2024 Château Sainte Roseline Prestige Rose, Provence, France $24.99
Grapes: Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah
Château Sainte Roseline is one of only a few classified crus in Provence. The wine itself is a beautifully balanced, rather elegant blend of four grapes—Grenache Cinsault, Tibouren, Mourvedre and Syrah—all organic estate fruit. This dramatic bottle is produced in five different sizes, from petite to grande. "Roseline Prestige is a tank reserved to those who love Provence. The domains oenologist selected it's best grape variety of the AOP Côtes de Provence appelations thus permitting it to elaborate a clean and elegant wine in the Roseline style. The flask's design, particularly purified, has multiple distinctions." - Winery
2024 Le Cloitre Rose, Provence, France $24.99
The Chapel of Sainte Roseline, built in the 11th century, and the Cloister, built right next to it in the 12th century, are both classified as historic monuments and well known in the Provence and beyond.
Referring to the 12th century Cloister located on the estate, the "Le Cloître" Rosé is an elegant and balanced cuvée and made from some of the best grapes of the Cru Classé Château.
This pale Provence Rosé comes with a nose of red fruit like strawberries and juicy Peaches. A fine balance between aroma and liveliness. Persistent and elegant in the mouth, again with red berries a little peach, lemon and herbal notes. Dry with a bright acidity. Really refreshing, a great example of the Provence style.
The white wines of Château Carbonnieux were seen as some of the top wines of Graves. At the time, there were two leaders in terms of winemaking in Pessac-Léognan – Château Haut-Brion for red wines and Château Carbonnieux for white wines. These white wines soon gained traction and acclaim outside of France in the Ottoman Empire, where they were adored among royalty and called, “the mineral water of Carbonnieux.”
2024 Des Demoiselles Rose, Provence, France $20.99
Grown on an estate just down the road from the vines behind Whispering Angel and $100 Garrus rosé, Chateau des Demoiselles is the quintessential French rosé. The product of a certified-organic estate and meticulous winemaking.
2024 Lampe de Meduse Rose, Provence, France $24.99
Lampe de Méduse, with its unique silhouette, is the Château Sainte Roseline flagship. It has embodied the history and expertise of the estate, becoming the true symbol of our heritage and the excellence since 1950. A legendary cuvée that spans generations, carrying with it the soul and elegance of our terroir.
2020 Chateau Mazetier Tradition Bordeaux Rouge. Bordeaux, France $15.99
One of our favorite values in Bordeaux ran dry. After tasting what seemed like a thousand petit chateau, we discovered Chateau Mazetier. Château Mazetier is a tiny, family-owned vineyard on the right bank of the Garonne River in Bordeaux. Winemaker Joseph Pallaruelo established the estate in the 1930's with an 8-hectare vineyard. The property, now comprised of 20 hectares, is headed by Joseph's grandson, Pascal, and Pascal's wife, Karine. The estate produces some of the most elegant and best-value red wines on the market. TASTING NOTES: The Mazetier pours a dark ruby with a scarlet rim. On the nose, it is aromatic with wild cherry and ripe raspberry rising from the glass, mixed with notes of cassis and spice. On the palate, dark cherry fruit and silky lavender envelop a light mineral backbone. The finish is soft and lush, yet still retains its elegance.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec
2019 Chateau Puyanche Rouge, Francs Cotes De Bordeaux, France $16.99
The soils in this Francs Cote de Bordeaux vineyard are composed of limestone and clay where the 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon are grown for this blend. Sustainable agricultural practices are used in the vineyard, with hand selection of grapes before the are brought into the press house. The grapes see maceration before fermentation for up 3 to 4 weeks in stainless steel tanks, and then see aging in tanks for another 18 months.
Wine Enthusiast scored this 92 points saying, “Full of black fruits and with a dense texture, this wine shows power along with concentration. The generous character will help it age. Drink from 2024.”
2021 Chateau Fontenil Fronsac, Bordeaux, France $51.99
Nestled in the heart of Bordeaux, Chateau Fontenil presents a symphony of flavors in every sip. This velvety elixir tantalizes your palate with a burst of ripe black cherries, hints of tobacco, and a whisper of vanilla. The winemaker harmoniously blends Merlot and Cabernet Franc to create a complex, full-bodied wine with supple tannins. Pair this opulent creation with succulent lamb chops, roasted duck, or a tender filet mignon for a gastronomic experience that will transport you to the rolling hills of France. Cheers to indulging in life's exquisite pleasures.
2020 Chateau Lilian Ladouys, Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel, St. Estephe, Bordeaux, France $42.99
Château Lilian Ladouys is a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel (the top Cru Bourgeois classification) whose deep commitment to organic agriculture is driven by the Lorenzetti family’s passion and the knowledge of the estate’s teams.
When tasted, Lilian Ladouys always reveals a rich and crisp structure with ripe tannins and refined oak which melts into an explosion of fruit. It has the opulence and length of a Saint-Estèphe fine wine. Thanks to the appellation’s limestone-clay subsoils, its power is balanced out by a wonderful sensation of freshness.
Our top wine is matured for an average of 14 months in our superb barrel store (40-60% new oak depending on the vintage). Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot make up the majority of the blend, with the proportions varying from one year to the next. They are supplemented by Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. The estate’s wines go into gravity-fed vats and undergo vinification with a partially gravity-based system, which is more sensitive to the integrity and subtleties of the grapes and the wine.
Cabernet sauvignon: 45%, Merlot: 50%, Petit Verdot: 4%‧, Cabernet Franc
