2007 Chateau d'Yquem

Sauternes, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$999. 00
Bottle
$11988.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork

Superlatives are often not enough when it comes to describing Chateau d'Yquem. Standing alone as the only Premier Cru Superieur ranked sauternes property, Chateau d'Yquem is situated in the epicentre of prime sweet wine production in France. Their unique position, and wealth of soil profiles, allows d'Yquem to produce wines of enormous complexity with consistent accumulation of botrytis often in years when others struggle.
Other Reviews....
Pale to medium gold colored, the 2007 d'Yquem delivers powerful scents of tropical fruits—dried mangoes and pineapple paste—accented by acacia honey, toasted almonds and woodsmoke with hints of chalk dust, kettle corn and lime blossom. The palate reveals one of those vintages that shape-shifts into an apparently drier style than it is, largely thanks to its uber-racy backbone of freshness and layered mineral-inspired flavors, finishing with a regal, satin-textured savoriness. Difficult to resist now, this will be one of those Rip Van Winkle vintages that can be predicted to cellar not just for decades but for generations. For number crunchers: 14.2% alcohol, 137 grams per liter residual sugar, and total acidity is 3.7 grams per liter H2SO4.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Wine Advocate (Aug 2019)
(14% alcohol with 140 g/l r.s.; 70% semillon and 30% sauvignon blanc) Pale gold. Knockout nose of mirabelle, pineapple, spices and honey. Dense and thick but with racy acidity leavening the wine's liqueur-like flavors of peach, apricot and pineapple and imbuing it with superb energy. With aeration, this showed captivating notes of vanilla, toast and fresh and exotic herbs, plus a saline aspect on the very long finish. Still an infant, but already boasts terrific cut and purity of fruit. Director Pierre Lurton was thrilled to have a large quantity of wine at this high level of quality.

Stephen Tanzer - Vinous
Some wines, due to the fame of the marquee, light up the faces of eager tasters when they are opened. The list of wines deserving of those accolades is short and sweet. Speaking of sweet, at the top of the pyramid of the world's sweet is Chateau d'Yquem. With its track record of successful vintages, that's where it belongs. 2007 d'Yquem is another great success for the chateau! With a deep gold color, the nose explodes with honey, flowers, white peaches, nectarines, orange rind, vanilla custard, nuts and overripe pineapple. There is an intensity of flavor, multiple layers of sweet, ripe, honey drenched fruit and the perfect amount of acidity to give the wine ample lift keeping it fresh.

2017 Chateau de Beauregard Pouilly-Fuisse Vers Cras

Burgundy, FRANCE
$94. 99
Bottle
$1139.88 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

Frederic Burrier and his family own the historic Chateau de Beauregard and the small but equally important Chateau du Clos, both based in Pouilly, along with half ownership of Domaine de la Rochette based in Milly-Lamartine. Frederic is a staunch supporter of the wines of Pouilly, and led the commission into the possibility of premier crus for appellation. Winemaking is very traditional, and while he has tried newer methods and equipment, Frederic prefers the results he gets by crushing the grapes prior to using his Vaslin hydraulic press. As of 2020 vintage, many of the plots worked in Pouilly are now classified as premier cru.
Other Reviews....
Smoky reduction slides over into reduction territory that definitely needs some aeration if you're going to try a bottle in the next year or so. More interesting are the appealingly energetic and textured medium-bodied flavors that possess a caressing mouth feel while once again coating the palate. The sappy finish really fans out as it sits on the palate though there is enough warmth to suggest that this would best be served a bit cooler than normal. Drink 2022+.

Allen Meadows - Burghound
This bottling is limited to 40 barrels though Beauregard own over 3ha – the rest goes into the Château blend. The Fuissé side has younger vines and catches the sun, whereas the Pouilly vineyards are older, have a slight inclination to the north-east and maintain the austerity of the limestone mini-plateau which is also usefully ventilated by exposure to the wind. The 2017 was picked on 27th August and has excellent depth of colour, a brisk if as yet undeveloped nose, lovely weight of fruit and dances beautifully across the palate.

The 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé Vers Cras 1er Cru comes from 3.5 hectares of vines surrounding the winery on limestone soils. Struck flint comes through nicely on the nose, very focused and full of energy. The palate is very well balanced with harmonious citrus fruit infused with flint and white pepper notes. Impressive weight and extract on the finish, this is turning into a delightful Pouilly-Fuissé. Drink 2025-2042.

Neal Martin - Vinous
This lightly wooded effort is also moderately reduced and tough to read aromatically. By contrast there is a lovely sense of freshness to the intense, detailed and rich flavors that don't have the same size and weight but there is a bit more refinement on the lingering finish. This though will need to develop better depth to merit the upper end of my projected range. Drink 2024+.

The Château de Chantegrive "Caroline" 2014 has a primal, pineapple and lime cordial-scented nose that possesses fine intensity. The palate is fresh and vibrant with good acidity on the entry, flattening out a little on the finish, but delivering acceptable length. Good. But I have a sneaking suspicion that it could have been even better. Drink 2016 - 2024.

The Château de Fieuzal Blanc 2014 has an attractive nose: lime mixed with citrus fruit and touches of grilled walnut coming through with aeration. The palate is quite shrill on the entry with attacking lime and citrus scents. The acidity is quite strong here, but there is plenty of fruit and a lovely sense of tension on the finish. This is an excellent Pessac-Léognan from this rejuvenated estate. Drink 2017 - 2030.

Contemporary in style, gentle vanilla bean toasting, gourmet without straying over into sweet. Lower feeling pf acidity than some. Nice lemon curd finish, from regular lees stirring. Low temperature vinification at below 20°C. Hubert de Boüard is consultant here. 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Semillon.

A more floral-inflected nose is comprised by notes of mineral reduction, lemongrass and Granny Smith apple nuances. The almost painfully intense middleweight flavors possess a wonderfully refreshing quality on the chiseled, youthfully austere and solidly persistent finish. This could use a bit more depth, but it is already inviting. Drink 2024+.

The 2014 Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru les Chalumeaux has a very expressive, wet limestone, sea spray and flint-scented bouquet that opens with confidence. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry, rounded in the mouth but kept in check by the keen line of acidity. This is very refined and yet voluminous with lingering passion fruit and white peach notes on the sustained aftertaste. Excellent.

Neal Martin - Robert Parker Wine Advocate #222 (Dec 2015)

Firm reduction renders the nose unreadable. On the plus side there is a beguiling sense of energy to the stony and beautifully delineated and ultra-saline flavors that conclude in a strikingly persistent and solidly complex finale. This isn't quite as refined as the Garenne but this is still very pretty.
91-93 points
Allen Meadows - burghound.com

Bright yellow. Sexy stone fruits and spices on the very subtle nose, complicated by a note of flint. Very much alive on the palate, with its alluring sweetness nicely brightened by lemon zest acidity. The rising finish conveys excellent intensity and thrust. Still very young.

Sulfur presently dominates the nose and renders it unreadable. Otherwise there is good density and vivacity to the delicious and mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that deliver fine length on the delineated, intense and balanced finale. This is lovely and I like the refreshing salinity.

Pale, bright yellow. Anise and crushed stone on the nose. Supple and easygoing, but kept fresh and firm by lime leaf and a suggestion of limestone. This will earn a higher score if the nose brightens up a bit. Finishes with good mineral firmness.

The Doisy-Daëne Blanc Sec 2014 has a pleasant, refined bouquet with scents of green apple intermingling with lime and granitic scents.

The 2019 Doisy-Védrines is a light, airy wine with pretty tropical notes and appealing perfume. The 2019 is at an awkward stage, with the oak showing through, but I expect it will be very, very good in time. Weight and texture develops over time here.

Antonio Galloni - Vinous
The 2019 Doisy-Védrines has an intense nose, though it does not quite have the precision of the Doisy-Daëne. The palate is very well balanced, a little fatter than its aforementioned Barsac sibling, a welcome touch of spice (lemongrass and ginger) surfacing towards its satisfying conclusion. Good potential.

2023 Chateau Doisy Daene Pre-Arrival Offer

Barsac, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$104. 00
Bottle
$1248.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork

Once part of the original Doisy estate founded in 1704, Chateau Doisy Daene takes its name from Jacques Emmanuel Daane, an owner in the late nineteenth century who combined his surname with that of Doisy following the estate's division. After changing hands several times, the property was acquired in 1924 by the Dubourdieu family and gradually rebuilt and expanded to its current 18.2 hectares. The Barsac vineyard, located close to Chateau Climens, is planted predominantly to Semillon with a smaller proportion of Sauvignon Blanc, on red sand, clay and limestone soils. Alongside its Sauternes, the estate is notable for producing one of the appellation's earliest dry white wines, bottled as Doisy Daene Grand Vin Sec, as well as the rare and highly selective l’Extravagance de Doisy Daene in exceptional vintages.
Other Reviews....
The 2023 Doisy-Daëne, a blend of 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc, takes time to unfurl on the nose. Notes of lemon curd, dried peach and a touch of marmalade are all nicely defined, developing subtle pithy elements with aeration. The palate is just wonderful. Very harmonious with perfectly judged acidity, it’s extremely pure with a tensile finish. This is Barsac in full flight. It will be outstanding once bottled. Bravo! Drink 2028-2055.
95-97 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
There’s a refined focus and beauty to this, with spice and honey character. Medium-bodied, sweet and poised. Flavorful at the end, in an elegant way, with density and tension.
93-94 points
James Suckling
Pale gold with vibrant edging, starts with concentrated and intense clove spices, luscious apricot fruit, opening to show juicy, sculpted slivers of steel and lime juice. A return to form for this excellent Barsac wine after the succulent but unbalanced 2022. Great stuff from this legendary Dubourdieu property, although once again the yields are extremely low and the character is more concentrated than you find in vintages like 2021. Ageing starts with 10 months in oak barrels, followed by 9 months in stainless steel tank before bottling.

2023 Chateau Doisy Daene (375ml) Pre-Arrival Offer

Barsac, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$51. 99
Bottle
$623.88 Dozen

Closure: Cork

Once part of the original Doisy estate founded in 1704, Chateau Doisy Daene takes its name from Jacques Emmanuel Daane, an owner in the late nineteenth century who combined his surname with that of Doisy following the estate's division. After changing hands several times, the property was acquired in 1924 by the Dubourdieu family and gradually rebuilt and expanded to its current 18.2 hectares. The Barsac vineyard, located close to Chateau Climens, is planted predominantly to Semillon with a smaller proportion of Sauvignon Blanc, on red sand, clay and limestone soils. Alongside its Sauternes, the estate is notable for producing one of the appellation's earliest dry white wines, bottled as Doisy Daene Grand Vin Sec, as well as the rare and highly selective l’Extravagance de Doisy Daene in exceptional vintages.
Other Reviews....
The 2023 Doisy-Daëne, a blend of 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc, takes time to unfurl on the nose. Notes of lemon curd, dried peach and a touch of marmalade are all nicely defined, developing subtle pithy elements with aeration. The palate is just wonderful. Very harmonious with perfectly judged acidity, it’s extremely pure with a tensile finish. This is Barsac in full flight. It will be outstanding once bottled. Bravo! Drink 2028-2055.

There’s a refined focus and beauty to this, with spice and honey character. Medium-bodied, sweet and poised. Flavorful at the end, in an elegant way, with density and tension.
93-94 points
James Suckling
Pale gold with vibrant edging, starts with concentrated and intense clove spices, luscious apricot fruit, opening to show juicy, sculpted slivers of steel and lime juice. A return to form for this excellent Barsac wine after the succulent but unbalanced 2022. Great stuff from this legendary Dubourdieu property, although once again the yields are extremely low and the character is more concentrated than you find in vintages like 2021. Ageing starts with 10 months in oak barrels, followed by 9 months in stainless steel tank before bottling.

The 2020 Doisy-Daëne, pure Sémillon this year picked at 16hl/ha over three to six tries through the vineyard, presents a well-defined nose that, compared side-by-side with Doisy-Védrines, is actually quite similar in terms of the dried honey, honeysuckle, candle wax and quince aromas that unfurl from the glass. The palate is beautifully balanced with a fine bead of acidity, and such purity on the finish that it endows this Barsac with wonderful weightlessness. Magnificent.

The 2020 Doisy-Daëne is rich, creamy and wonderfully expressive. Lemon confit, marzipan, coconut, dried flowers, apricot and tangerine are some of the notes that build in the glass. All the elements meld together gracefully. Beautifully layered and sensual from to start to finish.
94-96 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
Grilled orange rind, lemon curd, overripe pineapple and spearmint, all coated with honey, create the perfume. The wine is sweet, lush and honeyed, but with a jolt of racy acidity, giving the white peach, yellow tropical fruit and candied orange rind length and vibrancy in the finish.
93-95 points
Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider
Rich and powerful, this is a seductive Barsac that has a great balance of acidity and sweetness, nothing too over the top, full of lime zest and mandarin, with tongue-licking slate on the finish. Great stuff, extremely well balanced. A yield of 16hl/ha. 10 months in barrel for ageing followed by nine months in stainless steel.

Full bottle 1,380 g. 100% Sémillon (although there is Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle planted in the vineyard). 16 hl/ha. Picked in three to six passes through the vineyard by experienced pickers. Cask sample. Aged for 10 months in barrel followed by nine months in tank.
Coppery gold colour. Very exuberant on the nose and with dramatic, expressive botrytised fruit on the palate. Very rich but edgy and energetic too. Firm and fresh with a floral note. A modern Barsac! Impressive to have managed this quality and this (relatively) generous yield.

The 2019 Doisy Daëne has seriously intense notes of pineapple upside-down cake, ripe apricots and lemon marmalade with hints of acacia honey, paraffin wax, orange blossoms and preserved ginger plus a waft of marzipan. The palate is rich, unctuous and boldly decadent, featuring layer upon layer of exotic fruits and spices, finishing with that signature freshness. A powerhouse!

Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Wine Advocate (June 2020)

The 2019 Doisy-Daëne is creamy, ample and resonant in the glass. Wild flowers, ginger, orchard fruit, pear and tangerine oil are some of the many strands that inform the 2019. Rich and yet also wonderfully light on its feet, the 2019 is hauntingly beautiful and impeccable in its balance.
93-95 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous

The 2019 Doisy-Daëne is uncharacteristically backward on the nose and demands coaxing, eventually revealing lovely clear honey, quince and sea spray/oyster shell scents. The palate is beautifully balanced with a fine line of acidity, taut and fresh with a weightlessness on the finish that contradicts its intensity. Not the best Doisy-Daëne ever, but still a tiny bit fab.

This has a bracing, stony profile, with lemon pulp and chamomile notes backed by a very racy, pebble-textured core of jicama, blanched almond, tarragon and thyme. Features a long, pure, piercing finish. If you like the bony profile, try now; or let this soften in the cellar. Drink now through 2017.

Once part of the large Doisy estate founded in 1704, Chateau Doisy-Vedrines was named after one of the early owners of the estate after Doisy was separated into three properties in 1851. Chateau Doisy-Vedrines is now owned by the Casteja family who also own Chateau Trotte Vieille in Saint-Emilion and Chateau Batailley in Pauillac among their portfolio. The vineyard is planted to 80% Semillon, 15% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Muscadelle, and along with their grand vin they produce a second wine under the Chateau Petit Vedrines label. Interestingly they choose to label their wines as Sauternes, rather than Barsac as with the two other Doisy properties.

Thrilling and fun, bright and forward on the palate with lemon, lime, orange and pineapple - gorgeous tropical elements with a weighty, thick, unctuous texture. Lovely appeal here, really quite generous and tasty. It just has the acidity and the buzz you want - giving so much life- and then really matches the thickness and strong sweetness. I like this a lot. Fun, sweet and so drinkable but still with detail. Drink 2027 - 2050.

The 2020 Doisy-Védrines has an elegant bouquet, well defined and perhaps more poised than recent vintages from this Barsac estate. Dried honey, orange pith and light marmalade notes gradually unfurl in the glass, followed later by hints of candle wax and lemon verbena.

Always a fascinating white among the Bordeaux big names because they choose to work outside of the system with unusual grapes, bottled as Vin de France. The grapes are Chardonnay, Gros Manseng, Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc with, for me, the Viognier taking the lead at this stage, showing apricot and citrus notes alongside a white spice and soft cinnamon frame. Delicate, unusual and moreish - this needs time in the glass to really open up.

Flower and honeysuckle aromatics with pomelo, mango, white peach and banana notes are just great here. On the palate ,the wine is juicy, creamy and lifted.

Sauternes enthusiasts have long known that across the Garonne River they can procure what is arguably the greatest value wine in sweet white Bordeaux, which in exceptional years produces a wine equal to Sauternes which may sell at two or three times its price. This bizarre anomaly is the Chateau Fayau Cadillac, and although the wine cannot be labelled Sauternes as such, it is essentially identical in every way.

A vinous bargain when one considers the prices of top Sauternes houses.

Brilliant pale straw to straw colour with golden tinged edges. Intense honeyed aromatics of apricot and peach are trailed by some ripe pineapple, marmalade and spice notes. Rich and luscious in its textural feel yet possessing good balanced freshness, flavours of honeyed apricots are complemented by ripe peach, sweet pineapple, traces of marmalade and spice. Excellent depth, although a fraction lighter than the 2011. Finishes long and fresh with a honeyed apricot, peach, subtle marmalade and spice aftertaste.

Unusual for Bordeaux, the Pessac-Léognan region is equally famous for its white wines as for its reds. These Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc blends are considered as some of the great white wines of the world. Elegant and textured due to some time spent in oak barrels, they're full flavoured and will benefit from mid term cellaring. The Chateau Ferran Blanc is a blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Semillon.

Brilliant water like colour with a distinctive greenish tinge around the edges and a watery hue. Nosing reveals grassy characters intermixed with a faint whiff of capsicum and citrus over a background of pencil shavings and a hint of asparagus. The palate is quite dry and possesses a rounded textural feel with flavours of grassy asparagus and citrus followed by pencil shavings and a touch of spice. Clean dry finish. Aftertaste of grassy asparagus, citrus and spicy cedar.

It is not heavy but quite straightforward, sporting tangerine and quince notes on the finish. Decent, early-drinking Sauternes.

Wine Spectator

Full and rich, flavors of apricot, orange and spice are coupled with a dry core and fine acidity. Everything is in balance in this rich, ageworthy wine, with a fresh and crisp finish.

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
The 2019 Filhot has a light bouquet with honeysuckle and linseed aromas, perhaps just missing the energy and intensity of the best Sauternes. The palate is actually better than the nose suggests with admirable purity, well balanced and with a fresh, viscous finish of pineapple and peach. I just hope that the aromatics take a leaf out of the palate's book and improves during élevage.

2024 Chateau Grand Village Blanc Pre-Arrival Offer

Bordeaux, FRANCE
$59. 99

$719.88 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Given they are under the same ownership of the Guinaudau family, Chateau Grand Village is often referred to as Chateau Lafleur’s second vineyard. The estate has been owned by the Guinaudau’s relatives for hundreds of years, however it was not until the year 2000 that they began to produce wine themselves from the property. Situated on the edge of the Fronsac region and classified as Bordeaux Superieur, the vineyard is planted to 79% Merlot and 21% Bouchets (Cabernet Franc). The terroir is similar to Saint Emilion with its mix of calcisol going down a foot or so to a bedrock mostly made up of asteria limestone. At Grand Village, they practice many of the same techniques employed at Lafleur, including pruning and de-budding adapted to each vine plant, crop thinning in summer and de-leafing. The grapes are picked by hand, followed by very careful sorting and selection. Grand Village also produces a white wine from a blend of Sauvignon Blanc (85%) and Semillon (15%), from a 5 acre plot.
Other Reviews....
The 2024 Grand Village Blanc was picked from September 5 to 11. This has a vivacious bouquet with lime flower, honeysuckle and light wild peach notes that are beautifully defined. The palate is fresh and vibrant with a lightly spiced opening. It is delineated with just a dab of orange rind on the finish. The 2024 is irresistible. Drink 2027-2037.

This is a wild GV with so much sliced lemon, green apple and lime, as well as hints of flint. Mussel shells, too. Medium-bodied, tangy and vivid. A blend of 78% sauvignon and 22% semillon.

Scheduled to be bottled in June (tasted out of tank), the 2024 Grand Village (Lafleur) Blanc has a bright, racy, mineral-driven style in its crushed citrus, lime, chalk, and sappy, minty herb-driven aromatics. It's medium-bodied, has a vibrant spine of acidity, and outstanding length.
