Nestled in between St. Emilion and Graves overlooking the beautiful Garonne River lies Château Le Doyenné – the passion project of Lorraine Watrin’s (Chateau Montrose) parents. They’ve spared no expense in resurrecting the historic property.
Dating back to 1791, and mentioned in the very first edition of Le Féret in 1858, they have painstakingly restored the property to its former glory over the last 25 years. They took it even further when they brought in Michel Rolland to oversee the winemaking.
It’s nearly impossible to find truly exceptional Bordeaux for under $20. This may be our chance in a lifetime to find a few exceptions to the rule. Drawn from what will go down as one of the historic age-worthy vintages – the 2018 Château Le Doyenné is absolutely phenomenal and for the price (and the life ahead in the bottle), this is a definite case buy. It holds the rare ‘Cellar Selection’ designation that Wine Enthusiast usually reserved for Barolo, Brunello or the big name Bordeaux. Almost never see anything under $25 with that tag, let alone at the price we have it for today.

With oenologue, Michel Rolland’s team behind this estate, it is not surprising that this wine is rich while also structured and perfumed. Wood aging gives a final polish to a full, generous and ageworthy wine. Drink from 2023.

“The 2018 Palmer is a legend in the making…This audacious Palmer was still revving its engines 48 hours after opening. There will never be another Palmer like this, sui generis. It was a massive risk. But by throwing caution to the wind, something extraordinary was born.” -100 points, Vinous
This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.

“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.”
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.
