Bordeaux Week

2020 Clos Puy Arnaud (Pre-Arrival)

Certified biodynamic estate in Castillon, on the same limestone backbone as Saint-Émilion, guided by the Valette family whose legacy includes Château Pavie. The 2020 earned 95 points from Vinous, 94 from Decanter, and 92 from Wine Advocate - dark berry, violet, saline precision, and remarkable value relative to its Right Bank neighbors. Ships after 7/15/2026.

2018 Château Bourdieu No.1 (Pre-Arrival)

One of the oldest estates in Blaye, with roots to the 15th century. This Merlot-led blend from Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux earned 97 points from Decanter and comes in under $20 - ripe blackberry, plum, soft tannins, and a long finish. Pre-arrival: ships after 7/1/2026. Sold in increments of 2.

New Arrivals from Bordeaux

Fresh arrivals from Bordeaux have landed, showcasing the region's hallmark balance of structure, elegance, and age-worthy character across both Left and Right Bank styles. From Cabernet-driven blends with notes of blackcurrant and cedar to Merlot-forward wines with plush fruit and silky tannins - a great way to explore what makes Bordeaux one of the world's most celebrated wine regions.
