Our expert, Jean-Marc Sauboua, has enviable contacts across Bordeaux. So, when he heard that a prestigious estate in Saint-Émilion (a storied region home to some of the world’s finest, ageworthy Merlot-based reds) was looking to part with a special parcel of wine...well, he didn’t even hesitate.
Out of the hundreds of châteaux in Saint-Émilion, only four earned the highest official classification: Premier Grand Cru Classé A. They are Angelus, Ausone, Cheval Blanc and Pavie. Réserve du Charme 2019 hails from one of these elite estates, but of course, we can’t say which. Imagine the uproar among their customers if they learned how little you’ll pay for this special release.
Here’s what we can say: the château’s Grand Vin sells for $440+ and has been rated a perfect 100 points at least six times since the year 2000. So, while this wine isn’t their Grand Vin, you can be assured it’s of exceptional quality.
We can also tell you that Réserve du Charme showcases all the elegance of the remarkable 2019 vintage. A classic marriage of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, it was patiently aged in fine oak barrels. Look forward to seductively rich blackberry and strawberry flavors, with structured tannins and a lengthy, vibrant finish. Although it’s drinking beautifully now, this Réserve will continue to develop complexity for years to come.
We’ll let one thing slip. When your case arrives, read the back label very carefully, and all will be revealed. This is the Bordeaux deal of a lifetime—secure your share today.
