More 2000 Bordeaux - Including LA TIMES' "Wine Of The Week"
Bonjour from the Duke of Bourbon!

The Duke is really excited about the terrific 2000 vintage wines coming from Bordeaux. We have been culling through those wines to find the finest quality at the best price possible. We believe we have found a real winner in La Croix de Beaucaillou. And, guess what! The Los Angeles Times just selected it as the "Wine of the Week" in their May 28, 2003, edition.

This is the second wine from the well-known Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, in St.-Julien. The grapes are grown in gravelly soil near the Gironde River. The vineyard is well-named, "des beaux caillox" (of the beautiful pebbles). Generally, La Croix de Beaucaillou is made from younger vines than the grand vin and usually contains a bit more Merlot. The Merlot is revealed in the succulence and flesh of the wine. Despite its accessibility, the wine can live quite easily for 10-12 years. Noted wine critic Robert Parker rates it up to 90 points and calls it a "second label seek-out." Nothing is neglected to achieve the very highest quality. Many experts consider Ducru-Beaucaillou (the 2000 vintage sells for approximately $125.00) to be the quintessential wine of the Medoc and perhaps of all of Bordeaux.

We have 2000 La Croix de Beaucaillou available for you at $36.00 per bottle.

We know we disappointed a few of you when our supply of the highly rated Chateau Charmail sold out so quickly last week. We searched diligently for a replacement and found Chateau Malecasse, a neighbor of Chateau Charmail, a wine that exceeded even our lofty expectations. This is a classy wine with loads of crushed raspberries, minerals and spices on the nose. It is full-bodied and concentrated, yet refined. The Wine Spectator calls it "elegant claret" and "seriously good" and rates it 90 points on their scale.

We have 2000 Chateau Malecasse available for you at $22.50 per bottle. Sorry, but we have to limit purchases to 6 bottles per order.

We are pleased to offer you discounts of 5% with the purchase of 6 or more bottles and 10% with the purchase of 24 or more bottles. Both of our featured wines and the ones listed below qualify for the discounts.
