Cheers! from the Duke of Bourbon
The Duke is pleased to offer a selection of "second" wines from three world-class Bordeaux chateaux. Generally speaking, second wines from top chateaux are produced from the younger vines on the estate. They are vinified alongside the first wines in exactly the same way and exhibit many of the same superb qualities. They usually are exceptional values, as they are priced considerably less than the premier wines. When properly stored, they should age well for many years. Our three selections from two excellent vintages are as follows:
From Chateau Pichon-Lalande - 2001 Reserve de la Comtesse (Pauillac) A blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 11% Cabernet Franc produced from 43% of the production, this lovely wine benefits from the same generosity of Merlot that gives the grand vin its voluptousness and allure. $35.00 per bottle - $199.50 per 6-pack - $378.00 per case
From Chateau Haut-Brion - 1999 Le Bahans du Haut-Brion (Pessac-Leognan) This wine has gained a considerable following in the last decade. It is just what it should be - a classic microcosm of the the grand vin with the unique complexity of its magic origins. $42.00 per bottle - $239.40 per 6-pack - $453.60 per case
From Chateau Gruaud-Larose - 1999 Sarget du Gruaud-Larose (Saint-Julien) Eminently accessible at a relatively early age, this second wine shares the same grape percentages as its big brother: slightly less than 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, slightly more than 30% Merlot and a fragrant mix of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec.
$25.00 per bottle - $142.50 per 6-pack - $270.00 per case.
Buy a mixed case, four of each of these beauties, and still get the maximum discount per bottle. You pay a total of $367.20 for the 12-bottle combo.
