2015 HAUT-RIAN BORDEAUX SEC
$9.99 BTL./$119.88 CASE
$9.99 BTL./$119.88 CASE
The new 2015 is ultra-fragrant with pronounced mango/fig/lemongrass qualities along with enhanced mighty mineral tones. In the mouth, it's flavorful attack is an energetic jaunt to the palate! Blazing delicacy, clean and with plenty of substance due to the very old vines, we learned that there's way more love and dimension in this wine than should ever be in a 10 buck wine. Two-thirds comes from very old vines in Entre-Deux-Mers (white clay), one-third comes from the slopes above Rions and Laroque (limestone & gravel). You would be unwise to pass this overachiever up - order it by the trunkload for your spring and summer drinking pleasure. ORDERS PLACED WILL ARRIVE IN MAY!!
2015 HAUT-RIAN BORDEAUX ROSE
$9.99 BTL./$119.88 CASE
$9.99 BTL./$119.88 CASE
You'll be hard-pressed to find another 10 buck rosé that is directly-pressed that's this good!! One of the big hits last year, this wine caused lots of shark-like frenzy and folks were coming back to refill their stocks because it goes down oh so easily. In fact, one of our good friends who lives across the river lovingly refers to it as ‘The Crack of the ‘Couve!!’
Meaty raspberry fruit with fennel, licorice and herbs riding shotgun. Alluring aromatics lead into an equally alluring palate. Saline, serious lemon/berry mineral. Pulsating, radiating, elevating, meditating, vibrating!! Elegantly positioned and impressively lingering. Terrific stuff to pour with a bunch of friends and appetizers but don’t be fooled, this is quite a gourmand rose working well with grilled shrimp and fresh crab. ORDERS PLACED WILL ARRIVE IN MAY!!

2013 HAUT-RIAN
COTES-DE-BORDEAUX ROUGE
$9.99 BTL./$119.88 CASE
COTES-DE-BORDEAUX ROUGE
$9.99 BTL./$119.88 CASE
For vintage 2013, Michel produced no Cuvee Prestige, opting to put it all into his classic red Bordeaux cuvee. Prominent violet tones surround smoke, subtle tobacco-leaf, hints of fennel and intermittent espresso tones all which take excellent form and present themselves in a deceptively deep manner. Lacy, silky texture with a classic firm Bordeaux middle that builds and flows judiciously into an earthy, mineral finish that lingers nicely. All in all a very nice overachiever for 10 bucks and one that pairs beautifully with just about everything. ORDERS PLACED WILL ARRIVE IN MAY!!
