Chateau Poujeaux, Moulis-en-Médoc

Yes, you read that right—this bottle is from the fabled 2000 vintage, one of the most critically acclaimed Bordeaux vintages of all time. And yes, that most price is also correct. Château Poujeaux is one of the top properties in the Moulis-en-Médoc appellation, which is bordered on its eastern edge and shares the same gravelly terroir. This is a fantastic opportunity to taste a Bordeaux Cabernet blend loaded with all the savory earth, leather, graphite and other secondary aromas that come with long aging in bottle. A direct-from-the-château purchase, this wine has rested undisturbed in our temperature-controlled warehouse and is in perfect drinking condition.

France

Bourgogne

Beaujolais

Enjoying the greatest wines of Beaujolais starts, as it usually does, with the lay of the land. In Beaujolais, 10 localities have been given their own AOC (Appellation of Controlled Origin) designation. They are: Saint Amour; Juliénas; Chénas; Moulin-à Vent; Fleurie; Chiroubles; Morgon; Régnié; Côte de Brouilly; and Brouilly.

Southwestern France

Bordeaux

Bordeaux surrounds two rivers, the Dordogne and Garonne, which intersect north of the city of Bordeaux to form the Gironde Estuary, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The region is at the 45th parallel (California’s Napa Valley is at the38th), with a mild, Atlantic-influenced climate enabling the maturation of late-ripening varieties.

Central France

Loire Valley

The Loire is France’s longest river (634 miles), originating in the southerly Cévennes Mountains, flowing north towards Paris, then curving westward and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Nantes. The Loire and its tributaries cover a huge swath of central France, with most of the wine appellations on an east-west stretch at47 degrees north (the same latitude as Burgundy).

Northeastern France

Alsace

Alsace, in Northeastern France, is one of the most geologically diverse wine regions in the world, with vineyards running from the foothills of theVosges Mountains down to the Rhine River Valley below.
