Hi Everyone,
Remember last summer when our friend Céline called in from Bordeaux? It went like this:
“Hey, I have the greatest deal of my career for you on a 2020 vintage Saint Emilion from a tiny domaine called Chateau La Chapelle. We started the collaboration several vintages ago: the wine did not have any ratings nor much international recognition – It just tasted amazing, solid, and super juicy with beautiful black fruit & violet notes. We bought the entire production, we usually sell half of it in Paris restaurants…and I secure the rest for the US market. The quantity offered is all I have left on this vintage!”
We snapped her tranche up, and you all collectively blew through it.
Many of you have been asking for seconds.
…Who here is ready for an encore tranche, from the same revered 2020 vintage, no less?!?
Yes, this one:
“A fruity pure Merlot wine that has spice and tannins as well as juicy black fruits. Smoky with a jammy character that still allows room for acidity, the wine is likely to be ready to drink from 2025. Organic. 91 points. (reviewed at $30)” – Wine Enthusiast
“Aromas of dark plums, dark cherries, violets, wet earth, marmite and cigar box. Medium-bodied with fine, powdery tannins. Dark and chocolatey with a fleshy texture and a dense, flavorful finish. Compact. 100% merlot. From organically grown grapes. Try from 2023.” 91 Points. -James Suckling
In the spirit of hoarding, let’s keep this beauty in the $17’s!
Huh?
Yep – Highly-rated, organic, Saint-Emilion in the $17’s, we are kicking off the year with fireworks for you all.
First-come-first-served.
Thanks for the support!
