The Evening's Featured Wines

Maison Champy 2006 Premier Cru Hospices de Beaune ~ $39.99
A tiny production gem, less than 50 cases, of Maison Champy 1er Cru Côte de Beaune Cuvée Brunet--from the premier auction in the world and stored in the winery's temperature controlled cellars in pristine condition.

This beautifully crafted cuvee combines some of the most prestigious 1er cru vineyards in Beaune. Like all the world-class wines produced by famed Pinot Noir specialist, Roland Masse, the results are truly spectacular. The aromatics are complex, showing black cherry, all spice, and a hint of cedarwood. The wine is well balanced with a sensational mid palate, with vibrant fruit including, black cherry, plum and coffee notes. The blend of the three vineyards allows a balance of the "muscle power” of the Cent Vignes, with the “roundness” of the Bressandes, and the “finesse” of the Teurons. The oak is well integrated, and the harmony of the blend make it drinkable now and cellar worthy through 2018.

Château Pontet-Caillou 2008 Pessac-Léognan ~ $19.99
50% Merlot for the roundness and fruit and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon for the tannin and aging potential.

This Chateau is located right next to the highly regarded and pricy Domaine de Chevalier, and shares the same unique rich black sand and gravel soil and climate conditions.

This red wine from Pessac Léognan has a powerful bouquet, fleshy and balanced, with structured tannins, and a long and pleasant finish. Best techniques and agronomic knowledge have been used to create a high quality vineyard, worthy of this great soil, and this great red wine!

This deep, dark and delicious Cab has aromas of blackberry, leather and cedar. It has a silky mouthfeel, along with flavors of red fruit, blackberry, spice and a touch of vanilla. The wine is rich, but nicely balanced with acidity. Vanilla, clove, dark chocolate and a hint of cedar finely knit together in a seamless wine that has power, sophistication, and complexity. The vibrancy of the fruit and tannin guarantee this wine will continue to improve with age.
