 2019 Château Tour de Gilet "Expression de Petit Verdot" Bordeaux Supérieur
The Varietal Showcase
Our journey begins with a rare and fascinating expression of Petit Verdot, a grape typically used in small quantities in Bordeaux blends. From the historic Château Tour de Gilet in Ludon-Médoc, neighboring the classified growth Château La Lagune, this wine is a testament to the versatility of Bordeaux’s terroir. Crafted by renowned oenologist Claude Gaudin, this wine showcases the deep color, fragrance, and structural intensity of Petit Verdot. It’s a unique opportunity to taste a piece of Bordeaux that few get to experience.

2013 Château Charmail, Haut-Médoc
The Mature Classic
Next, we travel to the Haut-Médoc to experience the magic of a mature Bordeaux from a challenging but rewarding vintage. Château Charmail, with roots dating to the 16th century, has produced a wine that is a standout from 2013. With over a decade of bottle age, this Cru Bourgeois is now showing impressive depth and refinement, with aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, and soft tobacco. It’s a testament to the aging potential of even modest Bordeaux and a perfect example of why patience is rewarded.

2020 Château des Graviers, Margaux
The Biodynamic Star
Our third wine takes us to the prestigious appellation of Margaux and the small, family-owned biodynamic estate of Château des Graviers. Led by fifth-generation winemaker Christophe Landry, this estate is a beacon of sustainable viticulture. The 2020 vintage is a blend of all six Bordeaux red varieties, with Cabernet Sauvignon dominant, fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in a combination of barriques, clay amphorae, and concrete tanks. The result is a wine of elegance, finesse, and power, a true expression of Margaux’s famed gravelly terroir.

2012 Château Léoville Poyferré, Saint-Julien, 2nd Growth
The Classified Growth
We conclude our journey with a masterpiece from one of Bordeaux’s elite “Super Seconds.” Château Léoville Poyferré is a benchmark for the Saint-Julien appellation, and this 2012, sourced directly from the château’s cellars, is a testament to their consistency and quality. With a decade of perfect cellaring, this wine is just entering its prime drinking window, offering a complex aromatic profile of black cherry, plum, and spice, all supported by a firm, tannic structure. It’s a blue-chip wine of incredible depth and complexity, a true collector’s item and a fitting finale to our exploration of Bordeaux.
