It’s no surprise that Château Sipian has been recognized as a great estate on the Left Bank since the 1840‘s. With its classic Garonnaise soil of porous gravel and sand and its proximity to the river Gironde, this is the classic terroir for producing great, Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux. The Mehaye family purchased the estate in 1978 and Frederick Mehaye has been at the helm since 1989. Frederick farms his 25 year old vines of Cabernet, Merlot and Petit Verdot naturally and makes the wine with just a bit of new oak so the great aromatic complexity and fruit inherent to this part of Bordeaux can shine through the wine.
Sipian has old vines, rooted in the classic gravelly soil of Bordeaux, creating a perfect setting for making medium bodied, aromatic Cabernet-Sauvignon based blends that drink well young, are fantastic at the table and age gracefully in a proper cellar.

Any cut of beef or lamb will be a great complement but the wine is versatile enough to work with roasted poultry or mushroom dishes.
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.
90-92 Pts, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 91 Pts (Editors’ Choice), Wine Enthusiast – 91 Pts, Decanter
The wines get consistent high praise but 2018 is truly something special. 90-92 from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. 91 points and an Editor’s Choice designation from Wine Enthusiast. 91 more from Decanter who provides “There is so much to enjoy in the smaller appellations this year. Drinking Window 2022 – 2031” and another 90 point score from James Suckling. This is a home run value – especially for the price.
Not Eligible for Futher Discount-From famed winemaker, Robert Foley comes an absolute delight of a bottle of wine. A seamless Bordeaux blend of 80% Cabernet, 17% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot that is incredibly smoothly now but should have another decade easy of prime drinking. It is the definition of a Saturday Night bottle of wine. One to cherish for a special occasion.
The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
