling, the 1979." Wine Advocate 1983 Chateau Lafite Rothschild 'Carruades de Lafite', Pauillac, France Price: $425.00 Sale Price: $350.00 Quantity in Stock: 14 (93 points) "The 1983 vintage was a little more difficult in Pauillac than down in Margaux, but the evolution has been extremely slow and it still tastes hugely enticing, with cigar box and touches of underripe tea leaf notes balanced by some lovely soft cassis and brambly autumnal fruits edged with cold ash. Drinking Window 2018 - 2030." Wine Advocate. 1975 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac (mid shoulder fill) Price: $1450.00 Sale Price: $1050.00 Quantity in Stock: 13 1975 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac (top shoulder fill) Price: $1450.00 Sale Price: $1050.00 Quantity in Stock: 10 (93 Points) Three late-released bottles of the 1975 Lafite Rothschild were drinking beautifully, soaring from the glass with scents of sweet red berries, camphor, cigar box and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, ample and enveloping, with a generous core of fruit, melting tannins and succulent acids, this is a soft, seamless wine despite the inherently firm style of the vintage, and it's at its peak today. (WK) Review Date: 02/2022 Wine Advocate 1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac Price: $3700.00 Sale Price: $2995.00 Quantity in Stock: 7 (100 Points) The 1982 Lafite possesses a dark, dense ruby/purple color with only a subtle lightening at the rim. Spectacular aromatics offer jammy cherry and black fruits intertwined with lead pencil, mineral, and smoky wood scents. Powerful for a Lafite, this wine unfolds to reveal extraordinary richness, purity, and overall symmetry in addition to stunning flavor depth and persistence. The finish lasts for nearly a minute. Plenty of tannin remains, and the wine displays a vibrancy and youthfulness that belie its 18 years of age. The modern day equivalent of Lafite-Rothschild's immortal 1959, the 1982 will enjoy another 30-70 years of life! An amazing achievement! Anticipated maturity: 2007-2070. Wine Advocate # 129 June 2000 1983 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac Price: $999.00 Sale Price: $750.00 Quantity in Stock: 85 (94 Points) The 1983 Lafite-Rothschild is one of my favorite vintages of the decade, and this bottle, served blind, replicates its showing at their 150th anniversary vertical. However, at first, it feels a little disjointed on the nose, but it coheres in the glass, offering lovely blackberry fruit, hints of pain d'épices, black truffle and meat juices. The palate is beautifully balanced with fine-boned tannins, tobacco and morels. There's a bit more white pepper on the finish of this bottle, though persistent as ever. What a wonderful Lafite-Rothschild that, at 40 years, continues to go strong. (NM) Review Date: 08/2023, Vinous 1986 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac Price: $1800.00 Sale Price: $1395.00 Quantity in Stock: 9 (100 points) The 1986 possesses outstanding richness, a deep color, medium body, a graceful, harmonious texture, and superb length. The penetrating fragrance of cedar, chestnuts, minerals, and rich fruit is a hallmark of this wine. Powerful, dense, rich, and tannic, as well as medium to full-bodied, with awesome extraction of fruit, this Lafite has immense potential. Patience is required. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2030. Last tasted 11/94 Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition Jan 1998 wine advocate 1999 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac Price: $1450.00 Sale Price: $1150.00 Quantity in Stock: 1 (95 Points) The 1999 Lafite Rothschild sports an engraved "1999" on the bottle along with an eclipse to mark that significant historical event of August, 1999. It is a quintessential offering from Lafite Rothschild. This prodigious wine is both elegant and intensely flavored, and almost diaphanous in its layers that unfold with no heaviness. An opaque ruby/purple color is accompanied by a complex bouquet of lead pencil, graphite, cedar, creme de cassis, toast, and vanilla. It is medium-bodied, with extravagant layers of richness yet little weight, and a finish that is all sweetness, ripeness, and harmony. This extraordinary Lafite increasingly appears to be a modern day clone of the majestic 1953. A mere one-third of the crop made it into the grand vin! Anticipated maturity: 2007-2030. Wine Advocate # 140 2000 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac Price: $1800.00 Sale Price: $1500.00 Quantity in Stock: 6 (100 Points) Well, well, well - Lafite Rothschild does it again. Ever since manager Charles Chevalier was transferred from his beloved Sauternes property of Rieussec (also owned by the Rothschilds) to Lafite in 1994, there has been a succession of profound wines to emerge from this noble estate. The 2000 Lafite Rothschild, a blend of 93.3% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6.7% Merlot (only 36% of the crop made the grade) has an opaque ruby/purple color, followed by an extraordinary aromatic expression of liquid minerals/stones interwoven with the tell-tale graphite notes, mulberry, black currants, caramel, and tobacco. In the mouth, it is remarkably light on its feet, but somehow seems to pack intense flavors into layer upon layer of fruit and richness that cascade over the palate. A compelling wine, with extraordinary precision, great intensity, and a seamlessness in spite of what are obviously elevated levels of tannin, this wine was provocatively open and beautiful when tasted in January and February, but I am sure it will soon close down. The finish lasted a whopping 72 seconds! This is utterly fascinating stuff. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2050. Wine Advocate # 146 Apr 2003 2003 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac Price: $2250.00 Sale Price: $1450.00 Quantity in Stock: 1 (100 Points) A modern day version of the 1959 Lafite, the 2003 Lafite Rothschild was bottled in mid-May, 2005 after achieving 12.9% natural alcohol – hardly an astonishing figure given the vintage’s weather conditions. A combination of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, it represents a ripe version of the essence of Lafite-Rothschild. Dense purple-colored, with classic notes of graphite intertwined with melted licorice, creme de cassis, smoke, and flowers, it reveals extraordinary richness, opulence, power, purity, intensity, and viscosity. Whether this wine will close down or not is questionable as it is somewhat atypical given its sweetness and softness. Analytically, there are extremely high tannins, which I suspect will assert themselves in the future. Production in 2003 was less than half of normal. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2050. Wine Advocate #164, Apr 2006 2005 Chateau Lafite Rothchild Pauillac Price: $1500.00 Sale Price: $1150.00 Quantity in Stock: 1 (96 Points) Having tasted the 2005 Château Lafite-Rothschild several times both blind and non-blind, it comes across as a First Growth politely requesting more time to "settle". Here, from an ex-château bottle tasted in Bordeaux, it delivers that graphite, pencil-box bouquet that unfurls gradually in the glass, biding its time, graceful but not intense. Parallel to some of its fellow 2005s, it is developing a little more spice, namely thyme and sage, than I recall. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, to wit, a sophisticated Pauillac that priorities elegance and poise over intensity of fruit—in keeping with Lafite Rothschild's style. You come away with the sense that it will take its time and decline, giving away a great deal in its primacy, even if it is still more approachable than the 2005 Latour for example. Therefore, I would be inclined to set this aside for several more years. Tasted November 2014. - Neal Martin Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, July 2016

Chateau Ducru Collectors Series Bordeaux Wine Tasting with Special Guest Cathleen Burke-Visscher Saturday November 15th 7:30pm Let me explain further- this is a two-part event: Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou Collectors Tasting Part 1 The first part of the evening begins at 7:30pm, this is where we will be tasting through a selection of new releases from the Chateau that are listed below. This tasting will take place at the bar and we will serve a selection of cheese and charcuterie to accompany these wines as our guests arrive. 2019 Madame De Beaucaillou Haut Medoc Price: $34.50 Your Price: $30.36 Color bright, deep, purple. Very charming and refined nose. Fresh, fruity, underpinned by a note of French oak, Morello cherry jam, violet. Spicy notes on aeration. Clean attack, silky tannins. A pleasurable wine, delicious, subtle and seductive. Beautiful harmony and elegant femininity. 2018 Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou Le Petit Ducru St. Julien Price: $48.50 Your Price: $42.68 (90 Points) A newcomer to the Ducru-Beaucaillou stable, Le Petit Ducru wine was formerly called Lalande-Borie. It is essentially a third wine, coming from part of the vineyard of Ducru-Beaucaillou. The 2018 Le Petit Ducru is a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. It was aged for 12 months in barrel, in one-third new oak. It has an alcohol of 14.5%. Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with wonderfully pure scents of black and red currants, black raspberries and mulberries plus suggestions of tobacco leaf, bay leaves and fertile loam. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-filling juicy black fruits flavors with soft tannin's and just enough freshness, finishing with an herbal lift. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 2019 Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou Le Petit Ducru St. Julien Price: $52.50 Your Price: $46.20 Quantity in Stock: 8 (90 Points) Notes of blackberries, plums, pencil shavings and violets introduce the 2019 Le Petit Ducru, a medium to full-bodied, velvety and sensual wine that's lively and concentrated, its ample core of fruit largely concealing an abundance of ripe, powdery tannin. It's a Merlot-based blend that includes declassified lots of La Croix and Ducru-Beaucaillou itself. Best after 2021. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 2015 Chateau La Croix Ducru Beaucaillou St Julien Price: $93.00 Your Price: $81.84 The 2015 La Croix de Beaucaillou is a blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. It has a floral note on the nose: small black cherries, blueberry and wilted violets, the last becoming more intense as the initially tight-fisted wine opens in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin. There is very well-judged acidity and its texture is harmonious and silky smooth. The quality is loaded more in the mouth than on the nose at the moment, but it is a seriously classy "deuxième vin" that just needs a little more persistence on the finish. Part Two: Dinner Featuring wines from your cellars The price of admission is one bottle of Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou from your cellar, but here is the catch- we only need 1 bottle of each wine, so the longer you wait to respond the harder it will be to get a seat as you will have to go further back in time because the youngest vintages will be filled up by the first collectors who respond.

A bit about Ducru Beaucaillou: Ducru-Beaucaillou occupies one of the great settings in the Medoc. The chateau is one of the most beautiful in Bordeaux, and the rather distinctive Victorian mansion commands a beautiful view of the Gironde River across some low meadows. The word Beaucaillou translates in French to "beautiful pebble". Just to the south is the beautiful Chateau Beycheville with its stunning manicured gardens. Just to the north lies the vineyards of the great Chateau Leoville-Las-Cases, a chateau that often rivals the great Medoc first growths. In the early part of the nineteenth century this property was known as Bergeron; but when it came into the possession of the Ducru family, their name was adopted, together with that of Beaucaillou, the name the family gave to the place itself. It was under Monsieur Ducru that that this vineyard received great care and improved its reputation considerably. When the great wines of the Medoc were classified in 1855, Ducru was accorded second growth status and was recognized as one of the five leading St. Juliens. Between the two world wars, the reputation of Ducru-Beaucaillou declined considerably. After the Second World War, it came under the management of Jean-Eugene Borie, whose father had purchased the property. Jean-Eugene Borie, known as a devoted winelover and a man driven to excellence, immediately began a concerted effort to regain Ducru's lost position of esteem. The watershed year for Ducru came in 1953; that vintage did more than anything else to reestablish the reputation and standing of Ducru-Beaucaillou. The 1961 was entered in an important blind tasting in Holland in 1978, where it placed first among ten leading growths of the 1961 vintage; it was then placed on a par with the first growths in the second half of the tasting. In most of the important vintages since 1961, Ducru-Beaucaillou has been among the leading ten or fifteen wines of Bordeaux. Bob Parker, in his exciting and comprehensive new book called BORDEAUX, has stated that many vintages (from 1961 onward) of Ducru "can challenge any of the Medoc first growths." Although our tasting experience is not as broad and does not go back as far as other wine authorities, we would have to concur with Mr. Parker on recent vintages of Ducru-Beaucaillou. Of course, the tremendous improvement in quality has not been lost on close followers of the Bordeaux scene. Over the years, the price of Ducru has increased dramatically. Along with Leoville-Las-Cases and Gruaud-Larose, Ducru-Beaucaillou is considered one of the jewels of St. Julien. All three chateaux have been producing outstanding wines in the last few vintages. The positioning of Ducru-Beaucaillou near the river seems to make it a little lighter in breed and more elegant than the typical softer, fruitier St. Juliens. (Chateaux further inland seem to produce softer, fruitier wines.) In their youth the wines of Ducru are a little hard and unyielding (although not as hard as those of Leoville-Las-Cases); and in a good vintage it usually takes about eight or ten years for the wines to approach maturity (in great vintages the wait can be 15 years.) However, the wait is well worth it; these wines often develop into great clarets. All the Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou Available at Wine Watch: 1982 Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou St. Julien Price: $1140.00 Your Price: $1003.20 (96 Points) At a charity dinner in Charleston, SC, the 1982 Ducru Beaucaillou from my cellar was the only corked bottle out of twenty-two. A subsequent tasting revealed one of the all-time great Ducrus, probably matched or eclipsed by several recent vintages (i.e., 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2008). The 1982 is still 5-8 years away from full maturity, but it exhibits a dense ruby/plum/garnet color to the rim as well as a sweet perfume of forest floor, spice box, cedar, and copious quantities of black fruits. Medium to full-bodied and beautifully pure with sweet tannins, this wine has aged more slowly than I initially expected. It is the finest Ducru Beaucaillou produced after the 1961 and before the 2003. With respect to the 1990, I do not own any of this wine, but it was the last of a series of vintages between 1986 and 1990 that were affected by the TCA-like contamination in the estate’s chai, which was completely destroyed and then rebuilt, eliminating the source of these smells. Not every bottle is affected by this, but I do not have any source for this vintage. Release price: ($140.00/case) Wine Advocate # 183, Jun 2009 1985 Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou St. Julien Price: $558.00 Your Price: $491.04 (90 Points) Proprietor Bruno Borie mentioned that this was a late vintage. They started to pick on 30th September, finishing on 11th October. He didn't have exact grape percentages for this year, but he thinks it is probably 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot. Pale to medium brick-brown colored, the 1985 Ducru-Beaucaillou slowly unfurls to reveal notes of Christmas pudding, dried cranberries and bouquet garni with nuances of cast iron pan, dusty soil and woodsmoke. Medium-bodied, the palate has a firm, chewy backbone and oodles of freshness with a core of dried herbs and stewed tea and a slightly rustic finish. -Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1986 Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou St Julien Price: $705.00 Your Price: $620.40 Quantity in Stock: 2 (94 Points) Medium brick in color with a touch of brown, the 1986 Ducru-Beaucaillou reveals growing notes of dried mulberries, kirsch and raisin cake with nuances of celery salt, dried bay leaves, truffles and charcuterie plus hints of old leather sofa and fallen leaves. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has quite a powerful structure with firm, chewy tannins and bold freshness supporting the muscular, dried berries flavors, finishing long with a dried mint kick. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1988 Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou Saint Julien, France Price: $558.00 Your Price: $491.04 (93 Points) This is a little softer than the 1986, with coffee, plum and cassis notes. It's highly appealing right now, sweet and caressing as it opens in the glass, but this is one to drink within the next five to 10 years. The exact blend was not recorded, so the blend shown reflects the vineyard plantings, with 5% Petit Verdot. (JA) Decanter, Review Date: 05/2019 2000 Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou St. Julien Price: $578.75 Your Price: $509.30 (95 points) A stunning wine from Ducru Beaucaillou which showcases its great terroir, this elegant but substantial 2000 has a dense purple color that has hardly budged since it was first bottled. Displaying a floral note, with hints of boysenberries, black raspberries, black currants and a touch of background oak, the wine has superb concentration and density, but still has some substantial tannins that are not yet fully resolved. I originally predicted that it should be drinkable from 2010-2030, but I would modify that now to 2015-2035. Wine Advocate #189 Jun 2010 2003 Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou St Julien Price: $395.00 Your Price: $347.60 Quantity in Stock: 6 (96 Points) One of the most compelling Ducru Beaucaillou’s made in the last quarter century is the 2003 (which is also the first vintage to be packaged in an impressive heavy glass bottle with a special long cork). A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot, it is a powerful, tannic, blockbuster effort revealing a liqueur of mineral-like component intermixed with creme de cassis, raspberry, and flower characteristics, and an atypically high 13.5% alcohol. Having firmed up considerably since bottling, it exhibits tremendous definition, weight, and concentration. It is a wine for patient connoisseurs. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025 . A brilliant tour de force! Wine Advocate # 164, Apr 2006 2006 Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou St. Julien Price: $423.00 Your Price: $372.24 (94 Points) Deep garnet in color, the 2006 Ducru-Beaucaillou delivers expressive Black Forest cake, blackcurrant cordial and chocolate box scents with touches of fertile loam, espresso, Marmite toast and black olives. Medium-bodied, the palate is elegantly played with vibrant fruit expression and a firm, grainy texture, finishing with a lively lift. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 2008 Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou St. Julien Price: $405.00 Your Price: $356.40 (94 Points) Deep garnet colored, the 2008 Ducru-Beaucaillou begins a little broody, giving up glimpses of tar, chargrill, moss covered tree bark and fungi scents over a core of baked plums, warm cassis and blackberry compote plus a touch of unsmoked cigars. Medium-bodied, the palate has firm, ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness supporting the earth laced black fruit layers, finishing minerally. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 2009 Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou St Julien Price: $633.75 Your Price: $557.70 (100 points) The 2009 Ducru Beaucaillou will eclipse the brilliant wines produced in 2005, 2003 and 2000. It will be interesting to see how the 2009 fares against the 2010 after 20 years of aging, but my money is on the 2009. A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot that achieved 13.5% natural alcohol, this inky purple, unctuous wine possesses classic aromas of graphite, creme de cassis, blueberries, violets, licorice and Christmas fruitcake. Full-bodied and intense with Ducru’s inimitable elegance and purity, it should firm up in the bottle after 7-10 years of cellaring and last for 40-50 years. Magnificent! (RP) (2/2012) Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 2010 Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou St Julien Price: $516.00 Your Price: $454.08 (98 Points) With loads of minerality, a terrific opaque purple color, and slightly more structure and tannin than either Poyferre or St.-Pierre (and that's saying something), this is a blockbuster, fabulous Ducru Beaucaillou that should be at its best a good decade from now and last 40-50 years. The proprietor is not alone in thinking this is the finest Ducru Beaucaillou since the 1961. The classic wet rock, creme de cassis, subtle oak and gravelly stoniness of the vineyard come through in this spectacular, full-bodied, gorgeously pure and intense effort. This is wine for the ages that should be forgotten for at least a decade. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 2014 Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou St. Julien Price: $375.00 Your Price: $330.00 (95 Points) Very deep garnet in color, the 2014 Ducru-Beaucaillou springs from the glass, offering vibrant notions of fresh black currants, black cherries and black raspberries with touches of spice box, licorice and fragrant soil plus a waft of lavender. Medium-bodied, the palate bursts with lively, crunchy black fruits, supported by ripe, grainy tannins and finishing on a lingering spicy note. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 2015 Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou St. Julien Price: $420.00 Your Price: $369.60 (97 Points) Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Ducru-Beaucaillou rocks up with flamboyant baked black plums, crème de cassis, blueberry compote and chocolate-covered cherries scents plus hints of cinnamon stick, black tea and candied violets. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is laden with black fruit preserves and spicy accents, with a firm, velvety frame and finishing with great length and perfume. Ideally, I'd give it another year to fan out just a bit more, but it is coming around nicely and is already fantastically delicious! Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 2017 Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou Saint-Julien Price: $300.00 Your Price: $264.00 (98 Points) One of the wines of the vintage in the Medoc, the 2017 Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou comes from 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot from tiny yields of 35 hectoliters per hectare. Brought up in new barrels, it offers stunning notes of pure creme de cassis, unsmoked tobacco, lead pencil, and crushed rocks. Showing a touch of spring flowers with air, full-bodied richness and depth, awesome tannin quality, and a laser-like level of precision and purity, it’s going to need a decade of cellaring yet will have 40-50 years of prime drinking. Hats off to proprietor Bruno Borie for another magical wine. Jeb Dunnuck 2018 Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou St. Julien 3 Liter Price: $1488.00 Your Price: $1309.44 Quantity in Stock: 1 (98 Points) The 2018 Ducru-Beaucaillou is composed of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot, aged 18 months in 100% new barriques. It has a pH of 3.7, 14.5% alcohol and an IPT (total polyphenol index) of 95. Deep purple-black colored, it has a powerful nose of baked black cherries, blackberry preserves and crème de cassis with nuances of menthol, pencil lead, cedar chest and Indian spices, plus fragrant wafts of violets and licorice emerging after a few minutes. Medium to full-bodied, the palate bursts with impactful black fruits and exotic spices layers, supported by firm, ripe grainy tannins and bags of freshness, finishing on a lingering fragrant earth note. There is a brightness to the wine—surprising freshness—and yet it remains very rich and hedonic, presenting an extraordinary vinous paradox that will blow away fans of this great estate. (LPB) Robert Parker Wine Advocate 2020 Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou Saint-Julien Price: $375.00 Your Price: $330.00 (98 Points) An amazing Ducru, one of the wines of the vintage. Hugely persistent, chiselled and precise, yet succulent in its berry and cassis fruit character. The slate and pencil lead finish slows things down and grabs hold of you, I love the push-and-pull of the tannins. Always a confident and well-finessed wine, really flexing its muscles in 2020. 100% new oak barrels. – Decanter 2021 Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou Saint-Julien Price: $278.75 Your Price: $245.30 (97 Points) Richly scented and vibrant nose of dark fruits, liquorice and cocoa. Supple and invigorating, fresh acidity lifting the expression, nuanced and detailed. Softly grained tannins have a chalky aspect giving structure and a filling texture, lots of graphite and wet stones with black berry notes and such energy throughout. Juicy and alive, this is classic in the best sense, and has immediate charm but with the potential to age. I also love the fresh, zesty orange aspects and cool lift throughout. - Decanter

A bit of history on Louis Jadot: Maison Louis Jadot was founded in 1859 by the man whose name it bears, Louis Henry Denis Jadot - a young man of Belgian ancestry whose family had settled in Beaune near the turn of the century. At a young age Louis Henry Jadot developed a deep interest in the wines of Burgundy; and by 1826, his father acquired a parcel in the "Clos des Ursules" vineyard in Beaune, which upon his death he bequeathed to his brother, Louis's uncle. Under his uncle's auspices, the young Jadot greatly broadened his experience - first in the cellars in the art of evaluating the wines and then in the vineyards in the study of viticulture. As Louis Henry travelled, he acquired a faithful clientele and in 1859 purchased the respected négociant firm of Lemaire-Fouleux. He gave the firm his name, restructured its operations, and began to expand its business into the export markets of northern France and Belgium. Belgium, once a province of the Duchy of Burgundy and historically the preeminent market for its wines, was, as the Jadot family's ancestral home, of particular interest to Louis Henry. It was there that the Jadot name first began to gain renown. As Maison Louis Jadot grew, its vineyard holdings expanded through the purchase of parcels in Beaune "Theurons" and "Clos des Couchereaux". After the death of Louis Henry Jadot, his son, Louis Baptiste Jadot, enthusiastically carried on the work his father had begun. Louis Baptiste expanded his export markets as well as his clientele in France, reinvesting the profits in the further acquisition of vineyards. He judiciously made purchases in some of the finest and most famous grand and premier cru vineyards of the Côte d'Or - among them an interest in the coveted Chevalier-Montrachet "Les Demoiselles". In 1939, Louis Baptiste Jadot died and left control of the firm to his eldest son, Louis Auguste Jadot, who had assisted in the direction of the business under his father since 1931. Louis Auguste opened and greatly developed the new export market of the United States; he also expanded Jadot's activities in Great Britain, Holland, South America, and New Zealand. In 1954, Andre Gagey joined Maison Louis Jadot as assistant to Louis Auguste Jadot, and this proved to be an important event in the fortunes of the Jadot firm. The extremely capable and affable Gagey was appointed interim managing director of the firm in 1962 when Louis Auguste Jadot died, survived by his wife and a seventeen-year-old son, Louis-Alain. Tragically, Louis-Alain was killed in a car crash at the age of 23 in 1968. Mademoiselle Jadot then gave Gagey full responsibility for the operations of her firm, which was without heirs to run it. Gagey placed the policy of maintaining highest quality above all others; and the impeccable reputation for honesty Maison Louis Jadot enjoys today is the reward of that perseverance. Gagey recently retired and turned the direction of the firm over to his very competent son, Pierre-Henry Gagey. Maison Louis Jadot's headquarters is located in the heart of Beaune. The most glorious of its three cellars, used for storage of older vintage wines, is situated in the Convent des Jacobins once a convent of the patron Saint Dominique, founder of the Dominican order and built in 1477. It was acquired by the Tourliere family in 1802 and has been used by Maison Louis Jadot since 1954. In contrast, the most recent cellar, on the outskirts of Beaune, doubled production and storage capacity as of mid 1986 and is perhaps the most technologically advanced facility in France. All white wines are fermented in cask and aged one year; red wines are aged on average eighteen months. The type of wood used is very carefully selected - Limousin, which imparts aggressive tannins more appropriate to Bordeaux wines, is too harsh for the delicate Burgundies Jadot produces. Wines are fined "the old way," with natural proteins - skim milk for white wines, egg whites for red wines. The wines are then hand-racked at five intervals before bottling to assure perfect clarity and brightness. The Jadot estate today includes ownership of parcels in the vineyards of Chevalier-Montrachet "Les Demoiselles," Corton-Charlemagne, Corton-Pougets, Beaune "Clos des Ursules," Beaune "Theurons", Beaune "Bressandes", Beaune "Boucherottes", Beaune "Clos des Couchereaux, Beaune "Les Chouacheux, and Pernand-Vergelesses "Clos de la Croix de Pierre." In 1986 Jadot acquired the prestigious Clair-Dau Domaine and in 1987 entered into a contract to produce the wines of the renowned Duc de Magenta. In 1990 Jadot again expanded its holdings with the purchase of the Domaine Champy in Beaune with its fifteen acres of very valuable vineyards. In 1994 Jadot purchased another 13.26 acres in prime premier cru vineyards. Since 1986 Jadot has more than doubled the acreage under its domaine, which together with long term contracts, brings over 160 acres of some of the finest vineyards of the Côte d'Or under Maison Louis Jadot's control. In February of 1985, the négociant firm of Maison Louis Jadot was purchased by the American-owned Kobrand Corporation, the sole United States importer of Jadot Burgundies since 1945. This prompted outcries in Burgundy, where it was felt that American ownership would signal the end of an era and that Maison Louis Jadot would never again be the same. A dozen years hence the French now realize that Kobrand has brought nothing but brilliance and capital to this prestigious firm and that Jadot is producing the best wines in the firm's history. Since 1970 the winemaker at Maison Louis Jadot has been Jacques Lardière, who is widely regarded as one of the best in Burgundy. In 1995 he was cited by Robert Parker in The Wine Advocate as one of the top thirteen "Wine Personalities of 1995." Parker said: "Lardière continues to go from strength to strength producing an enormous range of wines...that are among the finest from Burgundy. His flexibility and intelligence in handling diverse vintages makes him a winemaker par excellence." This appears on top of praise previously showered on the firm by Parker in his book titled BURGUNDY. There Parker rates Maison Jadot between four and five stars - near the very top of the pyramid of his rating system. "Most of the red wines from Louis Jadot need 3-4 years in the bottle to round out, but can age for up to 15-20 years, depending on the particular cuvée. The white wines are no less brilliant than the reds." About our Host Thibaut Marquis: Thibaut Marquis is a native of the Loire Valley in France, the homeland of Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc.

"I was in love with a beautiful blonde once. She drove me to drink; that's the one thing I'm indebted to her for." W. C. Fields in Never Give a Sucker an Even Break I have been touting the quality of a freshly opened wheel of Parmesan Reggiano ever since we opened the wine bar when we cracked the first wheel open. The experience is unlike any other with this cheese as soon as you open the wheel the cheese starts to oxidize and harden so the freshly opened wheel is so buttery and creamy it is unlike any Parmesan you have ever tasted. We will be offering freshly cut 24-month aged Parmesan Reggiano for $29 per pound this evening and you know that the wheel was just cut today! If you make it to the tasting, you also get to sample the goods before you buy! Of course, we will be offering six wines to compliment the cheese and we will be serving a special menu prepared with the freshly cut cheese as well. There are only 36 spaces available for this event and the fee for this tasting is $95 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com. You can place an order on-line or over the phone and have your cheese delivered locally with your wine order, but we will only be delivering to the tri county area on the days we are out delivering wine. 24 Month Aged Parmesan Reggiano Wheel Cutting Cheese Sale Tuesday, November 25th 6:00pm 1lb 24 Month Aged Parmesan Reggiano Price: $29.00 Of course, we will be serving a few wines to accompany the cheese! 2020 WAYFARER CHARDONNAY WAYFARER VINEYARD FORT ROSS SEAVIEW SONOMA Price: $97.00 Your Price: $85.36 (96 Points) The 2020 Chardonnay Wayfarer Vineyard has pretty scents of baked apples, beeswax, roasted almonds and toast. The medium-bodied palate has a satiny texture and layered, savory flavors balanced by refreshing acidity, and it finishes long and flavorful. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 2016 Palazzo Cuvee Blanc Reserve Napa Price: $65.00 Your Price: $52.00 Winemaker Notes: Beautiful floral aromas of white peach, pear, and tropical fruit, along with hints of orange blossom laced throughout. Opulent and rich, with great texture and full-body, especially for a white wine. Balanced with bright, zesty acidity & stunning minerality rarely seen in domestic white wines. Delicious passion fruit and white peach flavors. Complex, yet refreshing and balanced. 2019 Casanova di Neri Tenuta Nuova Brunello di Montalcino Price: $153.50 Your Price: $135.08 (97 points) “In my mind, this is the wine that best represents the Casanova di Neri house style. With 30 months of aging in tonneaux, it shows enormous richness and texture, and the stellar fruit quality appears with more primary elegance compared to the more expensive Cerretalto that is released with an extra year of aging. That dynamic is especially pronounced in a comparison of the 2019 and 2018 vintages. The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova has a dark vein of toasted spice, black fruit, ink, blackberry compote, licorice and star anise. Dark as night, it is exceptionally well crafted with a robust delivery of concentrated fruit and solid tannic structure. You can count on excellent cellar potential, or at a minimum, serve it with a classic steak. Production is exactly 69,696 bottles. Drink Date: 2026 - 2050” Robert Parker's Wine Advocate – Monica Larner Review date: December 2023 2016 Chateau Simard Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Price: $42.00 Your Price: $36.96 "This juicy, soft wine with lots of acidity and bright black-currant flavors is made for early drinking. Soft tannins are cushioned by fruitiness. " Wine Enthusiast 2019 Charles Krug Peter Mondavi Family Family Reserve 'Generations', Napa Valley, USA Price: $82.50 Your Price: $72.60 (97 Points) Quietly powerful, dense with alluring oak spices and late-picked fruit flavors, this full-bodied, velvet-textured Cabernet-dominant blend is generous and inviting to drink, but also balanced and structured for the long haul. Concentrated, deep and layered, it is meant for drinking with appreciative friends or family in the future. Wine Enthusiast 2017 REYNVAAN IN THE HILLS SYRAH WALLA WALLA Price: $90.00 Your Price: $79.20 (94 Points) Incorporating a whopping 10% Viognier, the 2017 In The Hills comes from the Foothills in the Sun Vineyard (the same vineyard as the Foothills Reserve) and was aged 11 months in 25% new oak. It offers a more rounded, opulent, softer style (no doubt due to the high Viognier) as well as lots of meaty dark fruits, toasted spice, leather, and chocolate aromas and flavors. It's another beautiful, fleshy, classy Syrah to enjoy over the coming 7-8 years, if not longer. (Drink between 2020-2029) Jeb Dunnuck Menu Prosciutto De Parma Fresh Cut 24 Month Parmesan Reggiano Parmesan Flan Pappardelle Alfredo Pasta Tiramisu This is a seated tasting and is limited to 36 tasters and the fee for this event is $95 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com A bit about Parmigiano Reggiano Parmigiano Reggiano is produced exclusively in the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna to the left of the Reno river, and Mantua to the right of the Po river: this is the area hosting the farms where the cattle are fed on locally grown forage. The feeding of cattle complies with the norms of a strict specification that bans the use of silage, fermented feeds and animal flour. The milk from the morning and the previous evening is poured into the traditional upturned bell-shaped copper vats. It takes about 550 litres of milk to produce each wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano. The milk slowly and naturally coagulates with the addition of rennet and a whey starter, rich in starter cultures, from the previous day’s processing. The curd which forms is then broken down by the master cheese-maker into minuscule granules using a traditional tool called “spino”. This is where fire comes into the picture, in a cooking process which reaches 55 degrees centigrade, after which the cheesy granules sink to the bottom of the cauldron forming a single mass. After about fifty minutes the cheese-maker removes the cheese mass which will give rise to two twin wheels. Cut into two parts and wrapped in the typical linen cloth, the cheese is then placed in a mould which will give it its final shape. A casein plate with a unique and sequential alphanumeric code is applied to each wheel: it is its identity card which makes it possible to trace its entire production back to its origins, anytime and anywhere. After a few hours, a special marking band engraves the month and year of production onto the cheese, as well as its cheese factory registration number and the unmistakable dotted inscriptions around the complete circumference of the cheese wheel. After a few days, the wheels are immersed in a saturated solution of water and salt: it is a process of salting by osmosis. This last passage closes the production cycle of Parmigiano Reggiano and starts its maturation period. The story of Parmigiano-Reggiano is a long one, and also a slow one, following the natural rhythm of the seasons. In fact, the minimum maturation time is 12 months, the longest among all the PDO cheeses, and only at this point can it be decided if each individual wheel is worthy of the name it was given at its birth, and therefore continue the maturation up to 24, 36, 40 months and more. After 12 months, the Consortium experts carry out a test called “quality inspection” on all the wheels: each wheel is tapped with a hammer and the trained ear of the quality inspector recognises any defects inside the cheese that may compromise quality. The conforming wheels are marked with the hot-iron brand thus becoming Parmigiano Reggiano. All identifying marks and signs are removed from any wheels which do not meet the PDO requirements. The quality control identifies three cheese categories: “first-grade” Parmigiano Reggiano: the cheese that fully complies with the production specifications. It is marked with the hot-iron brand. “medium-grade” Parmigiano Reggiano: the cheese that shows minor or moderate defects in the structure of its paste and/or on the rind, yet that do not alter the typical organoleptic characteristics of the product. These wheels are marked with the hot-iron brand, but they can be recognised through the parallel grooves engraved all around the cheese rind. “de-rinded” cheese: the cheese that shows major defects is downgraded by eliminating the marks of origin through the removal of the rind (a few millimetres). Therefore, this cheese cannot be called Parmigiano Reggiano and refer to the PDO in any way. Starting from the 18th month of maturation, dairies may request the Consortium to affix an additional mark on first-grade Parmigiano Reggiano: PREMIUM or EXPORT mark: it gives trading companies and consumers a further indication of the quality of Parmigiano Reggiano. These marks can be affixed also on the packaging of the cheese selected in this way.

"It wasn't always like this. Before Paris, people didn't drink our wine. I mean, my friends did. But you could hardly consider their palates discerning..." Bo Barrett - Bottle Shock We have been good friends with Maison Marque and Domaines for many years and we have hosted at least 100 events over the last 27 years with this family-owned company that was founded in 1987 as the US sales and marketing arm for Champagne Louis Roederer and its California winery, Roederer Estate.

Roederer Estate California Sparkling Wine Tasting with Special Guest Winemaker Arnaud Weyrich Wednesday, November 12, 2025 7:30 PM NV Roederer Estate Brut Anderson Valley Price: $30.00 Sale Price: $25.50 Founded in 1982, Roederer Estate is nestled in Mendocino County’s fog-shrouded, Anderson Valley. As the California property of Champagne Louis Roederer, Roederer Estate builds upon a centuries-old tradition of fine winemaking. The premium grape growing region's proximity to the Pacific ocean gives rise to a gentle cycle of warm days and cool nights, allowing grapes to mature slowly on the vine and develop full varietal character. Among the very few California sparkling wine houses that only sources estate-grown fruit, Roederer Estate is also meticulous about all its farming decisions. The winemaking process begins with in-depth knowledge of the Estate soils to introduce open lyre trellis system or high density plantation, extends to the decision to farm vineyards organically and biodynamically, and finishes by painstakingly tracking grape maturity to achieve perfect balance at harvest. 2020 Roederer Estate "Clark Road Vineyard "Anderson Valley Brut Sparkling Wine Price: $45.00 Your Price: $39.60 When a wine is made from a single vineyard, rather than from a blend of selected lots of wine, it becomes a representation of a specific place. In the case of our newest offering, 2020 Clark Road Vineyard, it is an expression of a specially chosen site on our estate, or what could be referred to as a “grower” wine. The Roederer Estate house style is modeled upon what we learned from our forebears in France, and in that vein, to make a true “grower” Champagne in France, you must get your hands dirty in the process of crafting your wine from the roots up. 2020 Clark Road Vineyard is a hand-made bottling. This vineyard is on the cool west side of Anderson Valley, where Pinot Noir thrives. We are intimately familiar with this site, which we have been farming since 1999. During those years, we have learned that we can leave the fruit on the vine longer than other sites, and as we allow it to ripen, it develops the juicy acidity so essential to top-quality sparkling wine. Flint and pastry crust aromatics showcase long aging on the yeast and give way to delicate ripe cherry flavors. The bubbles are soft on entry. This wine is bold, yet delicate and long. Clark Road Vineyard sparkling wine offers insight into a sense of place, and it validates that we belong here, with our hands in this earth. We are delighted to share it with you. Price: $69.00 Your Price: $60.72 (100 Points) If sunshine could be bottled it would be this. Aromas of fresh succulent stone fruit, a hint of yeast, citrus blossoms and notes of quince on the nose. The mousse is creamy and light with baked red apples, blood orange zest, white grapefruit, sticky caramel and layered salinity with a mouthwatering finish. It will bring a smile to your lips. Cellar Selection Wine Enthusiast NV Roederer Estate Brut Rose, Anderson Valley, USA Price: $36.50 Your Price: $32.12 (93 points) "This wine is pale-pink salmon-hued with aromas of yeasty brioche, fresh raspberry, youthful strawberry, white tea and spiced orange zest on the nose. The midpalate is firm mousse, dried raspberry, orange blossom, gliding into supple orange cream and white grapefruit with a dry finish. Pair with life." Wine Enthusiast. 2015 Roederer Estate L'Ermitage Rose Anderson Valley Price: $105.00 Your Price: $92.40 (94 points) "This effusively aromatic blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Roederer Estate is absolutely delightful. L’Ermitage, both Brut and Rosé, is a special tête de cuvée. This sparkling wine is made only from pre-selected, estate-grown grapes in exceptional years—aromatics of pink cotton candy, ripe apricot flesh and red apple peel. The palate is exquisite and refined. Candied peach, blood orange and a touch of wet chalk to finish." — Decanter, Clive Pursehouse, July 2023 Menu Truffle Parmesan Shoestring Fries Smoked Ducktrap Salmon topped with Italian Sturgeon Caviar on Smashed Tater tots Crispy Pork Belly with Orange Marmalade BBQ Served over Creamy Georgia Grits Fried Chicken Kiev served with Bernaise Sauce and Foie Gras Torchon Toast Fruit tart with Limoncello Whipped Creme The fee for this tasting which includes dinner is $195 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com. Please let us know when you make your reservations if you have any food allergies or dietary restrictions and chefs Toni and Dani will be happy to accommodate you. A bit about Roederer Estate Unlike most of the major Champagne houses which count on independent growers for most of their stocks, the firm of Louis Roederer believed that reliance on others was tantamount to accepting a diminution in quality. Although Roederer was always looking to expand its holdings, it was almost impossible to find vineyards in Champagne that appraised as high as Roederer's average 97.5% rating. In a generation of earnestly searching, Roederer was able to add a meager eight acres to its holdings. Sales had topped out at about 2,000,000 bottles - just about where they had been almost 100 years ago! The house philosophy meant that Roederer had maxed out in Champagne -the only choice was to come to America. In the late 1970's when the decision was made to locate somewhere in the western United States, the president of Roederer, dispatched his uncle, André Rouzaud, who began a two year search from Santa Barbara to Oregon looking for that magic spot for Roederer to sink its roots. An austere Chardonnay discovered in Mendocino's Anderson Valley was the deciding factor. It was taken home to France and scored a first in a blind tasting against Chardonnays from Roederer's top vineyards. From that point forward, the verdict was a go. With the tremendous influx of sparkling wine emigrees we have witnessed in the past two decades, it seemed almost as if Roederer Estate was a Johnny-come-lately. The California beachhead was established by Domaine Chandon in 1973 - then came Piper-Sonoma. Roederer Estate was actually the third man in; but others, Domaine Mumm and Maison Deutz, for example, arrived later but debuted as much as two years earlier. Roederer took its time; the goal was to make wines in America in its own image. One didn't buy land, put down vineyards, build a winery, and bring in special equipment in the space of a year or two. All the others had gotten on line much more quickly than Roederer because they did what they had always done in France - buy grapes from growers. Roederer always eschewed that certain lack of independence and control over their wines - they were determined that their American estate would be different from all the others. In 1982 Roederer purchased almost 600 acres in three locations in the Anderson Valley - overnight they became the valley's largest owner of vineyard property, claiming title to over 40% of the grapes in this small enclave of close-knit growers. They built a winery that might not have pleased the flamboyant style of the late Madame Roederer, but it no doubt precipitated a sigh of relief in the local community. The 48,000 square foot facility, built 2/3 under the ground, was constructed of rustic redwood and blended harmoniously with the existing structures in the surrounding area. It is a stark contrast to the garish and ostentatious château unveiled several years ago by the Taittingers in the Napa Valley at Domaine Carneros. Roederer has spared no expense (it is said that Roederer invested almost $20 million in their American venture) in its attempt to make the best possible wine. According to Rouzaud, "The luxury of being a family business has allowed us not to have to worry about quarterly dividends or independent shareholders...the family realizes that it is going to take a generation to get a return on our substantial investment. In the fall of 1988 we finally experienced the first small returns from a business standpoint." Roederer's uniqueness lies more in its methods of production than in the fact that it's wines are entirely estate grown. What separates Roederer from all others in California is its total commitment to oak. A peek into the cool cask room at Roederer Estate is an impressive sight. There rest the huge 1100 gallon oak casks constructed to house the reserve stocks that are the foundation on which the wines of Roederer Estate are constructed. The beautiful polished barrels imported from central France from the forests of Châteauroux and Tronçay cost $9,000 dollars each. So important are these barrels to the entire Roederer concept that winemaker Dr. Michel Salgues flies to France to personally inspect each new one before it is shipped to the States. The last twelve arrived in the summer of 1990, thus completing the arsenal of 54 vats that will house 30% of Roederer's eventual production of some 85,000 cases. These barrels are the very soul of Roederer's New World foray - these magnificent vessels serve the same purpose back home in France. According to Rouzard, that is an important distinction: "We are not looking for oak in our wines - we are looking for what happens to the wine in oak." Roederer's first release (a blend from the 1985 and 1986 harvests) came in 1988 - it was a small debut with about 4500 cases appearing in select U.S. markets. The vineyards are planted to about 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir, and it is here that Roederer Estate takes a token stab at autonomy from the ways of Mother Roederer. The winery uses almost 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir in the assemblage. Back home in France the ratio is nearly the reverse. The winery introduced about 200 cases of an excellent NV Brut Rosé in 1992; in 1994 production climbed to about 1500 cases. In 1993 Roederer Estate introduced what may be the best sparkling wine yet made in California - it was called "L'Ermitage". 4500 cases of 1989 "L'Ermitage" were produced, and the wine got sensational reviews. A bit about our Host WINEMAKER ARNAUD WEYRICH Arnaud Weyrich began his career at Roederer Estate as an intern after he graduated in 1993 from the prestigious Montpellier school, “Ecole Supérieure d’Oenologie” with a Master of Science in Viticulture and Enology. With a strong background in both viticulture and enology, Arnaud put his education to work during his internship. This experience was the start of a great relationship with Maison Louis Roederer, as he later returned to the company and today holds the title of Winemaker and Vice President of Production. After completing his internship, Arnaud moved back to France to be with his fiancée. This move also included a position with a large retail company where he managed all quality control issues for the beverages under the company’s private label. With his passion for the wine industry and an interest in moving back to a smaller company, Arnaud happily returned to Roederer Estate in 2000. As assistant winemaker, he supervised all winemaking operations while respecting the 200-year-old traditional winemaking techniques so important to the house style of Champagne Louis Roederer. With a strong and diverse background in all winemaking techniques, Arnaud then moved to Reims where he was the Chief Technical Officer in charge of Development for Champagne Louis Roederer for over a year. When the opportunity arose in 2002, Arnaud moved his family back to Roederer Estate and has since managed the winery in all aspects, from the vineyard to the day-to-day business All the Louis Roederer Champagne in the Store on SALE!! 2012 Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Champagne Methuselah 6 liter Price: $15950.00 Your Price: $14036.00 Quantity in Stock: 1 (98 Points) The 2012 vintage of Cristal is the first to be produced entirely from Demeter-certified, biodynamically-farmed fruit, which is a landmark for Maison Roederer. The future is now here! I have been looking forward to this release of this vintage of Cristal for a few years now, but sadly found myself not in top form to appreciate its debut, as I was so suffering from jet lag after my three weeks on the road in November that my energy level was no match for this beautiful young wine. The 2012 Cristal is its customary cépages of sixty percent pinot noir and forty percent chardonnay and none of the vins clairs went through malo this year, with one-third of the blend barrel-fermented. The wine was finished in 2012 with a dosage of 7.5 grams per liter and offers up a beautiful young nose of pear, apple, fresh lemon, white flowers, a very complex base of chalky minerality, a hint of the caraway seed to come and a topnote of white flowers. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and nascently complex, with a racy girdle of acidity, a rock solid core, impeccable focus and grip, refined mousse and stunning length and grip on the poised and perfectly balanced finish. This is another great vintage of Cristal in the making, but it deserves plenty of time in the cellar to blossom properly. Review Date: 11/2019, John Gilman 2016 Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Champagne Price: $395.00 Your Price: $347.60 (98 Points) The 2016 Cristal is a blend of 58% Pinot Noir and 42% Chardonnay with 7 grams per liter of dosage. No malo-lactic was performed here, and 31% of the base wines were aged in French oak. The nose begins with bright red berry notes of fresh raspberries and strawberries before opening out to a complex undercurrent of saffron, white chocolate, talc, baker’s yeast, and emerging wafts of citron blossom and pear tart. The palate is very dry and spicy, not needing even a touch more sweetness thanks to the abundance of ripe berry and citrus flavors, delivering beautifully knit acidity and typically tiny, persistent bubbles. It finishes with notes of effervescent chalkiness and saffron flowers, leaving you reaching for another sip. (LPB) The Wine Independent, Review Date: 07/2024 2015 Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Champagne Price: $395.00 Your Price: $347.60 Quantity in Stock: 1 (95 points) " If the 2014 vintage was especially open and demonstrative, the 2015 Cristal is going to require more patience. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of citrus oil, crisp stone fruits, white flowers, crushed mint and subtle hints of buttery pastry, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a deep, concentrated and rather introverted core of fruit framed by chalky extract and animated by a pretty pinpoint mousse. This is a serious, vinous Champagne that has considerable substance to age and may well evolve along the lines of the lovely 1985." Wine Advocate. 2014 Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Champagne Price: $395.00 Your Price: $347.60 Quantity in Stock: 13 (98 Points) This vivid Champagne has upfront and linear definition, thanks to rapierlike acidity, with finely meshed flavors of ripe black cherry and mandarin orange fruit, raw almond, anise and cardamom spice as well as a touch of honeycomb, which all unfurl and expand on the fine, creamy palate. Sleek acidity continues through to the finish, with additional racy character provided by a streak of minerally saline and chalk, which gains momentum through the midpalate and rings out on the well-cut, lasting finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drink now through 2040. Wine Spectator 2012 LOUIS ROEDERER CRISTAL BRUT CHAMPAGNE Magnum Price: $823.50 Your Price: $724.68 (98 Points) The 2012 Cristal is another absolutely stellar wine this flight of recent releases. Rich, vinous and beautifully textured, the 2012 has been nothing short of magnificent on the three occasions I have tasted it so far. In the glass, the 2012 is radiant and luscious, yet it possesses remarkable transparency and striking aromatic depth. Light tropical notes develop in the glass, giving the 2012 a real feeling of exotic beauty. The 2012 is the first vintage of Cristal done with 100% organically-farmed fruit, an approach introduced gradually starting with the 2007 that has profoundly changes Cristal, especially in its aromatic breadth. Two thousand twelve is the vintage where endless trials and experiments in farming and winemaking are fully realized. The 2012 is just stunning. It's as simple as that. Dosage is just over 7 grams per liter, the lowest it has even been for Cristal. Vinous, Antonio Galloni, December 2019 2014 Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Rose Champagne Price: $673.50 Your Price: $592.68 A “weather waltz”, and one with clear, sharp contrasts! The spring was sunny and dry and ended with a heatwave in June; summer was autumnal, cool and rainy; September was hot, sunny and very dry… weather we would usually associate with the month of August. The ‘key’ to the vintage lay in the soils as well as in the work carried out by the winegrowers. The good drainage properties of the chalk on the lower-middle part of the hillside helped us greatly by allowing the excess water from the summer to drain away which limited any excess vigour in the vines. These factors were complemented by our increasingly eco-friendly viticultural practices which allow us to take our quest for grapes of perfect balance and maturity even further. With its trim, ripe fruit and delicious texture, Cristal Rosé 2014 shows incredible precision. An almost electric delicacy with great intensity of flavour. Pink hue with slightly coppery tints. Dynamic bubbles forming a lingering bead. Pure, precise and dazzling bouquet. The intense Pinot noir aromas take us back to the harvest time with its pure, ripe and concentrated fruit: zesty red berries (red currants, wild raspberries, blackcurrants) and raspberry liqueur. Then come sweet spice and smoky notes with a hint of reduction (smoky, spicy) from the Pinot noir with its notes of undergrowth. Concentrated and broad on the palate, where the red fruit (strawberries, raspberries) is concentrated into a firm, dense texture that reveals itself in two stages that reflect the year's extremes: Initially the texture is silky and broad on entry (the final ripeness) and then followed by a firm and intense freshness (the cool summer). We have a sensation of concentration, of a whirlwind of flavours that burst delicately and gradually like salt bubbles on the palate. The saline, iodine impression combines with the smoky notes and acidity to create umami and an infinitely flavoursome finish 2013 Louis Roederer Cristal Rose Brut Champagne Price: $675.00 Your Price: $594.00 Quantity in Stock: 11 A great rosé champagne must be made from very ripe grapes, which are sometimes difficult to obtain in the Champagne climate. As a result, Louis Roederer has chosen to invest in one of the earliest Champagne crus, Cumières, for which the steeply-sloping, shallow clay and limestone soils face south and benefit from the additional light reflected from the river Marne, enabling phenolic maturity to be achieved. In these select terroirs, Louis Roederer applies the precise winemaking methods required for the production of a saignée rosé. The style of this rosé is elegant, full-bodied and with delicate fruitiness (red fruits). Brut Rosé is 100% estate-bottled from the grapes of the historic family-owned vineyards. Blend: 63% Pinot Noir, 37% Chardonnay 1996 Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Rose Millesime Champagne MAGNUM Price: $2250.00 Your Price: $1980.00 Quantity in Stock: 1 (98 Points) The 1996 Cristal Rose is an intensely-flavored Champagne with an unusually light pale salmon color. Its effervescence is restrained (almost non-existent), but the flavors are intense in this dry, austere, provocative offering. An outrageously great, singularly-styled rose Champagne, it is best served with intensely-flavored food. It is a tour de force in Champagne to enjoy over the next 7-10 years. Louis Roederer does not display a disgorgement date or consumer friendly lot number on its non-vintage Brut. This is regrettable as it has consistently been one of the finer bottlings in this category. (RP) Wine Advocate, Review Date: 12/2005 2017 Louis Roederer Rose Brut Champagne Price: $85.50 Your Price: $75.24 Lovely pink hue with light copper tints. Steady flow of fine bubbles. An immediate bouquet of forest fruit (wild strawberries and raspberries) and citrus (blood orange) with some zesty and powdery petal-like notes (rose-flavored macaroons). Upon aeration, the citrus fruit gives way to iodised and chocolate nuances with a few spicy and resinous (cedar) overtones. The palate is caressingly soft, delicious, delicate and elegant. We have the sensation of a silky texture that softly evaporates to give way to a cloud of delicate and slightly spicy perfumes. The fruit is concentrated and almost liqueur-like on the mid-palate where it is energised by the fresh and iodised flavors. On the finish, the delectable chocolate nuances combine with the chalky freshness to create a lingering and pure impression of salinity. Blend: 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay 2013 Louis Roederer Brut Rose Millesime Champagne Magnum Price: $267.00 Your Price: $234.96 (92 Points) The Roederer 2013 Rosé has a lovely light pink color and opens with highly delicate red fruit and flowery aromas. The wine is light, fresh, pure, very delicate and stimulatingly salty. Very energetic and at the same time caressing. The finish displays pink grapefruit, blood orange, and lime zest flavors. Highly stimulating in its purity, freshness and citrus character. Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon finds it less vinous than the 2012, but he thinks the 2013 has huge aging potential. Disgorged in January, tasted at the domaine in May 2018. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 2012 Louis Roederer Rose Brut Champagne Magnum Price: $220.50 Your Price: $194.04 A great rosé champagne must be made from very ripe grapes, which are sometimes difficult to obtain in the Champagne climate. As a result, Louis Roederer has chosen to invest in one of the earliest Champagne crus, Cumières, for which the steeply-sloping, shallow clay and limestone soils face south and benefit from the additional light reflected from the river Marne, enabling phenolic maturity to be achieved. In these select terroirs, Louis Roederer applies the precise winemaking methods required for the production of a saignée rosé. The style of this rosé is elegant, full-bodied and with delicate fruitiness (red fruits). Louis Roederer Brut Rosé is 100% estate-bottled from the grapes of the historic family-owned vineyards. 2012 was one of the most challenging and complicated years ever experienced in Champagne. Yet difficult conditions often lead to great things… The low yields, due to the vagaries of the weather, combined with continental conditions towards the end of the season, gave us unusual levels of maturity, resulting in rich, full-bodied and structured wines worthy of the greatest vintages in Champagne. On the eye: Golden pink hue with bright red tints. Exceptionally fine, lively sparkle forming even, persistent streams of bubbles. On the nose: Intense bouquet of ripe fruit (blackcurrant) and candied orange, accompanied by subtle notes of orange blossom and Madagascar vanilla. The bouquet is very stable, dense and opens out slowly to reveal a deep, sweet character. On the palate: Smooth and full-bodied on entry to the palate. Its ripe, warm palate is both tactile (silky texture) and rounded (ripe, sweet anthocyanins with an almost liquorous consistency), and is lengthened by a fresh, chalky finish. Subtle notes of hazelnut and cocoa beans linger on the end palate. Varietals: 63% Pinot Noir, 37% Chardonnay Aging: 4 years 2018 Louis Roederer et Philippe Starck Brut Nature Millesime Champagne Price: $115.50 Your Price: $101.6 Charming, delicate and refined, Brut Nature 2018 takes the generous character of the year and turns it into a wave of fruity, saline freshness. It exudes harmony and precision, revealing the exceptional limestone backbone created by these cool terroirs in Cumières. The result of a free-spirited collaboration between the Louis Roederer Champagne House and creator Philippe Starck, this pared-down, zero-dosage champagne captures the essence of Cumières' black soils in a sunny vintage. Produced exclusively in warm, dry years, it reflects our vision of a “climate change laboratory” through its singular taste. For almost 20 years, our Brut Nature has been a marker of the changes occurring in the Champagne region and is a pioneering model of experimentation. Produced exclusively in hot, dry years, it is a forerunner of the champagnes of tomorrow and a platform for experimentation. The winegrowing practices used in its production are tailored to this specific context and offer a glimpse into the future of the region's viticulture. Brut Nature is the embodiment of this changing Champagne region, reflecting the shifting landscape in its restrained style and understated design. A veritable incubator of innovation, Brut Nature benefits all the Louis Roederer champagnes as it helps us anticipate and adapt to these changes. « Brut Nature is the showcase of our most innovative experiments of the last 20 years, it is a ‘laboratory of climate change’ that has allowed us to rediscover certain traditional and sometimes forgotten skills, such as knowing how to bring out the best in the original Champagne grape varieties or the practice of complantation. » — Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, Cellar Master, Champagne Louis Roederer 2015 LOUIS ROEDERER BRUT NATURE CHAMPAGNE MAGNUN Price: $315.00 Your Price: $277.20 2015 Louis Roederer et Philippe Starck Brut Nature Millesime Champagne Price: $99.00 Your Price: $87.12 Quantity in Stock: 1 (94 points) The most compelling rendition of this bottling that Roederer has produced to date, the 2015 Brut Nature exhibits inviting aromas of golden orchard fruit, clear honey, dried white flowers and wet stones. Medium to full-bodied, layered and vinous, with a fleshy, concentrated core of fruit, chalky structure and a long, precise finish, it's a Pinot Noir-dominant blend from Cumières that's slightly lower in pressure, making for a more delicate mousse. (WK)" (8/2022) Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 2015 Louis Roederer Brut Nature Rose Philippe Starck Champagne Price: $112.50 Your Price: $99.00 (94 points) "To produce the 2015 Brut Nature Rosé, Lécaillon and his team picked the ripest Pinot Noir in Roederer's holdings in lieu-dit Les Chèvres a week before the rest of their fruit there, macerating it at low temperature for four to five days before adding some 20% of this Pinot Noir to the same base that produces the regular Brut Nature. Delivering aromas of peach, clear honey, freshly baked bread and almond paste, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a rich, vinous profile, racy acids and a long, chalky finish. This has always been a structured wine, but in 2015, that structure is cloaked in more flesh and texture." Wine Advocate. 2015 Louis Roederer Blanc De Blancs Brut Champagne Price: $105.00 Your Price: $92.40 Quantity in Stock: 6 Inspired by the Champagne House’s savoir-faire in the harvest of a single year, this pure Chardonnay is grown on hillside plots in the Avize terroir in the heart of the “La Côte” estate. This champagne draws its strength from the intense chalkiness of these limestone soils which lend it its infinite freshness. With time, this champagne reveals the power and identity of these great terroirs. Composed of 100% Chardonnay, the Blanc de Blancs Vintage cuvée is generally matured on lees for five years and left for a minimum of 6 months after dégorgement (disgorging) to attain perfect maturity. Carried by the saline freshness of the limestone, this Blanc de Blancs is a slender, straight, luminous wine, with a caressing and powdery texture, where the minerality is finely linked to the substance. It is the triumph of Chardonnays! 2017 Louis Roederer Blanc De Blancs Brut Champagne Price: $101.25 Your Price: $89.10 Intense yellow hue with bright, luminous tints. An even flow of creamy, ultra-fine bubbles. Bouquet of harvest (almonds), spring flowers (honeysuckle) and citrus (lemon). The aromas are harmonious and deep, with delicate notes of roasted almonds and roasting. Upon aeration, powdery and chalky nuances emerge, creating a refined reductive nose typical of exceptional Chardonnays. Precise, juicy and deep on entry to the palate, this wine exudes a magnificent concentration of ripe fruit and floral aromas interwoven with a mineral freshness. The mouthfeel is creamy and chalky, almost powdery and drying, imparting a trim, finely honed quality to the palate. Juicy and rounded, the wine is drawn out into a fresh, powdery finish. The palate crescendos like a torrent of white mountain water, with a lingering sweetness from the wood ageing complementing the saline length and structure imparted by the white chalk of Avize. NV Champagne Louis Roederer Collection 245 Brut Price: $57.00 Your Price: $50.16 Quantity in Stock: 5 This is the 245th blend of Roederer's non-vintage Champagne. It is a fine wine, highlighting the blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, bringing in reserve wines to give richness and balance. It is fresh, beginning to show signs of maturity, with an apple aroma and a ripe palate. Drink now. NV Champagne Louis Roederer Collection 243 Magnum Price: $108.00 Your Price: $95.04 The Perpetual Reserve was created to accentuate the freshness in the wines and balance the ripeness of the harvest. Started with the 2012 vintage, enriched each year with wines from the latest harvest and stored in large capacity stainless steel vats, this Perpetual Reserve brings new tasting sensations, both tactile and gustatory. These reserve wines are Louis Roederer’s hallmark signature, the very essence of its style. They are aged in oak barrels and make up 10% of the Collection 243 blend. The patina of age adds a lovely softness to the blend and some slightly toasted smoky notes. NV Louis Roederer Brut Collection 242 Champagne Magnum Price: $108.00 Your Price: $95.04 (92 points) "Based on the 2017 vintage, Roederer's NV Brut Collection 242 continues to drink very well, offering up aromas of pear, orange zest, white flowers, almonds and hazelnuts. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with racy acids and a bright, saline finish, it's a great success in a challenging base year." Wine Advocate. NV Louis Roederer Carte Blanche Champagne Demi Sec Price: $55.50 Your Price: $48.84 After the upheavals of the early 1900s, particularly the First World War that destroyed more than half of the Louis Roederer estate, Léon Olry Roederer reconstructed the vineyards. He decided to buy grapes to ensure the continuity of the House during this difficult period and, at the same time, created a multi-vintage wine that would have a consistent flavour, whatever the harvest year. The Carte Blanche cuvée—like Brut Premier—is produced from around 40% Pinot noir, 40% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Meunier, 5% of which is wine matured in oak tuns. It is aged for 3 years in Louis Roederer’s cellars and left for a minimum of 6 months after dégorgement (disgorging). Carte Blanche, which has more dosage added than Brut Premier, perfectly reflects the great tradition of demi-sec champagnes. Ample, creamy, with a refined and persistent acidity that gives it a very delicate freshness, this blend has ripe fruit notes with almost caramelized accents and a flavour of honey and ground almonds.

"Between 5/22/85 and 5/4/88, the French writer Jean-Paul Kauffmann was held chained and often blindfolded in a Beirut basement [by a] Shiite Muslim fundamentalist group. A lover of Bordeaux, Mr. Kauffmann recited daily the list of the 61 greatest chateaux drawn up in 1855. He strove to conjure up the aroma of a Chateau Margaux or a Leoville-Poyferre. Occasionally a small miracle would occur, and the scent of black currants and plum would permeate the dusty heat of Lebanon." - Roger Cohen, "Ways of Doing Time," New York Times, 5/4/97 If I were ever in the same predicament, I could see myself doing something very similar to pass the time. Even one day without wine is hard for me to imagine but to be in a situation where I had to go weeks may just do me in. If you invested in first growths from 1982 you would have paid around $50 per bottle for these wines upon release. Today, we have the 1982 Lafite Rothschild for sale on this offering at a price of $2999.00. The 1982 vintage was one of the best investments that you could have ever made in the world of fine wine and we are drinking some great wines tonight from 1982. As I always say- “we are doing scientific work with wine here at the Wine Watch”. This is considered by many to be one of the greatest vintages in Bordeaux’s history and it made wine critic Robert Parker Jr. famous as he was one of the only people at that time that waxed poetic about the young wines. If you have these wines in your cellar today they are drinking at or near their peak and we will be opening ten wines from the 1982 vintage tonight. Many of the lesser wines are past their peak to day but the top wines are still drinking beautifully and we have an amazing selection of classified growth Bordeaux on the table tonight. The fee for this tasting is less than the price of several of the wines on the table tonight and there are only 12 spaces available. Chefs Toni and Dani will be making a special meal to accompany the tasting wines and the fee for this event which includes dinner is $1595 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com. 1982 Vintage Bordeaux Wine Tasting Friday, November 28th 7:30pm 1982 Chateau Cheval Blanc Saint-Emilion 1982 Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste Pauillac 1982 Chateau La Mission Haut Brion Pessac Leognan 1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac 1982 Chateau Lafon Rochet St Estephe 1982 Chateau Latour Pauillac 1982 Chateau Margaux Margaux 1982 Chateau Mouton Rothchild Pauillac 1982 Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 375ml 1982 Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande Pauillac Menu Selection of Cheese and Charcuterie Burrata Salad with Grilled Zucchini and Squash served with Sundried Tomato Vinaigrette Beef Tartar with Italian Sturgeon Caviar Served Over Bone Marrow Seared Duck Breast with Currant Bordeaux Demi Glaze and Truffle Fries Lemon Meringue Pie The fee for this tasting which includes dinner is $1595.00 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com.

Deserves its reputation. Dark ruby. Smoke, black truffle, berry and cherry. Full-bodied, velvety and fine.--Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2005. –JS Wine Spectator Issue: Jun 30, 2001 1982 Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou St. Julien Price: $1140.00 Your Price: $1003.20 (96 Points) At a charity dinner in Charleston, SC, the 1982 Ducru Beaucaillou from my cellar was the only corked bottle out of twenty-two. A subsequent tasting revealed one of the all-time great Ducrus, probably matched or eclipsed by several recent vintages (i.e., 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2008). The 1982 is still 5-8 years away from full maturity, but it exhibits a dense ruby/plum/garnet color to the rim as well as a sweet perfume of forest floor, spice box, cedar, and copious quantities of black fruits. Medium to full-bodied and beautifully pure with sweet tannins, this wine has aged more slowly than I initially expected. It is the finest Ducru Beaucaillou produced after the 1961 and before the 2003. With respect to the 1990, I do not own any of this wine, but it was the last of a series of vintages between 1986 and 1990 that were affected by the TCA-like contamination in the estate’s chai, which was completely destroyed and then rebuilt, eliminating the source of these smells. Not every bottle is affected by this, but I do not have any source for this vintage. Release price: ($140.00/case) Wine Advocate # 183, Jun 2009 1982 Chateau Duhart-Milon Pauillac, France Price: $365.00 Sale Price: $295.00 Quantity in Stock: 6 (94 points) This blockbuster was a sleeper of the vintage long before the Rothschilds invested so heavily in modernizing this estate as well as began making a stricter selection. Close to full maturity, the 1982 Duhart Milon exhibits classic notes of creme de cassis, cedar, and flowers, medium to full body, a high level of glycerin, and a lusciousness and fleshiness that are very much in keeping with the vintage. (RP) (6/2009) Wine Advocate 1982 Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste Pauillac Price: $595.00 Sale Price: $475.00 Quantity in Stock: 31 (96 Points) This is a tour de force, and one of the all-time great Grand-Puy-Lacostes ever produced, as I hope the 2000 and 2005 will become. This is an inky/purple, beefy, broad, super-rich Pauillac revealing classic creme de cassis notes intermixed with hints of spring flowers and crushed rocks. Full-bodied with sweet tannin, shocking concentration, and layers of fruit, this irresistible 1982 is still an adolescent in terms of its evolution. Anticipated maturity: now-2035. Release price: ($85.00/case) Wine Advocate #183, Jun 2009 1982 Chateau Kirwan Margaux Price: $300.00 Sale Price: $240.00 Quantity in Stock: 1 "The 1982 is a rather loosely knit wine with very good color, jammy, grapey fruit, low acidity, and a lush, supple texture. This medium- to full-bodied wine has a precocious personality, a charming fruitiness, and will evolve rapidly. Anticipated maturity: Now." Wine Advocate 1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac Price: $3700.00 Sale Price: $2995.00 Quantity in Stock: 7 (100 Points) The 1982 Lafite possesses a dark, dense ruby/purple color with only a subtle lightening at the rim. Spectacular aromatics offer jammy cherry and black fruits intertwined with lead pencil, mineral, and smoky wood scents. Powerful for a Lafite, this wine unfolds to reveal extraordinary richness, purity, and overall symmetry in addition to stunning flavor depth and persistence. The finish lasts for nearly a minute. Plenty of tannin remains, and the wine displays a vibrancy and youthfulness that belie its 18 years of age. The modern day equivalent of Lafite-Rothschild's immortal 1959, the 1982 will enjoy another 30-70 years of life! An amazing achievement! Anticipated maturity: 2007-2070. Wine Advocate # 129 June 2000 1982 Chateau Latour Pauillac Bordeaux France Price: $3500.00 Sale Price: $2750.00 Quantity in Stock: 14 (100 Points) As I indicated in the review of the 1982 Bordeaux, this is an unusual Latour in the fact that it has always been precocious. It has been jammy, forward, and delicious no matter when the cork was pulled, in total contrast to its two first-growth siblings, Mouton Rothschild and Lafite-Rothschild. The dense, opaque garnet-colored 1982 Latour reveals slight amber at the edge. Sweet, smoky, roasted aromas in the nose combine with jammy levels of black currant, cherry, and prune-like fruit. It possesses extraordinary concentration and unctuosity, with a thick, fat texture oozing notes of cedar wood, tobacco, coffee, and over-ripe fruit. Low acidity as well as high alcohol (for Bordeaux) give the wine even more glycerin and textural chewiness. The finish lasts forever. The only Latour that remotely resembles the 1982 is the 1961, which has a similar texture and succulence. Anticipated maturity: now-2040 The Wine Advocate Issue 129, June 2000. 1982 Chateau Lafon Rochet St Estephe Price: $325.00 Sale Price: $250.00 Quantity in Stock: 31 "This 1982 is plump, rich, and concentrated, but essentially one-dimensional and simple. It offers thick, jammy fruit, but no complexity. There is some tannin in the finish. My instincts suggest this wine needs to be drunk up over the next 10-15 years. Tasted 3 times since bottling with consistent notes." Wine Advocate. 1982 Chateau La Mission Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Bordeaux, France Price: $2250.00 Sale Price: $1750.00 Quantity in Stock: 15 (100 Points) The greatest La Mission Haut Brion made between the 1975 and 1989, the 1982 is, stylistically, a dead-ringer for the ethereal 1959. One of the most massive wines of the vintage, it remains an adolescent in terms of evolution, but it can be drunk with great pleasure if it is decanted 2-3 hours in advance. A thick, unctuously-textured wine with massive richness as well as abundant notes of black fruits, truffles, creosote, scorched earth, smoke, and camphor, a colossal mouthfeel, a layered texture, incredible depth of fruit and glycerin, and copious, but well-integrated tannins that are largely concealed by the incredible amount of fruit. An old school La Mission, it is a tour de force that should continue to age effortlessly for another 40 years. A monumental wine! Wine Advocate # 183 Jun 2009 1982 Chateau Lynch Bages Pauillac (Mid Shoulder Ulige) Price: $420.00 Sale Price: $350.00 Quantity in Stock: 1 (94 Points) This is another Lynch Bages that has never gone through an awkward, disjointed stage where it completely shut down. The color remains a dense ruby with some lightening at the edge. Thick, juicy, succulent notes of creme de cassis intermixed with dried herbs, vanillin, minerals, and anise leap from the glass. Fleshy and full-bodied, with the vintage's voluptuous texture and low acid, fruit/glycerin-dominated flavors well-displayed in its full-bodied personality, this wine tastes young, but is also ready to drink. Anticipated maturity: now-2015. Wine Advocate # 129, June 2000 1982 Chateau Margaux Margaux Bordeaux, France Price: $1999.00 Sale Price: $1695.00 Quantity in Stock: 65 (98 Points) Consistently scoring between 98-100, the superb 1982 Margaux may be slightly bigger, bolder, and more masculine than vintages produced over the last 15-20 years. Its dark plum/purple color is followed by notes of melted tar intermixed with sweet cassis and floral underpinnings. Very full-bodied and dense for a Chateau Margaux, with a slight rusticity to the tannins, it boasts blockbuster power, richness, and impressive aromatics. It appears set for another 30-40 years of life. Wine Advocate # 183 Jun 2009 1982 Chateau Pichon-Longueville au Baron de Pichon-Longueville Pauillac, France Magnum Price: $1595.00 Sale Price: $1250.00 Quantity in Stock: 2 (94 points) Excellent typicity here and a wine that left a lasting impression from the tasting. A floral nose with delicate fruit expression - light, summer red berries. Bright and clean on the palate, quite crystalline and pure with a fine tannic structure. I like the acidity and the sheer brightness. Quite a mineral edge that comes across as a touch lean and austere with liquorice, crushed graphite on the end. This is very enjoyable to drink now but doesn't feel like it has a massive amount of life left. Mentholated on the close of play which gives a nice lift and moreish appeal.

Since bottling, it has flirted with perfection, and was a sprinter out of the gate, which gave rise to questions about how quickly it would begin its decline. However, at age 27, it retains all its glossy, rich, flamboyant cassis fruit, chocolaty, berry jam-like notes, and plenty of earthy, foresty flavors. This is a full-bodied, extravagantly rich Pichon Lalande seemingly devoid of acidity and tannin, but the wine is incredibly well-balanced and pure. It is an amazing effort! Wine Advocate #183, Jun 2009 1982 Chateau Rauzan-Segla Margaux Price: $350.00 Sale Price: $275.00 Quantity in Stock: 10 (92 points) Popular claret culture, in the wake of Robert Parker’s pronouncement many years back that the 1986 vintage of Château Rausan-Ségla was the first top flight vintage here in a generation, tends to ignore the wines made here in the first half of the decade of the 1980s. However, I have been very impressed previously with both the 1983 and 1985 versions, and had higher expectations than any of my guests for the 1982 Château Rausan-Ségla in our lineup. Happily, my expectations were born out with a superb bottle and this has to be one of the finest wines made in the commune in 1982. The bouquet is beautifully complex and quite exuberant, jumping from the glass in the property’s signature blend of black raspberry, black cherry, cigar smoke, dark soil tones, a beautiful spread of spice elements, just a hint of nutskin and a discreet framing of cedary oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and really has an excellent core of fruit (particularly for a 1982 Margaux, as this commune is not as universally successful as most others in this vintage), with excellent focus and balance and still a bit of suave tannin adding backend grip to the long, complex and utterly satisfying finish. This is a bit more sappy at the core than the classical 1983, and has a bit less silky elegance of the 1985, but these three vintages at least prove that the reports of Château Rausan-Ségla not starting its renaissance until the 1986 vintage were a bit tardy! Fine, fine juice. (1/2020) John Gilman 1982 Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte, Pessac-Leognan, France Price: $295.00 Your Price: $259.60 Quantity in Stock: 1 Tasting Notes: Dark crimson. Some ripe red fruit on the nose. Polished tannins and there is energy here. This sample seems to have a more convincing core than yesterday’s sample tasted at the château. Good level of interest and detail here. Even if the level of acidity is higher than usual and the tannins obviously took some taming. Sweeter than some.

Jack: If they want to drink Merlot, we're drinking Merlot. Miles Raymond: No, if anyone orders Merlot, I'm leaving. I am NOT drinking any fu*&^% Merlot! Merlot is the second most planted varietal on the planet earth, although its popularity has helped give this outstanding varietal an identity crisis. The name Merlot is thought to be a diminutive of merle, the French name for the blackbird, probably a reference to the color of the grape. Its softness and "fleshiness", combined with its earlier ripening, makes Merlot a popular grape for blending with the sterner, later-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon, which tends to be higher in tannin. When done right Merlot is one of the greatest wines on the planet. When it is done wrong it is one of the least enjoyable of all wines. After the boom of the late 1990’s which was sparked by the nations’ most popular news programs 60 minutes expose called “the French Paradox” where they discovered that the consumption of wine was linked to superior heath in people from France. The U.S. started drinking more wine and Merlot was the bell of the ball so wineries planted this finicky varietal all over the state of California and beyond to quench the demand for this healthy elixir. Little did they know that there are only a few places on earth that can make exceptional Merlot. So it may have been Merlot’s good fortune that Miles in the movie “Sideways” slowed the popularity of this varietal and stopped wineries from planting this varietal in all the wrong places. There are only a few places on earth where Merlot can reach greatness: Bordeaux (the homeland for this varietal), Italy, Washington State and Northern California. We have some of the top examples from each of these wine producing regions from the top names like, Chateau Petrus, Chateau Lafleur, Chateau Cheval Blanc, Leonetti Cellars and Duckhorn Winery. Join us as we experience ten Merlot based wines going back to the 1983 vintage.

2023 Burgundy Wine Tasting Featuring the wines of Domaine Rapet
“Sometimes it would be nice to just have some red wine with dinner, but it’s not worth the risk. I have a great life, a great situation. Why would I want to risk self-destructive behavior?” Kristin Davis If wine with dinner is destructive then I am a wrecking ball!! I love Italian wines. It is hard to believe that when I bought the store 27 years ago we only had 4 different Italian labels on the shelf. Today, we have one of the greatest collections of Barolos, Barbarescos, Super Tuscans, Chianti, and of course Amarone available not only in South Florida but anywhere in the world! We just received an incredible collection of vintage Amarone that included several vintages of one of our favorite Amarone producers wines, yes I am referring to the winery that invented Amarone- Bertani. That means it’s time to do some serious scientific work here and tonight we have Bertani back to the legendary 1964 vintage! Bertani is an old school producer of Amarone, they don't have temperature controlled drying rooms like most of the modern Amarone producers today. They feel that the weather is one of the characteristics that determines the style of the vintage. Tonight, we have 8 vintages of this great producers wine on the table spanning the last 6 decades. The price of this event which includes dinner is $395 per person + tax. For reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com. Please let us know when you make your reservation if you have any dietary restrictions and chefs Toni and Dani will be happy to accommodate you.

Please let us know when you make your reservation if you have any dietary restrictions and chefs Toni and Dani will be happy to accommodate you. A bit about Bertani Winery: Some wine writers would lead you to believe that Amarone was created by accident some time in the early 1950’s and it is the dry version of ancient Recioto (Acinaticum, as it was called in the early ‘Dark Ages’ by Cassiodorus of the Longobards) This is not the case. Amarone is an old style of wine which has only recently come into fashion. One of the most important aspects of harvesting grapes is the level of ripeness or sugar content. This will determine what style of wine is made. Some wine regions of the world will allow grapes to go beyond maturity into a partly shriveled state. In Italy this practice is most widely practiced in Veneto, where wines like Soave, Gambellara, and Valpolicella live. You will often see the term “Recioto” preceding the aforementioned names. Recioto is a dialect word for ears, in this case the “ears” or protruding upper portion of the grape bunch, that are selected for this process because they have the best exposure to the sun, they are the ripest. In Italy, when a producer makes a “Recioto”, or other wines from partially dried berries, the drying takes place after the grapes have been picked. The bunches are spread out, indoors, on straw or wire-bottomed palates, to be crushed within one month or, sometimes, several months later. One consequence of this process is that the berries water content evaporates, concentrating the juice and increasing the proportion of sugar to pulp. During this drying process, other more complex transformations take place, some of the acids are lost, others created, and different sugar compounds formed. The end product is a more intense, aromatic, full-bodied wine, richer in alcohol, glycerin, and sugar. Amarone at its best is not just one of the best red wines coming from Italy, but one of the top red wines made in the world. The quality of Amarones has improved vastly over the last decade and one of the leaders of this quality revolution is Bertani. Bertani has been steadily improving the quality of all of its wines. They have been considered one of the top producers of Amarone for decades; today the vast improvement of this property is most evident in their innovative wines. The most interesting of these is a concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon from a vineyard at their Novare estate. The Bertani estate was founded in 1857 and is still family owned and operated. They harvest grapes from four separate vineyard sites. Their Tenuta di Novare, which has 185 acres planted in the Valle di Novare, including three crus: Monteriondo, Ognis-santi, and Sereole. They also own the Saccole vineyard in Grezzana in the Valpantena district, the Casetto cru in Bardolino, and a vineyard Monteforte in Soave. This last vineyard is planted with pinot grigio, chardonnay, and cabernet sauvignon. The line-up at Bertani includes: an excellent Amarone Classico Superiore, two Valpolicellas- one from the Valpantena zone which they label Secco-Bertani, and a second Classico Superiore, a vino da tavola ripasso Catullo, a Recioto Spumante, also from the Valpantena area, and a Soave. The grapes for the Bertani Amarones are processed- crushed and fermented- at their Novare winery. When the wine is separated from the skins it still contains .04 percent (4 grams per liter) of residual sugar. It is then moved to oak casks. Gaetano Bertani says that the Amarone continues to ferment a little, on and off for four to five years. They produce only 25 – 30 casks per vintage; this amounts to about 5,000 cases. After the wine finishes fermenting and is dry, it is moved to their other winery, where it is blended to make up the final cuvee.

My books are like water; those of the great geniuses are wine. (Fortunately) everybody drinks water. Mark Twain Hey wine is 85% water and I like the comparison between wine and geniuses!! Speaking of wine genius we have one of the most interesting men in the wine business coming to pay us a visit here at Wine Watch. Jean Charles Boisset is one of the most interesting winery personalities that you will meet and I remember riding with Jean Charles doing sales calls back when I worked with Republic National Distributing. We put together several wine dinners in the past and were out on more than one occasion after dinner to check out the afterhours festivities of the South Florida nightlife. The Boisset family is one of the largest landholders in Burgundy and Jean Charles married Gina Gallo, making this rather important wine family of France now joined by marrage to the largest family owned winery in the world. Join us as we welcome Jean Charles back to South Florida for an incredible tasting that will feature a vertical of two of the families Napa Valley wineries Raymond and Flora Springs.

"By making this wine vine known to the public, I have rendered my country as great a service as if I had enabled it to pay back the national debt." ~ Thomas Jefferson If only a modern-day politician could contribute as much to the quality of our life as the late great Thomas Jefferson. He was one of the first advocates of wine in the United States and he is one of the reasons why we have the greatest selection of wines from all around the world in the U.S. today. So, remember...no matter how bad it gets, we still have the best selection of the world’s greatest wines at the most competitive prices in the world here in the U.S. of A. Speaking of GREAT wines from the U.S.A…. I need a few good men or women to help me drink some really fine wine on this occasion our annual California Cult Cabernet Sauvignon wine tasting. We will be sampling some very small production Napa Valley wines and the price of the event is less than one half the price of a single bottle of Screaming Eagle- which will be on the table tonight!! What makes a "cult wine"? Do the producers pick the grapes at night under the full moon? Do they make it under a secret oath or while sacrificing a small farm animal? These ultra-expensive, hard to find wines from California just have more customers than they do bottles to go around. The simplest factor in the economy kicks in with these wines, good old supply and demand. These wines are priced where they are because that’s what they sell for! All the wines on the table tonight are from the cellar of our good friend Dr. Robert Maliner. Dr. Malier is one of the biggest wine collectors in South Florida and we are trying to help him finish up his last 6000 bottles! The best offer we have if you have more wine than you can drink like Bob…we will help you drink it!! This tasting is limited to 12 tasters and the fee for this event which includes dinner is $1250.00 + tax. For reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com.

"Oh I'd be a rich man if I had all the money I owe. But to have that much, I oughta' help them sell my soul. One and one make two, two and two make four, That figure don't drive the rent man from the door. Just got time for a little more wine. Just got time for a little more wine." A Little More Wine by Savory Brown I like this guy, there's always time for a little more wine! Until your time runs out and then there is no more wine for you!! That’s why I always say- drink the good stuff first!! One Napa Valley winery that I would consider to be a "first growth" if such a thing existed would be Joseph Phelps Winery and the wine of course - Insignia. Insignia was the very first Bordeaux inspired blend that was made in California dating back to the 1974 vintage, before Opus One and long before any of the elite "Cult" wines of Napa that today garner $500+ in price upon release and more in the aftermarket. We tasted many of these wines on this offering over the years and I will never forget the "collectors series" wine dinner we hosted at Cafe Maxx with winemaker Craig Williams where we showcased 10 vintages of Insignia back to 1986 from local collectors cellars. Every vintage on the table including the 1998 and 2000 were outstanding! A testament to a great producer, their wines are excellent even in a difficult vintage. So, when we received a nice collection of Insignia featuring 12 different vintages, I said it’s time to do some scientific work with one of Napa Valley’s finest Bordeaux blends! We are going all the way back to the 2003 vintage and the price of admission is just about the price of the new release the 2021 vintage is listed at $365 on the wineries website. There are only 14 spaces available for this tasting and the fee is $395 + tax and this includes dinner! For reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com.

Like everyone else who loves wine and visits this beautiful valley, he quickly succumbed to the romance of it all. In 1972 he purchased a 600-acre ranch in the hills east of St. Helena and began planting it to different varietals. The wooden cellars, on a west-facing slope of the home property, are a tribute to two arts, architecture and winemaking. Two pavilions are joined by a closed bridge housing offices. One pavilion contains fermentors - steel in an otherwise woodsy environment - and the other holds lofty racks of French oak barrels. In addition to the home ranch, Phelps now owns vineyards in Stags Leap, Rutherford, Yountville, and the Carneros District. The first Phelps wine to appear in the marketplace was a 1973 Johannisberg Riesling. That it was an immediate success was no surprise; the winemaker was Walter Schug, born and trained in Germany. Schug left the winery in 1983 to devote full time to his new venture, Schug Cellars. (His assistant from almost the beginning, Craig Williams, assumed the reigns as winemaker.) The winery gradually began to produce a wide range of interesting, high-quality varietals - not only from its own ranch, but also from selected growers in the Napa Valley and in Sonoma County as well. In fact, Phelps once made one of California's best Zinfandels from eighty-year-old vines in Sonoma's Alexander Valley. However, the winery gradually began to trim its number of offerings and concentrate primarily on the Napa Valley for fruit sources. The winery's truly monumental wines are usually red and are based on the cabernet grape. In each vintage Phelps produces a regular Napa Valley Cabernet from grapes grown on several of the Phelps ranches as well as grapes purchased from independent growers. Some of the Phelps regular Cabs have been outstanding; the 1975 (probably the winery's best ever), the 1977, and the 1980 were at the top of their price class in the Napa Valley. In the middle 1980's Phelps acquired and developed two new vineyards in the Napa Valley - one in Rutherford along Manley Lane in the heart of the bench area and the other in the Stag's Leap District immediately north and adjacent to the historic Fay Vineyard. These two ranches have provided the backbone for the Phelps regular Cabernet as well as a Merlot that was first produced in 1989. Although we felt that the Phelps regular Cabernets had slipped in the years since 1980, beginning with the 1992 they have been again among the best in their price class. In fact, the recent Cabernets are probably the best regular bottlings produced at this winery in nearly twenty years. Although a portion of the fruit is purchased from independent growers, over half comes from the winery's Las Rocas Vineyard in the Stags Leap District and the winery's Manley Lane Vineyard in the Rutherford Bench area. Really special, however, have been the vineyard-designated Cabernets (one from the Backus Vineyard and one from the Eisele Vineyard) and the super special Insignia bottling. The Eisele bottling was discontinued after the 1991 vintage, because - unfortunately for Phelps - Milton Eisele sold his legendary vineyard to Bart Araujo (The Araujo Estate Cabernet has already garnered enormous critical acclaim under its new owners). The Insignia bottling - the flagship of the winery and the first Meritage blend ever made in California (1974) - has been consistently fine for two decades. However, beginning with the 1989 vintage, it has clearly been in the top handful of red wines produced in every vintage. Over the last few years things have been turned upside down at Phelps Winery. When long time president Tom Sheldon and long time winemaker Craig Williams were both forced to retire in May of 2008, a lawsuit followed. Unfortunately Tom Sheldon died in July of 2008 of brain cancer, but both men were awarded their 40% stake in the winery that was given to them by Joseph Phelps in 1999. In a binding judgment issued Sept. 9, 2008 retired Judge William Bettinelli ruled that Mr. Shelton is entitled to a total of $12,264,000 in damages and Mr. Williams is owed $11,856,000, according to the ruling. Their attorney stated for the record; "Everyone in Napa knows what Tom Shelton and Craig Williams did for the Phelps brand and the Phelps family," said Hainline. "It is time for the Phelps family to do the right thing, honor their agreements and acknowledge how these two men made monumental contributions to enhance the status and reputation of Joseph Phelps Vineyards and their work was what made the winery successful." This lawsuit left a bad taste in the mouth of many people in Napa Valley, but on my visit to Joseph Phelps winery in July of 2009 the staff had their best foot forward and were moving on, trying to look toward the future. Ashley Hepworth was promoted to winemaker in 2008, she has been with the winery since 1999 and we don't think that the style of the wines will change.
Valentines Day Chateau D'Yquem Wine Tasting
Wine Bar Closed for A Private Event -GQG
"You know, the day you open a '61 Cheval Blanc … that's the special occasion." Maya (advising Miles against being overly fussy about when he will drink a vintage Bordeaux wine he owns): Sideways At Wine Watch we think that every day above ground is a special occasion that’s why we have so many “Once in Lifetime” tastings! If you invested in first growths from 1982 you would have paid around $50 per bottle for these wines upon release. Today, we have the 1982 Lafite Rothschild for sale on this offering at a price of $2999.00. The 1982 vintage was one of the best investments that you could have ever made in the world of fine wine and we are drinking some great wines tonight from 1982. As I always say- “we are doing scientific work with wine here at the Wine Watch”. This is considered by many to be one of the greatest vintages in Bordeaux’s history and it made wine critic Robert Parker Jr. famous as he was one of the only people at that time that waxed poetic about the young wines. If you have these wines in your cellar today they are drinking at or near their peak and we will be opening ten wines from the 1982 vintage tonight. We have an amazing selection of classified growth Bordeaux on the table tonight including 5 first growths! The fee for this tasting is less than the price of several of the wines on the table tonight and there are only 12 spaces available. Chefs Toni and Dani will be making a special meal to accompany the tasting wines and the fee for this event which includes dinner is $1595 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com. 1982 Vintage Bordeaux Wine Tasting Friday, February 20th 7:30pm 1982 Chateau Cheval Blanc Saint-Emilion 1982 Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste Pauillac 1982 Chateau La Mission Haut Brion Pessac Leognan 1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac 1982 Chateau Lafon Rochet St Estephe 1982 Chateau Latour Pauillac 1982 Chateau Margaux Margaux 1982 Chateau Mouton Rothchild Pauillac 1982 Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande Pauillac Menu Selection of Cheese and Charcuterie Burrata Salad with Grilled Zucchini and Squash served with Sundried Tomato Vinaigrette Beef Tartar Served Over Bone Marrow Seared Duck Breast with Currant Bordeaux Demi Glaze and Truffle Fries Lemon Meringue Pie The fee for this tasting which includes dinner is $1595.00 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com.

The Wines of Bordeaux give tone to the stomach, while leaving the mouth fresh and the head clear. More than one invalid abandoned by the doctors has been seen to drink the good old wine of Bordeaux and return to health. --Comments by members of the Jury judging Bordeaux wines submitted under the new 1855 classification at the 1855 World's Fair in Paris, as noted in 1855: A History of the Bordeaux Classification I have been preaching the health benefits of wine for a long time and what better way to get healthy that a vertical selection of Chateau Latife Rothschild. This is part of our "Once in a lifetime" series of wine tastings and I’m glad to be back to work at the Wine Bar drinking the world’s greatest wines! Chateau Lafite Rothschild has become the hottest Bordeaux on the market today because of the demand for this product in the Asian market. But this "first" of first growths has been in the limelight for several hundred years now which is one of the reasons that they have a world-wide demand for this classic claret.

The history of the property is certainly as interesting as the wine itself and is too long and complicated to recount in the short space at hand. Nevertheless, the high points bear repeating. As with most wines of the Médoc, the fame of Lafite first dates from the eighteenth century. During the reign of Louis XV, Lafite was owned by the very powerful and wealthy Marquis de Ségur, who also owned Latour, Mouton, and Calon Ségur. Upon Ségur's death in 1755, the estate became embroiled in a long and complex battle among the heirs. Over the course of the next one hundred years, it was auctioned twice - the second time in 1868 to the scion of a famous Paris banking family, Baron James de Rothschild. The selling price was an astounding 4,400,000 francs. To properly appreciate the significance of this sum, the equally prestigious Mouton-Rothschild had sold a little more than a decade earlier for one quarter of that sum. The lofty price paid for Lafite was due in no small part to the enormous prestige the property enjoyed as a result of the famous 1855 Grand Cru Classification. At the Paris Exposition in that year, Bordeaux brokers and merchants compiled a list of the top sixty Médoc chateaux and ranked them in five groups. Lafite was placed at the very top of the first group - first of the firsts. Also shortly after the sale to the Rothschilds in 1868, a famous auction of some of the chateau's wonderful old vintages was held. This was a remarkable event, for the wines fetched hitherto unheard of prices - with the 1811, the great Comet vintage, commanding the highest price of all. It was without doubt the greatest wine auction that had ever been seen up to that time. Over the years to the Second World War various Rothschilds ran the chateau, but after the war it seemed that Lafite was just one of many jewels owned by the family - an interest and concern to be visited and supervised when necessary. The period after 1945 was not one of neglect, but the property certainly did not get the care and attention that cousin Baron Philippe fostered on his beloved Mouton-Rothschild. As a result many felt that Lafite gradually began to lose its place of preeminence during the postwar years and that the last great Lafite was produced in the 1959 vintage. In fact, another vintage the equal of the 1959 was not seen for nearly two decades. That was in 1975, the same year that year that the chateau hired a new winemaker, Jean Crete, formerly of Leoville Las Cases and also engaged the consulting services of Emile Peynaud, the famed University of Bordeaux enologist. In 1977 a new generation Rothschild, Eric de Rothschild, arrived to oversee the property and become a hands-on proprietor. The stage was set for Lafite's return to greatness, and the 1975 vintage proved that Lafite still had the stuff. With nearly 200 acres under vines and an average annual production of 20,000 cases, Lafite is the largest of the first growths both in terms of area and production. The vineyards lie on slopes in the northern end of the commune of Pauillac. Across a meadow on its northern border lies the commune of St. Estèphe and the imposing Chinese Gothic architecture of Chateau Cos D'Estournel. On the Pauillac side, Lafite adjoins Mouton at many points. The chateau itself is a pleasing compendium of medieval turrets and seventeenth and eighteenth century buildings standing among a row of trees on a hill above the famous Routes des Chateaux. The chaise (the cellars where the new wine is aged in barrels) are quite impressive, but even more awesome is the magnificent underground cellar where Lafite's unique collection of old wines goes back to the 1797 vintage. If any one spot on earth is Mecca to the winelover, it is here at Lafite - the one place that connoisseurs the world over must visit once in their lifetime. And what is one to say of the wines of Lafite that has not already been expressed with all the gloriously extravagant rhetorical fantasies of bygone days? Without attempting to outdo the embellishments of some of the greatest writers of wine lore, we will say only that, at its best, Lafite is the quintessential claret - a wine that combines finesse, breed, depth, and longevity. It certainly is a softer wine than Mouton and Latour, the other two great Pauillacs. This is due no doubt to the high percentage of Merlot used in the blend. And what about recent vintages of Lafite? It is true that Lafite went through spotty times. Although 1961, 1966, and 1970 were remarkable vintages for Bordeaux, we were never impressed with the Lafites of those years. However, Lafite has recently made great wines in 1975, 1976 (the best wine in Bordeaux in that vintage), 1978, 1979, 1981, 1982 (a monumental year for Lafite), 1985, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1995, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2015, 2016 and 2018.
