Roederer has always been noted for producing stunning wines. From the beginning, the house understood the importance of the export market especially in the US and Russia— the flagship Cristal was first made for the Russian Tsar and his court, produced in a sweet style, and sold in a clear bottle to showcase its contents. Of all the major houses, Roederer draws primarily from their own extensive vineyard holdings. The majority of their holdings...

2002 was a miracle vintage that is sweet, fresh and very Pinot Noir, according to Allen Meadows, aka the Burghound. He goes on to say that is was, “an excellent vintage from top to bottom, something that rarely occurs and if ever there was a vintage in which to buy the regional and commune level wines, 2002 is it the best wines absolutely belong in your cellars.” Low rainfall and intentionally restricted yields resulted in a smaller vintage....
Please join us for a stellar 10th anniversary blind showdown of one of Bordeaux’s finest modern vintages. 2005 enjoyed perfect weather conditions throughout the year which produced rich, balanced, long-aging wines. As Robert Parker sums up, “Tasting the 2005 red wines from the bottle, many of them three or four times, confirmed that this is the greatest vintage produced during my 30-year career. Some of my earlier reservations concerning the...
1990 is widely considered one of the best and most consistent vintages in nearly every major wine region on the globe. Bordeaux experienced one of its greatest vintages of the 20th century and Burgundy is a classic vin-de-garde. Rhone is a triumph for both the northern and southern parts of the region and Piedmont enjoyed its best vintage since 1945. It seemed like every region did marvelously well in 1990. The wines are flavorful and aromatic with...
Claret aficionados have long regarded this famed second growth as possessing one the greatest terroirs in Bordeaux. Montrose is known for producing massively concentrated and powerful wines with profound complexity and richness that are built for the long haul - just like its vineyards, which have hardly changed since it was founded in 1815 by Theodore Dumoulin. The cepage is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot...
The Duroché family has been making wine in Gevrey-Chambertin since 1933, but it wasn’t until Pierre Duroché took the helm in 2005 that the Domaine reached a whole new level of excellence. Pierre is not out to impress anyone with big, flashy, and oaky wines but rather shows off his expertise through wines with finesse, balance, and terror distinction. The Duroché holdings include 8.25 ha of Gevrey-Chambertin, including Bourgogne Rouge and Blanc,...
No vintage in the post-World War era has a reputation as great as 1945. Its legendary status is well deserved based solely on the quality of the wines, but the fact that it is the “victory” vintage following World War II only adds to its luster. 1945 was a remarkably good vintage for virtually every wine region in the world, but it was especially great for Claret. Interestingly, the harvest in Bordeaux got underway on September 13th, the same...

Margaux is famous for producing fragrant wines with sweet fruit flavors, silky tannins, and considerable delicacy. There is an elegance to the wines of Margaux but the wines are by no means meager. Some of the greatest wines of Bordeaux come from this appellation. Margaux is a widespread district which can be quite variable in style but, on the whole, the benchmark examples display a classic cedar bouquet with balanced elegance and harmony. ...

Raveneau is still considered the greatest domaine in Chablis but the wines are getting harder and harder to find. This is classic mineral rich and racy Chablis from the regions greatest domaine. Harvesting is done manually and picking is generally done early in order to retain...

Please welcome Allen Meadows, aka Burghound, at one of America’s greatest culinary destinations for a superb night of the finest cuisine paired with top Red Burgundy. Roumier, Rousseau, Leroy, DRC, Dujac and Mugnier are arguably burgundies greatest domains and their ability to express terroir is nothing less than extraordinary. Allen’s insights will bring it all together and make sense of the intricacies of producer, terroir and vintage,...
1996 was a stellar vintage for Cabernet Sauvignon in Bordeaux. Temperatures in June and July were above average, however the beginning of August was unusually cool which retained acidity. Then three weeks of warm, dry sunny weather came in to fully ripen the grapes. The result was exceptionally pure Cabernet Sauvignon. The 1996’s have fantastic length, depth of flavor and great finesse. These are classic left bank wines: muscular, and densely packed...
Haut-Brion is considered the most elegant and aromatically complex of the First Growth as well as the only Graves property included in the 1855 classification. It has a perfumed minerality that is really quite amazing. Connoisseurs of fine wine consider it one of the greatest and most intriguing wines in the world. The Dillon family purchased Haut Brion in 1935, making it the only First Growth owned by an American family. Jean-Philippe Delmas, son...
Few winemakers are so in tune with their region that the wines they produce are considered to be the perfect expression of terroir, and Gerard Chave is one of them. Gerard’s son Jean-Louis, now head wine maker, has assumed the mantle of one of the world's best and most famous wines. His father left him some big shoes to fill, but Jean-Louis has worn them well, arguably elevating the consistency and greatness of everything that Chave represents....
CHÂTEAU PICHON LONGUEVILLE COMTESSE DE LALANDE VERTICAL DINNER For pure hedonistic pleasure in Bordeaux, it is hard to beat Pichon-Lalande. This famed and adored château is one of the top and most consistent in all the Haut-Médoc over the last fifty years.
