Bordeaux / France

Red

Cheval Blanc and Yquem's famed winemaker, Pierre Lurton, fashions this wine at his home estate. It is a delicious, up-front, fruity, silky-textured, medium-bodied Bordeaux possessing plenty of red and black currant fruit as well as notions of wood spice and earth. Consume it over the next 3-4 years. Good value. Feb 2009, www.robertparker.com

Noel Verset - A Legend of Cornas

Noel Verset is one of the world’s great wine legends. His staggering 75-year winemaking career was instrumental in putting Cornas on the fine wine map. What is more staggering is that for much of his career his wines remained undiscovered, forced to work two jobs just to make ends meet. Today his wines are some of the most expensive, iconic and collected ...
