Give the Gift of Wine: Mixed 12-pack of Top-Quality 2014 Bordeaux Half-Bottles in Wood Box

12-pack of Top-Quality 2014 Bordeaux Half-Bottles in Wood Box $350 SOLD OUT

Stop by the shop this Saturday to sample a few fantastic red wines from Bordeaux.

If you’re looking for the perfect gift for the wine lover in your life – even if that wine lover is you – look no further than our mixed 12-pack of Bordeaux half bottles packed in attractive wood boxes. We selected an assortment of “Left-Bank” mostly Cabernet Sauvignon-based Bordeaux, ranging from Cru Bourgeois to Classified Growth wines.

All wines are from the 2014 vintage, which has shaped up to be the best vintage following the historic back-to-back vintages of 2009 and 2010. The long growing season and a glorious autumn allowed for both maximum ripening and concentration. Yet ultimately it was the cool summer weather that has determined the style of the wines, with low pH and great body the wines of 2014 Bordeaux will generally show both power and freshness.

The sealed gift box includes a one page description of the wines and two each of the following bottles:

Château Lynch Bages (Pauillac)
69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot
This classified “Fifth Growth” estate is one of the most recognized producers in the world. Since 1973 it has been owned by Jean-Michel Cazes and is now run by his son, Jean-Charles.

Château Maucaillou (Moulis-en-Médoc)
52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot
A property on the rise. Philippe Dourthe is at the helm of this family owned estate known for producing wines with depth of fruit and a firm and tannic structure.

Château Pédesclaux (Pauillac)
53% Cabernet-Sauvignon, 47% Merlot
Pédesclaux recently enlarged their vineyard holdings with the purchase of 29 acres situated on the Milon plateau. These vines are located next to parcels owned by Château Lafite Rothschild and Château Mouton Rothschild.

Château du Glana (Saint-Julien)
70% Cabernet-Sauvignon, 30% Merlot
A complete renovation in 2003 brought Château du Glana up to the standards of modern times in its wine making and vineyard management techniques. A genuine value wine from Saint-Julien.

Château Chasse Spleen (Moulis-en-Médoc)
50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot
One of nine “Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnels” as classified in 2003, and one of the top two producers in the Moulis-en-Médoc appellation (alongside Château Poujeaux).

Château Sociando Mallet (Haut-Médoc)
60% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc
Sociando-Mallet was a forgotten and derelict property by the time it was bought by Jean Gautreau in 1969. The estate has since seen considerable expansion and modernization, and subsequently a reputation for quality.

en Magnum
