It’s not hard to see why the quality in Bordeaux has risen exponentially in the past decade and a half. Finally, all of these great Chateaux at once realized the value in making more than their flagship bottling – and started devoting a heap of money and resources to build up their ‘super seconds’ program.
Some of the wineries saw the vision first and have become staples in terms of looking for the very best value wines. Today’s Chateau was on the forefront of that change.
In 2009, Chateau Clinet decided to pour all their money into a brand new state of the art wine facility in the heart of Pomerol. That thing is like a straight up science fiction museum.
They decided they’d add another wine to their fleet, ‘an everyday drinking’ Bordeaux that they called Ronan. Utilizing the entire team and some of their younger fruit, they were one of the first to tap into the Bordeaux with immediate drinkability. Now 15 vintages later, Ronan is one of the very best bargains each year in the Right Bank.

The 2018 Ronan by Client is medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it has fragrant notes of black and red cherries and blackberry preserves with cinnamon toast and fallen leaves. Medium-bodied, it is lively and fresh with a grainy texture and savory finish. This is a good value wine.

Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
WS #4 2019 Wine of the Year, 96 Points, Wine Spectator
2016 was an incredibly special year in Napa Valley. It was essentially the 5th straight vintage of near perfect-conditions and a lot of the big boys produced some of their biggest, most elegant Cabernets to date. Groth’s was still one of the standouts in any group, a deeply concentrated, weighty Cab with sappy, juicy fruit and a carefully intertwined tannic structure. Absolutely gorgeous.
At J Vineyards, Nicole is nothing short of a magician, making 30 different skus or more each vintage between her Pinots, Chardonnays, and Sparkling wines. For the vineyard’s flagship Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, up to 100 individual small lots are combined to make this great wine. Somehow, the blend is effortless–a quintessential RRV Pinot that has those soaring aromatics, bright red fruits, clove, and nutmeg spice with perfect balance.
As soon as you take the first sip on this one, you can easily see the Burgundian connection. Doglia’s Ruche di Castagnole Monferrato 2022 is medium bodied with scents of fresh cut lavender. On the palate, it’s an absolute delight, full of flavor but with an acid backbone that make it perfect to pair with almost any cuisine. Notes of wild fruits and a touch of pepper are just so good. This is a silky smooth, delicious bottle of wine.
