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.

It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!
92 Points, Vinous – 91 Points, Wine Spectator
Feudo Montoni has been one of the best producers in Italy for literally hundreds of years, most notably for their work with Nero D’Avola grape in Sicily. It’s a gorgeous expression at such a good price. The 2020 “Lagnusa” is the perfect pizza or Thanksgiving wine with juicy black fruits, grippy tannins and a wonderful, fresh and herbaceous finish. Vinous Media gave the wine 92 points and raved, calling it “remarkably fresh yet long, leaving the mouth watering while still resonating on hints of blackberry.” You’re going to love this.
The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
