2016 Benjamin Leroux Mazoyeres-Chambertin Grand Cru
The 2016 Benjamin Leroux Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru is one of the finest wines in Leroux’s already celebrated 2016 Burgundy lineup and a superb example of how he balances precision, elegance, and Grand Cru depth. Sourced from the Mazoyères-Chambertin vineyard in Gevrey-Chambertin, the wine was completely destemmed in 2016, allowing for remarkable purity and transparency of terroir. Neal Martin awarded it 95–97 points, describing an “outstanding bouquet” of blackberry, raspberry, cold stone, and damp undergrowth with exceptional complexity and detail. Stylistically, this is a more refined and lifted interpretation of Mazoyères compared to denser, more heavily extracted producers like Dugat-Py. Leroux emphasizes finesse and mineral tension over sheer power. The palate is silky yet concentrated, with layers of black cherry, wild raspberry, forest floor, crushed rock, spice, and subtle savory earthiness. Fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity give the wine tremendous balance and aging structure without overwhelming the fruit. Critics repeatedly noted how unusually elegant and approachable the wine was for such a serious Grand Cru site.

2015 Benjamin Leroux Echezeaux Grand Cru
The 2015 Benjamin Leroux Échezeaux Grand Cru is a beautifully refined and sensual expression of Grand Cru Burgundy from one of the Côte de Nuits’ most respected modern négociants. Benjamin Leroux, former winemaker at Comte Armand, has become one of Burgundy’s elite producers by combining meticulous vineyard sourcing with a restrained, terroir-driven style that emphasizes purity over excess. His 2015 Échezeaux comes primarily from the lieu-dit Vignes Blanches and was crafted with roughly one-third whole-cluster fermentation and about 50% new French oak, resulting in a wine that balances richness with aromatic lift and finesse. The wine is intensely aromatic, offering layers of raspberry coulis, wild strawberry, red currant, rose petal, spice, black pepper, and subtle earth tones. Critics consistently praised its elegance and texture, with Neal Martin giving it 93–95 points, calling it “very fine and very classy,” while Vinous highlighted its “terrific finesse” and perfumed finish. Burghound also noted its concentration and refined tannic structure, emphasizing that despite the ripe 2015 vintage, the wine maintained freshness and precision.

2006 Chateau Cos d'Estournel
Separated from Château Lafite only by little more than a stream, Super Second Growth Château Cos d’Estournel is one of the most exceptional wines in the St-Estèphe appellation. It came to prominence when Louis Gaspard-d’Estournel took ownership in the 19th century and through his interest in the overseas market and love of adventure, brought it to the attention of British royalty, the Tsar of Russia and customers in the Far East. British Army Officers stationed in India were enjoying Cos d’Estournel in the mid-1800s. Louis, known as the ‘Maharajah de St-Estèphe’ built the fascinating oriental-style pagodas and infused the château and winery with an eclectic mix of styles and influences. Renowned for its pedigree, the wines are sumptuous, full-bodied, dark and brooding when young, which go on to develop a complexity and intensity that can, and most often do rival the top estates from Pauillac in quality...including the venerable first growths. In 2009 Robert Parker himself recommended buyers should "Enjoy this beautifully concentrated, exceptionally pure, statuesque Cos d’Estournel over the next 20-25 years." So, if you are on the lookout for a top-tier Super Second Bordeaux in the prime of its life, that won't break the bank, the magnificent 2006 Cos checks all the boxes and then some. At THE BEST PRICE IN TEXAS it's too good to miss.

2021 Massetino Toscana Rosso
The 2021 Massetino Toscana Rosso is one of the most important “second wines” in modern Italian fine wine, coming from the same estate behind the legendary Masseto. Produced by Tenuta dell’Ornellaia (Masseto project), Massetino is essentially the estate’s more approachable—but still ultra-premium—expression of Bolgheri Merlot, with a touch of Cabernet Franc adding structure and aromatic lift. This is not a second wine in the traditional sense. It is a separate grand vin-level bottling philosophy: strict selection, tiny production, and meticulous vineyard farming from the same clay-rich blue soils that made Masseto famous. The 2021 vintage especially is considered a major success for Tuscany’s coastal zone, with ideal conditions that combined warm ripeness with freshness and slow phenolic development.

2019 Roagna Barbaresco Albesani
The 2019 Roagna Barbaresco “Albesani” is one of the most serious and classically structured expressions of Nebbiolo from a producer that sits at the very traditional, minimal-intervention end of Piedmont winemaking. Roagna, led by Luca Roagna, is known for extremely long macerations, neutral élevage, and a philosophy that prioritizes vineyard transparency over immediacy. The Albesani cru in Neive is one of Barbaresco’s top vineyard sites, sitting on limestone-rich soils that produce wines of both finesse and firm, age-worthy tannic structure. The 2019 vintage in Barbaresco is widely regarded as outstanding—combining ripe fruit concentration with strong natural acidity and precise tannins, making it one of the more structured modern Nebbiolo vintages with long aging potential. In Roagna’s hands, Albesani is built very much in a “slow evolution” style: the wine is translucent in color but deeply powerful beneath the surface. Critics consistently note its balance of elegance and intensity, with high scores in the mid-to-high 90s and strong aging projections

1997 Guigal Cote-Rotie La Mouline
The 1997 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie “La Mouline” is one of the most refined and aromatic expressions from the Northern Rhône and a key member of Guigal’s iconic “La La” trilogy alongside La Turque and La Landonne. Produced by the historic house E. Guigal, La Mouline comes from a historic, terraced vineyard in the Côte Blonde section of Côte-Rôtie, known for its lighter-colored, limestone- and granite-influenced soils that yield more perfumed, silky, and floral wines compared to the deeper, more muscular Côte Brune sites. What distinguishes La Mouline is its higher proportion of Viognier co-fermented with Syrah—typically around 11–14% depending on vintage—giving the wine its signature aromatic lift and almost Burgundian perfume. This stylistic choice makes La Mouline the most sensual and immediately expressive of the “La La” trio, while still maintaining the structure and depth expected from top Côte-Rôtie. As with all Guigal single-vineyard wines, it is aged in 100% new French oak for an extended élevage (around 42 months), contributing richness, texture, and long-term aging capacity.

1997 Guigal Cote-Rotie La Turque
The 1997 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie “La Turque” is one of the defining wines from the northern Rhône’s most famous modern producer and part of Guigal’s legendary “La La” trio (La Landonne, La Mouline, La Turque). Produced by the family-owned house E. Guigal, La Turque comes from a steep, sun-exposed parcel in the Côte Brune section of Côte-Rôtie, known for its dark, iron-rich schist soils that yield Syrah of immense depth and structure. What makes La Turque unique in the trio is its small proportion of Viognier co-fermented with Syrah (typically up to ~5%), which adds aromatic lift, silkiness, and floral complexity. The 1997 vintage in the northern Rhône was strong and relatively balanced, producing wines with good ripeness but more classic structure compared to the more massive 1999–2003 period. In Guigal’s hands, La Turque from this year shows remarkable concentration and precision. The blend is overwhelmingly Syrah with a small Viognier component, aged in 100% new French oak for an extended period (typically around 42 months), a hallmark of Guigal’s top cuvées that contributes to its signature polish and longevity.

2008 Futo Estate Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2008 FUTO Estate Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the foundational wines that helped establish FUTO as a serious force in Napa Valley’s cult Cabernet landscape. Founded by Tom and Nancy Futo in the early 2000s on the western hillsides of Oakville, the estate sits beside some of Napa’s most legendary neighbors, including Harlan Estate and Bond. The property was originally known as Oakford Vineyards before the Futos transformed it into a highly meticulous, low-production estate focused on hillside Bordeaux varietals. Early guidance from renowned figures such as Mark Aubert, David Abreu, and Howard Backen helped shape the estate’s identity, while winemaker Jason Exposto became instrumental in refining the wines beginning in 2008. The 2008 vintage marked a major early success for the estate. Napa Valley experienced a challenging but ultimately excellent growing season, producing wines with structure, freshness, and precision rather than excessive ripeness. The 2008 FUTO blend consisted of approximately 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot, a notably high percentage of Cabernet Franc that contributed aromatic lift and finesse. Critics praised the wine heavily upon release, with Robert Parker awarding it 95+ points and Wine Spectator scoring it 96 points.
