Giscours '06 is moderatly dense with a ripe, "sweet", scented yet muted black fruit nose. The wine has a soft center and finish with moderate tannic grip. Attractive pure fruit notes remain. Elegant and fine. Tasted from barrel April '07. By early 2009, Giscours is open to the nose, soft, fragrant and inviting. In the mouth, the wine is textured with a soft, ample center balanced by gentle, fine tannins in a lasting finish enhanced by "sweet" fruit notes. Charming, elegant and classically Margaux.

Wine Advocate-2nd Growth, Margaux, Bordeaux, France - "An intriguing blend of 48% Merlot, 48% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot, this inky purple-colored wine is ripe, progressively styled, big, rich, thick and juicy. In other words, the 2012 Lascombes is loaded." (Concentrated, Black Fruit, Cassis, Full-bodied)

Supple tannins with concentrated summer fruit flavors, with a pleasant spicy finish.

Chateau Paveil de Luze has been owned by the de Luze family since 1862, when the Medoc estate was purchased by the Baron Alfred de Luze. As you can see, Chateau Paveil de Luze takes its name from the original owner. At the time of the original purchase, the entire property was 120 hectares. In 2004, the estate was taken over by the next generation of the family. The following year, in 2005, they began a complete renovation of Chateau Paveil de Luze. Their next move was to hire Stephane Derenoncourt as their consultant for their Left Bank estate. The owner of the estate, Frederic de Luze also owns and manages a large negociant company, LD Vins and if that is not enough to keep him busy, he is also the director for the association of Cru Bourgeois.

Winter 2013 will remain in the memories of our vineyard craftsmen as one of the dampest of the last few years, significantly complicating their work conditions. Average temperatures between April 1 and May 31 were the lowest of the decade. Early in the season, our observations showed a delay of about ten days when compared to the 2012 vintage, which was already considered late. In the month of May, the rainy conditions caused an important amount of coulure in our older Merlots, also affecting the Cabernet Sauvignons. The risk of mildew was, as it had been in 2012, particularly fierce. Summer weather was then more favorable to us. The month of July was the hottest of the past fourteen years, without being marked by a heat wave. The development of the vines remained stalled on a late growth-cycle and we expected to begin harvesting in early October. But the month of September held an unpleasant surprise for us: rain, humidity and warm temperatures were our daily due. Dealing with the pressure of botrytis became the determining factor for planning harvest. We began harvesting on Friday, September 27, with a few of the young Merlots. The next day we increased our pace and, on Sunday, September 29, we harvested 10 hectares in one single day. The Merlots, so important to the identity of our wines, were picked in time and showed a level of phenolic and aromatic maturity that surpassed our expectations. We continued harvesting at a lively pace with the Petit Verdots and the Cabernet Sauvignons. The concentration of sugar was somewhat inferior to that of the Merlots, but the aromatic palettes were clean and precise, showing no vegetative odors. This confirmed the admirable reaction of the estate’s terroir in such difficult weather conditions, reflecting also the positive influence of the lovely month of July. During winemaking, the must was handled with care to avoid the extraction of any potentially rustic tannins. We were able to carefully preserve the silky and velvety identity of the estate’s wines. To find the right expression of this difficult vintage, we held many different tasting sessions, each leading to numerous debates. Finally, only a third of the total production was retained for the final blend of Château Palmer. Harvest dates: from 09/27/2013 to 10/11/2013 Blend Cabernet Sauvignon: 51% Merlot: 49%

Château Durfort-Vivens 2012 has a superb colour, deep ruby with garnet reflections. It is intense and complex on the nose, which delicately combines red fruits like Morello cherry and red currant with yellow plum, notes of white flowers (lilacs), spices (Cayenne pepper, liquorice), and a slight hint of tobacco and cigar box.

The Château Rauzan Gassies cellar is home to bottles that are remarkable in terms of age and size. The oldest bottles date back to 1944. Thanks to regular upkeep, refilling and new corks, we have preserved the vintages with great cellaring potential over time. Approximately two-thirds of our vintages are kept in the cellar. Thanks to chateau cellaring, those who love old vintages can enjoy the full expression of the wine. The cellar is not only a family heirloom, it is also a vital quality reference tool for our blending process, when we craft a new vintage by comparing it to older vintages.

This wine made from old vines has a brilliant ruby color. The nose is marked by flavor of small ripe red fruits, spices, and of vanilla. A harmonious and smooth wine, with a good intensity, very pleasant on the palate. Enjoy over the next 5 years with all your meals or by itself.
