The Rothschild’s plan has come to fruition. Year after year, the chateau has grown in status and acclaim, churning out some truly historic wines in 2009, 2010, and now 2015. Of course, 2015 was a banner year in St. Emilion, easily the best vintage since the monumental 2005.
As the vintage received critical praise and 100 point scores rained down on the top properties, prices skyrocketed. Like their top bottling, the 100-pt 2015 Lafite-Rothschild which has been trading at an easy $900 a bottle. It may have seemed that value would be impossible to find in a vintage that Wine Enthusiast rated the region an astounding 97 points.
After an amazing year of Bordeaux deals, this is still the best of the year. The 2015 Edmond de Rothschild “Chateau des Laurets”. It dazzled, displaying all the silky, elegant tannins and harmonious nature characteristic of the vintage.
Even more amazing is the price. $35 a bottle, just $31.50/btl on cases. This is a case buy. Lay some down in a dark cellar for the long haul but don’t be afraid to enjoy some right now.

The 2015 des Laurets has a concentrated fruit-driven bouquet with blackberry and raspberry scents bounding from the glass, the new oak neatly embroidered. The palate is fleshy and ripe, layers of crisp red cherry and strawberry fruit, nicely integrated oak and impressive substance towards the finish. This is a very well-crafted, thoroughly delicious Puisseguin Saint Emilion in the making.

90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.

“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2021 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
