Chateau Lafon-Rochet 2020 Saint-Estephe
$55.99Bordeaux France
Vinous 96 Rating
The 2020 Lafon-Rochet represents the essence of classicism in Bordeaux. Medium in body and finely-cut, Lafon-Rochet is one of the classiest, more refined Saint-Estèphes readers will come across. Dark fruit, earthiness, lavender, licorice, menthol and cloves add nuance, but it is the wine’s balance and vibrancy that impress most. Give the tannins a few years to melt away. Superb. Best after 2030. SPBX-6 -
Chateau Lagrange 2018 Saint-Julien
$79.99Bordeaux France
Jeb Dunnuck 97 Rating
The flagship 2018 Château Lagrange is a more dense, backward, serious wine, offering an unevolved yet incredibly promising bouquet of cassis, blackcurrants, scorched earth, graphite, and violets. A big, rich, full-bodied Saint-Julien, it delivers thrilling purity of fruit, plenty of background oak, ripe, silky tannins, and a great mid-palate. This is serious stuff, but it's going to require patience. Hide bottles for 7-8 years, count yourself lucky, and enjoy over the following two decades. R38-3 BX-6 SP59-6 -
Chateau Lagrange 2020 Les Fiefs de Lagrange Red Blend
Price range: $39.99 through $360.00Saint-Julien Bordeaux France
A true reflection of the appellation’s elegant and harmonious style, this vintage will be enjoyable almost immediately. As in the Chateau Lagrange Grand Vin, black and red fruit aromas predominate. The tangy fresh entry is followed by an ample midpalate and a nice long finish. All the ingredients are there to allow an excellent ageing in the cellar for the more patient wine lovers too.

Chateau Larcis Ducasse 2018 St-Emilion Grand Cru
$159.99Bordeaux France
Jeb Dunnuck 100 Rating
The 2018 Château Larcis Ducasse checks in as 89% Merlot and 11% Cabernet Franc that comes from a gorgeous hillside terroir on the Côte Pavie, located between Château Pavie and Château Bellefont-Belcier. Aged 18 months in 60% new barrels, it offers a truly sensational bouquet of ripe blackcurrants, espresso roast, scorched earth, bloody meat, chocolate, iron, and bouquet garni. A massive, super-rich Saint-Emilion with a dense, concentrated, layered mouthfeel, it has building yet sweet tannins and incredible purity of fruit. Reminding me of the 2005 shortly after release, this heavenly juice offers astonishing richness and depth while staying flawlessly balanced and elegant. Sadly, there are less than 3,000 cases produced, but this monumental, legendary wine won't hit maturity for a good 8-10 years and will have 40-50 years of longevity if well stored. SP54-17 -
Chateau Laroque 2022 Red Blend St Emilion Grand Cru Classe
Price range: $59.99 through $300.00Bordeaux France
Jeb Dunnuck 97 Rating
Looking at the Grand Vin 2022 Château Laroque, it checks in as 98% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc raised in 60% new oak with a mix in larger formats, as well as a portion in foudre. Gorgeous black raspberries, spring flowers, graphite, and truffly mineral and crushed stone-like nuances all shine in this stunningly complex, medium to full-bodied effort. The alcohol here is a healthy 14.7 with a pH of 3.4. This is an absolutely gorgeous wine.

Price range: $29.99 through $288.00Bordeaux France
Wine Enthusiast 92 Rating
Associated with Larose-Trintaudon, this estate has produced a dense wine. Rich tannins, spice, blackberry fruits and smoky acidity are all set for good aging. The wine’s concentration is impressive, and it should not be drunk before 2024.

Chateau Larrivet Haut-Brion 2020 Red Blend Pessac-Leognan
Price range: $59.99 through $300.00Bordeaux France
Jeb Dunnuck 95 Rating
The 2020 Château Larrivet Haut-Brion is a gorgeous, incredibly satisfying Pessac, and it’s certainly up with the finest vintages I’ve tasted from this estate. It has lots of red, blue, and black fruits as well as ample spice, leafy tobacco, truffle, and smoked earth, and it develops a beautiful sense of complexity and nuance with time in the glass. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it shows the vibrant, elegant style of the vintage, has ripe tannins, perfect overall balance, and a great finish. If you love a great Graves, buy a case of this beauty and enjoy over the next two decades. This estate continues to fly too far under the radar for most consumers. SP48-12

Chateau Lascombes 2010 Red Blend Margaux
Price range: $119.99 through $660.00Bordeaux France
Jeb Dunnuck 96 Rating
The 2010 Château Lascombes is flat-out gorgeous and might be the finest vintage from this château I’ve tasted. Based on 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot that was raised in 90% new French oak, it has a dense purple/plum hue as well as a blockbuster-like style in its darker currants, cassis, smoky tobacco, incense, and graphite aromas and flavors. Beautifully textured, full-bodied, dense, and concentrated, but still graceful and beautifully balanced, it’s clearly in its prime drinking window yet has another 2-3 decades of overall longevity. It is impossible to resist today. SP58-12
