| 2006 Albert Bichot, Domaine Monthoux, Beaujolais Villages $13 |
|
All Gamay, this classic Beaujolais from the village of Blace, has a deep ruby-red color and delicate aromas of blackberries and iris blossom. The wine is well balanced with very good fruity body and a fine tannic finish. |
| 2006 Domaine Rene Bessac, Plan de Dieu, Cotes du Rhone Villages $15 |
|
This blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre and 10% Syrah. comes from vineyards located on the plateau of Plan de Dieu between Gigondas and Rasteau. The bouquet offers ripe black fruits and spicy pepper. The Bessac has a full body that should continue to develop over the next couple years. |
| 2005 Montcanon, Canon Fronsac $23 |
|
Chateau Montcanon is situated on the slopes of Canon-Fronsac, just south of the Fronsac appellation. This blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc was aged for 12 months before release. The wine has a terrific purity and richness, with well-integrated oak. The nose is full of aromas of violets, blueberries, and minerals. It is rich and generous in the mouth, with ripe tannins, and smooth, long finish. |
| 2003 Patris, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru $36 |
|
90% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, the Patris has a velvety texture and good structure. The wine is full and smooth and lingers on the tongue. It is drinking great right now and will last for 10-15 years more. It’s a shop favorite. If you haven’t tried it, come check it out. |
